KATIE S KORNER Bald Dog Who Was Scared Of Everything Gets A Brother Who's Just Like Him When a little half-bald dog lost his home, he found a new one through social media and ended up with a new big brother who's bald, too. Dumpling's former owner found him on Craigslist, but she only kept him for three months because he didn't get along with her children. She gave him up to Tender Loving Crested Rescue in Texas, where staffers were more than happy to take the sweet little guy in. Dumpling is half Chinese Crested and half Chihuahua, which is why he is bald and patchy. He is unique looking, but still adorable, and the rescue hoped that someone would eventually notice him. They began posting about Dumpling on Instagram (his named used to be Remus), which is how his new mom first saw him. Fabio is another bald dog who has a huge following on Instagram. When Tender Loving Crested Rescue started posting about Dumpling, many people immediately noticed how similar the two dogs looked. "Fabio is half bald as well, and people started tagging us in posts of Dumpling," Leigh Vazquez, Fabio and Dumpling's mom, told The Dodo. "People were amazed how much they both looked alike. So I reached out to the rescue and got some information on him." Vazquez was smitten with Dumpling's photos, but she had only just adopted Fabio, and was worried about taking on another dog so soon. So she waited and waited until finally, she decided it was just meant to be. "I couldn't watch him get passed over time and time again and made the decision that he just had to be ours," Vazquez said. When Dumpling first arrived in his new home, he was incredibly shy and skittish. But with his new brother Fabio by his side, Dumpling is slowly learning to be more confident. "They have been getting very close," Vazquez said. "Fabio no longer sleeps with me; he sleeps on Dumpling's side of the bed curled up against him. Fabio wants to do everything that Dumpling does. - As seen on thedodo.com

OUR COMMUNITY The Importance of Being a Good Neighbor You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your neighbors. If you are lucky, you have good neighbors. But sometimes your neighbor might not be as pleasant or considerate as you wished. If you have good neighbors, consider yourself blessed. Neighbors can play an important role in our community and our lives, and remember, you are a neighbor too. Here at Village Green the neighbor is probably someone in the next apartment or someone who lives above or below you. Maybe it s someone you park next to or the fellow resident in the laundry room with you. But what's a good neighbor? A good neighbor is friendly and considerate. Though good neighbors may live close, they respect your space and privacy. Good neighbors still take a moment to say hello. Consider the possibility you may be the only person this resident sees all day. It s a way of connecting, if only for a short moment, with those people we pass in our daily lives. Our communities flourish and thrive when we re kind to each other. Be kind to everyone, always. It might not make the world go around, but it certainly makes it a lot more pleasant & comfortable to live in. The Golden Rule or Law of Reciprocity is the principle of treating others as one would wish to be treated oneself. Ask yourself, "Am I a good neighbor?" Remember you get what you give. Let s all try to be a good neighbor. As your fellow neighbors, We Thank You.
