Aww. See how excited TugTug is?
July 15th, 2009Did somebody say fundraiser? Help us build a barn!
Dogs like Nelly must have super-psychic abilities — they seem to call out for help at all hours from photos taken at bust cases as well as the kennels of crowded shelters.
July 12th, 2009Postage stamps from my art!
My friend Nan sent me a note the other day. And it was not just any note. The notecard was one I’d made for her from the portrait of Buttons, her schnauzer. Then I noticed the stamp on the front– it also featured Buttons’ portrait! What a kick. I’ve seen stamps made from photos (especially popular on wedding invitations), but never my own art. She had asked me to send her a file she could use for this project. Artists retain the copyright, so she had my permission to use it. Read the rest of this entry »
July 10th, 2009St. Louis MO – Been there, Done that
… Now what?
Most animal folks who watch the news know by now that the Humane Society Missouri spearheaded one doozie of a raid this week, resulting in the arrest of 26 suspected dog fighters and sweeping over 400 dogs from several states into custody. ROCK ON HSMO!
July 8th, 2009Gracie – Another Vick dog heard from
We nearly missed this one, published May 9. Gracie is very likely related to our dear Frodo. Kudos to the Richmond Animal League for stepping up for the dogs from this case. How eerie it must’ve been to have this happen almost right in your own backyard.

July 6th, 2009Nelly News
For all the Nelly fans out there who want an update on our dragon imp, you’ll be happy to know that she is happy as ever and even had the energy to march in the pride parade last weekend. We were prepared to put her in the truck if she tired, but she didn’t miss a step and charmed the masses ta boot. I think pink is her color and The Little Man below just might agree, even if he does play hard to get. Thanks to all who care so much about her to write and ask – it means a lot to us! – Tim
This senior dog’s name wasn’t supposed to stick, but she came into Oakland Animal Services with toenails so long that they curled into her pads, causing her toes to swell. So, ‘Toes.’ Dumb, but when your day is a busy blur, that creativity can just fly out the window. We figured she was so sweet that a new friend will certainly re-name her, right?
