The Dating Game – Bachelor #1

Posted on June 30, 2012 by heyitsjethere

Hey It’s Jet Here.

When Mom was young, she watched The Dating Game with her babysitters. The premise:

A bachelor or bachelorette sat sequestered (vocab builder) behind a wall with three bachelorettes or bachelors sitting behind another wall. The bachelor/bachelorette asked questions and the Host facilitated the answers. At the end, the bachelor/bachelorette selected one of the contestants and they went on a swanky date, paid for by the show. Many of the questions involved double entendres, jokes, funny voices and such.

Ever since JJ had her surgery last month, she’s become quite the cougar! So, Mom and I decided to create our own dating game and see who you would select. Today we start with Bachelor #1 – Austin W.

Austin W. – Man of Mystery

JJ has not met him, Mom has.
Slightly younger, probably 5 to JJ’s 6 ish.
Lives the life of a comfortable suburban K9.
Loves to catch Frisbees.
Loves playing in the backyard.
Does not enjoy social engagements with fellow K9s, loves attention from humans.
Only K9, shares family with outdoor feline. Previously shared house with two other female K9s.
Wears a Georgetown collar.
Likes treats, not that fond of his kibble.
Likes belly rubs.

Stay tuned for Bachelor #2, Simba.

Another great, match made in heaven, day.

P.S. Speaking of Bachelors, when JJ visited Dr. Shaffer’s this week, Judy asked Mom if she had any good ideas for Champ. Champ, an American bulldog mix, has camped out at the Paradise Animal Center B & B for over 5 months. We don’t know the whole sad story yet, however, he’s one step from going to Animal Services and you know what that could mean. Here’s his picture, let us know if you have any ideas… we will see if our area has a bulldog rescue.

Sounds like my sister – she loves all the boys in the neighborhood – is one love sick girl! I had a post about the loves of Katie a while back. Emma

Firstly, what a very clever idea. Looking forward to meeting the other bachelors and making our decision.

Secondly, how very sad for Champ. This is the hardest part of animal rescue. Really heartbreaking. We’ll be holding paws and praying for a good outcome.

  Hey Twiggy, Hey Onyx, Jet here.
  
  Guess what? We saw your blogpaws pic and write up, so now we have a better idea of what your human looks like! 🙂
  
  We thought about that, however, Champ is a little rusty in the social department.

First so sad to learn of Champ. If he was out here, our private shelter might be able to find him a foster home. We do relative well helping out pit bull looking dogs. As for the Dating Game…oh my cat! Mom just about fell outta her chair again when she saw that one! way less drame than the new fangled reality TV show! Anyways, there have to be some other dogs out there for JJ so we will wait to see who else you came up with…..tapping toe with very long claw up and down, waiting…..

  Savvy, patience, patience, we will roll out the remaining bachelors, you’re so funny tapping your claw… bet you’re intuition works really fast, huh?

Hey Jetty, really sad about Champ. I’m suggesting mom check with Miss Deanna at http://loveofmydogs.com/, she is in Miami/Dade and might know of someone who can help.

  Hey Sampson, Hey Delilah, Jet here. Hi Miss Jodi.
  
  You smarty human! Mom did just that already… we have 2 ideas to pursue tomorrow that we thought of while we wait for her answer. Our Miami Dade Animal Services was in the news today… they are going to vote on whether to build a new, no-kill shelter… crossing paws as I was 4 days from that “K” word before Golden Rescue South Florida sprung me!

Awww look at Champ’s sweet little face!!!! UGH we hope he finds a place to go before he goes to MDAS! Have you posted him on Urgent Dogs of Miami’s facebook page? Also, Mookieandbrandy Rescue on Facebook– they will re-post him and try to find him a local rescue or adopter before he ends up at the shelter. Good luck!
