Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I’m 2-years-young!!!  Tugg and I enjoyed a peanut butter birthday cake from Just Dogs Gourmet Bakery.  As you can tell from the pictures, it was good.  

I also got a super cool birthday gift that I can’t wait to try out…a bubble machine!!!  I bet My Boy will enjoy it too. 

It’s not just my birthday today but Bogey’s too.  Who is Bogey you ask?  He is also my brother.  You see, Tugg and I aren’t just brothers because we live in the same house, we’re blood related too. 

Our other biological family members live about an hour away with our grandmother.  There’s Fletcher and Ladye Bug, our parents.  Then there are our siblings, Smidget (Tugg’s litter mate) and Bogey (my litter mate).  When the six of us get together, it’s a real wild time.    

Now with a belly full of cake, I’m off to bed.  Good night!   

Love & licks,

Gumbo

October - Adopt-A-Dog Month

October is American Humane Association’s Adopt-A-Dog Month.  There are many reasons why my fellow canines are up for adoption.  Many think only “bad” dogs are in need of new homes – just not so! 

Here are links to a couple of sites I know well:

• CARE (which serves the Central Arkansas area): http://www.careforanimals.org/pets/default.asp
• Silky Terrier Rescue (nationwide for my breed – purebred & mixes alike): http://silkyrescue.tripod.com/ - Trixie is not far from me in Mississippi near Memphis, Tennessee if anyone in my area is searching for a furry child

If there is a place in your home for a cold nose and warm heart, consider pet adoption or being a temporary pet foster home.  If neither are options for you at this time, there are other things you can do like donations to local animal shelters – even your old newspapers can often be useful.  Contact one in your area to ask about their specific needs or a wish list.    

Love & licks,
