Gibson is keeping this toy all to himself! KyJen did it again! They've come up with some  great puzzles to not only keep our dogs busy, but challenge their mind and skills too! We received two new totally "pawsome" dog games from KyJen to review, their super cool Moon Rover Rescue Ball where the object is for our fupal to try and get the squeaky blue moon rover toys from rolling around inside the larger six inch blue rubber ball. It's very challenging! ( Shh...I gave Gi b a little h elp!) It 's price is right around the $19.99 range, and defin itely worth it for the hours of fun entertainment it provides! Gibson really love s playing with this "ball !" He is our resident puzzle expert and he rose to the challenge with great interest! To add a little more fun, I added a treat. The funny part, Gib was way more interested in getting the rover out than the treat!   Yes! That squeaky rover does fit in that ball! As you will see from the video be...

Tha nks, Free Spirit Siberian Husky Rescue for this message . This holiday season , we are joining in the effort to educate folks on not getting puppies or dogs for a Chris tm as present unless they've fully done their homework on the breed ...and not to buy one from a pet store ( and not to support puppy mills). Please take a few minutes to take the ASPCA's " No Pet Store Puppies" pledge and share with others in case they are not aware. If  you know of someone who is not aware of what pupp y mills are, have them check out th e Humane Society of America's website . A pupp y mill is no life for a dog. If we all join together to reinforce the information that too many puppies are given for gifts for the "awwww" factor, then are sadly dumped or abandoned soon after the last of the decorations are packed away, then may be we can save a life . If you know of someone who is thinking about giving a child a puppy this holiday season, please consider ...

Our hearts are so very heavy with sadness for the families of the Connecticut schoolchildren and teachers who lost their lives in the tragic elementary school shooting today. Heaven has gained 20 more little beautiful angels today. We are sending our thoughts , prayers, and heartfelt condolences to those families. Let us all hold our loved ones close and children even closer . We hope all of our furfriends and their families are, and will always be,   safe and well.

Fla shback to Chris tmas time 2007: Gibson, just shy of being two years o ld, and Harley, a few m onths shy of turning three, are al l decked out in reindeer antlers ready to pull Santa's sleigh! Okay, Gibson is and Harley is just thinking "get these ridiculous ears off of me!" I love this photo of our "married" couple...it really shows their personality even at an early age : Gibson's silliness and Harley's queenliness - traits they both still have today that bring so much love and joy (and laughs) into our lives!  Speaking o f reindogs and r eindeer...her e's a little song to get y ou into the holiday spirit !   Happy Holiday Flashback Friday!   Grab our badge and join in!
