Mom and dad just returned from a really long trip to Europe where one of my two legged brothers just got married. They were actually gone for only two human weeks but that is 14 weeks in my world and that is a long time! (I was so excited to see them when they got home; I could have peed all over myself...oh, that's right ..... I did) Anyway, my brother Josh married this Irish Lass named Catriona (aka Nina) who is terrific - she pets me a lot and lets me lick her face. The people who attended the wedding were overwhelmingly Irish (the real kind-from Ireland! Not like Irish Setters who just use the name).
During the Reception, Josh and Nina did something really cool. They handed out information about two agencies devoted to helping people and requested that those present at the wedding consider getting involved with one of them. The first was a neat organization that loans money to people around the world to start their own businesses. It is called KIVA (http://www.kiva.org/) and dad asked me to include it in this entry even though he hopes people will select the second organization which is..... US!!! That Josh and Nina would mention Canines for Kids at their wedding reception is really a very neat thing. It made dad cry, the wimp.
I don't really know much about Ireland so I was interested when I heard dad talking to someone about Ireland and the Irish... he said the island is very crowded and quite noisy. But it turns out that it is not the people of Ireland that makes it such a crowded country, but their hearts which are evidently massive. Then I heard dad say that the country is perhaps the loudest of any in the world because these massive hearted people sing and laugh without ceasing. As a dog with his heart in his chest and who spends most of my time using my mouth to eat and lick myself, I find this all very confusing. Yet mom and dad really seem to love these people so since they like them so much, so do I. But I'm still not crazy about Irish Setters.
So, time will tell but maybe we will be hearing from a few Irish folks in the future. If so, that would make Canines for Kids an International Organization!!! If not, it is probably because they are simply singing and laughing again which dad says enriches the world in and by itself.
That's about it for now. Dad is in contact with two organizations about adopting us as a fund raiser and I'll let you know if this develops further.
