Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Thanks to member Labdp for her contributions to our blog!  Remember the nursery rhyme - To market, to market to buy a fat pig, home again home again jiggity jig?
Well, this is Sidney's version. To sofa, to sofa to curl up in my space, you're out of luck, go find your own place.
With the colder weather coming in, I've seen an increase in Sidney's activity. He can dash in the front door, race to the front room, dive onto the sofa and curl up in a ball faster than I can walk five paces to the living room. Then he gives me the what took you so long look.
He has certainly become accustom to the finer things in life. Like the sofa, football shaped pupperoni dog treats. Well, make that any shaped pupperoni dog treats. For Sidney, they are the equivalent to Pete's Liver Treats OMG Liver Treats.
And in the yard, he has one speed only - full speed. He doesn't have the smoothest of gaits, but he more than makes up for it in speed. Today he has about 12 tomato's he's pulled from the vine. It's good to have a dog that plays well independently. Usually I would care, but frost has gotten the plants anyway, so it's too late to get excited.
Last winter he spent freezing in a small rural shelter in Oklahoma. This winter he'll know the good life of foster care here in Nebraska. Maybe he'll have a home to call his very own.
To market to market to buy a fat hog - Sid will find his forever home - diggity dog.

Re: To Market - Sidney's Version
it's great to see how happy they are and supposed to be -- i applaud you for taking care of him and bringing him happiness -- my cat is the same -- he sits in one of my favorite spots -- curls and gets comfy -- when i approach, he gives me the "can I help you?" look -- "are you looking for something?" he says, "it cannot be for this spot -- as you can see, this spot is mine, so, look elsewhere!" Guess what? off I go to some other spot! They're so precious! As for the tomatoes, can you not just clean them off -- give them a good rinse and still use them -- or, are they completely demolished and have become part of the fabric of your outdoors? I was thinking, tomato sauce, soup, or chunks of tomato in its own sauce. Anyway, have much joy with Sidney and I hope he will always be in a loving place.

Re: To Market - Sidney's Version
Isn't it amazing how quickly they move in and take over.
Not only the sofa,but the bed and anything else they have a mind to.
We just got a new shelter dog,about 2 weeks ago and it took her all of 2 days to take over.
Of course she has to share with another adopted dog and 9 rescued cats.
She shares the sofa,our beds,the cat and dog toys and all the food she can get her mouth around.
Don't you just love them ?

Re: To Market - Sidney's Version
It always makes me smile to read how happy Sidney is now. He's becoming accustomed to having the life he should have had all along.
My boys love the colder weather, too! It really does seem to put them into full gear! Always fun to watch!
Hugs to Sidney, he will really enjoy this winter in a home. I hope he can find his forever home soon!
