Fun Things To Do With Your Pup Link Love Project! 2007-08-17 05:00:00 There are so many fun things you can do with your pups.

, for us to all have a great list of activities!Mum and I like to go canoing when we get a chance. We drive north about 45 minutes to a place that rents canoes, they transport us up the White River about 2 or so miles by school bus (and I do pretty well in that bus, by the way), then Mum puts on her life jacket herself and puts my Ruff Wear life jacket on me and we are off! I'm really good about staying in the canoe, so Mum can paddle us along. We stop along shore along the way for snacks and exploring and wading in the water. About two hours later we pull up to where our car is! It's great fun, you should try it sometime, makes for a great weekend afternoon!If you participated in my Fruits and Veggies Link Love Project, you know what to do! If no

Meet Luther! 2007-08-31 05:40:00 Luther was surrendered to a shelter when he was only 3 months old because he wasn't quite "perfect." It's not known whether his "defect" came as a result of an injury or he was born this way. Regardless of the origin, his handicap doesn't seem to slow him down one bit nor stop him from living life to the fullest.Luther's back legs don't seem to get their signals quite right. They act as if they were "joined" together. Luther can walk, run, go up and down steps, jump up, do just about anything any "normal" dog can do. But when he does these things, he looks more like a "bunny" than a dog because both legs act as a "team." He has had a full neurological evaluation and testing. His condition is stable at this point and has not changed in over 2 months. If anything, he continues to get stronger every day.Luther is otherwise a perfectly healthy and normal puppy. He is very sweet and affectionate, loves to cuddle up and be with his human friends. We believe he will do best in a home wit Read more:Luther

Meet Charlie! 2007-08-28 05:34:00 Charlie is a charming young brittany boy who was turned into the humane society for basically "being a puppy". Yes, he does have a high activity level, and may get into a little bit of mischief (given the chance), but none of his behaviors are outside the realm of a normal brittany puppy. In fact, his foster home thinks he might have the edge on most puppies with his good looks and silly personality.He is a "conversationalist" - he likes to talk to you to get your attention. He is not a barker, but makes fun little vocalizations that add to his charm.Charlie loves to play with other dogs, and would really like a playmate. He is good with kids and other animals.

Little brother was adopted, but Buzz is another one of those guys who never could see the sense of letting humans touch him.He's utterly beautiful, sweet-natured, and cooperative. Takes treats from the staffs' hands, plays happily with the other dogs and sometimes joyously romps alone with his big rope toy. Buzz lives inside and outside, as he wishes, but even after 2 years, if the staff sneaks in a light touch, he leaps sideways! So, of course, he's not on the adoption roster.
