We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults.

Dogs On Thursday

"My dog is usually pleased with what I do,

because she is not infected with the concept of what I "should" be doing."

Ok...now national news!!

~Post Hurricane Ike, many rescue organizations are receiving pets, who were rescued. Please check your local rescue and see if they are getting some of the 100 dogs and cats that need homes and help. I know that my local SPCA just received a ton of animals and are in need of some support. If you have any local rescues that are helping out please let us know!

~Next, have you seen this story?? The headline Owner saves dog from shark's jaws can sure catch someone's eyes. This man actually beat up a shark to save his dogs life!! I couldn't believe it when I first heard but it's amazing! Makes you wonder....how far would you go to save your dog?

I hope everyone has had a great week! Please feel free to email Paula or me, if you would like to join our group or have any questions.

Happy Dogs on Thursday!!
