Pedigree and Dogs Rule!

Hi my pals. I am one lucky doggy. I have never been hungry as long as I have lived with my Mommy and Daddy and big Sis. Not one single day and even though Mommy sometimes gets mad at me and says"no treats for you missy" she always gives in. Some doggies and kitties are not so lucky, so I am making a post to try and help a little. If we all helped a little there would be so many less hungry friends out there. Please read this and then help, it only takes a few minutes and so many can be helped if we all work together.

For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive through September 19th, PEDIGREE® will donate a bag of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. It’s simple: Write a post, help a dog.

Thursday, September 16 through Sunday, September 19, the Pedigree BlogPaws bloggers will host a Blog Hop, to help raise awareness for the “Write a post, help a dog” effort. Please share this with everybody. Write your own post and go to Life With Dogs to leave a link to your post so Pedigree can find it and count it. Make a difference for another pup or two. It's easy and it will even make you feel good.

My 100th Post and a package from Mango!!

Hi to all my friends. Guess what?? Did you guess? No, ok, this is my 100th post!! Ta-da! If you know my Mom at all you will know, she is not good enough on the computer to do any contest kind of thing. We thought we would celebrate by showing you our first "Paw it Forward" package. It is from MANGO, it is so much fun to get pressies in the mail. Now we want to "Paw it Forward" to you. The first 3 of my friends that tell me that they want to play with me, I will send you a package. So when you comment just say Paws up to Paw it Forward and I will and then send Mom your address to her e-mail. Chicamom85@comcast.net. I think there are some rules, but mostly I remember that you shouldn't go crazy or anything on the gifts and when you get the pressie from me, then you keep it going. I think, Mango will have to let me know if I said that right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now onto my pressies from MANGO. First look at the cool card I got, we have it on our refrigerator now.


Here is what MANGO wrote to me.

Here I am all crazy and geeked up for my pressie. Can you see that crazed look in my eyes.

Come on Mommy, I can't wait, get on with it. I wonder if MANGO put any slobbers in my package?

Back off now Mommy , I will do this myself!

Wow, there is a lot of cool stuff in here. Foodies and toys and some pink heart baggies things. What are those for Mommy?

Oh, I get it, so when I make poo outside, then big sis doesnt have to steal the plastic bags from peoples newspapers to pick it up. Now I can be stylish and be the only one on my block to have pink heart poo bags. That is so cool

Ok Mommy, lets break into these right now.

Here is all my loot, 2 new toys, a bag of foodies, pink potty bags and a special holder for them and a picture of MANGO. I love everything, but I have one favorite already.

My new hedgehog friend, I am going to call him MANGO of course. Ok goodbye now, I am going to play with Mango the stuffie.

Thank you very much for teaching me how to play "Paw it Forward" Mango and Mango Mommy. Now the next 3 friends that want to play, just give me the "paws up to paw it forward"

Sasha's Friday Diary

Hello my friends and welcome to another Friday. As we embark on another weekend, I have some news and information I feel the need to share with you. First Petfinder.com http://m.petfinder.com/ is a site that is near and dear to my heart. My Mom found me there and I found my forever home. They send us newsletters and we would like to share some of the information with you.

Not all of our pet friends out there are easily finding homes. To help with this there is a special day coming in August:
:
A "SPECIAL" DAY Big black dogs. FIV+ cats. Senior pets. Special needs pets. Many factors can make a pet seem "less adoptable." To promote these animals, Petfinder has designated August 12 as "Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day."

Mom and I like this, so even if you are not interested in adopting right now, maybe you can pass this on to a friend or just have really good thoughts and paws crossed that these special pets find homes. We all need a home as you my friends well know.

Angels walk among us. You won't have any doubt when you read Opie's story. First, a good Samaritan rescued him on a cold January night, then Debby at Short N Sweet Dog Rescue nursed him to health, and finally Lori adopted him, a dog that wouldn't win any beauty contests. They all saw beyond that to his beautiful soul. Another angel is Betty, who adopted a blind Dachshund, Phoebe. We honor everyone who adopts a homeless pet, but special thanks to those of you who open your hearts to "less-adoptable" ones.

And this is kind of cool:

Do You Have a Happy Tail?Send us your Petfinder pet's happy ending story. It will be entered in our monthly Happy Tail drawing, and you may win a Man's Best Friend Fun Pack and a baseball cap from our friends at The Animal Rescue Site.

Check this out, you can go and vote for your favorite rescue site and that site could win some money to help other dogs.
Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese/ Petrealtorz now RetroDoggyRescue, this is the group that found me and we vote for them every day.

Keep voting daily for your favorite group in The Animal Rescue Site $100,000 Shelter+ Challenge! Voting ends July 26.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Love and licks and sniffs, Sasha
