I’ve finally found my favorite shelter – one that is dedicated only to BEAGLES! (The very best dog around, as far as I’m concerned.) I’m thrilled to feature them on this week’s Shelter Sunday, and to introduce you to Honey. This beautiful girl is being fostered in Austin, Texas by Hound Rescue. Here’s what their website has to say about her.

Un-dead Dog
No, this isn’t a story about vampires and angels. It’s about a shelter that did the right thing even though there was no way they would be reimbursed.

Mourning the loss of a dog
Another great song and video from friend-of-the-blogger Randi Breese. She describes her new song, “Colors Fill the Sky” this way: I wrote this song in hopes that it would bring healing to those that have lost a beloved pet. We love them as much as any other family member and miss them terribly when they are gone.
Great job, as always Randi! I love the part about our dogs waiting for us in heaven.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Dogs with Soul
When Ellie, a blind spaniel, was adopted by shelter manager Jean Spencer, she never expected that her other dog, Leo, would choose to become her very own seeing-eye dog. “I take them for walks in the park and Leo guides Ellie around,” says Spencer. “He is so protective and herds the more boisterous dogs away from her.”

Dennis the Menace and Good Ole’ Ruff
Did you see today’s Dennis the Menace comic strip? Dennis is showing Margaret the excellent skills of Ruff the dog.
“Roll over,” he says, but the dog doesn’t move. “Sit!” Again the dog just lies there. “Speak!” Again, the dog does nothing. “So, what’s the trick?” Margaret asks.
“He’s acting like a cat!”
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
