From Rubber Waders To Cute Puppies

I thought this was really cute.
I might have to make one or two.

HAPPY, Is that a HALO?

Is that a Halo?  .......I think it is!

Grandchildren & Gordon Setters At The Same Time!

Having grandchildren and puppies at the same time is wonderful! 

The grandchildren learn how to hold and care for a puppy. 

And the puppies get lots of hugs, kisses, love, and socialization that is important for a puppy. 

Thank you Maddie, Maryanne, Megan and Christopher for helping with the puppies!

JJ greets Maddie with a gentle kiss.

Maryanne, Maddie, and Megan

A girl for every puppy!

Big Smiles From Both!

 

♥Don't forget to hug you dog! .............and

especially your grandchildren!♥   (:

James, Gordon Setter, first four months

If you have ever wondered why I don't post video of puppies, it's because the camera I presently have, is not compatible with the Mac I currently have. It sucks, but it's a necessary evil for now. So, I thought I'd take a look a what You Tube had, in the way of Gordon Setters. There's a lot more than I expected. Gordon's aren't exactly plentiful in the United States. This is a film clip of a little Gordon named, James.  Cute, right?! He's a beautiful puppy and you'll have a chance to see him grow from birth to about 4 months, in 3 minutes and 33 seconds. I think you'll enjoy it!

Dog Gone Cute Doggie Prayers

I may be crazy, 

but I swear I heard the dog ask for a bone!

What a Dog Teaches a Boy

and to turn around three times before lying down."

I Rescued A Human Today - A Dogs Tale

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY
 
 Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.  I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.  I wagged my tail, but not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
 
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.  I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.  Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly
of them.
 
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past.  I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
 
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.  I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.  Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
 
A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.  Soon my kennel door opened, and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.  I would promise to keep her safe.  I would promise to always be by her side.  I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.  I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.  So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.
So many more to be saved.  At least, I was able to save one.
 
I rescued a human today.

My dear friend Michele, in Missouri sent me this in an email. I think it's the sweetest thing. 

I can imagine some dogs might really think this, in a more simple form of course. But it's hard to say if we need them more, or they need us more. We certainly bring value to a dogs life and I can't imagine my life without a dog. I guess we're lucky to have each other.

StumbleUpon Doggie Love

 

  PURE   DOGGIE   LOVE

What you have here, ladies and gentlemen, is the pure love of a companion dog.

I found this pic as I was stumbling through StumbleUpon.  For anyone who hasn't experienced StumbleUpon,  it is a unique website with a potpourri of subjects. Art, music, animals, games and puzzles are a few of my favorites. The best thing is, you get to customize the list of subjects that you are interested in. That limits stuff you might not like. So far, I have found that it is clean, no lewd pics or anything like that. But there is a huge amount of creativity and artistic ability that is displayed there. If you don't like what you see, you can click on the word Stumble! and it takes you to another page.  I  urge you to select ART as one of your personal subjects. There's some really cool and unusual stuff there. Once in a great while I see a little advertising, but you can click Stumble! and you're on to another page of what YOU like. The site is free and a lot of fun. Try It!

One Ball - Dog Vs. Deer

A lab, a deer, and a soccer ball. Huh? This is another one of those videos that you watch and say, "I can't believe it!". Two species who are suppose to be enemies, but have, against all odds, become friends and play pals. I got a huge laugh from this video. Hope you will too.

Photos Provided By Dog Bark Park





































Ever wondered what it'd be like to crawl inside the head of a Beagle? Well, me neither.....until now. At the Dog Bark Park Inn, located in Cottonwood, Idaho, you can do just that. As a matter of fact, you can spend the whole night there! This charming little bed & breakfast offers a unique twist to "getting a room for the night". Owners, and chainsaw artists, Frances Conklin and Dennis Sullivan designed and built these adorable beagles and one of them will be your room, if you stay there! There is no phone or tv, but they promise privacy and a starry night to view from the balcony. Beagles have balcony's? This one does! Breakfast is home made muffins and goodies, fruit, cheese, coffee and juice. They even have a gift shop where you can purchase one of these cute little dogs for yourself. I've added a link to Dog Bark Park Inn, in our favorites, or you can click on the title. Check them out for complete details, rates and amenities.
