Mayzie's Rescue Me Week

hi every bloggie!

Today we are participating in Mayzie'sRescue Me Week!

Ya know... I've been seeing more and more Blue Heelers around the area.

I even see us Heelers at festivals and on the trails now.

But I never ever see Akitas!

Except for Tula of course. So I decided to highlight Akitas for rescue.

See... I think they have trouble getting adopted and don't get as much attention as other hard to adopt breeds. Most of the ads read: please no kittehs, good in house but not so good outside, no kids under 12, Akita experienced owner and tolerates other dogs but needs to be loved by only you, only dog home please. Jeepers. Plus woo need to have super sized sleeping beds for these 100lbers.

Well... Toolie opened my eyes to the beauty of the breed. Yep she looks at me like I'm a piece of chicken but I'm use to it now. She shares her cookies and treats with me. She lets me zoomie in her backyard. She even lets me walk behind her now. She loves to kissie face w/ my momma too. Woo just have to get to know the Akita language and rules.

Nobody moves... nobody gets hurt. Hee hee just kidding. kinda.

Akitas are way cool.

Not a breed for everybody but you never know until woo meet one in pawson. I wanna introduce you to Matheo from the Akita Rescue of Western NY.

He comes with his own socks and duster. See! Cool breed.

Handsome dude. Let me tell you, when your walking down the street

with an Akita, it's like you're in a pawrade. People stop their cars and shout out the windows "is that an Akita? COOL DOG". And then I tell them I'm Certified Akita trained and people just say "that dude looks nutty". hmph.

Well just to prove Akitas can get along with others...

I'll leave you with our morning walkies.

They just have to get to know you.

If you are looking to adopt a dog, don't forget Akitas or an Akita Mix.

Woo might find a best friend who has a cookie face.

petrock festival fun times!

hi every bloggie!

Finally I'm getting around to posting my fun times I had a couple weekends ago. Each fall there is a Petrock Festival in Worcester MA. No no! not these pet rocks but a festival for dogs and cats. Silly.

It was a beautiful afternoon.. see..

I of course made sure we stopped in every tent. Look at these yummer cookies- Boston themed. Archie & Agatha could've got one to match their leashes.

And yahoo! I talked mom into buying me my favorite- a carrot! Isn't he cute? This one even talks to me. What does a carrot have to say? I don't know.. I removed the voice box immediately.

Fun Aunt Dee came along and got a bunch of stuff for Tula. You know,every event we go to -no Akitas. None.. nadah. I guess they don't like festivals???
Here was the water station area.. Clifford, Elmo the spraying fountain (he was scary to me) and a bunch of pools. I watched this bulldog hog the pool.. Can you move over please? Bulldogs don't swim do they?

Look at all these pups that came out! Mango & Dexter.. does that look like beautiful Raja?

Airedales, Mastiffs, White GSD, Dachshunds, Italian Greyhounds.. the list goes on. But I was the only Blue Heeler Terrier mix. One of a kind I guess.

Then I hit the cat rescue tent. Ohhhhhh cute lil furballs.

Of course I had to touch noses with them.

And the last stop, the massage tent. Tula's not the only one who can get a massage.. right? Here we go.. I think she really enjoyed it too!

Yep! You gotta love a good pet festival. I still think they should've had a pet rock tent. Rocks can be pets too! Oh one last thing.. my schnauzer pal Oskar wanted to join the bandana bonzana! Another bandit Wahooo! The bandana matches your eyes... ahem... just man to man.

Toodle loo!
