Note to self:
when you are missing your puppy don't try to make yourself feel "better"
by visiting the Chicago Animal Shelter.
It will not make you feel better. It will actually make you feel much worse.
Harlow's been away at Camp Fremont for nearly ten days now.
Camp Fremont= Chris's parents house in Nebraska.
Camp Fremont has all of the luxuries a dog like Harlow could dream of.
A huge backyard full of squirrels and rabbits.
A cabin outside of town where he can run freely and chase deer until his heart desires.
And a wide open pasture with one old grump horse named Amicus where Harlow
can pretend for just a second he truly is a stallion, after all.
Until Amicus notices Harlow and then he runs away as fast as possible barking and yipping until he's safe back at the barn.
Most importantly, Harlow can poop freely without having someone always standing right behind
him with a plastic bag in hand.
So wipe that look of shame off your face Harlow (yeah, you know the one)
you can finally have some privacy!
And at the end of a camp day he cozies up to his cousin, Vandal, for a long restful sleep.
So yes, I know Harlow is in good hands at camp.
And I know it's good for a city dog to have some time away like this.
But after ten days I miss my Harvey so very bad.
sidenote- Harvey is one of Harlow's many nicknames.
He also goes by: Harls, Har, Harvard, Harbie, Harbow, Harloso, Carl, Charvey, Carl's Jr, and Jimmer.
Doesn't everybody have this many nicknames for their dog? I thought so.
So because I'm missing my pup so bad,
after I received my weekly email from the shelter about which dogs are available for foster this week,
I decided to go meet some of these pups because I'm thinking about fostering one for the holidays.
Once I got to PAWS (the Pets Are Worth Saving shelter)
I learned that the foster dogs are actually at another location.
But the worker told me I could go meet some of the dogs up for adoption if I'd like.
And when I walked down that first hallway the amount of sad puppy dog eyes I saw staring back at me
broke my cold little heart.
But it's actually a really nice shelter, I just can't stand to think of all those abandoned dogs
sleeping in those tiny rooms night after night. Better than cages though, I suppose.
But before I go on another tangent about Let's Save the Animals I'm going to turn it over
to some other really great bloggers that I assure you will not be talking about
depressing matters like animal shelters and abandoned dogs.
Here they are...
