    Default Very neat article

    Ya know, I never thought about dogs or any other animals being on the Titanic....How sad to think of the ones lost. But wonderful that 2 made it. Most likely a woman or two had her arms around her furkid and said: "I'll stay here, thank you, if my little one can not come with me!" Very emphatically, mind you! I would not leave my "kids" behind...ever.

    That's why my guys noses are forever twitching! They're smelling tons of things that I can't.

    Very interesting facts, I didn't know about the dogs on the Titantic either.
    for posting.
    They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon

    I finally got around to reading those. Thanks for posting it! They were neat, especially the one about the poodles.
