Dog Given Up for Dead Emerges After House Fire

A dog thought dead after a major fire that destroyed the home emerged from the ashes 12 hours later.

The fire damage was so severe that the second story collapsed into the ground floor. The family escaped without harm but they thought their dog had perished in the blaze.  Their dog Daisy was found about 12 hours later as demolition on the ruined building began.  I’m so glad the family got out okay and that they were reunited with their dog!  Doggies.com loves happy endings 🙂

Read the full story here.  From the sounds of it, Daisy was scared and covered in ashes, but otherwise she got out pretty much unscathed.

 

Shelter Sunday: Ft. Leavenworth Stray Facility / Ft. Leavenworth, KS

Meet Parker!  He is currently in URGENT need of a home and is being held at the Ft. Leavenworth Stray Facility.  Isn’t Ft. Leavenworth the army’s jail?  Anyways, I was intrigued by this facility because they house stray dogs found on post that aren’t claimed.  Military affiliation is not required to adopt one of their dogs.

Here’s Parker’s story from PetFinder:

Saturday Survey: For Little Dogs Only (Now updated with survey form included)

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the post from about 12:30 today, of a French Bulldog messing with a mounted NYPD horse on Wall Street.  Clearly, the dog doesn’t know he could be crushed with one mis-step from the horse.  If you have a small dog, does he know he’s a pipsqueak?



Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Do I do right by my dogs?

Daisy and LucyI certainly am one of the most loving of all dog owners.  I have two dogs, both from the local Humane Society, your basic mutts.  I pay more attention to them then just about anything in my house.

I pet them, play with them, talk, sing to, treat, and look after them as best I can.  Yes, my dogs are happy dogs.  When I come home, even from a short trip to the store, it’s a huge delight for them.  Their tails wag like crazy and I get the warmest, happiest welcomes.

But here’s where I fail them.

I don’t walk them often enough.  Most of us have careers, long work hours, duties at home, etc., sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day.  I don’t think once or twice a week cuts it.  I have to be more diligent and more responsible to THEM.

Today it was enough of excuses, I got out the leads and off we went.  They sure were happy to go, and when we got back, both of them curled up for a snooze.  I’m promising myself and my dogs, to get out there with them more often!!!!!
