Pet of the Week: Rhubarb

Rhubarb is an old dog looking for a new home, hear her perspective on life.

Greetings from the animal shelter in Friday Harbor! My name is Rhubarb and I’m hoping someone will adopt me or foster me soon!  I’m what you might call a “Golden Girl” and these concrete floors are a little hard on the old bones.

In the meantime, allow me to give all you youngsters out there a few lessons I’ve learned about life:

Never pass up a chance to go for a joy-ride in the car. Be sure to stick your head out the window! Don’t worry about messing up your hair.

Take lots of naps. If possible, find someone to take naps with you. Snuggling is good for the soul.

Be tolerant of those who snore.

If you want something, stare at it for a long time. Nine times out of ten, you just might get it.

Thrive on love and attention. If someone wants to scratch you behind the ears, let them!

When someone else is having a bad day, sit close to them and just “be there” for them.

Someday they may return the favor and it might even include a treat!You are never too old to love someone with all your heart.

Take a chance!

Forgive. Sometimes people don’t keep their promises and that’s o.k.

Love unconditionally.
