I love a good dog story, and if you don’t, you’re probably in the wrong place. This morning’s story comes via The Washington Post’s newsletter, The Optimist. It’s about a dog named Elvis, adopted by a former Elvis impersonator.
Elvis was the only dog not adopted when the Chicago shelter held an adoption event. He’d been at the shelter for four months before a former Elvis impersonator saw him and took him home. That’s it. Just another dog adoption story. Except for some reason, this particular dog is one I just want to grab and say “Whosagoodboy” the way we humans are prone to do. For the full story and more photos, see “Nobody wanted Elvis the dog. Then a former Elvis impersonator saw him.”
By the way, it’s certainly nice to get a free newsletter that brings only good news. I sometimes forget there is such a thing. Good news, that is.

Lovelyt story, Colorado ! You have ‘pitties’, we have ‘staffies’ (staffordshire terriers), and I love them both dearly; I love their big wide foreheads and their solid little bodies; I love their happy faces. I detest and loathe the people who have caused either breed to become known as dangerous. And I’m not a dog person ! (How’s Charley ? – and Rowdy, of course !)
Yep. It was this pup’s great big smile that got me. Communities in Colo are gradually dropping their unfair bans of these breeds/types, but progress is slow. Charley and Rowdy are great and appreciate your asking about them!
Now you’ve got me doing it, spelling it Charley instead of Charlie.
Nice lookin’ web site/blog….where’d you spy this template/theme/meme…..tell me you made it in Blocks…no matter it looks great…and who’s Rowdy?
Hiya. This is the standard WordPress.com Resonar theme. I tried it briefly before the last one I was using and decided to take another run at it, this time with a dark background. It has some options I haven’t figure out yet, but crossing my fingers. I’m not smart enough with blocks to have made it myself. Anyway, thank you. High praise coming from the master. Rowdy is my cat. He appears several times elsewhere on this blog.
I didn’t know you had a kitty cat. Our cat was with us for two decades…and it hurt so damn much we she went I just can’t get another. ….You know blocks and Gutenberg where developed to make third party page makers unnecessary, but in fact Gutenberg created a monster called Eliminator. But I wonder if the real story will ever come to light. I have serious concerns about the WordPress theme market. I’ll post about this one day. Say hi to Charles and Roddy. …peace
Yep, I’ve always had a cat and a dog (except for a couple of years in no-dogs apartments). I went a year without a dog after I lost Annie because it hurt so much, but the vacillation stopped as soon as I saw Charlie’s picture, and I haven’t regretted it for a moment. Not that I don’t still worry about outliving him, or him outliving me. (In fact, this is his “homecoming” day; I brought him home one year ago today.)
I’ve heard of Gutenberg, of course, but not Eliminator. WordPress’s constant “improvements” left me floundering some years back. Once upon a time I felt I knew what I was doing …
