Water Break!
It's pretty quiet here today, so we decided to get the hose out. This is Smoke, Jobe, and Riley's favorite!
Woofball Playoff -- Wild Card Week
Wow, Baltimore, way to go! You handed New England their first home playoff loss since 1978!
The match started off with a stellar first quarter for the Ravens. They scored 24 unanswered points, many of those off New England turnovers. The Patriots managed to score a touchdown each in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but any hope of a comeback was over when with about ten and a half minutes left in the 4th quarter, they failed to score off their drive and the Ravens took five long minutes off the clock in their subsequent possession. Final score: 33-14 Baltimore Ravens.
This week's winner is...Belen! She correctly picked Baltimore to win.
This week's games:
Pick the team you think will win from each game. We will draw a winner from each game! Each of those winners will receive $10 off any service, and we'll draw again from the pool of four winners to see who will win $25. If we raise more than $50 this week, we will double all prizes! This is a great chance to get a lot for a little, and help a great rescue!
This week's rescue:
Foreclosed Upon Pets Inc:
Foreclosed Upon Pets, Inc. (FUPI) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to the rescue of domesticated animals that have been abused and/or abandoned by their owners as a result of economic hardship, including home foreclosure, loss of employment, insufficient income, or death and illness. FUPI will work to further the cause of animal control through the education of the general public about the humane benefits of spay and neuter programs. FUPI will take on a leadership role in developing strategies and creating coalitions with other animal rescue organizations in order to better serve the residential and commercial sectors of the community in the fight against animal cruelty.
FUPI will make its services known to individual owners of pets who are suffering from the following:
Some rescued pets come from owners who have passed away or due to severe illness can no longer care for their pet.
Other animal’s come from less responsible pet owners who have neglected, abused and/or abandoned their pets. Upon rescue, many of these animals are in need of medical attention, appropriate food, and socialization with people and other animals.
FUPI’s approach to animal rescue will be a proactive alternative to animal cruelty and abandonment.

Buckaroo plays with ball
Sort of. When it rolls a few inches away, he looks to us to bring it back to him. Unfortunately for Buckaroo, Jobe grabs it before we can!

We have been busy all afternoon taking pictures for our January Activity. It's New Years Resolution time!
Be sure to bring your pup in the first couple weeks of January to see what their resolution is!

2010
The holidays are over and here we are in a new year (and some would say, a new decade). Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday season!
What are everyone's New Year resolutions? Look for our New Years Resolutions cards when you bring your pup in during the month of January!
Here are some pics from the NYE slumber party. Apparently as soon as the blankets were out and the movie on, the dogs just crashed. I guess they got too tired playing all day!
Here's to 2010!
