Any time I try to take a picture of my girls, I get down on the ground so I can take a picture from their level; I’ve been told it usually makes for a better picture than shots from human eye-level.

Of course, me being down on my knees at their level makes them curious as to what I’m doing, so I get this effect more often than not.

But hey, that’s okay. It’s a pretty good picture if I do say so myself.

Bridget Loveless sent in this fantastic photo of her two dogs running around having a good time. She’s right; that is a really cute Australian Blue Heeler!

I could hear them trying to send mental signals to me, saying “Mister, put down the flashy thingy, and let us play in your bedroom! We promise not to make (much of) a mess!”

For the record, they were lying. The mess was huge, but they were still adorable.

I’ve featured these guys so often, I feel like I know them. They’re such good looking pups, don’t you think?

This is what I love to see at The Doggie Playhouse; dogs playing and having a good time! Photos like this one always make me grin.

Friday, a Yorkie/Lhasa Apso mix is playing with Chloe, a Jack Russell Terrier. The fierce battle raged on for days! Well, probably about 2 minutes, then someone walked in the front door (there’s a little gated-off area for customers to walk into before entering the actual doggy play area) and they both dropped the rope to go bark and the new arrival. That’s my guess for what happened!

Stumble It!

Last week I missed “Cutest Pooch,” but our winner was Zeek! Not a classic beauty, but he taught us you don’t have to look cuddly to be cute, so this week we’re going with another not-classically-cute dog: Curtis, the English Bulldog! Personally, I think his smile is adorable. What do you think?

Too often I hear from people who are looking for dogs, “Well, I’m going to go to a breeder.” When I ask about the hundreds of local shelter dogs, they tell me that “you can’t trust those dogs.”

Both these little girls you see in this picture were shelter dogs. We’ve had MaiTai, the big one on the right, for at least 5 years, and Maggie was one of our foster pups. Heck, even Monster, my purebred Old English Sheepdog came from the SPCA!

It’s true. Some dogs that end up at the SPCA are problem dogs. They need special help. But just as often, the dogs at the SPCA just need a new home because their owners couldn’t afford them any longer, or didn’t realize what a commitment a dog really is. The dogs are lovable, sweet, and kind; they just need somebody to take them in.

There are already so many homeless dogs out there that would make good pets; do we really need to be going to breeders so much?

Stumble It!
