I got a bath today

Once again the kind folks from Carolina Care Bullies showed me loving...I attended their Pet Wash and Adoption Event at Unleashed Pet Store in Raleigh.  Although  as usual, I was scared, I can't deny the bath made me feel so much better.  I'm working on my dog to dog skills because I get weird sometimes when I meet a new dog.

Telling my story will never get old.  I'm finding a lot of people understand about inbreeding and when they meet me, it really hits home.  I'm happy to be the ambassador of education.

Happy Thanksgiving...Who is more thankful, my people or me?

I would love to be the one to say how grateful I am for my family finding me and providing me with my daily necessities and love in abundance.  When people look at me they see this little twisted body and this permanent smile and wonder if I'm in pain or if perhaps I should have been put down.  What they don't realize is that I know no different.  I am who I am and I'm here and I'm loud and proud!  The only time I wonder if everyone else feels this way is when I can't scratch an itch in a particular spot or when I can't get on to the couch.  With the help of my people, I'm 100%.

I've seen people tell my family how lucky I am that they found me.  What they don't always know is how grateful they are for me finding them.  When I make them laugh and smile or when they are cuddling up to me or presenting me proudly, I know they can never imagine life without me. 
Love, Cuda

Designer Dogs

It used to be that there was pride in owning a "mutt"...now shelters have all kinds of dogs discarded from people thinking how cute it is to combine breeds.  Designer dogs, pocket puppies and hybrids are all giving the same message..that it's ok to continually overpopulate this world with unwanted cats and dogs.  People seem to assume that as long as there is a shelter taking the animals in, or better yet, a "no-kill" shelter..then their conscience is clear.  People don't understand that the cute Puggle they created has a breed that howls incessantly and another that can be less affectionate than others...so the creation here?  A shelter dog.

There is even a site for "designer mixes"...and where a lab/doberman mix used to be a cute mistake adopted from a shelter, now people are trying to make tons of money off of them!!  In our  household we have a Boston Terrier and Mini Pin mix.  We were told she was an "oops" but  when we were asked for $50 to pay for her first set of shots and vet visit, we realized she and her litter mates were being advertised as BosPins!

It is so disheartening to know how many cute breeding experiments resulted in the shelter. 

Cuda Support Gear

OK, so selling stuff is kind of weird...I have a store devoted to me..should I think I'm so great that people will want to buy stuff with my face on it? Yes..because, guess what...you'll never ever find anyone like me!
Here is the link to my store...take a look around...I'm really excited that people have already bought things..I feel very proud!

People who care

I had a great time at the Super Pet Adopt-a-thon at Greensboro Harley Davidson.  I want to share the groups who were there showing support for animals in need!
Rescue Groups from across the triad including  Safe Haven Equine Rescue and Retirement (SHERR), the SPCA of the Triad, Animal Rescue Groups of NC (ARGNC.com), Carolina Care Bullies, Boston Terrier Rescue of North Carolina, Pet Supplies Plus and Animal Control of Guilford County, NC were there, donating their time in an effort to educate the public and find some furever homes for deserving pups and kitties!

There are too many unwanted cats, kittens, puppies and dogs in the world and for every pet placed, there is a long line waiting...and too many never find homes.

Super Pet Adopt-a-thon Greensboro Harley Davidson

Carolina Care Bullies and Greensboro Harley Davidson will be hosting a super pet adoptathon Nov 13, 2010 from 12-4.  I urge you to attend..I am so excited to go!  I saw this event advertised by Carolina Care Bullies, a wonderful organization for dogs like me...and of course, being the biker dog I am- what better than to have this event at a Harley dealer!  The Piedmont Humane Society and Guilford Animal Control as well as the SPCA are on the flyer too...and while chili will cause me and my family an unpleasant experience....you humans can check out the chili cook-off taking place that day!

Hope to see you there!

A little comic relief

I was searching the internet for "inbred dogs" because I wanted to see if I could find a dog out there like Cuda....and I found this dog..."inbread"  Hope that makes you smile...Love, Cuda
