Hello GORGEOUS Frieda 🩷

🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION, HUMANS!!! 🚨🚨🚨

SHADOW HERE. 🐾

I HAVE ENTERED THE AUCTION BUSINESS.

I don’t know what a stock exchange is.
I don’t own Bitcoin.
I have no idea what the JSE does.

BUT I KNOW A PUFFY XL DOG BED WHEN I SEE ONE.

And THIS ONE comes with enough MuttMix loot to make me seriously question why I am not allowed to bid myself.

🐾 New Beginnings HAS AN EMERGENCY AUCTION! 🐾

And Mom said MuttMix and I could join forces with them.

So naturally…

I TOOK OVER.

BID OVER R1000 AND LOOK WHAT I HAVE PERSONALLY APPROVED:

1x MuttMix pen
1x Glitter paw-print keyring
1x Safety light for your furchild
1x SQUEAKY BALL!!!
1x Beeno doggy treats
💌 A PERSONAL LETTER FROM ME — yes, I type. No, you may not inspect my keyboard.
1x Paw-print ink pad + TWO cards to capture that precious paw forever

BUT WAIT.

I HAVE BEEN AUTHORISED TO SPEND MOM'S MONEY.

😈😈😈

The winning bidder will ALSO receive:

R350 OFF ANY MUTTMIX TEST when spending at least R1000 on the Bid!

AND…

💚 MuttMix will donate R350 to New Beginnings.

So basically:

YOU BID.
YOUR DOG GETS SPOILED.
YOU GET MUTTMIX GOODIES.
NEW BEGINNINGS GETS R350.
RESCUE ANIMALS GET HELP.

I GET TO TAKE CREDIT.

Everybody wins 🐾

And did I mention THE BED?!
It is XL.
It is PUFFY.
It looks RIDICULOUSLY comfortable.

Frankly, I have already raised a formal complaint that it is in Bloemfontein and not currently underneath my bottom.

🚨 AUCTION CLOSES 5 SEPTEMBER AT 12:00!

So CLICK ON THE ORIGINAL POST.
And START BIDDING LIKE YOU HAVE JUST DISCOVERED YOUR DOG HAS ACCESS TO YOUR CREDIT CARD🔥

This isn't just about winning a bed and a pile of goodies.

Every bid helps New Beginnings keep doing what rescue people do every single day:

Saving the ones who need someone to choose them. 🩵

And THAT, my friends, is worth making some serious noise about.

So come on…

WHO'S OPENING WITH A BID?!

I’ll be watching the bids.

Very severely.
From my bed.

🌸 HAPPY SPRING DAY FROM A VERY PATIENT GENTLEMAN 🌸

This afternoon started beautifully.

There I was, lying peacefully on the grass, enjoying the first day of Spring like the refined, distinguished gentleman I am.

The sun was shining. The grass was soft. The birds were birding.

Life was good.
Then Mom found a rose.
And looked at me.

(RED FLAG🚩)
“Shadow, this will look SO beautiful!”

Friends.
I have lived with this woman long enough to know that sentence means my afternoon is about to be ruined.

First she put the rose on my back.
I humoured her.

Then she put it next to my paw.
Still humoured her.

Then she put it between my front paws.

Mother.

How many different geographical locations on my body does this rose need to visit?

IT IS A FLOWER.

I AM A DOG.

You have successfully documented both.
At this point, I began lodging a formal protest.

My face said:
“The photos can really stop now.”

Apparently Mom interpreted this as:
“Perhaps the model requires additional props.”

And then…She brought out Pinky Squeaky Ball.

Oh.
OH!
Well, this changes things.
Not the photoshoot.The photoshoot is still cancelled.

But now I am once again a refined gentleman, laying upon his lawn on the first glorious day of Spring…

🐾 a freshly picked rosbe and my beloved Pinky between my paws
🐾 the grass beneath my belly
🐾 Spring sunshine upon my fur

THIS is culture.
THIS is sophistication.
THIS is how a gentleman welcomes Spring.

Rose + Ball = satisfied Shadow

Mom with camera still clicking = 😑

So Happy Spring Day, everypawdy! 🌸🐾

May your flowers bloom, your grass be soft, your squeaky balls remain close…
…and may the humans in your life learn to recognise when THE PHOTOSHOOT IS OVER.

Mom.
I'm talking to you.

Put.
The camera.
Down.

Love,
Shadow

🐾 BREAKING NEWS: MOM HAS BEEN LYING TO THE PUBLIC. 🐾

Mom is forever telling people:
💙 “Shadow is my blue-eyed baby.” 💙

Apparently, in human language, a “blue-eyed baby” is the favourite.
The golden child.
The one who can do no wrong.
The precious angel who is spoiled beyond all reasonable limits.

There is just one small problem.

MY EYES ARE BROWN.

So Mom asked AI to make them blue.

📸 Exhibit A: Factory settings.
📸 Exhibit B: Mom’s version of reality.

And I would like to formally state that Exhibit B is actually a far more accurate representation of my current lifestyle.

Because just THIS WEEK, your Honour, I have consumed:

🐾 Raw steak
🐾 Marrow — or, as we call it in this establishment, OYSTERS
🐾 Raw salmon
🐾 Fresh salmon skin
🐾 Duck treats
🐾 Gut-health treats, because apparently fine dining must also involve intestinal responsibility

And accommodation?
Excellent, thank you for asking.
I recently selected the spare room as MY bedroom.

Mom noticed I liked sleeping there and immediately relocated one of my spare beds into it.

Yes.

One of my SPARE beds.

I have multiple properties.

🩵 Lounge residence
🩵 Bedroom residence
🩵 Various soft-furnishing investments

Unfortunately, there is currently a dispute with another tenant.

Dad.

Every weekday morning, Dad enters MY BEDROOM, switches on MY LIGHT, and starts changing his clothes while I am trying to sleep.

Apparently he uses my bedroom as a changing room because Mom’s eyes need time to adjust to the light in their bedroom.

Sir.
That sounds very much like a "you-people" problem.

I did not survive the streets to eventually own multiple beds, eat salmon and oysters, and STILL be expected to tolerate a half-naked man switching on my bedroom light at an ungodly hour.

I have rights.

Anyway.

Mom says I am her blue-eyed baby.

Scientifically inaccurate? Yes.

Financially accurate?
Extremely.

And perhaps this is exactly why humans should do a MuttMix DNA test.
Because you THINK you know your dog…
Then one day you discover you have been financially supporting a 44% Siberian Husky with the lifestyle expectations of a retired billionaire.

Want to find out exactly what breeds are hiding behind YOUR dog's innocent little eyes?

www.muttmix.co.za

Because knowing their breed mix might explain a few things…
Their quirks.
Their instincts.
Their behaviour.

It will NOT, however, explain how they somehow became the most spoiled member of the household.

That part is entirely your fault.

Love,
Shadow 💙
Mom’s genetically brown-eyed, spiritually blue-eyed, salmon-fed, oyster-eating, multi-property-owning baby.

P.S. Dad, tomorrow morning please use the bathroom.

I AM SLEEPING.

Happy Tail-ers, a plea for your help for Happy Tails website please... I have so many lovely Happy Tales and other animal welfare articles scheduled for publishing in September and I need ads to carry them.

Help me by sharing this post.

And if you are able to advertise, sponsor an ad, or even donate (every little bit counts), it would be greatly appreciated.

🐾 ANIMAL WELFARE NEEDS STORYTELLERS. AND THE STORYTELLERS NEED SUPPORT TOO. 🐾

Somewhere in South Africa tonight, a dog will fall asleep behind kennel bars.
Not because nobody could love him.
Not because he's broken.
But because the person who would love him doesn't know he exists yet.
You can rescue a dog. Feed them. Treat their wounds. Sterilise them. Teach them that hands can be gentle and beds can be soft.
But eventually, you need someone to SEE them. Their past and their present.

And that's something Happy Tails has quietly been doing for years. ❤️

I recently went digging through their website (www.happytailsmagazine.co.za) and realised that calling Happy Tails a pet magazine doesn't come close.

There are more than 880 Happy Tales on their website.
880+ animals whose stories mattered enough for someone to say:
"You deserve to be seen."
There are rescue transformations, adoption stories, animal-welfare organisations, veterinary and behavioural advice, responsible pet ownership education and beautiful Look at me NOW! stories showing what happens when somebody gives a rescue animal a chance.

I found the story of Dash, abandoned and badly injured before finding safety.
I found the story of Zorro, who survived a devastating fire.
I found Pets as Therapy, where animals are the ones helping humans.
I found people climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money to bring veterinary care to communities.
And yes… I found my formerly homeless street dog named Shadow who somehow acquired his own little corner of Happy Tails through MuttMix.
We don't discuss what this has done to his ego. 🤣

But here's why I'm writing this.
Happy Tails needs advertisers.
And I'm asking South African businesses to consider something.
You don't have to sell dog food to advertise to dog people.
Pet lovers buy cars. Houses. Insurance. Holidays. Furniture. Security systems. Outdoor gear. Phones. Financial services.
And couches.
Mostly couches we purchase for ourselves before inexplicably surrendering 93% of them to the dog.
Pet people are consumers.

Happy Tails' current advertising information reports around 18,000 unique website visitors per month.
So this isn't charity.
It's advertising.
Your business gets exposure to a defined, animal-loving South African audience.
But your advertising spend also helps keep something incredibly important alive:
the platform telling these stories.

Websites cost money. Publishing costs money. Creating free exposure for welfare organisations isn't actually free.
So before you decide where your next advertising rand goes, go and read Happy Tails.
Meet the animals.
Read their stories.
Then look at the advertising opportunities.
Because your advert can sell something.
But in the right place, it can help save something too. ❤️🐾

And somewhere behind kennel bars, another happy tail may simply be waiting for someone to make sure their story gets told.

South African businesses — perhaps it's time to put your brand beside the happy endings. 🐾🩵💚🩵
