Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

Meet EMMA

Hubby refuses to have a facebook page.  It’s all good, facebook isn’t for everyone.   Except he has a tendency to look over my shoulder and ask, “What’s that?”

The other day someone had posted a photo of their dog and he asked, “What happened to that dog?”

I said, “He’s missing an eye, that’s what our next dog is going to be.”

“A dog with one eye?”

“Not necessarily a dog with one eye, but the dog will be black and will either be a Senior or a Special Needs dog; or a Beagle rescued from lab testing.”

“I don’t want a Beagle.”

(I’ll tell you what Hubby always told the kids about “want” but I’ll save that for Friday’s post.)

I tell you all this because today I’m once again participating with Dogs N Pawz for the Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop and I’m once again focusing my efforts on a Senior.

Meet Emma.  Emma is a ten- to twelve- year-old, fifty pound black Labrador Retriever looking for her forever home.  She’s a very laid back, yet sweet and loving girl who loves the company of people and other dogs. She’s house- and crate-trained, walks well on leash, loves to go for rides in the car, and generally does anything she can to please her people.  She’s looking for a loving home where a senior dog that walks a little slower, and enjoys her naps can have the love and companionship she desires.

Emma is currently being fostered in CT and is one of the Labs being sponsored by Labs 4 Rescue. All Labs 4 Rescue pups are altered, up to date on their shots and have been temperament tested.

For additional information about Emma #22 please email Susan Ekaireb at susanekaireb@gmail.com.

I’m not normally one for asking people to share my posts (of course if you love them and want to that’s totally your choice) BUT when it comes to helping dogs find a loving home to spend the rest of their days.  Well let’s just say, I’m not above begging.

Please share where you can.  Together we really can make a difference!!  This is Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop.

Tuesday’s Tails – April 30, 2013

By

Lisa over at Dogs N Pawz had an awesome idea for a blog hop that features shelter animals.

The idea started when Lisa and her son went to their local shelter to adopt a dog and realized some dogs end up in the no kill shelters for a very long time.  She wanted to do something to help showcase these animals so she started the blog hop.

You can join too by grabbing the badge and linking up.

The dog I’ve chosen to focus on today is a senior.  Sadly this senior was dropped off at the shelter along with his brother when his dad was deployed.  His brother a younger French Bulldog mix was quickly adopted, but poor sweet Bullwinkle has been passed over.

Bullwinkle

When Bullwinkle’s time ran out, the shelter employees moved him to the lobby where he proved to get along with every person and every dog he met.

American Lab Rescue (where my own sweet Delilah came from) currently has him in boarding.  Here’s what his petfinder profile says about him, “Bullwinkle is an easy-going boy who has a way of endearing strangers to him- he has a loveable, goofy personality, and he is looking to spend his golden years with a very special family! He has only known love in his life, and we want that to continue!”

Bullwinkle is 10 years young, weighs in at 99 pounds and has known nothing but love his entire life.  He’s neutered, up to date with his required shots and house trained.

You can read more about him on his petfinder page and the rescue’s contact information is there as well.

So many times when people are looking for a dog they overlook the seniors, for the obvious reason as time with them is limited. I used to think that way too.   Until I started reading Life at Golden Pines.  Kim takes in so many seniors and while I know her heart is sometimes broken when she loses one, the love she receives from these very grateful, loving dogs is immense.

If you’re in CT and looking for a four-legged companion, won’t you consider Bullwinkle?  I know he’d be ever so grateful and you’d also be putting a deployed soldier’s mind at ease, knowing his beloved friend was being loved and well cared for.

This is the Tuesday’s Tails blog hop, hosted by Dogs N Pawz.
