The judges at the Westminster Dog Show never seemed to like my favorite. I'm watched my Rottweiler, my American Staffordshire Terrier (Don't call it a pit bull or you will get eaten by the owner. ) and other ones get sent packing. | My beagle sure isn't as pretty and perfect as Uno, the 2008 winner, but I guarantee you she can match him in mischievousness. |

Many people believe Siamese cats always looked like the conniving Si and Am from the movie "Lady and the Tra Those cats, favorites to the royal family of Siam (Thailand), had round heads and stockier bodies. The original look of the breed is now known as an Applehead Siamese cat. Though it's a purebred Siamese, that appearance is no longer considered the breed standard. Leo and Theo are appleshead Siamese littermate who live in Little Rock, Ark. with Cindy Hays. Applehead siamese cats have round heads instead of an angular shape. Nearly three years ago, her beloved cats Josh and Alvin died three weeks apart. While cats don’t make a lot of noise or ruckus like dogs do, the silence when she came home at night was acute. She saw an ad in the newspaper for applehead Siamese kittens. Her plan was to buy one kitten, but took enough money for two. Cat lovers know two kittens are better than one because they will keep each other company. The 2-year-olds enjoy a game of fetch and sleeping. Cindy says. Leo climbs in her lap and demands attention, while Theo is content just to snuggle against Cindy. The boys love to nestle together. Send me your pet pics or videos. The truth is that I love to hold puppies, kiss them, smell their breath and watch them play. Since I can never find an unsedated kitten that won't scratch my cornea if I try to hold it close to my face, I prefer to watch them play. While we've enjoyed the puppy frolic for a dozen years, it seems a marketing genius finally did the math on the popularity of cats. Latest statistics show there are 77.8 million pet dogs in America (American Pet Products Association, 2015-2016), there are 85.8 million pet cats. That's nearly 10 percent more cats than dogs! Hence, Kitten Bowl.I'm not a fan of bowls. I say that because there are three going on today, two of which I'll watch, the other, I used to watch to see the commercials. Now, I watch those on Monday. Fortunately, there's nothing but happiness with puppies and kittens. Puppy Bowl XII, where 49 adorable puppies goof around doing all the cute things puppies do, is magical in that, there's no Cruella Deville threatening to skin puppies, no Marley who dies, no Old Yeller to shoot. Disclaimer: I typically say, "I hate puppies." What I mean is that I never want to rear a puppy (again!). I have a speech all ready for you if you are considering adopting a dog. I have a cautionary message for you if you are planning to purchase puppy. I'll save both those topics for another blog entry along with the joys of an adult cat or dog. The West Memphis Animal Shelter received 22 more dogs Thursday. The shelter is completely overwhelmed. desperately need help with people who are willing to adopt their adult dogs. People overlook these dogs because people typically think they want the adorable puppy. Trust me, an adult dog is the 100 percent better choice right now than a puppy? Do any of you want to be standing outside several times a night or in this cold weather trying to convince a puppy to go pee? Look for a plug-n-play adult dog. That's the one that's already house-broken and way past that jumping, nipping, shredding, little ball of speed and mischief that is true of most puppies. These are the dogs that will be on the euthanasia list if they don't find homes. A shelter can only keep dogs for so long before overcrowding makes it impossible. These dogs have been there the longest. Go over to the shelter. It's easy to find. Meet one of these dogs and find room for one in your heart or home. UPDATE: ALIVE Rescue Memphis will pull some of these dogs if it can find fosters homes to keep them. The group would assume financial responsibility and work to find the dog a permanent home.
