You can call me "Jack" if you want, &lt;br /&gt;or even "One-Eyed Jack" because it's true...

I also think that I'm a lap dog, &lt;br /&gt;even though I weigh almost 100 lbs.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RztFm54XdZI/AAAAAAAAAFo/jYp2Pk3QoEk/s1600-h/JackBlog5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RztFm54XdZI/AAAAAAAAAFo/jYp2Pk3QoEk/s400/JackBlog5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132772734993397138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;center&gt;I'm an &lt;B&gt;Anatolian Shepherd,&lt;/B&gt; which is an extra-large breed, sort of like a Mastiff crossed with a German Shepherd. Generally my breed is very smart, loyal, and sometimes stubborn. I personally am really friendly and I have some mellow moments, but at other times I like to run and jump around like the youngster that I am. (I was born in September 06.)&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RztFnJ4XdaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/mETbkGS577Q/s1600-h/JacksonBlog4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RztFnJ4XdaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/mETbkGS577Q/s400/JacksonBlog4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132772739288364450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;center&gt;I like other dogs, especially giant-sized like me! I'm pretty good on a leash but I'm still a bit of a puppy so I'm learning more every day. Because of my eye situation, I don't want to live in a home with small kids since they could startle me easily. Teenagers or older would be just great though.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rzx3vVyvp0I/AAAAAAAAAGA/Ka5-nZLA6Mk/s1600-h/JackBlog2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rzx3vVyvp0I/AAAAAAAAAGA/Ka5-nZLA6Mk/s400/JackBlog2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133109330483062594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;The message on the wall says it all!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-4270280673687016907?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/4270280673687016907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=4270280673687016907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/4270280673687016907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/4270280673687016907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/11/hi-my-names-jackson.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RztFl54XdXI/AAAAAAAAAFY/13ta70G25cE/s72-c/JackBlog1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-8204784998562124236</id><published>2007-09-05T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-05T12:34:55.500-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Daln6AEI/AAAAAAAAAEw/CJQqvgrfZVY/s1600-h/AspenSit1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Daln6AEI/AAAAAAAAAEw/CJQqvgrfZVY/s400/AspenSit1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106804257772404802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;With her bone ready, &lt;br /&gt;Aspen thinks she just may be ready for school!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8DbFn6AFI/AAAAAAAAAE4/hAPuVVg1_lc/s1600-h/AspenTahoeRest2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8DbFn6AFI/AAAAAAAAAE4/hAPuVVg1_lc/s400/AspenTahoeRest2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106804266362339410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;Aspen and Tahoe settle down for nap time...&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Dbln6AGI/AAAAAAAAAFA/agEqfIZcGc8/s1600-h/BreckFace1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Dbln6AGI/AAAAAAAAAFA/agEqfIZcGc8/s400/BreckFace1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106804274952274018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;Breckenridge shows how handsome and thoughtful he is.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Db1n6AHI/AAAAAAAAAFI/mO4T_HHOsvo/s1600-h/Tahoe%26StormyYard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8Db1n6AHI/AAAAAAAAAFI/mO4T_HHOsvo/s400/Tahoe%26StormyYard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106804279247241330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;Tahoe and Stormy catchin' some last minute summer rays!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8DcVn6AII/AAAAAAAAAFQ/fWqj_G3A8_c/s1600-h/TahoeLook3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/Rt8DcVn6AII/AAAAAAAAAFQ/fWqj_G3A8_c/s400/TahoeLook3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106804287837175938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;Tahoe asks, "Whaddya been waiting for?

We are new to the Happy Dogs world and we are happy now, probably for the first time in our little lives. Finally we know what it is like to have good meals every day, fresh clean water, cool dry air to live in, and be rid of nasty things like fleas and tapeworms. (Those are SO nasty!) We were not at all cared for when we were first born. Thank heavens the rescue people took us in, or else we were going to be dumped in the street. Nice, huh? Yeah, humans can be really awful but now we know the "good" ones and they will take great care of us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RoBMpaHhayI/AAAAAAAAAEI/6V2worKwMzQ/s1600-h/Ski+Puppies+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RoBMpaHhayI/AAAAAAAAAEI/6V2worKwMzQ/s400/Ski+Puppies+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080144653943139106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're named after some cool places (no pun intended) and we are just now starting to look for great families to adopt us and love us forever. If you might want to meet us or give us a responsible forever home, please send us a note. Oh, it would be good if you are used to really big dogs and if you know how to housetrain a puppy.

As many Huskies like to do, I can escape a fence - my method was by climbing it (if it's short enough), and I was often out loose and running around looking for adventures. My owner didn't care very much about me and when I was picked up by "Animal Control" and taken to the pound... well, he didn't really give a hoot about me and just left me there, even though he must have known that I might not make it out alive! This hurt my feelings but the super-nice people at the pound worked hard to make sure I had a safe place to go, where I'd have more time to find a great home. So I found myself joining Happy Dogs Rescue, and now the rest of my (great!) life will begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, it's not the fault of the pound's volunteers and employees that I ran out of time there... it's the stupid people who don't care for their pets properly and love and keep them for their whole lives who are to blame. If only those people were more responsible and loving, then sweet dogs like me - and cats - wouldn't wind UP in the pound in the first place! But enough of my rantings. That's all behind me now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that I just found out that I have something called "heartworms." It's a serious problem and I need to get some pretty expensive medical treatment so that I can be healthy and then be up for adoption. I hope that people will see my gorgeous blue eyes and my sweet and loving personality and will want to help me get the treatment. If enough kind and caring folks will donate to Happy Dogs Rescue specifically to help &lt;B&gt;me&lt;/B&gt; get the treatment, then I will be on my way, and I'll be forever grateful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I'm rid of the scary heartworms, I'll be looking for a home who knows what Huskies are like and won't let me ever get out loose or lost. I'd really do best with a backyard fence that is 6' tall since that is too high for me to climb and get over; that kind of fence would keep me safe when I am outside for potty breaks! And because I do have this luscious fluffy fur coat, my new family will need to understand that I need regular brushing and not mind the shedding that I will do, a couple times a year or more. I promise to make it worth your while... I really am a wonderful girl who just deserves a chance. I've quickly learned how to be "housetrained" and I walk really well on a leash. Hardly any pulling, which is pretty amazing since most Siberians really &lt;B&gt;love&lt;/B&gt;to pull! I like other dogs, especially dogs my size, but I don't really care for cats. Please think about me and consider giving me a great home, or helping me get my heartworm treatment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;AND Introducing... ALVIN!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RmWPnqHhavI/AAAAAAAAADw/T49TTB5OINY/s1600-h/AlvinFacePF.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RmWPnqHhavI/AAAAAAAAADw/T49TTB5OINY/s320/AlvinFacePF.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072618466786241266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RmWPnqHhawI/AAAAAAAAAD4/SumHuVw8Nxo/s1600-h/AlvinPF1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RmWPnqHhawI/AAAAAAAAAD4/SumHuVw8Nxo/s320/AlvinPF1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072618466786241282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;Hey there! My name is Alvin and I too am a Siberian Husky.&lt;/B&gt; I came from the same small-town dog pound that Powder did, but I didn't know her until we met there. My previous owners let me run all over town and since I'm a young male, of COURSE I got into trouble, haha. I just couldn't help it! The Animal Control officer picked me up when I was trying to make "friends" with a sexy German Shepherd, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I wound up behind bars for awhile, and was lucky that the volunteers there helped me move out to this great rescue. Now I've been neutered and had all my "shots" and also lucky for me, I do not have heartworms, like my poor friend Powder does. So I'm ready for a new home any time now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like a home who is used to Huskies, especially ornery, feisty ones! Yup, I'm kind of rowdy and active because I'm such a youngster, barely a year old in fact. But I'm fun-loving and I like other dogs and love to romp and play, both inside and outside. (I prefer air conditioning on these hot summer days though!) I need to learn not to pull so hard on the leash, but it's just my instinct to pull, pull, pull! But I'm smart and I'm learning quickly. I love to eat and my foster mom says that is a great thing since I can get "treats" when I do good things! Like Powder, I too am an escape artist sometimes and I can climb or jump or otherwise figure my way out of chain-link fence situations. What I really need is a wood privacy fence, that is 6' tall. I know there are a lot of these out there because I've seen them when I was out running the streets. Maybe someday soon I'll get to see the inside of those nice backyards and have safe outdoor time with my new family... I sure hope so. And then maybe I could hang out on the couch and watch a movie. Boy, that would be the best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm ready now to find some people to really love and adore me. I had all my "vet stuff" done and I even got a microchip so that I can never get lost again! If you'd like a fantastic and handsome guy like me, please drop me a note at the Happy Dogs Rescue email address. I'll be sure to write you back and arrange a time for us to meet!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-1381732118978471826?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/1381732118978471826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=1381732118978471826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/1381732118978471826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/1381732118978471826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/06/introducing.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RmWPnaHhatI/AAAAAAAAADg/UgR8iRrnuAo/s72-c/PowderFacePF.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-6477839932149111968</id><published>2007-05-02T12:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-02T13:05:43.953-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RjjtxgC8kJI/AAAAAAAAADI/4dF3HH5bZqg/s1600-h/DudleyTrickBlog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Sorry we've not posted for so long; we were really busy eating, pooping, growing and doing fun puppy things, like chewing on giant 4-foot long sticks! There are 4 of us puppies still left who are looking for homes... Bashful (the Stickmeister), Happy, Sleepy, and our one brother, Sneezy. We hope we are lucky like our other 3 siblings who were adopted and now have great families to love them. We're fun, we're friendly, and we're smart AND sweet... and we want to be &lt;B&gt;loved&lt;/B&gt; by you! Send us a note if you'd like to make our wishes come true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RiWi1snak-I/AAAAAAAAAA4/9aV7J5tHdJc/s1600-h/Sleepy%26HappyBlog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RiWi1snak-I/AAAAAAAAAA4/9aV7J5tHdJc/s400/Sleepy%26HappyBlog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054625200186495970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-2553035295751582226?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/2553035295751582226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=2553035295751582226' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/2553035295751582226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/2553035295751582226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/04/hello-there-sorry-weve-not-posted-for.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RiWitMnak9I/AAAAAAAAAAw/jDs7AST_qJ4/s72-c/BashfulStickBlog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-1844948818701623525</id><published>2007-03-22T17:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-22T15:58:16.177-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RgMDnrxWMxI/AAAAAAAAAAk/q_ilVb2QSRA/s1600-h/StanleyBlog1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RgMDnrxWMxI/AAAAAAAAAAk/q_ilVb2QSRA/s400/StanleyBlog1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5044879987884569362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley is a piece of work. A fantastic, giant, wiggly, boyish piece of work! A stray (or dumped?) purebred Black Lab, he was found &lt;B&gt;in&lt;/B&gt; the driveway of one of our volunteers on a recent Friday morning. Wagging his tail... well, more like... wagging his &lt;B&gt;whole body,&lt;/B&gt; he seemed perfectly happy to be there, and ready to come in the house for breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley is a very large Lab, probably in the 90 lb + range, and he is &lt;B&gt;very&lt;/B&gt; puppyish. His pea-sized brain can engage when he really tries (haha) but for the most part, he is just a big goofus kind of kid. All "heart" for sure though, and he is eager and happy to share his affection. With some gentle guidance and training, he will surely be a wonderful lifelong companion for a very lucky family. Stanley seems to know how to play "fetch" and will even bring a ball back and drop it for you... did someone teach him this? Or does he just naturally retrieve? We'll never know, and he isn't talking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why dogs like Stanley wind up being dumped out in the country is a frustrating and annoying mystery to rescue people like us.  What we do know for sure is that someone didn't care much for him, as he isn't neutered (but will be, &lt;B&gt;soon!&lt;/B&gt;) and no one is apparently looking for him as a "lost dog." It is fairly likely that someone got him as a cute fuzzy black puppy and didn't take into account how active and wild most young "adolescent" Labs usually are, and how big he would get. It's likely that no one ever taught him some basic manners or took him to "puppy classes." And once grown into a big clumsy "teenager" dog of more than 90 lbs, he may have lost some of his "charm" with the previous owners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley needs a lot of exercise and a lot of human attention. Labs are actually &lt;B&gt;very smart&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;very loyal&lt;/B&gt; dogs; they just need some help and "direction" from their human families, especially in their younger years. They crave attention and need adequate exercise or else they will probably use that energy for projects that will not be appreciated by their humans. Left to his own devices, or stuck out in a backyard all alone for hours on end, Stanley will definitely get into trouble and/or escape the yard and run off in search of some fun. He simply wants to be with people and he seems to enjoy the company of other large dogs as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley would fair well with a basic obedience class (or two... he is eager to learn!) But what he needs most is a chance. A family who will really &lt;B&gt;commit&lt;/B&gt; to him for the rest of his life, and honor that commitment. Dogs are not disposable creatures. They should not be left out at the curb like yesterday's trash or "recycled" in the newspaper with a "FREE TO GOOD HOME" advertisement. Stanley may have been dropped off out in the country or he may have escaped or run away from a negligent home... no matter what... he deserves much better.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-1844948818701623525?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/1844948818701623525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=1844948818701623525' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/1844948818701623525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/1844948818701623525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/03/stanley-is-piece-of-work.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RgMDnrxWMxI/AAAAAAAAAAk/q_ilVb2QSRA/s72-c/StanleyBlog1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-7063593759935487439</id><published>2007-02-27T09:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-27T10:11:12.020-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/ReRxyUQs-kI/AAAAAAAAAAY/POA8UCyGvjk/s1600-h/JigsawSitBlog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/ReRxyUQs-kI/AAAAAAAAAAY/POA8UCyGvjk/s320/JigsawSitBlog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036275392553220674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hello there, my name is &lt;B&gt;Jigsaw.&lt;/B&gt; My brother Uno and I are the last 2 puppies still available for adoption from a litter of 11. We'll be a year old in May, so we're still young and playful, even though we are pretty "big" to be considered puppies now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure why I haven't been adopted yet. Because I am definitely &lt;B&gt;sweet, loving and beautiful.&lt;/B&gt; I guess I'm a little shy sometimes at Petco, but if you can just give me a little bit of time to get to know you, then I come out of my shell. I really love other dogs and would almost rather play with them than with humans sometimes. So I'm looking for a family to adopt me that has at least one other dog to be my "buddy" that way. I'll settle in and adjust more easily, &lt;B&gt;and&lt;/B&gt; be happier, if I have a dog brother or sister in my new home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I'm in a foster home with several other dogs and it is great! I've already figured out this "crate training" thing and I haven't even had one "accident" inside the house. At first things like the TV and vacuum scared me a little bit, but now I'm used to them and am more relaxed. I even tried to get up on the couch the other day, which is OK with my foster mom... I think that is pretty cool! I really like to go on walks and I'm glad that winter is almost over so I can have more fun outdoor time like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm ready and just waiting for a forever family of my own. I'm already spayed and all that good stuff and I weigh around 70 lbs or so... I'm just a big lap girl, really. If you think you might like to meet me and invite me to live with you, just drop me a note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;Love, JIGSAW&lt;/B&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-7063593759935487439?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/7063593759935487439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=7063593759935487439' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/7063593759935487439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/7063593759935487439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/02/hello-there-my-name-is-jigsaw.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/ReRxyUQs-kI/AAAAAAAAAAY/POA8UCyGvjk/s72-c/JigsawSitBlog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-4246664671675439982</id><published>2007-02-13T09:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-13T10:17:44.155-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RdH8Tk5PJhI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gbX_Cax1twc/s1600-h/PumpkinForBlog**.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RdH8Tk5PJhI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gbX_Cax1twc/s320/PumpkinForBlog**.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031079672001013266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;"When a problem comes along, you must lick it!"   - Pumpkin &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK it's me Pumpkin, and that's pretty much my motto in life. If a problem comes along, you must lick it! Don't gripe and complain and carry on like a big whiny baby... just lick it! Get on with things and &lt;B&gt;make&lt;/B&gt; your life better! I've certainly had my share of "down and out" times but I forged on... and look at me now. The picture of health and happiness! Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably have read about me when my little varmints... uh, I mean "precious puppies" blogged their messages below. Yeah, I didn't know any better and I got knocked up last winter. Don't worry... now that I'm rescued, you can rest assured that &lt;B&gt;I&lt;/B&gt; won't be pumping out any more critters! I am a &lt;B&gt;super-duper&lt;/B&gt; mom though, and my 7 pups are all doing very well and making new friends, in their quests to find loving families of their own. My work with them is mostly done, although my smart, sweet and &lt;B&gt;very loving personality&lt;/B&gt; helps them know how to "be" when they grow up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one thing though that I do not like one bit... and that is SNOW. &lt;B&gt;I HATE SNOW!&lt;/B&gt; Probably because when I was homeless (and pregnant), I had to live outside and it was horrible. So very cold and awful. The wind hurt my face and chilled me to the bone! So now when I see snow outside, I really really really don't want to go out there! Just keep me inside, all safe and warm on my blankies, thank you very much. This morning when my foster mom opened the door to take me out to potty, the snow drifts were taller than me! Huh? &lt;B&gt;NO CHANCE IN H*LL&lt;/B&gt; of getting me outside in that! HA! Well, my foster mom showed me, she just lifted me up and &lt;B&gt;carried me&lt;/B&gt; to a better place in the yard. But you can bet that I was quick about my "business" and hurried back inside to my blankies and breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, if you too prefer being inside and snuggled up on cold winter days, maybe you are a great match for me. Why don't you send me an email, and we'll see what happens?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, PUMPKIN&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-4246664671675439982?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/4246664671675439982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=4246664671675439982' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/4246664671675439982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/4246664671675439982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/02/when-problem-comes-along-you-must-lick.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VQoY-yaROL0/RdH8Tk5PJhI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gbX_Cax1twc/s72-c/PumpkinForBlog**.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-117056343715699990</id><published>2007-02-03T20:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-03T20:30:37.170-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/1600/532756/DopeyBlogLaptop1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/400/171988/DopeyBlogLaptop1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;OK.

I'm a very handsome boy, as you can tell from my picture! I was pretty mad at the world and especially at humans at first. I mean, who would deliberately leave our poor mama dog out in the dead of winter, cold and all alone, and pregnant? It's snowy and icy and freezing awful in the winter! What kind of mean and stupid person lets that happen? Never mind that our mama never should have been pregnant in the first place. Of course I am happy to be here and be in a safe place (now)... but heck, our mama is just a mixed breed girl who &lt;B&gt;should&lt;/B&gt; have been spayed long ago. Grrrr!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're just lucky I guess. Our mama found shelter in a little outdoor garage and that's where we were born. At least we had some protection from the wind. She is such a good mama! We really love her! And now that we are all &lt;B&gt;safe and together&lt;/B&gt; with the rescue people, life is much much better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to a pretty neat place last weekend called "Petco." The rescue people called it an "adoption event." There were so many people there and they all wanted to hug us and tell us how precious and perfect we are. Which sure made it a fun day! My siblings and I (and our mama) got to make a whole bunch of really &lt;B&gt;nice new human friends&lt;/B&gt; who promised that our lives will be happy from now on. That's darn great news! I got to chew on some shoestrings (that's fun!!!) and play with some new toys. I got so tired that I had to even take a nap right there in the middle of everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, now I know that humans can be "good" and they do really care about us. I like making new friends and I can't wait to meet my new forever family, who will &lt;B&gt;LOVE ME&lt;/B&gt; for the rest of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;See ya later!&lt;br /&gt;Love, Doc&lt;/B&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-117036553839399654?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/117036553839399654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=117036553839399654' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/117036553839399654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/117036553839399654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/02/am-i-cutest-puppy-ever-or-what-hey-its.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-116992576639481567</id><published>2007-01-27T11:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-27T14:26:10.443-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/1600/712261/Bashful1em.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/320/936066/Bashful1em.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;Hi it's me Bashful.&lt;/B&gt; I'm sort of a bashful girl, thus the name. Oh, and also 'cause we're named after the Seven Dwarfs. Not 'cause we &lt;B&gt;are&lt;/B&gt; dwarfs or anything like that though, silly. I intend to be a fully regular-sized kinda girl when I grow up. For now I am a little black snuggly pupster. My ears stand up kinda funny and my foster dad calls them "bat ears." I think he is just plain goofy but he is really nice to all of us so I guess that is OK. I am pretty shy most of the time but maybe I can grow out of that as I get bigger. It would have been better if someone had really loved us and cared for us when we were first born, 'stead of leaving us all alone, huddled down in that cold nasty garage. At least we did have someplace out of the wind, 'cause it's pretty bad to be in the cold wind and snow and ice and all of that scary stuff. And we did have each other, and our mama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're really really glad we were rescued though, that is for sure. Now we all live &lt;B&gt;indoors,&lt;/B&gt; where it's warm and bright and we have soft things to lay on. Our nice foster mom even cleans up all of our messes! Which is extra good since us puppies sure can make a mess, haha. We also have fun toys that make squeaky noises and tasty foods and treats and fresh water that isn't even frozen! It's definitely a better life for us now. We all sure hope that we find good homes with families who love dogs. And who will make us part of the family and have us inside. We need &lt;B&gt;lots&lt;/B&gt; of attention and &lt;B&gt;loving&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;good stuff in life,&lt;/B&gt; to make up for our first icky 6 weeks in that cold dark garage. Anyway, it's time for me to take a nap so I better go. Maybe later one of my brothers or sisters will get to come say "Hi" to you too.

I wanted to give you an update about my &lt;B&gt;fabulous new home&lt;/B&gt; and life. I was adopted from Happy Dogs Rescue 7 weeks ago and have a new Mom and brother Joe, an 8 year old chocolate lab. I am making myself right at home with my new family. They are just &lt;B&gt;awesome!&lt;/B&gt; Brother Joe is adjusting but deep down he knows how good it is to have a new canine buddy around. I like to taunt him with tug of war and toy games and he steps right in. I enjoy my big backyard where I can roam and check out the squirrels and birds and the neighbors cats. I love going on long walks through my new neighborhood and become acquainted with new things. I end every walk directing us back to my new house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first Christmas was great! We went out of town for the first time and I was wonderful, if I do say so myself! I got to roam and walk in new fun places and play with my Mom's nephews. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also wanted to mention what a great day I had yesterday. I got in the car with my new family and we went to PetCo to see my first "mom", Michelle, the person that saved me from who knows what. Michelle was there with my brother Uno and sister Jigsaw who are still looking for homes. My siblings looked great and it was like old home again! I also got to visit with the other nice volunteers who used to hold me on their laps and carry me around when I was a tiny fuzzy puppy. (I'm not so tiny any more!) I hope that someone recognizes what &lt;B&gt;great dogs&lt;/B&gt; and companions Uno and Jigsaw are, and will take them home like me! They also liked my new brother Joe.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's about all for now. I'll keep checking in and I hope that everyone at Happy Dogs Rescue is doing well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Hank&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-116827725359151462?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/116827725359151462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=116827725359151462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116827725359151462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116827725359151462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/01/hi-everyone-my-name-is-hank-formerly.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-116793120947972081</id><published>2007-01-04T09:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-08T09:37:53.680-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/1600/511790/CiderBlog1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/320/415854/CiderBlog1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; My name is Cider and I'm a new kid on the block at Happy Dogs Rescue. Just a week ago, my "owner" took me for a ride in Kansas City. Except they made me ride in the &lt;B&gt;back&lt;/B&gt; of the pick up truck, which is &lt;B&gt;very scary&lt;/B&gt; and &lt;B&gt;very dangerous!&lt;/B&gt; I didn't want to be there, but I had no choice. I was starting to relax though and was looking around to see where we were going. Suddenly, my people stopped the truck, dumped me out on the street, and drove away. I didn't understand what had happened. Weren't they coming back for me? What was wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't a part of town that I knew. There were buildings and cement and strange smells and loud noises. But then a really nice man came over to me. He said that he had seen what happened and that he would help me. He said he was really sorry that I had been "dumped," but I don't know what that really means. I just know that I was sad and a little confused. But this man helped me go home to his house, when his wife came to get me. There were other dogs there who told me everything would be "OK" and that I had been "rescued!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family told Happy Dogs Rescue about me and I was able to join the group right away. Everyone has been really nice to me so far and I've made a few great friends, both furry and human. I think I like these "rescue" people a lot more than I liked my old life. My new friends said that I'll go to the "vet" soon, whatever that means, and then I can find a new forever home, to &lt;B&gt;really love me&lt;/B&gt; like I deserve. But for now I am safe and happy. A big thanks to the man and his wife who helped me get off the street and to safety. I don't know where I would have wound up, but it sure could have been bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a pretty big girl, around 29" tall. I don't know how much I weigh but my rescue friends said probably 80-90 lbs. They told me that I might be a "Pointer/Setter mix," but no one really knows for sure. I just know that I'm a &lt;B&gt;really good girl&lt;/B&gt; who deserves a good life! I definitely love being indoors on some soft blankies, and I already know that I'm supposed to do my "business" when I'm outside in the yard. I like running around and stretching my long legs, and I like to chase a ball or a stick of someone will throw it for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to meet you all soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, CIDER&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-116793120947972081?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/116793120947972081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=116793120947972081' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116793120947972081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116793120947972081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-name-is-cider-and-im-new-kid-on.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-116770899207856870</id><published>2007-01-01T19:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-01T19:36:32.090-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/1600/294995/UnoCutePF.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2122/3436/320/794474/UnoCutePF.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course it will be a much &lt;B&gt;happier&lt;/B&gt; year if &lt;B&gt;I&lt;/B&gt; find a great, loving family to adopt me very soon! I'm not getting any younger, people! Seriously, am I a &lt;B&gt;handsome dude&lt;/B&gt;, or what? I'm very smart, nearly housetrained, and I am fantastic on a leash. Just let me show you how cool I am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Uno checking in, on New Year's Day 2007. We all stayed up very late last night with the disco ball spinning, listening to fun dance music and wearing our festive party pooch hats. I'm actually partial to the Bee Gees, but don't tell anyone! Our foster mom of course was in bed asleep by 10pm, she is a &lt;B&gt;total party pooper!&lt;/B&gt; But we canines had a really fun time. Angel got a little crazy with the dog biscuits and had to take a nap, and Macy thought her "singing voice" was the best thing &lt;B&gt;ever&lt;/B&gt;, so the party got a little wild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we all hope that the great dog-lovers out there will consider adopting a &lt;B&gt;rescue dog&lt;/B&gt; in 2007, to make it a &lt;B&gt;truly&lt;/B&gt; happy and wonderful new year. Hope to see you all soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, UNO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31631484-116770899207856870?l=happydogsrescue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/feeds/116770899207856870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31631484&amp;postID=116770899207856870' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116770899207856870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31631484/posts/default/116770899207856870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://happydogsrescue.blogspot.com/2007/01/happy-new-year-of-course-it-will-be.html' title=''/><author><name>happydog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16887434249440103240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631484.post-116741432974149220</id><published>2006-12-29T09:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T12:04:52.616-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Well the time just got away from us but we're still here and doing great! Lincoln got his muddy paws on the laptop last summer so we couldn't get online for awhile. And do you know how hard it is to get dog DROOL out of a keyboard? Big Ol' Muddy Paws did get adopted though so he's a lucky and HAPPY dog now, indeed! Out of the litter of 11 puppies, Uno and Jigsaw are the only two BIG kids left who are looking for homes. (Please see their new fabulous photos on our big website here: &lt;a href="http://www.happydogsrescue.com" target="_blank"&gt;Happy Dogs Rescue&lt;/a&gt; )  Ralphie, Dudley, Macy, Angel and Louise are just a few of our other smart and sweet furballs who are still needing great homes. We wish we'd all be adopted soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we hope that everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas and we wish you a very Happy New Year.

We at Happy Dogs Rescue realize that "some" animal experts and behaviorists warn against "humanizing" our furry friends. We don't want to suggest that our (adorable, highly intelligent, creative) adoptable dogs and pups are actually little "people" in fur suits... precious and smart as they may be. That said, we thought it would be fun to let our dogs and puppies "voice" their own activities and daily happenings, and write directly to YOU, their adoring public. Besides, if we didn't allow this, the little critters promised to bite our hair, kick us in the skins and pee in our shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fondly,&lt;br /&gt;The Happy Dogs Rescue (Human) Gang&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello to all the puppy loverz,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are the PUPPEEZ and we have stolen Mom Michelle's laptop to send you a note. We are growing really really fast &amp;amp; we sumtimes hear Mom Michelle muttering things that sound like "Gigantic" and "Humongous" and "Hugest Piles Of..." but we R not really sure what she means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also really really LOVE water and we especially like to get IN the water and get our paws and bellies ALL wet and then get on Mom Michelle or anyone we can. It is really really fun to wipe our paws on people. ANd especially if after we get our paws all wet, if we can find sum dirt to root around in. And then we wipe them on people and jump on their legs and laps. It is really really FUN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scrabble is so fluffy that she soaks up the water like a big fluffy sponge. She can hold a gallon of water in her fur. Just ask her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we started to learn how to wear collars and walk on a "leash". It was pretty funny and Mom Michelle's face was all red by the time we finished. (And she only took 4 of us out, so she better give everyone a turn soon.) Lincoln did really GOOD on the leash but Uno was the best. He put on the collar and leash and he started GOING GOING GOING. He was so good he even got to walk on the gravel road for a little bit with Mom Michelle. The girls cried and squalored and squealed like little baby pigs (don't tell them we said that) but&lt;br /&gt;they weren't as brave as the boys were. Jigsaw was pretty good, but Lego was sort of afraid at first. Which is funny since SHE is the one who is so crazy and wants to play FETCH all the time. Sometimes Lego&lt;br /&gt;would rather play with toys and play FETCH than eat! She is crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANyway, Mom Michelle did tell us that maybe we could start a Happy Dogs Blog where we could make our own messages to the world and post our very own photos. And then people and other happy dogs out there&lt;br /&gt;could write back to us. Maybe Uncle Webmaster Brad could figure out something where we could do that online.
