Christmas Gathering!

Hi everyone!

So sorry for the long silence...but Mom says her project thingy has finished (for now!) so she has a little more time to help me blog! I've LOADS to blog about, so hopefully I can get through all my little 'happenings' by blogging every day...*grins* First up for the day is a pre-Christmas gathering with some of my Schnauzer friends last Sunday! We had it at a pretty park called Desa Parkcity:

Me reaching our destination and taking a break...my paws got wet from the rain (it was drizzling when we arrived, but then it stopped...YAYY!)

This is Toro...his owner Jason is the organizer for the gathering! *grins*

This is Max, a totally cute puppy! He so reminds me to Colin with his bursts of energy!

Another totally cute puppy called Mocha...LOVE the sweet smile!

Then more doggies came, and we said Hi many MANY times! LOL!

The park overlooked some nice lake...Mom didn't do this justice! It's so pretty!

Mom also made some treats to share with the other doggies...peanut butter cups! She made me balance mine first though. GRRR!!

It started to drizzle again after a while, so we all moved to some shade...there I met Kenji, the white Schnauzer!

Here's another cutie pie that just arrived!

Saying Hi to each other...*grins*

This is Bebe...Kenji's (the white Schnauzer, not our Kenji *wink*) big brother!

I also met a cute and friendly long-coated Chihuahua!

After that, it REALLY started to pour, so all of us (owners and doggies included) huddled into that little shade and waited for it to stop...Mom didn't manage to take any more photos after that because she was carrying me to prevent me from getting wet *grins* Me, I was enjoying every moment of it...hehe! We also exchanged gifts (there was a gift exchange session for us doggies) and I got some really cool treats! *licks lips*

Okies, that's about it for the gathering! I've received SOOO many Christmas cards for the exchange this year so I will post about that next...stay tuned! *wink*

Quickie Before The Biggie...

Haha, I know that sounds super weird! Anyways, just a little quick note to say that I will be AWOL (yet again!) for about 2 weeks or so...apparently, Mom was involved in a big project with a VERY tight deadline to meet at her workplace, so it means less blogging time for me. *sigh*

But not to fret, I will be back to post in time for Christmas (paws firmly crossed!) and I have received a SPECTACULAR award from Siku too! Mom will also be helping me to design a Christmas card for the Christmas Card Exchange! YAYY! We still have loads of cards from our printout at the last exchange, so we hope you won't mind us sending it again...waste not, right? *wink* I'll be sending the cards to those who I have not sent before by mail, and the new card will be an ecard...*grins*

Okay, that's about it for now...till then, I will miss you guys!

Mari, Puppies and The Shelter Pet Project

After watching that heart-wrenching video of the mother dog and her 3 pups from my previous post, Mom decided she would go searching for the movie to see what happened next. It was a happy ending after all! (Go here to read about the movie)

Mom also managed to *cough*download*cough* the movie, and so we'll be watching it tonight! YAYY! (psst...if any of you want to do the same, please do let us know and we'll pass the links on *wink* I know it's not very good to do this, but it's impossible to find that movie here, so we had to resort to uhh...not-so-good methods to watch it)

**************************************************************

The other day, Mom got a very cool email from a nice lady about a new campaign running in the aim of increasing the rate of shelter pet adoption in the US. They do this by dispelling myths about these lovable animals. This campaign is called the Shelter Pet Project (SPP) and is sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States, Maddie's Fund, and the Ad Council! Check out the very cute and PAWSOME ad here:



Besides that, they have a very cool website too to tell us more about the campaign, how we can get involved, as well as the shelter doggies & kitties who are looking for a furever home! Here are some screenshots of what the website looks like:

The main page...with a cute animation of adorable doggies!

The Adopt-A-Gram page, where you can send messages to friends or family and spread the word about this pawsome project! Who knows, they might just be looking for a new member to their home...*wink*

And Pet Personals...where you can fill in a questionnaire to match a needy dog or cat your own home and lifestyle! How cool is that? *grins*

So, if you are looking for a pet, or you know of someone who is looking for a pet, how about giving shelter doggies or kitties a chance? They so deserve to have loving homes like yours and mine! Although I am not from a shelter, I am so blessed to be able to find my home...some other doggies or kitties were not so lucky, so if we could, let's all give them a second chance at finding a loving home!

A Very Touching Story

This got Mom leaking big time....she says it's a true testament to dog's unconditional love for their humans. Even at times of need, they never waver in their loyalty and love to their owners. She hopes this would never happen to another family or ours, for that matter.
