I was so wrapped up in the Westminster Show last week, I now have lots of dog-related news to catch you up on. So, here’s a wrap-up of what popped into my e-mail over the past week or so.

Dog Devotions
I was in the drug store last night, picking up pain pills for a friend who had run over her own foot with her van (long story) when I came across a display of devotional books. One in particular caught my eye because it was related to dogs – of course!
The Incredible Journey, featuring beautiful dogs

Pedigree Animal Foundation
Congratulations to the Pedigree Animal Foundation. Due to their campaign during the Westminster Kennel Club show, they collected over $205,000 from viewers to be donated in support of dog adoption. As of today, that total is up over $300,000
The Pedigree Corporation will match at least the donations made during the show (I’m not sure about other donations), so selected adoption organizations will receive a total of over $410,000!
If you want to help out, go to DogsRule.com, where you can learn about several ways to contribute. Even if you just click on the link to become a Facebook fan, you will trigger a donation of 1 bowl of dog food to a shelter. No cost to you, and a world of help for dogs!
Thanks, Pedigree!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Update on Holly @ Westminster
We posted last week about Holly, a Dogue de Bordeaux who was to be shown at Westminster, even though she was suffering from a relapse of her lymphoma. We are sad to report that Holly passed away one week before the show. Our deepest condolences to the Saez family on the loss of this beautiful dog.
