BIG Weekend!!

This past Saturday was the 6th Annual Celebration Pet Day Dog Show. All the proceeds went to benefit the Shelbyville-Bedford County Humane Association. Since my brother, Jack, got to go last year, Moms said that it was my turn this year. I was sooo excited. I was a little worried about the car ride, but it turned out fine!! YAY!! I usually don't do real well in the car, but I was all fine Saturday. When we got there, I got to meet all kinds of neat dogs!! There was a dog there that was nearly as big as a horse! Moms said he was a Great Dane!!

Everything was so exciting there!! So many new furiends! The kitchen lady even treated me with a hotdog!! In the afternoon, Moms entered me in the Rescue Dog class. That's a class especially for dogs that have pawrents that rescued them! Believe it or not, I won 2nd place in the class! As soon as Moms gets my picture with my ribbon, she'll post it up for me. Moms was so proud of me!! We even practiced my obedience in the crowds, and I was able to listen and do a good job for Moms! Here is some videos of the dog show and some of my new furiends that Moms took.









Since I was SUCH a good boy at the dog show, Moms took me on a 2 mile walkie on Sunday!! This weekend was just full of treats!!

Saturday Hoppin' for a Cause!!

From Life With Dogs:

Actually, you can help a lot of dogs. How often have you had a chance to have a 20 pound bag of dog food donated to a shelter simply for writing a blog post? It’s really that easy. Pedigree has upped the ante big time. And please spread this message: The food drive is not limited to pet blogs. Imagine if we could spread this message beyond our circles and see how far it goes? The numbers could be substantial. Here is the full scoop:

Each year, more than 4 million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations. Pedigree created The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.
This year the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive is raising awareness for homeless dogs by donating a bowl of food to shelter dogs for everyone who becomes a “Fan” or “Likes” The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive on Facebook. So far more than 1 million bowls have been donated.

Special for BlogPaws West: For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive through September 19th, PEDIGREE® will donate a bag of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. It’s simple: Write a post, help a dog.

Photobucket


Thursday, September 16 through Sunday, September 19, the Pedigree BlogPaws bloggers will host a Blog Hop, to help raise awareness for the “Write a post, help a dog” effort.

It is so easy to make a big difference. Please set aside a few moments to write a post. Include the bullet points above. Copy the pics if you’d like. Add whatever you’d like in addition to help get the message out. Because this is not limited to pet bloggers, there is tremendous potential. Know bloggers in other categories that might be interested? Please share this post with them, write one of your own, and be here Thursday to leave a link to your post. Let’s make this huge. It would just feel great.

A Quick Haroo!

We're just popping in to tell all of furiends "harooo"! Moms has been really busy the last couple of weeks. She works on a college campus, and she is in charge of the dog paddling club there. So, she's been working late and really busy. She's also been REALLY grumpy, when we ask her to type something for us. Hopefully, she'll get some rest this weekend. We are so furry sorry that we haven't gotten to visit and comment to all of you! We hope to be back to normal in the next couple of days. Please don't furget us!!

Be Prepared!

With all of the hurricanes coming ashore this season, Moms wanted us to post something from her. She wrote this, back when Katrina hit in 2005 on her blog. The info is still FURRY useful today. Something to think about.

It's really more than just a boy scout motto, you know. We weathered Katrina pretty well in Shelbyville. Thankfully, Katrina wasn't all she was cracked up to be, by the time she got to my house. I'm very thankful for that. All of this has really made me aware that I need some kind of disaster plan for my pets. It really hit home last night, when Casey and I were trying to figure out what to do with the little outside dog next door. We were trying to find a place to put him, where he would be safe from the elements and flying debris. Luckily it didn't get that bad, but it did make me more than uncomfortably aware that I need to formulate a plan. What would happen if something happened to my house while I was at work? Who would get my dogs, cats, and reptiles out? Where would they go, until I could get to them? Where would I go afterwards? Who would catch them if a tree fell into the house, and they were running loose in the neighborhood? The American Humane Association has an online tutorial to help you formulate your own disaster preparedness program. For more information and to design your own plan, click HERE. You can order a "Be Prepared" kit and check card, along with a wallet pet emergency card by clicking HERE.

Also if you love animals, and would like to help shelter or rescue during disasters, you can receive training and be a part of The American Humane Red Star Emergency Services. They are holding volunteer training sessions across the U.S. right now. Click HERE to find information on a training session near you, or to find out when the next one is scheduled.


I was lucky this time. There are many who were not so lucky. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has been affected by Katrina. Next time, I will be better prepared. Everyone have a safe and happy day!
