Rudy and Rosie's Kong Techniques #WordlessWednesday

With temperatures below zero recently, it was just too cold to spend much time outdoors.  A perfect excuse to break out some stuff Kongs.  I thought you might like a look at Rosie and Rudy's Kong techniques.

 Rosie is all about comfort and she totally focuses on her Kong.

 I told you - all about comfort.  And bliss. Can't forget the bliss.

 Rudy uses a standing technique. No sloucher, he. 

 

No laying down on the job.

Woops! some of the peanut button got on his leg.

Yes. When Rudy took his eye off his Kong, Rosie grabbed it!

John Lewis Christmas Ad on Dog Song Saturday @BusterTheBoxer

If you've stopped by for Dog Song Saturday before, then you know that we really are partial to original songs, music and music videos about dogs.  However, sometimes we come across something that we love so much we just have to share it.

This is one of those times.

Today we're featuring an ad.  Yes, an advertisement for the John Lewis company.  

The music is One Day I'll Fly Away performed by Vaults.  The video tells the story of a little girl, Bridget, who loves to bounce.  When her parents buy her a trampoline for Christmas, they soon discover that she isn't the only one with a passion for jumping. 

Check it out!  Then fetch some more genuine dog song music videos at Talking Dogs.  You'll be surprised at how many we've collected over the past few years.

We're celebrating #NationalMuttDay

 Today is National Mutt Day and we're celebrating!

You may remember when we did the Wisdom DNA test on Rosie.  The results came back 12% Akita, 12% Labrador Retriever and 12% Fox Terrier.  The remaining 64% was a jumble of dog breeds, so many that they could not be singled out.  Pretty sure that describes a mutt!

I happen to believe that 64% is composed of love.  Lots and lots of love.

That's true of all my dogs - they're all made of love - and definitely true of the mutts in my life.  And there have been quite a few of them.  None shown here, but still loved just as much - are Spanky and Sherman.  Both were adopted from animal shelters. My heart dog, Lucy, wasn't a shelter dog, but she was a gorgeous mutt!

Jeffie and Rosie both came from the same animal shelter and were found via Petfinder.  You can fetch Jeffie's Petfinder story for puppy pictures!

Tucker was not a shelter dog.  He was a stray puppy my vet was sure was a bait dog.  Poor guy got lucky when he found his way to our front porch.  A bit of Lab? Chow?  Who knows.  What we know for sure: we had 14 beautiful years together.

Benji holds the distinction of being both my very first mutt and my very first shelter dog.  I saw him during my very first visit to an animal shelter.  It definitely was my lucky day!

Celebrating War Dogs on Veteran's Day

As long ago as 600 BC dogs have been trained for battle and used as sentries and on patrols. The United States Military has used working dogs since World War I. 

These canines have saved countless lives acting as scouts and trackers, sentries, search and rescue, and bomb detection.

Here at Talking Dogs we're grateful to all who protect our freedom and today we want to recognize the service of the dogs in our military.

Happy Veteran's Day!
