Please Help the Houston Pitte Pack in Their Time of Loss

Please read this post from Mayzie's blog - and share, share, share.

Our friend Sandra of the Houston Pittie Pack lost everything to a housefire last night, including many of her beloved pets. Only Bella and Brinks made it out alive. The others (Coco Chanel, Guero, Shelby, Tiger, and Lucky) passed in the fire.

Mayzie has started a Chip-In for Sandra and her family. Now is the time of year to open your hearts, and who better to open it to than Sandra whose heart is bigger than the world itself?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sandra, her family, and the loving Bella and Brinks.

Happy Howl-O-Ween!

Happy Howl-O-Ween from Ghosty and Goblin! Booooo!

Introducing: The Dowager Hound

I am proud to introduce to you the award winning, head turning, all-around good sport:

Oliver, the Dowager Hound! (Or as one friend named him, "Mrs. Ollinger," which is so perfect!)

He won First Place for Most Creative Costume at South Wilton Vet's annual Halloween party yesterday!

He was up against some excellent competition, including a cow, a king, lots of pumpkins, a bullfrog, a geisha, even a cat who was given an honorary prize of Bravest for being the only kitty among so many dogs.

Atta boy, Ollie! You surprise me every day!

Separated at Birth?

Black Cap Night Heron Chick

We went to the Maritime Aquarium a few weeks ago and saw some pictures of shore birds. This particular one caught our eye as it reminded us of a certain dog in our own home...
