Couch Nap

I think 75% of the pictures I take of Mickey are when he is sleeping/laying down. It is just so adorable, I can't help myself! He loves to lay on the back of the couch or the arm to look outside the window. It is also just a comfy place for him to sleep when he isn't 'on duty' watching the courtyard. I like how completely relaxed he is, with legs flopping off the side and head warmed by the sun.

Where is your favorite place to nap? Do you like it dark and cool or warm and sunny like Mickey?

Halloween!

How did I miss Halloween??

We didn't get any trick or treaters at our door this year, but we did dress Mickey up for the holiday.

He was a dragon this year!
Grrrr, I'm a scary Mickeyasaurus!


Trick or Treat? Can I just get treat?

Oh good, there's a hood too. How to make this even more embarrassing..

That's it, I'm pooped. I'm going to just fall asleep now. Good night!

Abbey

I'm back with another adoptable doggie profile! Abbey was the second dog I helped transport this weekend.

She is a 6 month old puppy and is completely adorable. She weighs about 15 pounds and will continue to grow (but not too much more). She has that really nice soft puppy fur and loves to snuggle. She was very quiet with me, but I suspect she was tired from the long journey. I heard she is a pretty active puppy and needs lots of stimulation and play time to wear her out. She had to ride in a travel crate which she didn't really enjoy. She cried for about 10 minutes and tries to claw her way out of the crate. I tried to sing to her, but that didn't help calm her down. In fact, she didn't settle down until after I stopped! What a critic...

Her petfinder profile is available here:

Puppy Bowl VII

We are having a party today to watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet !

The fun starts at 3pm (eastern) and features lots of cute puppies and a kitten half-time show. Pele will be here as Mickey's guest, so we'll get to observe our very own live dog show.

Seneca

Today I participated in an animal transport for Homeward Trails. You might remember that we adopted Mickey through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. I decided to donate my time to help other doggies find homes of their own.
This afternoon I met up with a large passenger van that was filled with crates carrying dogs. Some of the transported animals will be taken as far north as New Jersey! There were probably half a dozen cars taking the dogs to various rescues in the area or helping take the animals further along on their journey.

Today I will tell you a little about one of the doggies I transported for Homeward Trails.

Her name is Seneca, and she is a beagle mix. She is two years old and was very sweet. As you can see, I had her restrained by a dog seat belt harness. She sat exactly like this, being very quiet for our entire 30 minute trip.
She was very friendly with the other dogs getting off the transport. She liked to sit on my lap and snuggle while we waited for her foster mom to come pick her up. If you would like to read her petfinder profile, it can be accessed here:
