Welcome back to the weekend! Before we get to the hop, and before the heat of this scorching summer fades from memory, let’s take a look back at a pastime that was a big hit in our house this summer – it’s a brain freeze bonanza. Enjoy!
Recently the SPCA aided in the rescue of dozens of laboratory research animals from a NC research facility. 35 adorable pets were brought to the SPCA for a second chance. The Wake County SPCA recently created this cute video as a way to give us an update on the animals in their care.
The 8-year-old yellow Labrador lies obediently on the stainless steel exam table, tail wagging, as Dr. Henry Green monitors the dog’s heart rhythm — every beat of which is guided by a pacemaker implanted beneath the scruff of his neck. Grommit, the beloved pet of a western Indiana woman, is part of an elite but growing club of dogs whose lives are being lengthened by technology once reserved for their human masters.
The weekend is in sight and this has been a very popular giveaway! Thanks to all for your entries and feedback. You’ve kept me busy this week, and I hope you have had fun playing along. It’s time for the last winner of the week to get their chance at the free collar of their choosing from Sirius Republic.
In 2004 Deb and Dan Dunham lost their son Jason to an insurgent’s grenade in Iraq. Now the Scio, N.Y., couple is healing — and being healed by — another wounded Marine: Gunner, a bomb-sniffing dog traumatized by war.
He’s being called a miracle dog. A four year old Shih Tzu named “Buddy” disappeared from his Mississippi home several weeks ago, only to show up (mysteriously) hundreds of miles away in Missouri. How he got to St. Louis is a real mystery.
Two more days to go, and this has been a blast. It’s been fun reading all of your messages – just for the record, I hope you win too! If you noticed, Nigel was modeling a collar from Sirius Republic yesterday, and it looks even better in person. Want one of your own?
