Porte Photos’ Daily Pic: Tuesday, May 20th, 2025 – National Rescue Dog Day

“The only thing in the world you can change is yourself
and that makes all the difference in the world”

~ Cher
Singer and actress
Born on: 20th May 1946

Porte Ponderings:

On National Rescue Dog Day, get a dog. Shelters are the best place to get a dog. In Florida many of the shelters are still “Kill Shelters.”

In February 2014 the Tampa Shelter was scheduled to “kill” most of their “inventory” as they were over capacity. The local radio station stepped in and sponsored the adoptions, so the dogs were only $20 (including tags, neutering, shots and microchipping). Rickie has been a member of our family ever since. His name from the shelter was Beach Boy, but we preferred the name Rickie and so did he. His estimated his age was 5 1/2. Now 16 1/2, he’s still my walking companion. And his favorite beach activity is to chase waves, bark and bite at them. ❤

The Monday before May 24 is Victoria. Usually the unofficial start of summer in Canada. People open their cottages or go camping. And yes, it is usually cold and rainy. But we don’t care. Get together and keep warm ❤
