Drifting on Petfinder

By

Dogs N Pawz

Today we join our friends Teddy, Scout and Ash from Dogs N Pawz for the Tuesday’s Tails Blog hop. 

As Lisa says, “This is the Blog Hop that features shelter animals. Find a cat, dog, rabbit, etc. at your local animal shelter or rescue and feature them on this Blog Hop! Come join the fun and help a furry friend find a forever home! And while you’re at it, don’t forget to visit the other blogs and share their doggies, cats, rabbits, and all the other animals that need forever homes on your social media sites. Please spread the word!”

Once again I chose a senior black lab.  Many dogs suffer from black dog syndrome, I’m not sure if anyone has ever figured out why so many black dogs are not adopted.  Having a chocolate dog myself (and having seen her picture on Petfinder) my guess would be, it’s hard to get a great picture of them.

I’ve also heard people may feel a tiny bit scared of them, because of the whole black cat thing.  Whatever!

I know some beautiful dogs that are black and had fate not intervened I’d have one right now myself.  When Hubby said, the only color we’re missing is black, let’s get a Black Lab I said NO.

What can I say?  I have my hands full with the two I have.

Anyway, back to the blog hop.  The picture of this guy, named Drifter caught my eye on Petfinder.

You can find more photos of Drifter on Petfinder.

Here’s what they have to say about him.

Drifter is a mellow guy who showed up to someone’s front yard with no collar and no plans of leaving. No owners could be found after searching the area. Drifter is around 7-8 years old and weighs 65 lbs.  He is house / crate trained and very sweet with children and other dogs he meets. He walks great on a leash and is pretty much the perfect pet for anyone looking for a loyal, mild mannered fellow.

If you or anyone you know is interested in Drifter, Labs 4 Rescue has an application on their website. If you require additional information, reference Drifter #3 and email Marla Cox at mclabs4rescue@gmail.com.

Drifter #3 is being fostered in Connecticut.

This is the Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop hosted by Dogs N Pawz.

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

By

We have something called ‘team-meetings’ at work. They were actually my idea and I hate them.

Initially they were designed to gather the office together and see where people were in regards to particular projects. The idea as originally intended, was to have weekly meetings of approximately 15 to 20 minutes to help keep all projects moving forward.

Well as the saying goes, “The best laid plans of mice and men.”

I can never quite pin my boss down to a small weekly meeting, what happens is he goes weeks and sometimes even months without ever having a meeting and then we have one long, boring meeting where he regurgitates everything he’s been holding in his gray matter since the last meeting.

That’s how I feel today. I have so many thoughts and experiences to share from this past weekend that I feel like my brain needs to regurgitate.

Since I can’t regurgitate my brain (and actually I’m quite thankful for that) I need to sit down and come up with a game plan as to how I’m going to share this past weekend with all of you who couldn’t attend.

CONGRATULATIONS are in order

I’d like to start with a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Kol’s Note’s, Jodi Chick for winning the award for Best Bark Blog, this is one awesome lady, great mentor and friend and truly deserving of this award.

CONGRATULATIONS also go out to Mrs.Taleteller from Tales and Tails, she won the Best Photo award for a beautiful photo of Miss Bunny incognito.  I had a grand time with Mrs. Taleteller and I can tell you I imagine I could get up to some mischief with that one.

For those who wondered how my presentation went, I’d say it was okay.  I’ve asked for some feedback from BlogPaws from the folks who actually attended and will let you know how it went.  I also intend to share the entire presentation here  and BlogPaws did record all sessions so hopefully you can check it out if you’re interested.

Hubby drove down Saturday to pick me up and we had a gruesome ride home yesterday.  A trip that should normally take 5 1/2 to 6 hours took us closer to 8 and by the time I got in, all I wanted to do was snuggle the pups.  I should have been working on this post while we were driving home but I was having some fun tweeting and treating and did not.

I promise to work on a post to tell you all about the awesome Blogging Rock Stars I met, and the fun things I won and brought home with me and the great things I learned.  But until then, indulge me just a little while I try to re-cooperate from an incredibly, awesome weekend.

The best laid plans of mice and men, does that mean there is a mouse? Are they tasty?
