Adopt Mary Jane a #BlackLab and #SeniorDog @Wayside Waifs in #KCMO

This beautiful girl is Mary Jane.  She's a 7 year old senior black Labrador Retriever mix.  I just love that big white mark on her chest.

Lucky girl! She was already in a shelter when she was pulled by and taken in by Wayside Waifs, Kansas City's largest no-kill facility.

Mary Jane Would love to have a home for the holidays.  She already knows how to shake paws and is food motivated.  Read more in her adoption message.

Hey there, my name's Mary Jane! I was brought to Wayside Waifs when my last shelter ran out of space for me. It's okay, though, because I've been given the second chance at life that I deserve! 

I'm a beautiful retriever, lab mix who weighs about 57 pounds. I'm big in size and in heart! I'll do great in a home with children or other furry friends but I'd like to meet them before heading home to get an idea of how I might do. I have a moderate energy level but because of my size I'll still need daily physical activity. I like to explore the world and will love going on long walks with you. Since I'm strong and can get a little distracted I'll benefit from using a harness on walks so I can learn to stick by your side instead of pulling ahead. 

With some basic obedience training in my new home I know I'll make a well-mannered companion. I know how to sit and shake already and I'm eager to learn even more! I'm especially motivated by praise and yummy food! I'm a sweetheart who will enjoy quality time with you and lots of belly rubs. I'd love to meet you soon at Wayside Waifs! Tail wags for stopping by.
Love, Mary Jane

Lab Approved Labrador Retriever Dog Jewelry @ForLoveofaDog

Since we're celebrating Rudy's fifth birthday tomorrow, it somehow seemed fitting to do a little barking about my dog breed dog jewelry.  Most especially my Labrador Retriever dog jewelry.

Did you know that For Love of a Dog Jewelry began with Labrador Retriever dog jewelry?  Already a jewelry designer and maker, I wanted a piece of jewelry that celebrated my heart dog, Lucy and my yellow Lab, Sherman.  So many people wanted one when they saw mine that For Love of a Dog Jewelry was born as a sister business to my Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry.

My first handmade Labrador Retriever dog necklace.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Today my pretty boy, Rudy, is my design inspiration for my Labrador Retriever dog jewelry like this yellow Lab necklace with glass dog bones and red jasper heart.

Rudy reminds me every day to take time to smell the roses and look for dog bones which inspired this yellow Lab bracelet with a rose and daisy floral lampwork focal bead, glass dog bones and cool green crystals.  Of course there's a yellow Labrador Retriever dog charm!

Pieces like this fox red Labrador Retriever pendant remind me of my Lucy with whom it all began..

These are just a very small sample of my Labrador Retriever dog jewelry pieces.  Fetch For Love of a Dog to see all of my black Lab, chocolate Lab, as well as yellow and fox red Labrador Retriever dog bracelets, necklaces, pins, pendants and more.  

Each jewelry piece is handmade by me in my Missouri Ozarks studio with Rudy right by my side.  He's in charge of the shipping department and because he loves dog lovers as much as I do, shipping is free to US addresses.

Rudy loves the exercise of a shipping run, so shop For Love of a Dog Jewelry now!

Adopt Bubba 6 Year Old Black #LabradorRetriever @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO

This beautiful boy is Bubba.  He's a 6 year old black Labrador Retriever.  As he explains in his adoption message, he's got a couple of issues.  At 92 pounds he's a bit overweight and needs a new best friend to help him slim down.  He also has what is probably a partial tendon tear in his left hind leg.  That will mean some veterinary care.

Here's Bubba's story:

Hi there, it's Bubba here. What do you think of when you hear the name "Bubba?" I hope it's a big, loveable, happy-go-lucky black lab, because that's me! I'm 6 years old and weigh 92 pounds....I need to lose weight, but I swear some of that weight is all the love I have inside me! I crave attention from people, and I've heard it said that I have an all-around great personality. What more could you wish for?

When I arrived at Wayside Waifs, the first thing they noticed (other than my splendid looks and personality) is that I have a problem with my left hind leg. I limp, and the vets are pretty sure it's a partial tear of a tendon. It may not get any worse, especially if I'm careful and not rambunctious. That's where you come in. I have a lot of energy, and I need my person to make sure I don't over-do my exercise. Gentle walks would be wonderful, but no jogging or leaping. Don't get me wrong...I'm still up for fun and games. Swimming might be something I'd like to try as I love the baby pool in the park. I've also had fun hanging out with another dog here, but no rough play. Exercise that will help me burn up some energy in ways that don't further injure my leg is the way to go.

To be truthful, I really love attention and affection from humans. I think I'd be content just living in a home with someone who adores me, pets me, gives me belly rubs, and appreciates my goofy and loveable personality. The vet may want me to be on anti-inflammatory medicine. Together, we'll have to check that out. Oh, and because I'm overweight, I'll need you to oversee a diet for me which would lighten the strain on my leg. That's not real appealing as I do love my food, but if it keeps me healthy, I'm in! I know we'll both want to be vigilant in order to avoid me needing any corrective surgery, right?

So you see...I'm looking for someone pretty special to see to my needs. Why not? I'm a pretty special dog! I'm full of life and have a lot of good living ahead of me. I know how to "sit" and "come" and I'm motivated by toys, praise and of course food. That means it'll be easy for me to learn more commands and basic obedience. That would be fun for both of us and provide me with mental games to re-direct my energy. I love to go for walks and it'd be great if you'd use a harness or halter to help me learn not to pull. I am mostly house trained and have not had any accidents in my kennel. Once I'm at home with you, a refresher course on that might be on your to-do list. 

So here I am...a big bundle of love just waiting for you! When you come to see me, please bring all family members, including any furry ones, so we can make sure we all get along. Also, I should go to a home with kids older than 5, who can understand the rules about my activities and help make sure I don't romp around like crazy. I'm really hoping that you are my special match, and I can be your perfect companion. Come see me soon...I can't wait to start the rest of my life with you!

Adopt Maddie a 6 Year Old Black #LabradorRetriever at @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO

Here we go again. Another dog surrendered to a shelter because the owners had a human baby.  Maddie was originally adopted as a puppy from Wayside Waifs. Her owners had a new baby and things took a bad turn as that baby became a toddler.  As Maddie shares in her adoption message, Maddie was sometimes scared of the toddler and the toddler was sometimes scared of Maddie.  

In my opinion it could have been a learning experience for all involved.  Instead Maddie was surrendered to Wayside Waifs where she's now hoping for a new family that will love her forever.

Maddie is a 6 year old black Labrador Retriever mix with a doggone beautiful grin.  She's spayed, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash and knows lots of commands.  She's also stressed and lonely at the shelter.

Read Maddie's adoption message and then call Wayside Waifs at 816-761-8151. Maddie's animal ID number is 8125341.

 Hi, I'm Maddie! Yikes...I'm not really sure what I'm doing here. There must be some mistake. I'm a family dog who belongs in a home and gets a daily walk and is loved and cared for and spoiled. It was never part of my plan to be in a homeless shelter again. I barely remember the last time I was here. I was just a pup and was quickly adopted. So when I found myself back where it all started, well, I've been just a little anxious and unsure. I hope my new family finds me very soon!

I'm a beautiful, 6 year old, 50 pounds of pure love, already housetrained and crate trained, Labrador Retriever mix. I'm smart, affectionate, friendly, and I love people. I first came to Wayside as a wee pup, back in 2009, and I quickly found a new home and family that I adored. We've been together for the past 6 years now and my life has been pretty wonderful. My family had a baby a couple years ago though, and now that she's a toddler, sometimes she scares me. And sometimes I scare her. I'm a perfect dog in so many ways, but every once in a while, I get protective of my special treats and I don't want anyone near them. My little toddler friend doesn't understand that. So my family decided to bring me back to Wayside, hoping I'll find a new family that is a perfect match for me. I miss them very much and I imagine they miss me too, but sometimes things are out of my control, so I have no choice but to carry on and keep looking forward. Luckily, I am a resilient dog with so much to offer, so I hope to not be homeless for long.

My previous family had so many great things to say about me! When they were gone, sometimes they'd put me in my crate and I did just fine there. I loved going for a daily walk or run, playing and goofing off in the backyard, taking an occasional trip to the dog park, and munching on my favorite treats. I did just great in the backyard, with a 6 foot wooden fence. In our old house though, there was a chain link fence that I'd sometimes climb over, if I got bored and was left out alone too long. Funny thing is, once I got over the fence, I'd just walk to the front door, asking to get let back in. I'll need you to keep an eye on me when I'm outside, and make sure I stay safe and secure in my yard. When we had company, I'd greet them with a friendly welcome. I was smart and eager to learn and I know all sorts of commands, including sit, stay, come, down, heel, and off. I'm a quick learner and I love to make you happy, so training me is easy and fun. I walk perfectly on my leash and I'm relaxed and calm during car rides.

In my last home, I lived with another dog and we did just fine together most of the time. On rare occasion, we'd get in arguments about food or special treats. Our mom fed us separately and that typically worked out just fine for us. Since I can be serious about my food though, I hope you will feed me in a quiet and safe place, where no one will bother me. And I'd like to meet the whole family, including any other dogs you have, before we go home together. I also want to meet all the kids in the family and I think I'll be happiest with kids over the age of at least 10.

I'm feeling sort of stressed and lonely at the shelter. I don't mean to complain or cause any trouble though. I'm grateful that I have a second chance in life. I'm grateful that my life so far has been filled with love and fun. I know what it means to be a beloved member of a family. And I know how to give unconditional love to you. I can't wait to show you what an incredible dog I am! Please come out to meet me very soon. My kennel seems so lonely and I can't wait to have a home again.
Love, Maddie

Adopt Lucky a Black #LabradorRetriever Dog @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO

This sweet girl is Lucky.  She's a 3 1/2 year old Labrador Retriever mix.  At 65 pounds she's a big girl. Athletic, playful and already housebroken, Lucky would love to be your best friend.

Here's her adoption message:

Hi, I'm Lucky! And oh boy, lucky is how I've felt my whole entire life, at least until I became homeless. And I suppose I'm still lucky, because being at Wayside gives me the chance to find you and start the next chapter of my life. It's sort of exciting in a way, thinking about you and waiting for you and wondering what day you'll be able to come for me. I am a smart, friendly, social, fun dog who never has a bad day and appreciates every moment of life. I have a delightful personality and I love pretty much everyone I meet.

I am a beautiful, 3 ½ year old, 65 pound, already housetrained, Labrador Retriever mix. I'm athletic and playful and an overall wonderful companion. I came to Wayside when my previous owner could no longer take care of me. We had been together since I was a puppy and we loved each other very much. But things in his life changed and he wasn't able to take me along for the ride. I was sad, that's for sure, when I realized our time together was ending, but I'm trying my best to understand. I've learned that sometimes life doesn't happen exactly like you had planned. Sometimes things are out of your control. And sometimes you just have to get up in the morning and hope it's a good day. A good day for me will be the day you find me and welcome me into your family!

My dad had so many great things to say about me! I was very well behaved in my home. I was crate trained as a puppy and did just fine with that. When I got older, I didn't need the crate any longer, and I did just great in my home. Before my dad left home, he'd make sure I went to the bathroom, so that I didn't have any accidents while he was away. He said I could hold it for about 6-8 hours, although I'd much rather have you around more often. I'm a people dog and I love to be by your side. I was an indoor dog, except when I went out to run and play. I hope to have a fenced in yard in my new home, because I love to play fetch and run around and act goofy. I also enjoy going for a daily walk or a run. I do pretty well on my leash, but a harness works too, if I pull too much for you.

In my last home, I got along really well with everyone...including all the adults, kids of all ages, visitors, the other dog in my home, and even the family cat! Still, I'd like to meet the whole family, to make sure we're all a good fit for one another. And I'd like a home without any small, furry animals, such as bunnies. With other dogs, I like to control things and sometimes I'm bossy. The dog I used to live with was fine with that, but not all dogs will appreciate my style. I'd be perfectly happy being your only dog as well, of course! And sometimes I can be jumpy with people. I'm working on that though, and I'm a smart gal, so you can teach me not to do this! Please be consistent with me and teach me in a positive way what you expect from me. I already know lots of commands, including sit, stay, come, shake, fetch, and rollover. My dad invested lots of time training me and I'm a beautifully behaved dog!

I hope you will be dedicated and committed to me. I have lots of energy, so I will need exercise every day. I'm not the sort of dog who will be happy left alone in my crate for long days. I want to live and experience all life has to offer and go on an occasional adventure with you. I want to be your devoted companion. I want to proudly walk through our neighborhood with you and meet everyone and let them all pet me. I want to make your life happier and brighter, just by having me in it. I don't plan to be here at the shelter for long, so I hope you will come for me soon!
Love, Lucky

Adopt a Bonded Pair of Senior Black Labrador Retrievers @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO

UPDATE - Roxie and Ranger were adopted (together) on Saturday, February 14.  Now, that's a happy Valentine's Day!

This dynamic duo is Roxie and Ranger. Both are black Labrador Retriever mixes who were surrendered to Wayside Waifs animal shelter.  Ranger is 7 1/2 and Roxie is 8 years old, so they're both considered senior dogs.  Roxie and Ranger have been together almost all of their lives and are a bonded pair.

These beautiful dogs are housebroken, used to a doggie door, walk nicely on a leash together and have a whole lot of love just waiting for you.

Here's their story:

Hi there! We are Roxie and Ranger and we really want to be part of a family again. We had that once...a home and a family and a boy to run and play with. But for now, we're here at the shelter, waiting to start over with our new family. That's ok though. We know you'll find us soon and life will be good. We are fun and playful, affectionate and super sweet. We're just a little shy and unsure though too, mostly because this whole experience has been a bit overwhelming to us.

I, Ranger, am a handsome, 7 ½ year old, 54 pound, Black Lab mix. I love to be close to you and I melt into you when you pet me. Nothing feels better to me than a good belly rub. My sister, Roxie, is my best friend and the sweetest dog on earth, at least to me. She is a shy, 8 year old, 79 pound, Black Lab mix who is loving and gentle. We are both already housetrained and know how to use a doggie door when we need to go outside. Roxie is more nervous and anxious about life here at the shelter than I am, so she asked me to write our bio. I'd do anything for her, she knows that. It's just been a really confusing time for us, what with our family moving away and not being able to take us with them, so we are so very grateful that we have each other. I don't think either one of us can imagine making this transition in our lives without the other.

At our previous home, we were well behaved and easy dogs. We had a room that we stayed in with doggie door access to the fenced in backyard, and we proudly kept our room clean and neat. We loved more than anything when we were included in the house with the family though! Nothing feels better than the love of a family. We rode very well in the car and loved going for rides to show off our family. We lived with a teenage boy who liked to run and play outside with us every day. We loved that part of the day and looked forward to it with excited anticipation! We are in the prime of our lives, so we're calm and laidback, yet we have plenty of energy and we love to stay active and exercise, too. We're a great combination of fun and playful, yet easygoing and chilled out. We love to go for walks and one person can typically walk both of us at once, since we do really well on our leashes.

Sometimes things make us nervous and unsure. Our previous family said we were afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and swinging baseball bats. Well, we don't feel like any of those fears are out of the ordinary, but we might be happiest in a calm and quiet home without a lot of activity and chaos. We'll do best in a home without kids under the age of 5. Older kids and adults are perfect though, and we'd love to romp and play again someday, if you're up for that. We might need a little extra time to adjust in our new home, as we get settled in and used to our new routines with you. Please just be patient and gentle with us and praise us when we are good dogs. We will thrive in a calm and loving environment. We'd like a home without cats, because we like to chase them. And we mostly do fine with other dogs, but if you do have others, please bring them out to meet us before we all go home together. In fact why don't you just bring the whole family to Wayside, so we can be sure we all get along great.

We know we're asking a lot from you to welcome two big dogs into your home. But we think we're worth it! We are well behaved and calm and sweet. We are best friends, so we promise to always get along. We play and entertain each other and keep each other company when you are away, so you never have to feel guilty about leaving us alone. Of course we'd prefer to have you home with us, so we can show you what true unconditional love is all about. And there will be double of that going around, with both of us giving you plenty of doggie love. Life will be happy and fun and full of good times with us around.

We just want to belong to a family again. We loved that part of life...being part of something and belonging to someone and knowing we were loved. We want that again, hopefully with you. Please give us a chance to show you what fantastic companions we can be. We won't let you down. We can't wait to meet you!
Love, Roxie and Ranger

Personally, I adore Labrador Retriever dogs.  My very first dog was a black Lab named Blackie Duke.  And you can see my sweet yellow Lab, Rudy's face over there on the left.  Consequently, my Labrador Retriever dog breed jewelry usually has the most selection of my handmade necklaces, bracelets, pins, and pendants in a Lab theme.  Choose from black Labs, chocolate Labs, yellow Labs, and even fox red (golden) Labs!

Shown at top is a yellow Lab dog bone bracelet.  This one includes red jasper and sweet three dimensional glass dog bones, plus a two dimensional (flat on back, sculptured on front) yellow Labrador Retriever dog charms.

Since it's the holidays, I have to mention Lab ornaments.  The black Lab ornaments are sold out.  However, as I write this, I do still have Chocolate Labrador Retriever dog Christmas ornaments,  yellow Labrador Retriever dog Christmas ornaments, and golden yellow Labrador Retriever dog ornaments available.

My heart dog, Lucy, was the fox red color, so you could say that this golden yellow Labrador Retriever dog pendant with red artisan lampwork heart is a tribute to her.

This is just a very, very small sample of my work with the Labrador Retriever dog theme.  You really should head to my web shop.  You may be surprised at all the jewelry gifts there!  

Best of all some of it is on sale! Like these yellow Labrador Retriever dog leash holders.  These are not handmade by me, but they're very cool and I have just a couple left at a sweet price.

Dog Song Saturday: Our Lab Tribute

It's Saturday, so time for a dog song at Talking Dogs.  Since we began sharing dog song music videos years ago, we've had a very wide variety of featured videos.  Sad, happy, fun, educational, famous composers and performers, and more.  My personal favorites remain:  original songs about dogs.

I believe I've got a great one for your today.  Our Lab Dog Tribute Memorial is a video put together by David Grey for his black Labrador Retriever.  Booboo passed away earlier this year and David composed this song on the ukulele as a tribute to her.  He notes:  "She was everything to us and she will be dearly missed."

Grab a dog.  A Lab if you've got one.  Sit.  Stay.  Relax and enjoy this sweet dog song for Booboo.


Fetch more dog song music videos at Talking Dogs.  You'll be surprised at how many we've collected over the past few years!  And be sure to scroll down below today's featured dog song to explore some barking good blogs in today's Pet Blogger Hop.
