ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!!

A kitty friend of mine, Shugie, who was adopted by the Society a few years ago, e-mailed me to say that her parents, Janice & Victor, will be married 60 years on May 28th! Wow! In dog-years that’s like…..well, I’m not great at math but that’s a looooong time!! They live all the way down in Memphis, Tennessee, otherwise I would go to their party. I hope they’ll mail me a piece of cake! Please join me in a shout-out to a couple that’s still going strong – CONGRATULATIONS, YA’LL!!!

My Number One Fan!!!

Willis with his Number One Fan!!

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the President…of my fan club in Israel! I bet you didn’t know that I’m beloved all around the world, did you? Well neither did I until Einav, the President, made a special trip to New York just to see me at the Humane Society of New York!! She and her brother, Tomer are so much fun to play with, and they’re teaching all of their friends to say Willis in Hebrew!!! How cool is that? I’m looking forward to seeing them again on their next trip. So until then, to the land of milk, honey, Einav and Tomer, a great big shout out with lots of love from me to you!!! Shalom!

ERIN GO WILLIS!!!

What an exciting day I had!! I just got back from marching in the big St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Fifth Avenue! As I am from Irish descent (at least I am today when everyone’s Irish!), it was so much fun to meet so many friendly fellow Irishmen. From the bagpipers of County Clare, the marching bands (I always wanted to play the tuba but I never grew tall enough…) to New York’s finest, I want to thank everyone for welcoming me.

Getting ready!!

My very good, close, personal, Friends :-)

New York's Finest with New York's Cutest!!!

I LOVE a good Marching Band, don't you??!!?!!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

NEWS!!

Those of you who follow my Post know that I like to share thoughts about being socially responsible. Please read on…

The Humane Society of New York would like to commend Whole Foods Market for the well-crafted design of the new animal welfare labeling system. When given the choice, many consumers prefer humanely raised meat, but they are rarely provided with accurate or sufficient labeling. By implementing a tiered system, Whole Foods Market has supplied consumers with valuable information about the products they buy and simultaneously created an incentive for meat producers to improve the conditions of their farms. We are hopeful other supermarkets will be moved to adopt your standards, and we would like to thank Whole Foods Market for helping consumers make informed decisions about animal welfare when purchasing their food.

EXHAUSTED!!! ;-)

If a tired dog is a good dog, I’m Best in Show!

I know I should be answering my fan mail…

If I don’t get my 14 hours of sleep, I just can’t focus!

Watching the Winter Olympics just wears me out

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

My friend + I are exhausted from making our wish list! Please help if you can :)
