Doberman Pinscher Necklace

Mama has new jewelry in the For Love of a Dog shop. Not only some fun lampwork dog bone (or biscuit) earrings, some breed bracelets, but also some very cute Doberman Pinscher earrings and a necklace. This adorable dog charm could represent a Miniature Pinscher or mixed breed mutt, too. What fun!

She's been busy on the computer the last couple of days, so I've been getting plenty of power napping done. I've needed a little rest since last week was perfect dog weather with temps in the low 70's and almost no humidity. I spent as much time outside as I could. When I wasn't working (security patrol, you know), I just relaxed on the deck and watched the hummingbirds fight. It was almost like a vacation!

Woof! woof!

Spay NASCAR

Nope, you didn't read that wrong. Spay and NASCAR really do go together!

You, know I love NASCAR. What can I tell you? I'm a guy and I'm from southside Virginia. And we love NASCAR. My new favorite driver is Greg Biffle. Why, you ask? Well, here's something to woof about!

Greg Biffle is not only a NASCAR stock car racing superstar, but he's also the spokesperson for SPAY/USA, a nationwide network and referral service for spay and neuter services.

He's a passionate for animals and, of course, he's already spayed and neutered his won dogs. Greg believes that by raising awareness about the prevention of unwanted litters, pet owners will follow his lead and alter their pets. That's the best way to reduce the number of shelter euthanasias. Check out his public service announcement. Did you realize that right now euthaniasia rates are about 4 million a year?

Before I head out for a nap in the sunshine, I just want to remind you to spay or neuter your pets... and if you've got a dollar to two to spare, support a spay/neuter program in your area. The dogs of America will thank you!

And BARK if you love NASCAR!
Woof! woof!

Dog Fighting Ring Bust Update

The more than 400 dogs rescued last week by the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force are now receiving veterinary exams and treatment, nutritious food, water and care from dedicated staff and volunteers in facilities set up just for them.

The dogs were seized as part of an eight-state dog fighting investigation that involved state and federal authorities and resulted in multiple arrests. Humane Society of Missouri animal cruelty investigators provided the information that lead to the investigation. The next step for the dogs will be individual behavior evaluations conducted by a team of Humane Society of Missouri experts along with others including representatives from the ASPCA.

I just hope that good forever homes can be found for these survivors.
