PetSmart – Tuesday’s Show & Tail

My neighbor and I went to a local PetSmart Saturday afternoon in Tampa. While we were there, we checked out the dogs that were up for adoption:

While walking around the store, we came upon cats:

Snakes:

Frogs:

You kinda have to look past the glare. The store lights were just terrible to work around, but the frog is the dark blotch with a bit of shine along the nose.

A very cute parrot:

and Lizards:

This last puppy (well, he’s actually about 9 years old) reminded me of one from a blog I read. His name is Gizmo:

I wished I could adopt another cat or two and maybe a dog, but alas I don’t have my own place yet. My neighbor was wishing the same thing when she spotted this little cutie:

No, that’s not me in the background. She was one of the women holding the dog adoption.

Thanks for posting this today. So many people over look adoption as an option when searching for a pet. Scout, my Rat Terrier, came via Craigs List. He was only 8 months old and had been in 5 different homes already. He was very timid and I was told he would never be housebroken. I took him to my vet immediately and learned the poor little fella had worms so bad that he developed colitis. After some meds and proper diet he is thriving! I used to work in a pet store when I was in High School and I too, wish I could save them all. The best we can do is tell people to spay and neuter their pets!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young
