Hi - I'm well impressed with your hot dog outfit, I want one. ha
your dogs look lovely, i've had many dogs in the past and feel that Otis is the best companion ever. I think they have really good personalities as dogs go.
Hi Sam! I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your donation! This is the first fundraiser I've ever done (for any cause) and I'm touched by the generosity of my friends, some of whom I've only known through the internet. Thanks again!
Thanks Sam. I hoping I have several days left too, but Tiki keeps going downhill way to fast. I'm hoping to have a family portrait on Saturday, but not sure if Tiki will be up for it. If so, I'll post a few pics.
Thanks for the birthday greeting! Can't believe it was a year ago that I tied the umbilical cords on Bob Dog and his litter mates. He is the best friend ever!
Thank you for the welcome. What great pics of your puppies, they are beautiful. I have to say, though, Bertie doesn't really care for costumes. He'll wear a jaunty little hat, but that's about it. And I'm searching now for the perfect devil costume for Ethel, to suit her personality.
I have worked very hard on expanding this program and it is such a great success. We have more and more dogs joining all the time. Everybody loves it. The dogs, the owners and the staff. Very cool.......Yesterday we had a new dog start. A 20 month old baby Great Dane....120 lbs. named Libby. What a star.
Thanks! One of my favorite pictures too. My daughter wore the angel wings for Halloween and then we tried them on Tasha. They look like they are growing from her shoulders! A perfect fit. Your pictures make me smile. Beautiful dogs!
Sam, thanks for the suggestion on pet-friendly hotels in Vegas -- wow! Trump Towers is pet friendly?! That tells me he's not such a heartless guy after all! (LOL -- I watched a few episodes of "The Apprentice" and he was somewhat brutal and shrewd, but, hey, if you want to make it where he is, you gotta take his advice.)
I think you have two of the cutest corgis I have ever seen! They have that corgi 'devil' look in their eyes! They certainly love that water. Poor Algy just gets the Niagara River on occasion. Thanks for being our friend!
Hi from Scatter and Hoover! Your photos are gorgeous, I need to get out and take some more of my guys and keep my fingers crossed we get some good ones. Thanks for the friend invite!
Thank you for the welcome...what types of cars are you in to?? I have always been in to classic American Muscle '64-'72 mostly, but there are some exceptions to the rule....
Many thanks Sam
And thank you for your fun pictures and for bringing it with those awesome costumes! My husband is now prepared for Halloween lol Who knew so much love came in a little package of fur. Keep your fantastic pictures coming!
Hey, Sam, quick question...has your Mocha always been pretty unshakable, even from the time when he was just a pup? I've been looking into Therapy Dog Training/AKC Good Citizen training and I'm a little worried b/c Kiwi isn't always so 'calm.' I was just wondering if you trained him to be the "zen master" or if he just always was...thanks! Hope you and Silvia have a wonderful Valentine's Day with the pups.
Thank you Sam! You gave me some hope that Kiwi might be able to one day be a therapy dog. I definitely want to get her CGC Certified, just not sure about the Therapy Dog. Anyway, thanks again!
Thank you. Love the costumes! Our two older Rescue Corgi's wont have nothing to do with any type of clothing. But our Baby Tucker is being prepped young...LOL!
Thanks for the nice welcome! Dexter and I have a big day today and tomorrow. Today he says bye to my boyfriend for one year (Army deployment) and tomorrow he gets to move to our new home.
Thank you very much. We have always had dachshunds and now we have fallen for the Corgi. The are truly are remarkable breed. I hope to get a red this summer.
Cute dogs--and oh does that beach look good! We are freezing our bunny butts up here in Michigan--course if you are in Toronto during winter then you know what it is like! Funny thing is that my dogs absolutely love the snow and can hack almost any cold day.
I do have a tech question--I have some pictures on my PC (Kodak software) and I try to browse to load a couple of pictures here. However, it only picks up the albums I made before getting my latest Kodak software (that is compatable to Vista) Any idea on how I can transfer a couple of pictures???
Thanks Sam!!! Lola made sure she gave me some love first thing this morning (although I think it's because she needed to go potty...) haha Thanks again!
