Stoopid Humans

My whole family is very angry right now. Well the feline siblings really don't care but me, Lares, Mom & Dad are really PO'd. Across the street from our house lives an all white Siberian Husky with his "family" (you'll see why I put the word family in quotes). Well I've never mentioned Bob (we will not use his real name to protect the innocent) before because we don't really get along with him very well. To be more specific Lares doesn't get along with him. Dad says it has something to do with them both being older males. Every time they get close to each other, they try to mount each other and get all growlly and stuff. Stoopid boys, always with the macho, "I'm the alpha dog" bulls&@t. I bet the my friend Zim (the cutest boy husky on any side of the dog park) doesn't find it necessary to be all macho and stuff. He so handsome, he knows that he doesn't need to do all that stoopid stuff. I really wish that I was in his backyard for a play date.

Sorry I got off topic there for a minute. So we don't really hang out with Bob and Mom & Dad aren't really friendly with Bob's parents (they had their reasons before this episode). So this weekend Dad saw Bob walking in the street (fortunately for once he was on a leash) and thought that it looked like Bob had been shaved. Well Dad wasn't 100% sure but today it was confirmed. Mom (yes Mom came to the park, for once), Dad, Lares and I were getting in the car to go to the dog park and got a good look at Bob since he is always tied up outside. Sure enough, except for his head, legs and tail, Bob had been shaved. Now I think we all know that Shaving or Trimming a Siberian Husky is not a good idea. I think we can all see why people might think that shaving a husky in the summer would be a good idea. But who in their right mind would think of doing such a thing with winter quickly approaching. I mean really, it is getting cooler out which us huskies love but we love it because we were born for the cold weather, with double coats to keep us warm even in the coldest weather. So how could a human be so stoopid as to shave their husky. Mom & Dad think it is because they don't want to deal with him shedding. Well than they shouldn't have gotten a husky, stoopids. And besides they never let him in the house anyway. This is what I meant by putting the word family in quotes. Bob's family doesn't really care about him. They leave him tied up outside all the time and don't really pay any attention to him.

I know this maybe hard to believe but not all humans that bring dogs and cats into their homes really think about what they are doing and end up not really caring for them. Fortunately we all live in good homes with humans that care for us, heck they let us use their computers for blogging. Poor Bob across the street doesn't even get to go in the house.

Well this post was originally titled "Stoopid Humans and Other Thoughts" but it seems that my thoughts on stoopid humans (with a brief tangent about Zim) have taken longer than expected so I will have to get to the other thoughts some other time.

Later,
Althea

It's a shame that Bob's humans are so stupid! Everyone knows (except Bob's parents apparently) that you DO NOT shave us! Our man has a cousin that also shaves his female husky, what an idiot! We wish all animals could have good owners!

Poor Bob! It's a shame his owners don't pay more attention to him. I can't imagine why anyone would shave a Husky in the fall! Sigh...maybe they thought it would be easier than brushing him :(

What a family of maroons! Wait 'til you see the pix I post later of the blushing Zim. He was partly shaved when he got here. :( Dirt bag humans!

Such morons! We aren't huskies but we know enough that you don't shave them! And double morons for not letting Bob in the house. Doggies are social animals and need to be around others. We have each other and Mom. Poor Bob; he doesn't seem to have anybody.

That's so sad!! Is there an organization you can contact to report the "family" leaving Bob outside all the time? Maybe they can help him.

oh such a sad story, made me weep....why are such humans soooooo stupid to hounds. Me and Jeannie are quite upset reading these sad tales.

In our papers today a male and female human have been in court for letting a dog die in the car by leaving it in a car park for over 4 hours on the hottest July day of the year, without a window opeh. Stoooopid b****y hooomans. Can you believe they only got a stoooooopid fine. Jeannie was so mad bout it all. ;0( (he was a Newfoundland as well with thick coat( I hate stooopid hoooomans

Hey Althea,

Those dummy humans need to be shaved, trimmed and staked outside for the winter!

Wuufs!

There is an organization that you can contact about poor Bob. It is called Dogs Deserve Better. They have a great web site that explains about the steps you (or they) can take about getting dogs off chains.

Good luck to Bob

Hey Althea, Holly here. Being a rescue myself, maybe your humans could suggest poor Bob come live with you? Maybe those people would rather he live with you, since they don't seem to care much about him anyway. Or, maybe your humans could "anonymously" put some "reasons not to shave your Siberian Husky" notes in their mail box!!

Hey Althea. Here's my thinkin.....some humans are just plain ignorant. If they don't want a shedding canine, then don't get one. DUH. Even I know that one.

Maybe someone could rescue him from this crappy life. I'm sure that he's not getting enough love and hugs and kisses. I know from experience how awful that is.

He could end up in a home where the food is plentiful, the hugs and kisses are never ending, and the warmth and coziness is heavenly.

A wooo wooooo to you from Omaha, NE.
