Awards for Dogs in the Car

We have another Buddyism for you:

Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.~ Dave Barry

We dogs feel very strongly that we should always go with Jan in the car, in case she gets forgets where she is going and can't find her way home. ~ Buddy of Jan's Funny Farm

Cameron: Hey, I'm so excited.today that JFF is letting me introduce this post.. I got my first solo award from Angel & Kirby. Thank you so much. This is a nice surprise.

The rules of this award are to award it to five blogs which"show some love."
Like Angel & Kirby, I agree that all the blogs we follow speak love in volumes, so it's hard to pick just 5.

Walker

Our latest Buddyism --

"Cat's motto: No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." ~ Unknown

Our motto: No matter what we cats & dogs do wrong, we always try to make it look like Jan did it. ~Jan's Funny Farm

We love happy endings. Although this story has a sad beginning, there is a positive ending. It still amazes us how folks reach out to help one another in a time of need. Initially one woman took on the financial responsibility but then the community chipped in to help a cocker spaniel puppy now named Walker who was purportedly dragged down the street unintentionally.

Paws for an act of kindness
Woman see best, worst in aiding puppy dragged behind car
By Nancy A. Fischer
News Niagara Reporter

The nightmare is over for a puppy that was dragged down the road behind a car for nearly a mile on Aug. 8.

The puppy ended up in the loving arms of a woman who did everything she could to make sure he would live.

Linda Tilton, who rescued the American cocker spaniel she named Walker, said she learned after that day just how much evil there was in the world.

But she also demonstrated how much good there is, too.

"It's really opened my eyes, but there's a lot more happiness and joy," Tilton said. "We love [Walker] to death. He really is a survivor. He has no fear, and he is happy all the time and literally leaps across the house. It's almost as if he was blessed with one more day, and he knows it."

Buddyisms

Cyndi: We opened our own fan page on Facebook but we aren't sure how much we like it since everyone has to find us and we can't post comments anywhere as ourselves.

Buddy: How frustrating! We almost deep-sixed the page, but we have decided to make the most of it and just be ourselves.

Cameron: Why? Who else could we be?

Crystal: We have to be Jan to leave a comment anywhere.

Merci: The funny part is that Jan is so confused she isn't sure who she is on FB since we keep using her name.

Cotton: It is funny. People are answering her instead of us and vice versa.

Rusty: Yes, no one knows who she ... uh, we .. which of us is answering or commenting.

Sam: We're going to have to start leaving initials on all our comments.

Percy: But that would take all the fun out of seeing Jan confused over who she is .. or isn't ... or us ...

Crystal: Yes, see, now we're getting confused too.

Cyndi: We started to post a JFFism a day (if we remember) but for today we're dedicating them to Buddy and calling them Buddyisms.

Buddy: Aw, guys, that's sweet of you. I didn't realize you thought so much of me.

Merci: We think about you more than you realize, Buddy. You inspired this blog, you get into the most mischief, we hear your name yelled most often around here, you come up with the most hare-brained schemes ...

Buddy, shuffling paws and trying to look modest: Aw, shucks, I didn't realize I'm so talented.

Cotton, rolling eyes: These are the JFFisms .. um, Buddyisms we've posted on FB to date. One for each day.

Oh, no! Does this mean we'll have to start paying Jan's bills and fixing her food? Well, if it does, WE get the bed and SHE gets the floor! ~JFF~
