A Second Chance is moving over to a new domain and changing it's name to 3 Pups in a Pop-up. You can find it at http://3pupsinapopup.com/
The reason for this is our upcoming adventure will begin soon, and it makes sense to change over to my new domain. Please follow me there and keep up with me, kismet and roxie as we travel the country and canada in order to raise awareness of homeless pets.
i hope to see you on the road or in one of my soon to be completed children's books! thank you for your continued support!
hihihihihi! guess what??? Mommy and Diddy bought a pop up camper yesterday and this summer we're going on the road! me and kizzy and roxie are so excited! we'll get to see most of the country and Canada for several months.
here's a picture of me on the sailboat this weekend. I had stolen a strawberry out of mommy's drink. (did you know i love to eat anything red??)
anyway, when we got off the boat, the dock manager got mad and said "no dogs allowed" so you know what i did?? i peed on the office door! hahahahahaa!
anyway, here is the pop up now named the "pup up" and we will be promoting animal rescue on our travels. she will be home sweet home for several months! i'll be blogging about my trip and all of our wonderful adventures, like kismet and roxie did 2 years ago in vancouver. see kismet and roxie's x-cellent adventures here.
i'll write more later, i have to go put my rescue bumper sticker on the pup up now!
hihihihihihihi! oooohhhhh! mommy just found the cutest bumper stickers! they're from lacroixtees.com and proceeds go to their facebook (mommy loves loves loves facebook...) rescue page! we're gonna look sooo cute riding around in the car with a bumper sticker that promotes my dawgs!
so what are you waiting for??? order one! or four! Arf!
hi hi hi hi hi! chance here. it's yukky and rainy outside so mommy went to see a movie yesterday. she wanted to take me in her purse but was afraid i'd eat the popcorn she snuck in. oops---no, just kidding. really. (sorry, mommy)
she went to see "my dog tulip", an animated movie directed by sandra and paul fierlinger about the love between a man and his dog. it's based on a true book written by J.R. Ackerley before mommy was even born, which makes it like, a fossil!
it's not a movie for children, which is another reason i couldn't go. it had dog sex and poopie and bad dog behavior in it. none of which i ever do. ever!
the narrator of the movie is voiced by christopher plummer. he plays an old man (like granddaddy's age) who has never found his "special friend" (the movie hints that he's gay, but that's ok, so are lots of mommy's and my friends) and goes through life lonely. until he adopts this german shepherd, tulip. tulip has lived in a little cage all her life and acts wild and crazy, and the old man can't control her, but, still, they fall in love with each other. really. when he takes to to the vet because she scoots on the floor on her butt (i did that once when i had the worms), the vet, voiced by isabella rossallini, tells her tulip's not the trouble, he is.

tulip poops on the sidewalks and everywhere, and the man never cleans it up. mommy said that is a problem, because it makes her real mad when she steps in poopie. then he tries to "fix her up" with a good male shepherd dog so she can have purebred puppies, but it never works. the movie is pretty graphic in showing the sex scenes. since i got tutored when mommy rescued me, i don't really care about that stuff. it's dumb. but tulip wanted it pretty bad, so, finally, the man gave in and let the old “disreputable dirty ragamuffin” from next door get her preggars.
Some of the reviews say that the movie showed irresponsible behavior by the old man, but, well, he was old. and so is the book. and back in the 50's, people weren't as cosse contc , conscent they didn't worry as much about their pets. i mean, he did rescue tulip. and mommy rescued me. so maybe people can just get over the other stuff and just like the movie for what it is. a sweet, touching film about a man and his dog.
when i first came to stay with mommy and diddy, my hair had just been shaved down reeeeel short, and my skin was bright pink. so diddy, trying to be funny (but sooo not) started calling me piglet. it made me and mommy mad, so he finally started calling me my name, chance.
i had one of those stoopid cones on my neck, because i kept biting and scratching myself bloody! and the first 2 dayz, i wouldn't eat. well, i'd nibble on a little pnut butter, and i would devour napkins, but that's it. believe me, there can be some pretty choice morsels on a used napkin. i became something of a "napkin connoisseur" in my circle. fast food or pizza napkins-they were mine! starbucks--not so much.
but the best garbage finds are pizza bonz! If I saw a girl eating pizza, I knew to hang around, because for some reason that I will never understand, gils don’t eat their pizza bonz. Pity them, but my bonus!
Here’s a pic of me after I got my cone off. Skin’s still pink, tail nekked, but feeling much, much better!
