Ever feel unappreciated?

Sometimes I think all our hard work is just ignored by those silly humans. I mean, I do my job, and I don't expect a big fuss over it. But really, is a little ear scritch and "Thank you, Casey" too much to ask for? No, instead I get mocked.

Take Tuesday, for example. Monday were the big skeery storms in Oklahoma, and on Tuesday we were supposed to be getting storms here too. Big hail, high winds, and possible tornadoes. Momma tried not to act like it, but I know she was skeered. So I, being the wonderful compassionate dog that I am, stuck right to her side the whole afternoon, like glue, to reassure her. I know it helped. But the storm was getting loud, with all that thunder and stuff, and I was tired of it skeering my momma! So I decided to let it know who was boss. I ran right to the door and BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK!!! You stay away from my momma! I'm here, and I'm going to protect her! The whole rest of the storm, I let it know Casey was there and on the job!

And did my momma appreciate all my hard work? NO! She -- furiends, I don't know if I can even say it. It just hurts so much. She.... laughed at me.

Sniff. Let down, betrayed by my own momma. She told me, "Barking won't make the storm go away, Casey." She laughed and petted me and told me not to be skeered. ME?!?!? That storm was skeered, that's who was skeered! Not ME! The NERVE.

I may never forgive my momma for this. Well, at least not until the next time she has treats.

Black and White Sunday

My beeYOUtiful sissy Cinderella wanted to get in on the action today. Happy Sunday!

Foster Friday: Meet Champagne!

Don't you just LOVE Fridays?It's the end of the week and the start of the weekend, of course, but Fridays are even better because they're FOSTER Fridays! They're the day I get to introduce you to one of the pawesome foster dogs available for adoption from Legacy Boxer Rescue. It's one of my favorite parts of my job!

And today I sure have a doozy for you. I want everyone to meet the beeYOUtiful Champagne!!

Isn't she just gawjuss? Momma and I have a definite weakness for those flashy brindle gals. Miss Champagne is about 5 years old and looking for a home to lavish her love and affection on for all the rest of her days. We at LBR usually call her "Mama Champagne," because she came to us with two cute-as-can-be little puppies, Pinot and Merlot. She did a wonderful job raising them, but now she wants a place where she can be somebody's baby!

She's a cool, chill girl who doesn't run around crazy all the time, but she still has plenty of boxer antics to make you smile! She's also a gal who loves a good sleep -- and has the snores to prove it! She gets along grreat with other dogs and loves kids too. What an all-around gal! If you'd like to learn more about Champagne, just go here and look at her bio. Then fill out an application and say you'd like to have some Champagne at your place tonight!

PeeS: I have fangtastic news about my good buddy PINK! After 15 months in foster care, working HARD on behavioral issues and learning all about commands and tricks as a deaf dog, Pink has finally chosen her furever family! They love her as much as she loves them, and it makes all our hearts SING to see them together. Congrrats on finding your happily ever after, Pink. You deserve it!!

LBR alum Pink!

Yucky storms

LBR foster Marta

Last night was a pretty skeery one here in Texas. We had bad storms with several tornadoes, including one that was a mile wide! It was the kind of night to snuggle up with your teddy bear and hope everything would be okay. So far, we've been able to account for all LBR volunteers, and we're all fine. Some of our alums live in the worst affected areas, though, so we're praying they and their families are all okay. Keep your paws crossed for them, and that we don't have any more storms like this for a while. I don't want another night like that any time soon!


PeeS: Apparently Sarge's peeps have surrendered! The trial of the century is over, and Sarge will be back as Blogville's top COP soon!


Edited to add: All our known alums in the affected areas have reported in safe! YAY!!
