My Dogs Rule

Did you know that more than 4 million dogs wind up homeless each year? To help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs, Pedigree created The Pedigree® Adoption Drive.

For this post & every other one posted by 12am ET tonight, Pedigree® will donate a bag of food to nationwide shelters. It’s simple: Write a post, help a dog.



My own dogs were all once homeless. It will be 10 years next month since Little Guy joined our family. We found him at the East Valley Shelter in Los Angeles. He was sick and a mess, but cleaned up pretty well. We don't know his history--he was found wondering the mean streets, but didn't seem to have been treated very well. I think he's glad we took him in.

We rescued both Rusty and Honey from groups who had gotten them out of shelters. Rusty was a day away from euthanasia and Honey was abandoned while pregnant, as the rescuers were surprised to find a new litter of pups when they pulled her from her cage. Rusty had another home before us and was a "terrible dog," per that owner. Anyone who has met Rusty, a registered Therapy Dog, will tell you that he is the opposite. He has been a welcome addition to our family for the past 9+ years.

Honey is the newest member of our pack and has lived with us for almost 5 months. She is a complete spaz and completely lovable. Mischievous yes, but a quick learner too.

Summer Days, Driftin' Away

The summer, no the year, has really flown by. I was a little shocked to see that it's been nearly two months since I've even posted here. July was a exceptionally busy month and I think I'm still recovering a bit. Lately, I feel a little like my dog Honey. We say that she has two speeds. Either she's super active, jumping here to there, basically being a complete spaz, or she plops over on her side and takes a nap. Yep, that's what I've been doing. Work, work, work, play, play, play, and then nap. And maybe take another nap. What?

The main event in July, as it has been for oh-so-many years now, was San Diego Comic-Con, of course. Enjoy some of my photos while I get back to being busy, busy, busy. Or napping.
