Rocky "Scooter" September Update

This young man just had a birthday and its all good for this special dog-

His mom writes,

"Rocky is just special. I was looking through his paperwork last week and noted that his birthday was listed as Sept.13, 2003. He is such a lover. He is always bringing me a toy and asking to play tug, or rolling over and offering his tummy for a rub."

Slinky Malinky's new country life

Slinky is a rambunctious, playful boy who was surrendered because the owner did not "want a black cat." That was back in April, and he has finally gotten his chance for a permanent home. We named him "Slinky Malinky" for the cat from the children's book by the same name (see previous post here.) We made a photocopy of the front of the book to put in his cage sign sleeve, and he's had alot of fun shredding it the past few months. This is a boy who really needs room to roam and now he will be out in the country.

Mice beware.......
