Weekly Wag’s Daily News team is a highly esteemed group of brilliant colleagues collaborating to bring you our spin on what matters today. Here they are!
Lincoln is a 21-month old American Bulldog who, despite recovering from two recent elbow surgeries, is still a menacing beast at the front the door. The homeless guy came to us temporarily a little over a year ago. And everyone who knows dog talk knows that ‘temporarily’ means forever. The malnourished bag o’ bones had a head the size of Texas balanced on a skinny little polka-dotted body. But he’s all fattened up now and trying to figure himself out.
Lincoln is still finding himself and will ask lots of questions. He’s struggling with growing up, holding up his big head, and not plowing over guests like a bowling ball at the front door.
Redd, the Doberman-Hound mix is an older gent with a long list of impressive credentials. The Monmouth County SPCA alumni had already been given up twice by the age of two, has only one hip -- with a mean scar to prove it, and can snatch a flying bird with his teeth right out of the air.
Redd is more of the Charles Bukowski of the staff. He’s sneaky and not always truthful, but frank at the same time. He tells it how you don’t want to hear it. He's cuddler and lover with a poet’s heart and a seasoned old man’s mind.
Claude is a bit of different breed. He is elegant. Sophisticated. He is handsome and young and lives a posh life with two older women – two cats from the Popcorn Park Zoo. Unlike Redd and Lincoln, he has manners and class and wouldn’t dare rip apart a garbage can, or pee on the new rug, or eat my computer wires while I was writing for a deadline. No, not well-mannered Claude.
Claude will appeal to the more refined readers. He’ll discuss literature, food, wine, and the good life.
Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteBuying a puppy/dog from anyone but an individual is only supporting puppy mills or encouraging further breeding of an already overpopulated segment of our society. Animal rescues, breed specific or not, & shelters are tops in my book!
ReplyDelete14 years ago, before I knew any better, I bought a Toy poodle from a backyard breeder. But I feel that I rescued him. The poor thing had hook, ring round & one other kind of worm. @ 9 months of age, he was being kept in a cage until he was 1 year old & his pups would be recognized by the A.K.C. I quickly had him fully tended to by a vet & now he's a healthy, happy, 15 year old baby.
