Welcome! This is the Tuesday edition of the Pootie Diaries.
Today's Subject:
What I have learned about pooties and woozles, and their human friends (Often while looking for something else).
This diary is a politics free zone, meant for relaxing and unwinding for a few minutes, before going back to the serious stuff.
Feel free to add your own photos and comments. Pet care and concern comments are always allowed, of course, but otherwise, please keep it lighthearted and friendly.
Also, please watch the language, because this is a kid friendly diary. Thanks!

What I have learned about pooties and woozles, and their human friends (Often while looking for something else).
WOOZLES
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” Roger Caras
Woozles Like to Help with Laundry
Dog poop powers street lamp
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/...
According to the Associated Press, people who head to the Pacific Street Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, can use their dog's waste to light a new street lamp.
The "Park Spark" poop converter, which was invented by artist Matthew Mazzotta, transforms the canine excrement into energy by harvesting its methane.
Dog helps save the life of another pooch with blood donation
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/...
Corky, an 18-year old Staffordshire Terrier, was rushed to an animal hospital because she was hemorrhaging, and was in desperate need of surgery. Doctors needed to do a blood transfusion before performing any kind of procedure. That is where Blondie, a 3-year-old yellow Labrador, came in to save the day, NJ.com reports.
Blondie was selected to be the blood donor for Corky and the young pup gave 250 milliliters of blood to the much older patient, helping save her life.

HUMANS
"I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the
better for it." ~Abraham Lincoln
"If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?" ~Attributed to George Bernard Shaw

Giving Dogs Their Freedom, One Fence At a Time
http://www.tonic.com/...
Mikael Hardy was horrified to see how many people near her home in South Carolina kept their dogs chained up, outside, every hour of every day. So she got up off the couch, knocked on their doors and did something about it.

AND, the most well know human helper of animals, FIREMEN:
Here is just one example of firemen helping animals.
UK Firefighters rescue about 10 animals each month
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/...
You'd think that sprinting into blazing houses and saving people from collapsing buildings would be enough the fill the day for the firefighters in Somerset, England. But the heroes of the Somerset Fire Rescue Service have also recently averaged about 10 animal rescues each month!
Between April 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010, the firefighters saved about 93 cows, horses, birds, cats and dogs from a variety of dangerous situations, the Somerset County Gazette reports.

"Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight. And after I've finished "shooting," my unharmed victims are still around for others to enjoy. I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans." ~Jimmy Stewart
