Saturday Survey: What’s It Take to Get A Treat Around Here?
Hi! My name’s Penny Layne. You may as well go ahead & start singing the Beatles song – it’s all I ever hear.
Anyways, my mom, the Dog Lady, is off at the State Special Olympics Games with the boys, so I decided to take over the blog for t0day.
Here’s what I’m curious about. Mom keeps telling the boys to lay off the treats for me because I’m getting too fat. (As if!) Usually, I can get them to give me one anyways by standing up on my hind feet and begging, but that’s awful hard work with such a large belly – it throws off my balance.

Saturday Survey: Your Opinion of Shelter Sunday
For about the past year, I’ve been devoting Sundays to rescue dogs throughout the country. Working with the shelters and rescues listed on PetFinder’s Shelter Center, I’ve chosen one organization from each state and featured one of their adoptable dogs. I have no idea whether or not any of these featured dogs have since been adopted, but I figure the more people who see these dogs, the better odds they have. Although only one of the dogs in my house is a rescue, I feel like I have an obligation to help where I can.
Since I can’t measure the posts in terms of adoption (unless some of you want to write in & tell your adoption stories!), I’d like to know if you are enjoying reading about these rescued dogs. Should I go back through the list of states another time?
