So what are you looking at...?

Fletch said:I happened by the Elmsford Animal Shelter today to donate some extra food our spoiled puss won't eat. And danged if I didn't step into the middle of the hugest bunch of kitties I am ever likely to see in my lifetime.
It's a no-kill facility with over 600 cats, as well as 400 dogs. The cats all were clean and healthy, but obviously lonely - there were a lot of "hey you" meows and paws reaching out from cages. Behind the cages were kitty rooms with easily 20-30 hanging out on couches, rugs and climbing thingies. The aroma of 600 cats in a building (the dog pens are outdoors) is overpowering, but only at first. A minute or two visiting, and you forget all about it.
It's sad that some of the older cats especially will never get homes, because people just don't like them as much as the itty baby kittens. Our kitty's 15, and has had some close calls health-wise, but an elderly cat can be a really sweet friend.
*Schatzi* said:Ok, so I am getting a puppy. Well, she is 4 mnths old. I wanted to get an older rescue but funnily enough everytime I put in an application for one it already had a pending application. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to give an animal in need a home. Sooo, I ended up finding a lady breeder who had kept a pup for herself but was no longer able to keep it. So, I get her. Yay!
So, here's my question. I need a good name for her. And I'd love to give her an Old Hollywood kinda name. Like Harlow or something like that. Right now she is Missy. Which is cute but I want something a little more vintage and she doesn't totally know her name yet. She is a pug. I will post pictures when I can.
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Not left to strangers, Feraud!? Loungers aren't strangers! (Are we?)*Schatzi* said:Ok, so I am getting a puppy. Well, she is 4 mnths old.
