Love Me Some Uggie

A “spokesdog?” You heard me right! Uggie, the now famous Jack Russell Terrier from “The Artist,” has teamed up with Nintendo to promote Nintendogs + Cats, for the Nintendo 3DS system. Uggie recently sat down with the folks at USA Today to participate in a Q&A. Check out what he had to say.

Run Free My Friend; Run Free!

Yesterday, my sister and her husband helped their furry friend cross over the Rainbow Bridge.  A handsome man, their baby and so much more, Edison (view more photos here) was loved and will surely be missed.

 

The Rainbow Bridge inspired by a Norse legend By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

VOTE NOW!

I’ve written before about the Purina/Kroger “Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart” campaign which donates money to animal welfare organizations across the country.  And I’m all for touting other campaigns that help raise awareness of and funds for other groups that help our four-legged friends.  Here’s one that recently crossed my inbox from the Pepsi Refresh Project … check it out and support a group near and dear to a family friend — Power Paws for Kids.  They could receive $5,000 if selected among the top 20 groups.  Vote daily!

Forgetful Blogger … With Reason!

Again, I’ve been lax in posting, but it’s all with good reason.  We’ve been trying to enjoy the summer (despite all the crazy Chicago weather).  Lil’ Leo has also been trying to prepare himself to be a big brother this October!

Gone Fishin’…

No I haven’t gone fishing, but admittedly took a bit of a hiatus from posting.  As I work back to finding just the right story to feature, here’s a couple recent animal tales that I stumbled upon.  LOVE THEM!!!

Dawgs vs. Huskies

Who will you choose as the final two NCAA teams – Butler & UConn — go head to head?  I love this championship in particular because of the mascots — Bulldogs and Huskies.  My preference in the animal world goes to the Huskies, but inside I’m cheering for the Butler Dawgs. (Oh, and hearing how English Bulldog mascot Blue II prepares for the game is great. He just struts his paws and puts his game face on.)

 

Either way … basketball has gone to the dogs this year!
