Celebrating Animal Celebrities


Being an actor as a young animal can make one burn out early in life. It has left many animal celebrities with a lack-luster existence. For former acting dogs this subject has been the most "paw-plexing".

On this website former Lassie impersonators make their lives meaningful. Helping jimmy from the well was just practice for rescuing people in real life.  http://www.kingsvalleycollies.com/mobility/service-dog-stories

Chance, from family favorite Homeward Bound, gives his owners a chance to have more mobility.

The truth is, any animal in service is a Celebrity. Their trainers have prepared them to help people. A big shout out to the service dog commuity.

Snowmen ask for Preservation

As winter progresses shocking pictures of snowmen melting around the world have surprised and enraged the media. None have been more saddened than the snowmen themselves. The chilling conclusion is that the public is completely ignorant of the plight of snowmen. Their short life span only gives them time to enjoy a few short, cold days before turning into a puddle in the sun. Snowmen think that this treatment is flakey. "They have become discontent with watering spring flowers" States a woman who found a pile of coal and carrots in her Gardenia garden. That's right, we are only seeing the beginning of the union of snowmen in bringing awareness to their demands which we call advocarrots in honor of carrots often used for snowmen noses. Unfortunately, humans have been comfortable with the short life of snowmen for centuries. Especially children, who have been numbed by movies and books that portray the snowman as inevitably impermanent are letting snowmen melt away. Local children were interviewed and one child got to the root of the issue. "No one can last forever, and that is what we learn from the snowman". Snowmen are no longer content with a hat and scarf, a few mittens, they want a longer life. They want to live to see the next winter. As a "walking" metaphor for death they feel the human race should treat them in higher esteem.... or rather with no steam at all. "Our demands precipitate from the love we have for the families that make us" cries out one of the advocarrots. In hopes of cooling down the situation, freezers will be available as a third option where public bathrooms are available. This is the most frostless beings can provide for their icy friends. Continual efforts will be made in order to keep the advocarrots at bay or rather, from turning into one.
