Cats’ Eye View

December 4, 2009

Ozzy here! I’m back! I know it’s hard to believe, but I really don’t sleep all the time!  See, I’m a pretty busy guy.  Every morning I greet the staff as the come in, I play with Mr. Featherman, constantly roll on my back because everyone just has to rub my belly, and I can’t end a day without a daily workout of climbing. It just so happens that my brother, Kobe, likes to start writing on Fridays, during my scheduled nap time.    

But enough about me!  I really wanted to write to you this week to tell you all about my friend Ace!  Guess what?  Ace is a dog!  It’s easy to be friends with Ace!  He seems just seems to always be smiling.

I wanted to share with you Ace’s story.  He is a 7-year-old beagle mix.  Ace was brought to the APL because his owner was very sick and could not take care of him anymore.  But Ace’s owner loved him a lot!  But he may have loved him a little too much.  You see, Ace is very overweight.  (I identify with Ace because I am a bit, ah, “fluffy” myself!) 

The great staff and volunteers here at the APL helped him loose 20 pounds since October!  But Ace still has a long way to go.  He is going to have to remain on a strict diet as well as continue exercising to make sure he has a healthy life. I believe Ace can do it!  This happy-go-lucky guy needs to find the right home that will help him lose weight and give him tons of love.  (My tip of the day:  Walk a hound, lose a pound!  It will help both you and Ace get in shape!)

I really hope that Ace and all of the animals here find loving homes!  Until then, they are in a great place here at the APL with a ton of people who love them!  But there is just nothing like being home for the holidays.

Love and purrs,
Kobe and Ozzy
