We’re into March Madness! There has been a lot going on, so let me see if I can remember all of it.<br /><br />On February 18th WAG presented the Walton Co. Fire Department with 20 sets of pet oxygen masks, enough for each fire station in the county. The masks work much better for pets…
Westminster who?
So a beagle won Westminster – the biggest dog show in the country. Like I care. Bloodlines are waaaaaay overrated. When are those snotty breeders going to wise up and let us All-American types into the ring? We’d run those yappy little yodelers all over the arena.<br /><br />But I digress. On the WAG front,…
Fixin’ and Finding Homes
Just thought you’d be interested in an update of our February events.<br /><br />”Operation Big Fix,” our spay/neuter project, has been very successful. We’ve done 9 surgeries since the flyers were distributed on February 2. WAG promised free s/n for the first 24 residents signed up from areas we canvassed. We’ve transported a few, others…
Dressed for Success
<div><div><div>Overall, I like humans. (Peeps, as I call them.) My Peeps are pretty good to me. We eat regularly, have occasional snacks, run in the field and roll in stinky stuff whenever we find it. Unfortunately, they’ve yet to figure out the benefits of those aromas and insist on bathing us afterwards. But still…</div><div><br /></div><div>By…
Maybe it was that persuasive AFLAC duck
<div>Next time you start a new job, don’t be surprised if your employer offers insurance for Fido and Fifi.</div><br /><div></div><div>According to Veterinary Pet Insurance, the largest pet insurance co., their corporate accounts are skyrocketing and nearly 15 percent of their business is now large employers.

I’m back, pen in paw
There’s been a loud silence on this blog. Why? Because I was indisposed.<br /><br />Incapacitated.<br /><br />Incarcerated.<br /><br />Imprisoned.<br /><br />Or, as humans say, at the kennel.<br /><br />Our peeps left town and deliberately left us behind. Packed up the Pedigree and carted us off in the family van. And there we sat for <strong><em>DAYS…
Meet Elvis
Just thought you’d like to meet Elvis, another happy story. He is now called Otis and has a great family with two kids to love. Otis was being photographed for the Sunday Tribune pet photo when his soon-to-be owners spotted him and fell in love. <img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155957975109034034″ style=”DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand;…
A Rousing Start
WAG’s first meeting of 2008 was an enthusiastic one! Some new members came out and the committees are rolling along. The Adoption committee will start off-site adoptions in February at Boss Brothers in Loganville – exact dates will be announced later.<br /><br />The Spay/Neuter committee also has big plans for February, offering spay/neuter services to…
Flea Free – Thanks to Hoover
Got fleas? Get a vacuum.<br /><br />It seems that researchers at Ohio State University have determined that sucking fleas up a vacuum tube causes their demise, what matter what stage of growth they are in. This is good news for some, not much benefit for others.<br /><br />Don’t think it will be much help to…
So much to do, so little time.
This blogging thing is tough. Lots of folks do it every day, but that’s just too much for me to keep up with. My schedule is too busy.<br /><br />Take yesterday, for example. I got up, had my morning Mike Bone, went outside and patrolled the property fenceline. We’ve got 22 acres, so that took…
A shelter story and Happy Howlidays!
It’s 40 degrees and finally feels like holiday weather. I have short hair and don’t particuarly like cold weather, but you’ve gotta admit Christmas feels better when frost is in the air.<br /><br />The New Year is fast approaching and there are some exciting plans afoot. WAG will be starting their education programs soon, teaching…
My Story
Before I tell you about anything else, let’s talk about me. After all, isn’t that what blogs are for?<br /><br />I’m a 5-year old authentic American Original canine Some people might call me a plain brown dog, but only if they’re idiots. I hate to brag, but am actually pretty smart. I’ve trained people to…
