BFTB NETWoof News March 25, 2019

Bentley Basset Hound: “Hello and welcome to BFTB NETWoof News for March 25, 2019. We fetched some great stories this week so let me toss it over to Pierre for our top story.”

Pierre Westie: “Most people think of a dog or cat when they imagine a child’s best friend. That is not the case with this incredible cute duo of an 8-year-old girl and her duck. We actually reported on this unlikely friendship back in 2016 when the bond was just beginning. 

   Snowflake and her human, Kylie, go everywhere they can together including the park and sleepovers. In case you’re wondering, Snowflake wears a diaper in the house. She has signed him up to be a therapy duck and we are sure they will quack up the sick patients!”

Bentley: “We like to encourage humans to donate their time to local shelters but the Humane Society of Tampa Bay may have the best offer around! They are looking for people willing to cuddle dogs after surgeries. Most of them are being spayed or neutered and waking up in a strange environment can be very stressful. The touch of a human can help ease that process. Seriously, is there a better job in the world than cuddling dogs? If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, give your local shelter a call and see if they need some cuddlers.”

 Pierre: “You’ve probably all heard the joke about the dog spinning in a circle and when someone asked the owner about it, he replied, “It’s a watch dog and he is winding himself!” Well, the truth is dogs can actually tell time with their noses. That might be why they will go to the window or door when it is time for you to get home from work. When you leave in the morning, your scent in the house is very strong. As the day wears on, that smell fades. Your dog recognizes when your smell reaches a certain faintness, you show back up! Aren’t we amazing?”

Bentley: “Yes, we are and this next story reinforces that statement. Charlie, an 11-year-old Golden Retriever lost both of his eyes to glaucoma but he is blessed to have a little buddy to help him. Maverick is a four-month old puppy that has become Charlie’s best friend and guide pup. He will put toys in front of Charlie so they can play and walks close by so his senior bestie doesn’t have any problems getting around.

   Let’s check in with Paisley to see if spring is finally going to spring forth everywhere.”

Paisley the Weather Lab: “Well, most of the country is experiencing some nice spring-like weather but our friends in the north still have a chance of snow. There will be a chance of scattered showers in the Pacific Northwest but most of the coast will be fair. Hopping over to the east coast, it will be sunny in New England and nice most of the way down south. You’ll have a few early storms in the Carolinas but overall you should be able to get out and enjoy the season.

   The southwest will be sunny and warm continuing along the Gulf coast. We might see some thunderstorms here in south Texas next weekend but it’s going to be a beautiful week! The center of the country is looking great too! You’ll have some mild and breezy days but overall it will be pleasant.”
Bentley: “That sounds like a good forecast and I’ll have my Treatibles in case there are any thunderstorms. Hopefully, you have entered for a chance to win a container of these Full Spectrum Hemp Soft Chews but if not, you still have time to do it today! 

   We have a big week ahead and hope that you will stop by and visit. Have a great day and be sure to grab yourself some happy.”
