Being Secret Santy Claws!

I'm real 'cited vis year cuz moms said I can be a secret Santy Claws!  I didn't know what vat was, but she had a real happiness voice on, so I wagged my nub and said of course I want to do vat!!  Ven she 'splained it to me and ven I got even more 'cited!  It's real important job to be a SSC...

First, you have to pick who are getting fings for.  I figured it out right away after reading one of my favorite bwogs, The Five Dog Blog .  I real love my auntie and unca and all five dogs!  So ven, I had to figure out what to get vem!  Wow, so many choices, I fell seep seep just looking at vem all!

Ven you have to wait and wait and wait for Mr UPS man to come and deliver it.  It is real 'portant to open va package and inspect va goods!  I was real happiness wiff how everyfing looks.  My sisters were real happiness cuz vey fought va gifts were for vem!  Oopsy!








Next is va real hardness part... wrapping!  Oh em GAWD!  Wiffout 'posable fumbs, vis job is real hardness.  Moms helped me a wittle cuz it was just a mess, haha! 


Ven I put vem in a big box, moms taped it up, and we made a label for to ship it.  I real hope vey like it!!  I bet vey will be so surprised cuz I'm real good at keeping secrets ;-) 



Sometimes, sending a gift just cuz is real nice for someone.  It doesn't have to be 'spensive, just fink about va person you're sending to and ven make somefing or buy somefing and send it!  Or even just send a note saying how you feel, OK?  Moms always says tomorrow is promised to no one, so do all you can today.

Happy howlidays, my friends!

Love,

Being 'formative 'bout heartworm disease

In vis bwog, I will talk 'bout heartworm disease and you will learn why giving your pups heartworm memmicine every monf is so 'portant, OK??  I am a vowunteer wiff Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus.  A wot of dogs we bring into our program come in "heartworm positive".  When vis happens, vey have to get real painfulness treatment for it.  Not only does it hurt vem, but it costs rescue a wots of money, too!  It's much kinder to give your pup memmicine every monf to prevent heartworm disease ven make vem possibwy go frew all va pain, right?  It's not even vat 'spensive!

Here is a link to real helpfulness information on heartworm disease:

Here is my friend, Mac, who is awesome sauce and a real goodness boy, but is getting treatment for heartworm.  During treatment, Auntie Pam keeps va dog real quiet: no pwaying, no running around, or anyfing! Just crate rest.  Wouldn't vat be awful??

I was real happiness to hear from many of my friends about getting veir heartworm memmicine.  Vey even sent some pictures, and you know I real love pictures!

Vis is Comet, an IDR+ alumnus!  Auntie Mary never misses a monf of heartworm memmicine for Comet, yay!  Nice sit and watch, Comet!
Vis is Murphy, my Auntie Lindsay's boy.  Hey, he is an IDR+ alumnus, too!  Look how excited he is to get his heartworm memmicine!  Good job, buddy!  Make sure your sister gets hers, too, OK??  :-)
Vis is my brover in red-headed-awesome-sauceness, Noble!  Oh em GAWD, he is an IDR+ alumnus, too!!  Haha, I have a wots of rescue friends!  Anyway, Auntie Sherri & Unca Rob sometimes put stickers on Noble to remind vem to have his memmicine, hahaha!  Just kidding!  But look how handsome and helpful he is :-)





Here is me, my sister SFB (OK, anover IDR+ alumna!!!) and my sister Cals.  We REAL love our memmicine and get so 'cited when it's time to get it.  Moms and dads always make us sit nice and watch before we get it vo.  But it is worf it!

I hope vis was helpfulness and fun to read, too.  If you want more information on vis, email me or moms and we will do our best to help, OK?

Take care and stay healthy, friends!
