Dogs, dogs and more dogs!


Wow, it's been a while, or so it seems. I've just been too damn tired to even get on the computer much less write something. I went to the St. Jude Showcase of Dogs yesterday and had a great time. It's a three day event with flyball competitions, obedience, earthdog and police dog demonstrations and dogs and their people everywhere! You'd think that I'd be sick to death of dogs since I work with them all day and then come home to my own pack. I must really be an animal person (or just legally insane). I always run into friends either at the booths or bringing their own pooches for a day out. I was prepared, camera in hand ready to get pics of all the great dogs, but alas, I only got one pic before the batteries in my camera died.



Oh, well, I'll improvise with random pics just to make things interesting. LOL! Anyway, I do have connections with this Dachshund Rescue after finding a poor old red girl wandering in the middle of the street. It was one of those divine guidance things where I was looking for a certain house and got myself turned around and went the wrong way and saw this pup staggering around in front of my car. No way I could leave her there (it was pretty cold and dachshunds aren't a hardy, cold-weather breed by any means). Since I already have a house full of critters there was no way this fragile girl would make it around here without getting stepped on 20 times a day by my well-meaning canine oafs, I contacted this rescue. Since 'Isabelle' was fairly old and had some health issues, they sent her to a permanent "foster" home where she will live out the rest of her life. They're really a great group, so if you're in the market for a dachshund, they had several cuties for adoption (that I tried to get pics of!)

Instead, you'll have to settle for pics of one of my dogs and his new friend. Mine is the fat little border collie mix, his friend is a co-worker's dog.

More on the St. Jude showcase later.

Hi, I came over from T's "It Matters To Me" blog...I like the way you write and your descriptions. I also enjoy the short posts..such fun. I haven't been posting long and I guess I've always thought I should have lots of 'blogworthy' stuff to say...your short posts have shown me what fun just a line or two, or picture or two, can be. I'll be reading your past posts for fun!

Hi Betty! Glad you're enjoying my blog! I admit I have a short attention span and don't have the patience to sit at the computer for too long. Big thanks for stopping by and for your comments!
