Sometimes All You Need are Balls

4/21/2016

Picture
Jack Wolff likes to collect his balls every day and keep them safe on his dog bed.  If they are under furniture, he comes to me and uses his head and eyes to point to the location. That requires me to lie face down on the floor and stretch my hands underneath the sofa or any other stick of furniture. Once he's satisfied that he's collected enough, he lies peacefully on his bed with his balls.

Pet Pic of the Week: Happy Birthday, Poppy!

3/21/2016

PictureThe Birthday Girl Poppy Oken
Poppy, a red merle Australian Shepherd, turned four years old today. He and his 12-year-old buddy Andy, a border collie, believe, just like all herding dogs, that their job is to round up animals or humans, to keep everything safe and orderly. The pair regularly herds those dogs running loose at Shelby Farms dog park. 

Poppy loves to play with a wood puzzle "dog casino" toy from Hollywood Feed. He also likes to steal space on Beth Oken's bed. Beth adopted Poppy from a woman who moved away to Colorado so he could be a buddy to Andy. ​

Since Poppy is younger than Andy, Beth goes on play dates with his friend Alice, a chow mix. Poppy's favorite treats are Sam's Yams. His favorite toy is a Kong Wobbler and next to herding, his favorite activity is to see how much mud he can bring into the house. His friend Melody Joon at Hollywood Feed at Poplar and Yates grooms him regularly, and he always comes out looking like a show dog, almost as handsome as Andy.

Please Help Find a Foster or Permanent Home for This Boy

2/13/2016

People moved out of their house and abandoned this boy. He was tied up in a shed, no food or water. My friend's daughter found him and brought him home.

She's had him for a couple of weeks. Apartment management served her papers that said she was violating the 35 pounds or less dog rule. What idiot decided 34-pound dogs are allowed.

 She is a single mom who could never afford to rent a house. Her mom took him to vet today. He is heart worm positive.

Pet Pics of the Day: Leo and Theo Hays

​Leo and Theo are appleshead Siamese littermate who live in Little Rock, Ark. with Cindy Hays. Applehead siamese cats have round heads instead of an angular shape. ​

Nearly three years ago, her beloved cats Josh and Alvin died three weeks apart. While cats don’t make a lot of noise or ruckus like dogs do, the silence when she came home at night was acute.

She saw an ad in the newspaper for applehead Siamese kittens. Her plan was to buy one kitten, but took enough money for two. Cat lovers know two kittens are better than one because they will keep each other company. 


The 2-year-olds enjoy a game of fetch and sleeping. Cindy says. Leo climbs in her lap and demands attention, while Theo is content just to snuggle against Cindy. The boys love to nestle together.

Pet Pic of the Day: Oliver Dixon

Oliver is a nearly 9-year-old long-haired Dachshund in Cincinnati, Ohio. He belongs to Richard and Lynn Dixon and their two daughters Shelby and Katie.

He enjoys sitting on the front porch with Richard watching traffic or cuddling in the recliner at night with Lynn. His favorite toy is a rubber bone that he wants to be kicked so he can chase it. If Oliver finds anything good to eat around the house, he hides it in the corners of his bed. 

Among his stash: Lollipops, crackers and York Peppermint Patties.

Oliver once thought a plastic grocery bag was attacking him.  He was walking around his yard on a windy day. Suddenly he came running lickety-split like a pint-sized race horse. The grocery sack was blowing in quick pursuit.

Pet Pic of the Day: Buddy Lee

2/2/2016

Picture
Buddy Lee is a 4-year-old chocolate Labrador Retriever, who was adopted by Mike and Barbara Lee from the Southaven Animal Shelter in Mississippi. He was an 8-month-old pup when the couple brought him home.

Buddy and the couple divide their time between their home in Olive Branch, Miss. and their condo in Gulf Shores, Ala. If Mike and Barbara take their boat out, Buddy goes too. If the weather is cool, Buddy goes along to the grocery store or to church where he quietly waits in the car. 

Buddy believes that no stuffed animal should be. A toy's cotton innards and squeaker are scattered on the floor like someone plucked a chicken and took out its cluck. His favorite toy is the fake-fur skin of a formerly stuffed cow.

The lab knows how to count, at least to four because that's how many treats he gets each night after his walk. Not two treats and a third broken in half. Four. Buddy also knows when the couple goes out to eat; he will be dining on leftover french fries when they return.

Pet Pic of the Day: Jack Wolff

​Jack Wolff is an 11ish-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever owned by David and Cindy Wolff. Unlike standard yellow labs with black eyeliner, lips and nose, is called a Dudley lab because he lacks pigmentation on his nose, lips and eyeliner. Those features are typically black on a yellow lab. The lighter color makes his face softer. 

​​His previous owner surrendered him to the Collierville, Tenn. Animal Shelter when he was around a year old. He was adopted a few months later.
