It's Easter time, so lots of chocolate will be eaten. However do
remember chocolate is poisonous for dogs! So keep your furry friends
away from the choccie eggs!<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bV5WmtRLpuo/VhOzOWxTWkI/AAAAAAAAAyE/l-gTMeiKBC4/s1600/10351085_1568460330095665_4173250367528045055_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bV5WmtRLpuo/VhOzOWxTWkI/AAAAAAAAAyE/l-gTMeiKBC4/s320/10351085_1568460330095665_4173250367528045055_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
CHAPTER 6 -<br />
Doodle is lost for woofs. She feels like her whole world has collapsed.
Surely it can’t be true? Is she really just a common mongrel, like that
unspeakable Texan mutt? There again, it could perhaps explain why that
bitchy Maltese next door: Tabitha, crosses the road with her nose in the
air whenever she sees Doodle.<br />
<br />
She sniffs and a little wimper of despair escapes. Gizmo’s chivalrous side is activated again. He’s<span class="text_exposed_show">
a sucker for the lady dogs’ sniffles. He didn’t mean to upset her. He
had no idea that she was so sensitive. Clearly she’s quite a vulnerable
pooch, and he’ll have to be more careful with her.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<br />
"OK, you may not be a pedigree dog, but on the other hand how many
mutts can say that they’re ‘designer dogs’? That’s got to make you a bit
special.”<br />
<br />
Doodle cheers up a little, and the sniffles quieten down, but she still looks a bit lost.<br />
<br />
“Really Doodle, you need to get out more and toughen up a bit. Mix with a few more furries.”<br />
<br />
“Yes, you’re right Gizmo. Being a designer dog is better than nothing.
At least we’re not common mongrel riff-raff. And you’re also right about
needing to get out more. I don't socialise much with other dogs. It’s
not my fault. My humans aren't very keen on walks, and I spend a lot of
time alone.”<br />
More sniffles.<br />
<br />
"Look, I’m sorry Doodle. I didn't know you were a 'home alone’ dog."<br />
<br />
“Yes, well I do spend a lot of time on my own, but you get used to it.
I’m over feeling lonely, and I’m very comfortable with my own company.
So you can forget any ideas that I might need you in my bed. Anyway, I
think it must be dinner time by now.”<br />
<br />
Doodle gets up, stretches languidly, and struts off towards the dining room.<br />
<br />
Gizmo shrugs. “Ah well, that’s a shame. One that got away, eh Giz my
lad? Plenty more in the long grass, but all the same ... She’s
definitely a bit up her own backside, but it would have been nice to
have a cuddle. Anyway, let’s see how things pan out.”</div>

<br />
I'd like to tell y'all about a rather strange e-mail that I recently
received from a chap called Nadu Totow Savimbi. It's a very sad
tale of how despite inheriting a lot of money, he's been unable to
access his bank account, due to the overthrow of the goverment in his
country. Nadu explains that he has 20 wives, 78 children, and 10
grandmothers to support, and that he desperately needs my bank account
details, passport etc so that he'll then be able to transfer his late
father's 37 million dollar estate into my account. Of course he'll bung
me a few million just for letting him use my account and helping him
with his extended family.<br />
<br />
Woof-bloody-tastic, no ? Sorry, but does Nadu really think I was born
yesterday ? and doesn't he understand I'm a dog and unlikely to need a
bank account ? Honestly, I've said it before and I'll say it again -
some humans must have fur for brains !<br />
<br />
I mean, why don't I ever get an e-mail from someone who says they're
going to transfer two tons of dog biscuits to my bowl, just so that
their dog can access it, as his own has been frozen. Now that would be
talking my language, but realistically I suppose it's unlikely to happen
... a dog can dream though !Gizmohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13206947222657373453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480989551258532924.post-66331489359325683612015-03-30T14:29:00.000+01:002015-03-30T14:29:14.082+01:00I woof about my book 'Nobody's Poodle'<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you see from the photo Santa brought me some great toys which was
nice, and I had a wooftastic Christmas dinner, usually I have to stick
to a prescription diet, but hey it was xmas ! My festive dinner <span class="text_exposed_show">was
better than my human parents who both had stomach viruses and could
only eat a very small amount ! Check out these two menu's and see what
you think …<br /> <br /> My Christmas Menu<br /> Chicken filet lightly sautéed in virgin olive oil with chopped up green beans and a small amount of baked potato with gravy.<br /> Followed by mature cheddar cheese on cheesy biccies !<br /> <br /> <br /> My Humans Christmas menu <br />
An egg boiled in slightly salted water (one each that is - after all
it was Christmas day, so hey, they pushed the boat out) and a small
amount of Tomatoe Heinz soup. <br /> For dessert nothing as they spent the
rest of the evening rushing to and from the toilet having failed
miserably to digest their main meal.<br /> <br /> On a personal level,
health wise this year has been good. I have had no major illnesses or
accidents or attacks by other nasty dogs ! Just minor stuff, landing on
my furry face slipping on a wet patch on a tile, trying to run through a
glass door. I'll explain, I saw a pesky moggy in my garden and wanted
to chase the feline, but instead unfortunately head butted it (the door
not the cat ) with full force, OUCH !<br /> <br /> As some of you are aware I
published my first novel this year 'Nobody's Poodle' and was recently
listed in the top 50 guardian indie books, which was wooftastic ! I
also have had loads of great reviews on amazon. <br /> <br /> Moving on to
the subject of the stray dog situation, It's been another tough year in
Tenerife for the refuges but they are still battling along and managing
to still look after the doggies in their care. I don't know how they do
it.<br /> <br /> On a positive note this year Adeje council started an
initiative to promote responsible pet care through leaftets, and talks
which is good, and a step in the right direction. Marion at
Accion-Del-Sol continued with her excellant education campaign with
visits to schools. The events at Accion-Del-Sol were all very well
attended this year and support for Accion-Del-Sol is now coming from
many different nationalities which is great.<br /> <br /> Tierra Blanca in
Fasnia is going from strength to strength under the guidance of Isabel,
vet and Manager. The refuge is not quite fully constructed yet but it's
getting there, I think Tierra blanca is doing very well given the fact
that they have 400 dogs to look after and only a few staff to keep the
place clean. Isabel's management skills must be good !.<br /> <br /> There
is now a dog beach in Guimar and I have heard there is going to be
another beach for pooches, and is situated between El Medano and los
abrigos which if that happens will be Wooftastic ! <br /> <br /> I have only
mentioned two refuges in this post, because these two refuges are the
main ones on the island in the South and they keep in contact with me
the most. The other smaller refuges of course also do fantastic work !<br /> <br />
If you would like to help the stray dogs of Tenerife, but feel maybe
uncomfortable about donating cash to a refuge that you haven't visited,
volunteer your time and bring along a bag of dog food that way you can
find out about the refuge and speak to the refuge staff, also
volunteering your time can be just as helpful as a cash donation. I
don't want to put off anyone giving a gift of money though, as the
refuges badly need cash. I am only offering this as a suggestion to make
an informed decision for yourself. A list of the refuges is on my
website <a href="http://tenerifedogs.com/tenerife-refuge-shelters/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://tenerifedogs.com/tenerife-refuge-shelters/</a><br /> <br />
Of course it would be great if no refuges were needed and people took
more responsibility for their furry friends , but it's a not a perfect
world and so refuges are unfortunately necessary.<br /> <br /> To all the
refuges on the island, dedicated foster carers, fund raisers and to
anyone who has given a rescue pooch a home, and all my amigos on my
facebook page have yourself a WoofTastic New Year </span></div>

<br />
I have just set up a website <a href="http://wooftasticbooks.com/">Wooftastic Books </a>which is a showcase for authors and books that feature
dogs in an ethical way. Starting as a virtual bookshelf, growing into a
virtual bookcase, and hopefully eventually a wooftastic library of
dog-friendy books.<br />
<br />
We have a selection of genres: novels, memoirs, childrens’ stories,
educational and informative books … whether written to inform, educate
or entertain; factual or fiction; for children or adults you’ll find the
best dog books here.<br />
<br />
These books are the result of the authors’ experiences with dogs in
many different ways … helping in refuges, being a search-and-rescue team
member, running educational programmes, and even rescuing dogs from war
zones. They’re all, in their own way, about our special relationship
with man’s best friend.<br />

What a great turn out in support of the doggies. Andy was accompanied by a dancing dalmation, young elegant dancers showed off their moves and a cheeky young chap did a wonderful Michael Jackson rendition. There were some great raffle prizes and the children enjoyed the workshop and bouncy castle. The event was finished off with a fashion show.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the Terrace Bar in Amarilla Golf for letting accion-del-sol use their venue and the performers for giving their time for free.<br />
<br />
The only missing ingredient was Karen Clack who is a very important volunteer at Accion-Del- Sol. We were going to celebrate her 50th birthday at the fiesta but unfortunately Karen was ill and could not join us. We wish her a speed recovery and look forward to celebrate her birthday soon..!<br />
<br />
If you would like to visit or assist Accion Del Sol in any way in the future please ring 922778630 for more information or do call in Monday-Friday 3-6pm. The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the Parque Eolica where the windmills are . <br />
Accion Del Sol is always looking for people who would like to walk some of the many dogs at the refuge, if you have any spare time and would like to volunteer please do ring or just call in , you would make a few dogs very happy. <br />

<br />
Nuevo caso de Maltrator animal de en Tenerife, esta vez en el municipio de Los Realejos, donde se golpeó a una perrita en la cabeza partiéndole el cráneo en dos.<br />
<br />
A la perrita, de nombre LUNA, se le encontró conciente dentro de un bidón metálico cubierta de tierra, quedando ingresada en una clínica veterinaria con ataxia, disminución de sensibilidad, hipotermia, taquicardia, boca llena de tierra…con un diagnóstico de Síndrome Vestibular Central debido a traumatismo craneoencefálico y accidente cerebrovascular.<br />
<br />
LUNA se irá a una casa particular a recuperarse de las heridas físicas y del grave trauma psicológico, gracias a la educadora canina MARIA PEREZ VIVAS.<br />
<br />
Este caso de maltrato animal posee diligencias previas abiertas en el juzgado de instrucción de la demarcación judicial de La Orotava, autos penales donde se ha personado la protectora de animales que se hizo cargo de la perra, PROTEANIMALOY, (ELOY TORRES )por medio de su abogado solidario, SANDRA BARRERA VINENT. A lo largo de la próxima semana se espera se interponga QUERELLA por las personas de sus rescatadoras a fin de que su agresor, o agresores, sean castigados.<br />
<br />
Suerte LUNA.<br />
