ITS AN ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY...

& just when everyone has come out & said WHAT? A NEWFOUNDLAND? The most gentle creature out there? Well, thank goodness Murphy the Newfoundland in Roseville, MN just said - "ENOUGH TALK - I'LL PROVE IT!" So yesterday he goes & saves his 95 year old neighbor who had fallen and there was no one there to help her.

There is a huge lesson to be learned from all this - Police teams need to be trained on how to read dog behavior. Just as Murphy saved the life of his neighbor yesterday, Rosie can continue to save the lives of other dogs if we use her memory to demand change in the way police departments handle loose animal situations.

So Murphy in Minnesota - YOU ROCK!
& Dear Rosie - Run Free & may you never be scared again.

HAPPY BURPDAY QUINCY! My Little Monkey Stick Brother is one year old today...
But as you can tell, he's none the wiser...Cuz I'm actually wearing the bigger of the two hats...He couldn't even balance the extra large one on his extra large noggin'! He's wearing the tiny baby one... - Clearly, he's got a lot to learn...
Here's his yummy Burpday cake from the local Three Dogs Bakery...

Happy Burpday Little Brother... I guess you are kinda growing on me...

ITS RANDAY!

HAPPY RANDAY EVERY PUP! Its been furever since my mom/secretary helped me blog...I used to have multiple posts weekly - then it went down to once a week Randay - & then I thought it just might be major holidays...& now MONTHS have gone by. BOOOO! Oh - for all of you who wanna know - I've realized my Monkey Stick Brother Quincy is good for at least one thing - a chin rest... still trying to figure out what else...I'll let YOU know when I know...
& speaking of the Monkey Stick - here he is...He's 11 months & 3 weeks... & still a BIG BABY.
I've been doing lots of stuff - but mostly missing all my blogging pals...Oh..& sleeping...
Here is the Monkey Stick when I told him to go out after a rain shower to find a pot of gold...er, I mean, cheese (more valuable to him than gold). He was waiting like a little leprechaun. He sat there forever...& never found the cheese! Bwhahaha! He's so gullible.
& here I am...As awesome as can be. I can still drool so much better than the Monkey Stick. Oh - & since my last post was from July 4th - Here is a list of national days I really wanted to post about, but couldn't...I think they are pretty self-explainatory as to why they would be really important to inform you all about...
