Baby pugs always look so long and skinny. He's a cutie SG. I'm happy for you.

My sister might get a new dog around the 22nd of this month. A two year old boy from the Airedale Rescue group. He flies in on Tuesday, and will be checked out by the Rescue folks to determine if he's adoptable. I so hope it works out.

oh, my very first dog was an airedale. i have no idea why i actually got this dog! i had wanted one since reading about 'spot' in our first grade readers. he was adorable, but only liked women. he bit the mayor of los gatos, who lived across the street, on the ass, so we had to get rid of him. and we got rid of the dog, too. LOL
we took "zip" to our cousins in northern california where he chewed down a telephone pole and my uncle had to pay for repairs. my uncle took the dog up to a forest fire service remote location. all the guys loved the dog. he was 25 miles from my uncle's house. my uncle stayed a couple of hours to have dinner with his fire-fighting buddies. when he got home, the dog was waiting in his yard!
i can't even remember all the "further adventures of zip", but he was a pistol, that's for sure!

Her first dog was an Airedale too; she rescued her from the Pound. The dog had been badly abused and chained for most of it's early years and was a mean little mess and hated men at first. Sis trained and loved it back to normalacy and she ended up being a great dog. Except true to terrier breeds, she was a digger and tore up every yard she was in. I often took care of her when sis was out of town and my yard has never recovered in some places, lol. Honestly, she'd dig 4 foot holes in a matter of 5 minutes. I told her that if this one ends up digging, I was going to put booties on him before I let him out. Keeping my fingers crossed that this adoption will go through.

Look in Jinksy's folder for some very cute pics of Simon Cowell and a baby pug. Simon fell in LOVE. There is also a link to a quicktime movie, posted by Bonzacat, where you can see the whole Simon clip.

DH got a quick picture in between wrestling matches. You can see my couches have denim slipcovers and I made washable covers for all my pillows.

SG, I just want to smooch those puppies. Too cute. In fact, I'm in Lynnwood...I'll be there in a couple of hours...LOL! I need to figure out how to shrink my pictures, so I can put my handsome boy here.

Joely, Cash is adorable. I love his expressive eyes. I am a big sucker for sweet puppy faces.

They had a Euthanasia alert out for one of the shelters here in Washington and I was so pleased to hear they had 200 adoptions for cats and dogs last week. I was one happy girl.

Just passing this along......I know stories get blown out of proportion and can be pretty much unjustified.......but I received this in an email today, and wanted to pass it along just in case.

Yesterday one of our dog agility friends experienced a tragedy and wanted me to pass a special message along to all of my dog loving friends and family.

Please tell dog owner you know.

Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was
advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso, decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way.
The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the
label, upon further investigation on the company's
website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs.
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that "It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it."

True information about the mulch can be found here -
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoa.htm This site ves the following information:



Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called "Theobromine".
It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like
chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will
ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already
occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of
caution ? check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens.
Theobromine is the ingredient that is used to make all chocolate ? especially dark or baker's chocolate? which is toxic to dogs.
Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic
quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

Buford

I'm so sorry for your loss, Serate. Seventeen years is a long life for a big dog even though it must not seem nearly long enough. Buford looks so gentle, happy, and peaceful in his pictures. It's clear how loving he was and how much he was loved in return.

Oh, no, Serate. Yes, it is clear he was both loved and loving. I am so sorry, Sweetie.
