Sadie and Lily are well known to their Twitter Anipals for their nightly Rawhide War skirmishes. It will come as no surprise to our readers that Sadie is the Queen of Rawhide Wars. She is, after all, an Internet Diva and a scrappy survivor. She stalks Lily’s every move with whatever chewy, toy, or rawhide is in play. Lily often initiates the wars by looking at her object and whining uncontrollably until the people give in to her dog noise. When we do, we fully understand we have broken quite a few dog behavior tips and set events in motion that will end with Sadie chewing, ignoring Lily’s barks and whines, and a couple of exassperated but mildly amused people, buoyed by the spirits of their twitter friends who share solidarity with us over this evening ritual. Sadie and Lily’s Rawhide Wars could just as easily be Cookie Conflicts, Peanut Butter Bullies, Stuffed Toy Tyrannies, or Tug of War Tirades.
Sunday, April 6, beginning at 8 PM EST, Sadie and Lily will sponsor Rawhide Wars Part 2 on behalf of the Twitter Anipals #Pawpawty organized to raise funds for @Romeothecat’s worthwhile animal charities. You can sign up for the #pawpawty here, we are celebrating @brewskiebutt’s birthday. You can read all about it at Frugal Dougal Dog’s blog here. Sadie and Lily are fortunate that they have been able to make adjustments to cope with recessionary times. Others are not so fortunate, and many families have been devastated as pets and people are separated due to economic distress. You can help by contributing here and raising awareness about this and so many other hardships that folks are coping with every day.
The rules of Rawhide Wars are explained here. The winners will be showcased with their own profile on our blog. Here are the profiles of Bruno the Dog and Fergus the Dog, winners of the St. Patrick’s Day Rawhide Wars.
