Dog of the Day -- Tessa

Hey, everybody, happy Friday the 13th! My mom really loves this day, and I'd like it a lot more if she didn't insist on wearing black kitty earrings all day. I don't get it. Anyway, I want to spend a special Friday telling you about a special gal.

Meet TESSA!


I know what you're thinking -- "wait a minute, Casey, why are you calling your sissy Tessa all of a sudden?" I know, that looks just like my sissy Cinderella, but it's not! We think they're long-lost sisters or something. They look so much alike, they act a lot a like, and Tessa even has most of the same health problems Cinderella had when she came to us! That's why Tessa holds such a special place in mine and Mom's hearts.

Tessa is a silver senior just like Ella is. We're guessing she's maybe 11 years old. But guess what? She still knows how to PLAY!

Tessa loves it at her new foster home. She thinks that Bevo should be her new boyfriend, not her brother!

And she gets along with all the girls there too!


I think this golden oldie deserves to live out her life in comfort and love, don't you? Visit www.savetheboxers.com to learn more about her!

For my friend Maggie Mae

She likes cute puppy pictures, and I wanted to oblige. Brand-new LBR foster Marilyn Monroe says it's hard word being this adorable.

High five!

Bath time!

Poor Apache! Last night was the worst night of the year for poor, abused doggies -- bath night! :(


Why do humans like to torture us so much? Especially after we've just had a nice refreshing roll in the mud?


Don't worry, buddy, it's almost over!

Remember to vaccinate your pets!!!

We talk a lot about how important vaccinations are, but here's a sad illustration.


Beautiful Derby died this weekend of Parvo, a disease that is completely preventable with one simple, inexpensive vaccination. When we heard how sick she was in the shelter, LBR pulled her and rushed her to the vet to try to help her. Sadly, she was too far advanced and went into cardiac arrest. :( Please don't let more dogs like Derby die from something so easily prevented!! Vaccinate your pets.

Godspeed, Derby.

Woohoo!

Just a quick bit of good news to share. Former Dog of the Day Aldridge has finally found his furever home!! He's been with LBR for more than a year, looking for just the right home. I'm so happy for him. :)

They grow up so fast...

One day they're just little puppies learning to sit, the next they're getting their driver's license.


I'm a little jealous of LBR alum Birdie here. MY mom won't let me take my driving test yet.

Woohoo!!

Guess who got herself a furever home for the holidays? Former Dog of the Day Miss TULIA, of course!!


Tulia went to her new home on Christmas Day. Wow! What an awesome Christmas present. Something tells me 2012 is going to be a pretty great year for her.
