A few weeks ago, I posted a contest from People Saving Pets, asking you to submit your adoption story for consideration. The contest organizers have whittled the field down to 10 finalists, with the winner receiving a $500 Visa Gift Card and $1,000 to donate to a designated 501 (c)(3) animal welfare organization. Here’s your chance to help choose the winner.

Well, our Dock Dogs season opens this weekend with the Clay’s Park Me & My Pet Event, so I’m wondering, will this be the year Cooper finally gets into the pool?

Movie Monday: God and Dog

Thanks Onnalee!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Dog Birthdays
Spent most of the day setting up, then cleaning up after, my 2-legged son’s birthday party. Which got me to thinking about dog birthdays. Do you celebrate with them?
Dane Day at the Park
There is a group in Richmond, VA that has Dane Day the second Sunday of each month at 10:00 am at the Ruff House Dog Park at Rockwood Park. Their goal is to promote breed awareness and provide a social event for Great Danes and their families.
Saturday Survey: Does Your Dog Like Cats?

Anyway, we spent most of the weekend with the coach’s family, and they have four cats! Made me wonder how my dogs and their cats would get along. Do you have both dogs and cats in your home?
