Ollie, the Wonder Dog

I’m guessing this Canton, Georgia family will never complain about bad behavior from this puppy!

Ollie, a 6-month old boxer, was acting strange one evening – whining, rubbing against the legs of family members, and going outside then refusing to come back in.  Eventually, all of the family members ended up out in the yard, and they could tell Ollie was finally relaxing.

That’s when it dawned on Dad that he had left the gas on in the fireplace.  By now, the fire had gone out, but the valve continued to pour gas into the house.  Mom says the family does often light candles, which would have had catastrophic results if Ollie hadn’t intervened.

I’m thinking Ollie might find something a little special in his stocking this Christmas.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

P.S. – A wag of the doggies.com tail to Examiner.com for posting a picture with this story, not of Ollie, but of Cash, a Boxer from a local shelter who is looking for a forever home.

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!)
