Petsmart Birthday Party '09

PARTY!!!

Mollie and her goody bag


-------------------------


On April 21 2009 Petsmart held it's annual birthday party. They take pictures, give goody bags, and play games. The goody bags were filled with ziggys(Mollie's Favorite), dog food samples, and a puzzle. After taking pictures and digging into the goody bag my mother and Mollie participated in the musical chairs. When the music starts you and your dog walk around until the music stops. The last pup to sit is eliminated from the game. Mollie placed second in "small dogs" group and third in "all dogs" group. The winner for the "small dogs" group was a 7 week old toy poodle puppy. We had a wonderful time and after all the fun and games were over we went shopping. We ended up buying name plates for both Mollie and Bobo's crates, a collapsible dog bowl for our doggie bag, a dog luggage tag for the dogs suitcase, and a blue stroller for Bobo when we go to the local flea markets.

Obama Family Dog

The Obama's have finally gotten a dog. The new dog is a 6 month old purebred Portuguese Water Dog named Bo. Bo was born and bred at a kennel in near Dallas TX, and was one of ten puppies in the litter. He was originally sold to a family in Washington DC, but was returned because the arrangements didn't work out as planned. Sen. Ted Kennedy was the person who arranged for the Obama family to get Bo. Coinsidently Bo's leneage is linked to Sen. Kennedy's own Portuguese Water Dogs.

Many americans are upset to hear that Obama family dog didn't come from a breed specific rescue or shelter. The Obama family is making a donation to District of Columbia Humane Society.

Easter Photo Shoot

The Humane Society of Marshall County in KY held an easter photo shoot for pet owners. The staff had a cute setup and took some wonderful photos. They put our photos onto a cd to take home. There was a small fee of $5 and it was well worth the money for such wonderful photos. This Humane Society does many photo shoots and different events every year. To view upcomming events visit their website.. Also to view past shoots visit their album.

Country life: Dropping off your animals

Living in the country has it ups and downs....One of the downs is how people feel that its ok to dump cats, kittens, dogs and puppies off and "hope" they find a good life with one of the locals. These stray animals are forced to run from house to house trying to get their next meal. They are also a bother to the current animal residents and sometimes pick fights over food, mates, or space.

At a shelter the animal doesn't have to fight for space or food and has a chance of getting adopted or pulled by a rescue.


If you have an animal who you can no longer keep please either try and place it with a new family or take it to a shelter/rescue who has the resources to house, feed, and rehome the animal.
