Welcome to the wilds of the Australian outback… wait, scratch that… Long Island, New York. A land where “un-adoptable” “liabilities” roam free while $2,000 purebreds are tethered to ‘Webers’ while Mommy “works from home,” and Daddy works where he lives… in Mommy’s dreams. A land where the grass is manicured weekly but nobody picks up their dog poop… where sideWALKS are for skateboards and scooters, and the occasional homeless dude… and, most importantly, a land where EVERYBODY has an opinion… ESPECIALLY the H.O.A.
The Home Owner’s Association… a board of bored humans whose sole purpose is to make new, unnecessary, unwanted rules and regulations about how to do literally ANYTHING… or how NOT to do it. The “fun police,” whistle-blowers whose sole purpose in life is to ruin yours. The Karens of the townhome community.
Elektra lies hiding in wait, not only because she’s stalking her next “mid-day snack,” but because Shih Tzus are the Karens of the canine community, and NOBODY likes a Karen.
In one corner, the Shih Tzu, AKA the “Royal Lapdog.”
Originating from the palaces of ancient China, the Shih Tzu was bred to be a companion to emperors, lounging on silk cushions and being pampered by servants. Fast forward to today, and not much has changed—except now they’re dressed in tutus and pushed around in baby strollers by doting owners who believe their fur-babies are actually their own birth children.
In the other corner, the Australian Cattle Dog: ‘The Outback’s Workhorse’
In contrast, the Australian Cattle Dog was bred for hard labor in the unforgiving Australian Outback. These dogs herd cattle across vast distances, nipping at heels and dodging kicks with agility and intelligence. They’re the blue-collar workers of the canine world, thriving on challenges and scoffing at the idea of a day off.
Elektra, however, wasn’t always the disciplined, grass-blending ninja she is today. She was labeled “un-adoptable” due to being misunderstood, but with dedication, training, and a mutual disdain for Karens, she transformed into a naturist, a service dog, and a local legend.
Her journey is chronicled in our book, “So You THINK You Want A Dog…” a satirical guide that combines humor with practical advice. It’s a must-read for anyone considering dog ownership, who already has a dog, or for anyone who wants to convince someone ELSE to get a dog… “Please, Mom!!!”
