Got this on my twitter feed today. Apparently it was Puppy Palooza night at Progressive Field / Indians game. They are so cute I just had to share!
(Frank – this one’s for you.)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
PS – Just got down far enough on my Twitter page to find the sponsoring organization for Puppy Palooza. Can anyone explain to me why the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District is presenting Puppy Palooza??? Are puppies really a problem for the sewer district? Is the sewer district responsible for puppies? I’m sooooooo confused!
UPDATE: Thanks for the response @NEORSD. Apparently, they are running a campaign about how “Because Dogs Can’t Flush” you need to pick up your dog’s messes before they get into the groundwater. Now, it all makes sense. (Not something I really wanted to think about, but it does make sense!)
Have you seen the new stamp put out by the USPS? It is one of those “Forever” stamps that you can buy at today’s rates and continue to use regardless of how high postage rates go up. (If interest rates continue so low, I may consider investing!) Anyways, this stamp features Owney, the canine mascot of the Railway Mail Service.
I know, I usually feature a dog from a small shelter shown on Petfinder, but I blogged earlier in the week about Rocky, a retired and disabled military dog who was going to be put down if no one took him. (Someone did, thank goodness.) But I think this organization is well worth the space I’m going to give it today.
There are three things that get me choked up: babies, dogs, and veterans. Pets for Patriots involves at least two of them.
I posted earlier this week about Rocky, a disabled and retired military war dog who needed to be adopted. Camp Pendleton was apparently overrun with requests to adopt the distinguished 3-tour veteran of Iraq.
I’ve personally never taken in a differently-abled dog (my kids are enough of a handful!) Would you adopt a dog with special needs? Keep in mind these are the dogs most often euthanized when they wind up in shelters.
UPDATE: Rocky was saved today! Trying to get details. Please read below for more info. Pets for Patriots can still use your support!
This is such a sad story – makes me wish I didn’t already have a houseful. Rocky served three tours in Iraq between 2004 and 2007. His last handler was killed in action, so Rocky was brought back to the States and has been cared for by other members of the unit. However, now that his back legs are failing, the military will have to put him down unless someone adopts him by August 24th.

Just found out Blue Mountain is now offering cards that you can add to your Facebook wall, rather than e-mailing to a specific person. They have so many cute dog cards, I wanted to make sure you knew about this. Click here to see the whole card that is thumbnailed above.
Meet Eve! Eve is currently living in foster care with Paws of Tomorrow in Ocean View, Deleware. Here’s what their website has to say about this new mama.
This is Stewey the bulldog, who I met today. I took his picture to put a dog-related spin on something I wanted to blog about that has absolutely nothing to do with dogs. You see, this morning I stood on my local high school’s steps along with many of my neighbors to honor a fallen hero.
