I didn’t think it would be possible, but I’ve fallen in love with another guy. His name is Chester. He has silver and blonde hair, weighs 8 ½ pounds, and has more energy than I know what to do with. He is my 1 year old Yorkie. In December, my husband and I had to have our 17 ½ year old Yorkie, Ollie, put to sleep. I didn’t think I would be able to love a dog as much as I did that little 4 ½ pound bundle of fur.
October is “Adopt a Shelter Dog” month. There are many cute and sweet-natured dogs available for adoption right here in Excelsior Springs! To see a listing of available dogs up for adoption, visit the Excelsior Springs Animal Shelter website or the Excelsior Springs Friends of Animals website for more information on fostering a dog!
Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner?!? While you’re making your list and checking it twice this holiday season, someone is hoping you’ll think of him or her: a pet in need of a home.
Have you been thinking of adding a new pet to your family? If so, think rescue. Midwest Animal Res-Q is a licensed foster home based rescue whose main objective is to save as many pets as possible. These wonderful people give these pets a temporary home until they can find them a forever home.
My Sirius Life: My Dogs Have a Better Social Life Than Me!
I love the fact that my dogs have friends. It warms my heart to no end. When I take Lupin to doggy daycare he has certain dogs that he plays with every time he goes. They see each other and go bounding off to play all day long. I don’t know why this makes me so happy, but it does. Lupin has a best friend, and he even has a "girlfriend." Sirius has a buddy that always runs up to meet him and kisses him on the muzzle in greeting. Sirius is a bit more anxious at doggy daycare than Lupin, and Sirius’s buddy is there to help keep him calm. I love it.
