Iggy

I got up this morning and while drinking my coffee I go over the morning headlines online. Man was I mad to find out what happened to one of my favorite celebs this weekend! Ellen Degenerous adopted a dog from Moms and Mutts, who she named Iggy, and got him nutered, and hired a trainer so she could acclimate him to her cats. When the training didn't work out and the dog just wouldn't mesh with the cats at all she decided to give the pup to her hair dresser so she could see him daily! The cats where there first and it wouldn't be fair to them now would it? Any whoo, the adjency called to follow up on the dog's progress and well being you know, that is a pretty cool thing for a shelter to do, right? Well, when Ellen told them about Iggy not gettin on with the cats to well, and how she decided to give Iggy to her hair dresser and her daughters, Moms and Muts told her to give them the dog back and ultumatlu took the dog away from a loving home! It is just absurd!!!!! I can understand their policies, but hell she could have just told them, "Oh Iggy's doing great! yadda yadda yaddda........." but she was honest and now those girls are being punished for this. PLEASE, read the artical and sign the petition. They should have just interviewed the family and gotten them to sign the paperwork that Ellen signed instead of ripping the pup from his home. They say they have a policy about small dogs not going to homes with children under the age of 14 "for the dogs protection" but thats stupid, I could understand if the girls' were babies, or tots....but they are 11 and 12, a 12 year old is legally allowed to babysit in most states, so why couldn't they have a dog? I have a small dog, a maltese, in my home with my 2, 3 and 5 year old....are they gonna come after me next? Screw them...they'll get my pup over my dead body. My dog isn't any any harms way, the kids love on him and pet him but they don't hurt him, they know the rules we don't hurt animals. If I ever caught my kids hurting him they would be in BIG trouble, that is a serious no no.
