So some two-legged folks are all in a tizzy over some
billboard ads that have now been taken down. From what I can gather as I scrounge under the picnic tables
in a hunt for food, the Israelis launched an ad campaign targeted at Israelis
living in America to convince them to move back home. And this seems to have pissed off some tall Jewish
Americans.
Were their feelings hurt that the Israelis didn’t want them?
That I could understand. When I
was in the shelter, there would be all of these nice looking families that
would come and walk right by my cage to go and ooh and aah over the wriggly
puppies. Fine. Just because I was
almost five doesn’t mean I’m not cute and adorable. I guess my old home wasn’t as attached to me as the Israelis
seem to be about their former citizens because I was just abandoned…no signs,
no ad campaign, nothing.
So maybe the American Jews were hurt that the Israelis didn’t
take them home from the shelter. Or maybe they felt slighted that the Israelis were saying
their home wasn’t as good as the homes in Israel. Really? Are we all in kindergarten? It reeks of “my dad can
beat up your dad” mentality. But the
American Jews have a forever home already, so I’m not really clear on what the
problem was. The Israelis that
seem to have gotten lost were the ones that the ads were for. Kind of like those “Lost Puppy. Large reward if found” posters that
always make my mom cry. I would
think that they would be thrilled to know that their parents were searching for
them all the way across the world.
That’s a far way to wander away from home. No wonder the Israelis needed large billboards!
So I’m not sure what the big deal was. If I got lost, I would hope my mom
would put up billboards to look for me, and I wouldn’t care if the other
puppies were mad that she didn’t want them. She’s my mom and it’s my home.
Everybody deserves a forever home, and if you wander too far
away, sometimes you need a big reminder which direction to travel.
