The dog in this video, Chaser, reminds me so much of my dog before Rufus. Her name was/is Kincorra. She, too, knew the names of all her toys and countless other phrases. In fact, it's by her example that I often referred to Rufus as Dummy or Retard .  He was just never as smart as she was, but make no mistake: he was smart in his own way.  As Aesop Jr. (apparently) said, "Everything is a genius in it's own way, but if you just a fish by it's ability to climb a tree it will go it's whole life believing it's stupid."

Remember when the #DonaldTrump administration scrubbed #puppy mill inspection records from the USDA's website last year? Guess what? The #Florida legislature is running with that ... In #TrumpNation there are no limits to depravity. #dog #dogs http://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/03/06/trump-blocks-access-to-puppy-mill-inspections-as-florida-weighs-dog-store-legislation/

If you don't love #dogs we can't be friends. There are many traits I can forgive in my friends but this isn't one. http://www.boredpanda.com/kennel-club-dog-photographer-competition-2017/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=ggn

Anyone in Texas want to spread the word? #dogs #dog Originally shared by Harold Chester Central Texas, please help if you can. http://www.kcentv.com/mb/news/local/dogs-will-be-euthanized-if-humane-society-does-not-find-them-homes/442198783

I don't believe in a "hell" but I would change my beliefs if I could be assured puppy mill owners ended up there. #dog #dogs #fidofriday http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/the-dog-factory-inside-the-sickening-world-of-puppy-mills-w457673

Awesome. Way to go #firefighters! #dogs Originally shared by WSVN-TV STRIKE A PAWS: It was a fun day for the Miami-Dade firefighters who took part in a photo shoot aimed at helping find "fur-ever" homes for some abandoned dogs. http://wsvn.com/news/local/homestead-firefighters-pose-with-abandoned-dogs-for-calendar/

And this being Texas this jackass won't be punished. That he was allowed to adopt a dog after seriously injuring three is just mind boggling. #Texas #Dogs Originally shared by John Carroll And they actually let him adopt a dog? Ruled by Jackals..........Thoughts? http://thefreethoughtproject.com/?p=45102

I can honestly say, I've never heard of this particular -oddle before. #dogs http://www.vetstreet.com/dogs/aussiedoodle

"See something, say something" means absolutely nothing in Polk County GA.

Charlie playing with Indigo. Yes, the white dog's name is Indigo . He's a #GSD - #husky mix with a Hannibal Lector fetish. Really playful, though. Most of then other #dogs wouldn't go near him. The girl, Indigo's monkey, is named Loki. Yeah, a girl named Loki. And, there is Charlie. #fidofriday

Awesome! #dogs   Originally shared by The Boston Globe “There’s an ocean’s worth of dogs washing up on the shore. The sad fact is there are so many more dogs than there are homes.” http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2015/11/22/rescue-operation-brings-thousands-dogs-new-homes/2edrGPmBF2C8FgQ5wbsduO/story.html?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Afacebook&utm_content=bufferf6c3a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=plus.google.com&utm_campaign=buffer

It's #fidofriday! Share your pictures of #dogs  on Twitter or Instagram (ewww ... I know, right?). Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House will donate a dollar to the ASPCA. http://www.aspca.org/blog/aspca-teams-random-house-dr-seuss-enterprises-help-animals-need

That's nice. #dogs http://www.trueactivist.com/there-is-an-anual-festival-in-nepal-that-thanks-dogs-for-being-our-friends/

Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows they miss us. Dogs miss their packmates more than you or I miss our significant others. (Ha ha, I almost spelled significant owners ) Originally shared by PBS Do #dogs really miss us? More from Brain Craft (from PBS Digital Studios) http://to.pbs.org/bcdogs

Is this a good thing? So many people want #dogs shelters are expanding ? Does that seem right? Yay for the dogs that find homes, though. http://www.npr.org/2015/01/01/374257591/with-rescue-dogs-in-demand-more-shelters-look-far-afield-for-fido

Well, that was unpleasant. Since we didn't go yesterday, I decided to take Dumb and Dumber to the dog park today for some good exercise and long naps afterwards. That it is cooler outside than it has been all week didn't hurt - Rufus loves cooler weather more than I do. Dummies Everything was going normally. We walked down one path, followed the creek, stopping at the usual spots so Rufus could jump in the water and cool off, until we arrived at the small lagoon-thing. I don't know what else to call it. The creek pools and then a small section breaks out and rejoins to the larger creek. At one point it was a called a pond, but to me it looks more like a pool of water. Regardless, we were there when a park ranger came walking buy with a brown Australian Shepherd or Mini Aussie. He was looking for it's owner which I thought was extremely nice of him since most rangers would have just taken the dog to a shelter and called it a day. Rufus at First Water Rufus...

I don't have any money to spare, but maybe some of you can toss in a couple of bucks. #dogs   Originally shared by Andrew Charlie, my dog, my best friend, needs your help! If we can't do the amputation we will be forced to put her down. http://www.gofundme.com/c8kfg0

Not that every day isn't spent with the Dummies, but this day had great light.
