It is difficult to be scary when you are so cute *sigh*
I love this dog so much!
Oh Max! I miss you orange kitty.

Amanda and Abby have been trying to teach me how to do winged eyeliner...cat eyes. I don't get it. But they do it beautifully, and it looks so pretty on them.
This Beagle is AS beautiful as my daughters. (That is saying something!) He appears to have had the cat eye look down since birth! Beagle, you are such a trendsetter!

ABBY AND ALLY AND MAX AND MILKSHAKE
Dog was in for his wellness care. When I finished writing his record and came into the treatment room to see if the team needed help with his heartworm test (They did not. They are so awesome.) they all yelled, "Finch, take a picture!" So I took a picture of their beautiful selves drawing blood from Dog for a heartworm test.
"Not of us," they said. They showed me Dog's tag...
Oh no! Caught me out lookin for bitches. Call Dad.
Dog's Mom, who had brought him was pretty soft spoken, and just smiled when they told her how much they loved Dog's tag.
We've checked every dog tag since, but they've all just had names and phone numbers. *sigh*

Taysia Blue Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute Rescue - one of my favorite groups in the world - recently rescued these three adorable babies! They rarely get pups in - usually it is big gorgeous artic dogs, which I also love, but how cute are these guys?
Dewey (front, red), Huey (middle, white) and Louie (back, tri)
Their names are Huey, Dewey and Louie.
This picture is from Day 2 after being rescued. They were six weeks old. They were malnourished and dehydrated. Two had seizures and one could only walk backwards. Thank goodness benign neglect worked so well - I could deal with baby seizures, but the walking backwards truly stumped me! They all figured out their puppy lives, and are happy and healthy today.
They have all three been adopted, but if you are looking for a Husky or Malamute, this is the group of awesomes you need to talk to!

This is a temporary tattoo from Amanda. I loved it more than I thought I would. I am still deciding on a real tattoo. I would need to wear long sleeves because we cannot have visible tattoos at work, but I would not mind that.

This is a flower out of Pam's garden. It is an alum. It is so pretty!
Our cousin Bailey Everingham has been staying with us some this summer. We love her so much! I've always loved Bailey - and her family, but lately I have been more obsessed than normal with Doodles. It was fun to have one in the house! She is so sweet.
Bailey was a good sport about having her hair done by Abby.
Hanging out in the family room
Abby and Bailey, wake up! It is time to go to bed! zzz
Guest Post from Laura Kenyon with pictures of her beautiful dog Lola!
Thank you Laura! This is such an important message! And your dog is GORGEOUS!
People think you have to go to a breeder if you seek an unusual breed. My Standard Xoloitzcuintli adopted from the Nebraska Humane Society would argue with that. We'd be happy to come visit you if you've never met a fifty five Mexican Hairless Dog! She isn't great with strangers, but, she warms up!
This is Lola, aka: Lolita-PITA the love of my life and Pain In My Ass!!
And she is my velcro dog...
Remember, if you want a specific breed, they ALL come through the shelters. Be patient. Don't support breeders out of impatience! Or, only support a breeder that will allow you to see the parents and living situation. Breed-specific rescues will help with transport. Even if they don't, it's cheaper than buying a pup from a crappy store that gets their pups from mills!!!!!!!!!
Adopt. Don't Shop!!!
