Puppies for Adoption!!! / Pets Magazine Photoshoot! / 75 dogs project

Time is running out.

Auntie Teri from Pets magazine recently found some really cute puppies and are looking for homes for them. Please contact the numbers above if you wanna adopt a new puppy for your family!
Well, Pets magazine had a photo shoot organized for the pooches that did the fashion catwalk... and I had to go and pose again.
Bruno however wasn't part of the shoot but he insisted on coming... so he had 2 minders with him... not that he mind... he was still up to his mischievous self anyway.
Other from the fact that it was a 8am shoot, nothing really happened... and when it was all done, we had a fantastic picture with the Pets Magazine gang.

That said and done... there has been an sms going around with very inaccurate information. Pa himself have gotten quite a few.

Please visit the proper webpage over the 75 dog project. I'm proud to say that we have garnered over $2000 worth of donations already for the project and hopefully more would contribute.
Please also go take a look at Uncle Nick's Webpage for any updates as well as some really good photos taken.

Time is running out. Do what you can to help them out.

Dogs and Cats are eating Junk food...

Came across an interesting article before i i did my business on the papers...

PARIS - The junk food and poor eating habits affecting humans is also killing their four-legged pals, say veterinary surgeons and experts.

Allergies and obesity are reducing the life expectancy of Lassies and Mittens nourished worldwide on industrial foodstuffs, said Gerard Lippert, a Belgian acupuncturist for animals who has just completed a study on the diets of 600 dead dogs.

"Pets, like humans, are victims of junk food," he told AFP.

Of the 600 furry corpses he examined "those fed on processed foods died three years earlier than those fed on food made in the home."

Dogs, he added, "originally were omnivores who shared their food with humans."

Rippert said he was increasingly called on to heal skin, motor and digestive problems as acupuncture was an all-embracing method enabling work on practically all organs.

"Dry dog food and cat food croquettes are over-heated, which destroys vitamins, trace elements and other basic nutritional elements," he said.

"We don't know the origin of the proteins in the foods," he added. "And there's an excessive amount of cereal, often genetically modified, and very little vegetables."

"We're turning our dogs and cats into ruminants," he said.

Laurence Colliard, a veterinary surgeon and nutritionist located in the Paris suburbs, estimates that only five percent of French pet-owners cook food for their four-legged companions.

France is Europe's top pet nation -- with 7.8 million dogs and 10.7 million cats, according to a 2008 study by the Sofres/Facco polling institute.

Pa has always believed this! That dry food is really bad in a way that its way too good for us. Rather than what the articles says of having too few vits and no nutritional value.

But rather its really JUST too rich for us... too much of the good stuff.

And in reference to only dog owners that understand... the amount of poo we produce is a lot less when we are on fresh food in comparison to if we were on Dry food. Pa believes this has to be due to the absorption rate. Too much of a good thing and we poo everything out anyway.

However, perhaps they should have gotten more professionals to comment on this, maybe Vets who are sometimes in part clients of big dry food companies, wouldn't wanna comment... but getting a holistic healer doesn't inspire a very balanced point of view.

Oh well. Feed FRESH!
Next up would be my photo session with Pets Magazine! It was a bloomingly hot day... but well worth it! remember to pick up your next pet's magazine to catch me on the runway and a photo spread!

Mousie Goulie has been adopted!

I have just been informed that Mousie has been successfully adopted. Auntie E will also be contributing the $200 adoption fee. We were thinking probably the latest problem of 75 Dogs needing medical aid and new homes at the abandoned puppy mill.
after all the disagreements over this fellow and lost friendships, at least something good will then be passed on to others.
there are many other blogs from volunteers that shows the extent of the current problem at this project and perhaps the rest of you can help one way or another. You can find a list of items they need at the Dog Mill Rehomers web page on the right side.
I wouldn't be doing any photo coverage here as others have done is better than me... and especially I haven't gone to take a look at the situation yet.
Mousie have apparently touched many people's hearts. I hope that would translate to helping other dogs as well.
Medical fees have been damagingly high for this project. You can see just how badly the dogs have been treated.
Some dogs are just more fortunate than others.
They will always have someone loving them.
They will always have someone looking out for them.
They will always have someone sleeping with them.
This is mousie's new brother... also another CHH... but...
they cannot be any other different. Mousie is the one on the right yes.
Hopefully we might be able to get more updates from his new Ma in the near future. At the mean time, please take a look at the dogmill websites and if you can, do something about it.

Stray Pit Bull Saves Woman, Child from Attacker

What a Fantastic story!

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The wandering 65-pound Pit Bull mix might have seemed menacing to some passerby, but one woman will always remember him as her "guardian angel."

The dog, which authorities think is lost and not a stray, successfully thwarted a robbery attack on a mother and her 2-year-old son, who were held at knifepoint Monday afternoon.

The Florida woman, who has been identified by authorities simply as "Angela," was leaving a playground with her toddler son in Port Charlotte when a man approached her in the parking lot with a knife and told her not to make any noise or sudden movements.

Angela didn't have to do either to protect herself and her child -- a dog mysteriously ran to the scene and charged the man, who quickly fled.

"I don't think the dog physically attacked the man, but he went at him and was showing signs of aggression, just baring his teeth and growling and barking. It was clear he was trying to defend this woman," Animal Control Lt. Brian Jones told Pet Pulse.

"I don't know what this man's intentions were, but it is very possible this dog saved her life."

The exceptional part of the story, Jones said, is that the dog had never met or even seen the people it quickly jumped to defend.

"You hear about family dogs protecting their owners, but this dog had nothing to do with this woman or her kid," Jones said. "He was like her guardian angel."

After the alleged thief ran away, Angela quickly placed her son, Jordan, in the car and tried to drive off. Before she could, though, the dog jumped into her backseat, waiting with her for the police and animal control officers to arrive at the scene.

The dog was transported to a local shelter and if his owners don't step forward within five days, Jones said, Angela and her family plan to adopt the savior she named "Angel."

Animal control officers and shelter workers believe Angel is lost, and not a stray, because of his good health, sturdy weight and mild temperament.

"It's funny, that someone's irresponsibility could have saved someone's life," Jones said of Angel's possible owners.

For Angela, it doesn't matter where the dog came from, just that he was there when she needed him most.

"I don't know what his [the thief's] intentions were -- I don't know why he did it, but I'm glad that -- we call him Angel -- I'm glad that Angel showed up because I don't know what would have happened," Angela told NBC2 News.

I do believe that every dog well socialized will know what is right and what is wrong. No matter the reason, this is just one less reason to fear us.And now... first things first...

Elfy the Mini Schnauzer in need of a new Home!

Meet Elfy, I haven't met him yet but he is also in need of a new home.

He is roughly about 5 years old and partially toilet trained.

Not too bad with humans and some dogs.
He is pretty healthy and checked right with the Vet, but apparently he has a humping problem... Easily corrected with a couple of raps on the head I'm sure.

Interested? then email babybin_86@hotmail.com for a chance to view him soon!
