Liberty!

 

Yesterday our nation celebrated freedom and this got us thinking about our 600th rescue, Arlin. Arlin is being given a second chance to know the freedom that any dog who is truly loved and cared for knows. A free dog is free to just be a dog and enjoy every minute of yummy meals, loving pats on the head and falling asleep cuddled up next to the people who have given you that freedom. So, in the spirit of Independence day, we have renamed Arlin Liberty! Welcome to the family, Liberty. We're honored to help you find your freedom. http://p0.vresp.com/Tf0JYw

Meet Jasper!

On the way home with Jasper!

 I am so excited! Yesterday, my mom went and picked up our new foster brother. He is 18 months old and very fun to play with. Although he is very energetic and he does not seem to get tired when I do...I think I am getting old! We played a lot yesterday. Today I am so sleepy. Thank goodness for my comfy dog bed from Santa.

G.R.E.A.T

Tonight my mom told me she met 2 wonderful ladies from G.R.E.A.T - the Golden Retriever Emergency Assistance Team - at the Cummer Museum's reception honoring The Dogs of Riverside and Avondale. My mom was overjoyed that my dad agreed to adopt/foster another Golden in December 2009. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I think it means I get another playmate!! I am so excited! My mom tells me she is so excited to be affiliated with this wonderful group and is happy to help in any way. She was a little emotional tonight when she told me and Jackson the story of how we came to be rescued. It's been soooo long that I forgot my "old life". Now, Jackson and I play all day long and we love to snuggle and wrestle with our parents! We especially love our backyard (even though I am allergic to grass and most oak trees in our neighborhood). We sure do like living in Avondale!!! I would like to ask everyone to take a moment to support GREAT! Who knows, you may be supporting my new brother or sister!
