Tomorrow’s garbage day

Tomorrow’s garbage day so everybody had their garbage out at the curb. Hoshi’s inspecting each bag as we walk by for anything edible. We’re walking by one yard when I notice a large rock by a garbage bag. Getting closer it looked like a large cat eating from the bag. Hoshi comes up to it. It lifts its head up (a huge possum). The possum’s like, “Where did you come from!?” and Hoshi’s like, “Nice night! Mind if I share your dinner?” Hoshi’s so food oriented he didn’t care about the possum.

Shaved Hoshi down. Lately Hoshi’s been sleeping on the cool tile floor. I figure if he’s this hot I’ll give him bath and shave him down. He was way past due for a trim.

A blind cocker spaniel was found wandering in the middle of the road by a couple driving through.  She was lost and confused.  The couple picked her up and took her to Ehrlich Animal Hospital.  Her hair was so badly matted hospital staff couldn’t tell what sex she was.  After shaving her down the staff realized she was blind from untreated glaucoma.  The only treatment option is removal of both eyes otherwise she would be in pain the rest of her life.  The Suncoast Animal League is hoping to receive $1,100 to pay for her surgery.  Visit suncoastanimalleague.org if you would like to contribute.
