Magoo’s Movie Review

Hey folks! Mr. Magoo here with a great movie recommendation for y’all to check out. It’s a fantastic movie called “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” that all animal lovers are sure to adore! Hachi is an Akita puppy who is found abandoned at a train station. A college professor played by Richard Gere finds Hachi there and ends up adopting him and giving him a good home. Now, I’ll tell you right now—Hachi is an adorable puppy, but he can’t compete with me or any other Lhasa Apso.

Anyways, the college professor takes him home and welcomes him in to the family. After that, every time he tries to leave to go to the train station for work, Hachi follows him there! The dog goes with him to the train station, leaves when his human gets on the train, and then comes back again when he hears the train coming back later in the evening. That’s a loyal dog for ya! Hachi continues to wait for his human everyday in the same spot by the train station for the rest of his life. The whole town knows about him and expects to see him pass by on his way to pick up his human from work. But this is the real kicker… Hachi is a true story!!

The real dog was named Hachiko and was born in 1923 in Japan. Hachiko affected his neighbors so strongly that after he died, they put a bronze statue of the Akita at the train station in Tokyo, Japan where Hachiko would always wait for his human. I’m not going to ruin the ending for you; you’ll have to see it for yourself to see what happens in the end with Hachi and his family! I watched it with Mom and my sisters. I tried to hide it from them, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: us dogs can cry at good movies just like humans. But don’t tell anyone I said so! This is a great movie to share with the whole family, dogs and humans alike!

Let us know what ya think of it! Woof!

Mr. Magoo's Summer Rules

Woof! It's that time of year again. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the days are longer and you know what that means - lots of walks with my sisters and human. But you must be very, very careful, because it can get HOT out there for us dogs. Mom always makes sure my sisters and I aren't panting our heads off in the bad heat. Buffy being the oldest (but not the boss) is very sensitive to the heat because of her cancer and Cushing's disease. So, as soon as the temp outside reaches 80+ degrees, on goes the A/C for the poor girl. Us Lhasa's, Carla Mae and I sometimes scoot a little closer to one the vents to catch some cool breeze. It makes us howl like crazy when the cool air blows our fur straight back!

But there are some dogs out there that aren't so lucky to have a mom like we do. Do you know that some humans actually leave their dogs in the hot car! Woof, Woof, that's a no, no! What's wrong with these stupid clowns?


So, to survive the summer heat, have your human follow Mr. Magoo's Summer Rules:


1. There ain't nothing better than being outside on a beautiful summer's day. But please provide some shade somewhere for your dog to escape, to snooze for awhile.




2. Don't forget that we get thirsty just like you do on a hot day, so how about placing some bowls of water around the yard so your dogs can hydrate themselves.




3. Please walk us either early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid us burning our paws. Ouch!




That's it folks. Until next time. Remember to stay cool cause it's gonna be a scorcher of a summer!
