Back to work!

Well, Momma's home from vacation, we almost have the house in order again, and the weekend and the howliday is done. Now it's time for Momma to go back to work, and for the LBR pups to get back to saving dogs!

Here's LBR foster Wrigley on her way to heartworm treatment.

Welcome home, Momma!

She was gone FOREVER. At least 87 days, or maybe a week. Whatever, it was FOREVER!!!  But my momma is HOME now after battling the marathon and hob-nobbing with a mouse the rest of the week. But she did what she set out to do, and I'm SO proud of her. Look at the shiny bling she got to take home -- one medal for the half-marathon, one for the full marathon, and one for the "Goofy Challenge" of running them both back-to-back!

She got to meet that mouse I mentioned -- THE Mouse, the one and only Mickey! She had lots of fun all week hanging at his place in Florida. She got to meet other folks too, like her most favoritest of all, GOOFY!

But the most specialist part came when she went to a place called the Fairytale Hall. That's where she got to meet Cinderella. Not my sissy -- the ORIGINAL Cinderella! Momma said she's very beautiful and sweet and kind. Now, the fun part of the story is that many years ago, back when my sissy Cinderella wasn't my sissy, she was our foster dog. Momma was debating and debating whether she should adopt Cinderella or not. Momma knew she really loved Cinderella, but she knew how much Cinderella loved kids and wanted to give her the chance to have skin-siblings of her own to play with. Well, Momma went to California on a business trip and got to spend a day at Disneyland. She spent that whole day chasing down the Disney Cinderella, trying to get a picture with her because of HER Cinderella at home. That's when she knew that Cinderella was already OURS and needed to become a part of our family.

Well, THIS time Momma was going to be very sure to see the original Cinderella. And she didn't just want a picture with her this time! She took a picture of my sissy in her Cinderella Howl-o-ween costume and asked Princess Cinderella to sign it. Well, Princess Cinderella thought it was just the cutest thing EVER (of course it was) and showed it off to the photographer and the other people in line and even Princess Rapunzel next door! Then after she'd signed it, Momma pulled out ANOTHER copy of the picture that my sissy Cinderella had pawtographed for the princess! It was a very special meeting. Momma cried a bunch.

 I'm glad Momma had fun on her trip, and I'm so so so so proud of her for finishing her marathon!! She ran for like 87 hours, or 5:54:14. Pretty much the same thing. And as for us, we stayed at home, languishing away with hardly ANY attention from the pet-sitter.

It was ruff, furiends. I won't lie. But it was worth it for my momma to fulfill her dream. And now we've got her BACK! And we're not letting go again.

Meet the Administration! Directors of Furiends in Furever Homes

Welcome to the next stop on the tour of the co-Mayorz Murphy and Stanley's new administration. Cinderella and I are honored to serve as co-Directors of Furiends in Furever Homes. This is a position we've served in since Mayoress Madi's administration, and it's something we're passionate about.

As some of you know, the Legacy Chronicles is unique because I'm not blogging for myself. This is the official blog of Legacy Boxer Rescue, the pawesome rescue that saved me AND my sissy Cinderella. We were both in pretty bad condition when LBR stepped in and saved our lives.

I nearly died waiting for a foster home while I got sicker and hotter, thrown out in a backyard.

Cinderella was probably used as a breeder for a puppy mill. She had her last litter in the shelter, and she was so super sick when she was rescued that it was months before she was adoptable.

 Because of how impawtant LBR was to OUR lives, Cinderella and I consider it our mission to help other doggies in need! That's why I signed up to be the official LBR blogger and share the word. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Blogville and was able to reach all SORTS of amazing pups and kittehs out there who are just as passionate about helping animals in need.

Tiana, my furst foster sister (other than Cinderella!), with her new brothers 

Some of you foster pups just like we do. I love hearing all the amazing stories you tell about your foster dogs on their searches for their pawfect furever home!

Pumba, my foster brother

Others help animals in need in other ways, by helping out with fundraising, planning activities, or going to events to spread the word about your breed and your rescue. It's so impawtant to press the flesh -- or the fur! -- and put a face on rescue for all the people out there who don't know what the difference is between a rescue and a puppy mill.

BeeYOUtiful Vivian, who Momma calls the one that got away!

I think it's so special that almost EVERYONE out there in Blogville has their own rescue or shelter that they're passionate about and help. I loves seeing all the posts people share about their rescue's events, their foster dogs, and donations they make to local shelters.

Briar Rose, another foster sissy! 

So that's where Cinderella and I come in! As Directors of Furiends in Furever Homes, it's our job to encourage all of Blogville's citizens to keep our less-fortunate furiends in mind and support your favorite rescues and shelters!

Over the next year, Cinderella and I want to host some blog hops that will highlight ways you can support the rescue or shelter of your choice. You don't have to be able to foster a dog or give lots of green papers to help save dogs and cats from dying in shelters and support them on their way to finding a furever home just like WE enjoy!

So let's all remember how fortunate we are, and keep in mind all of our furiends out there who are still waiting. If you have any ideas for grreat ways to spread the word around Blogville and encourage people to support their local shelters and rescues, please let us know! Let's help find everypup and everycat a home!

GO MOMMA GO!!!

I am barking my heart out to say GO MOMMA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Momma is running her furst ever MARATHON today!! That's, like, 87 miles. (Momma says it's 26.2. That sounds like 87 to me!) She's been training super hard for months and months, and I'm SO proud of her!

We're hopping over to join Madi's Box Bash at Sarge's place! See you there!! Do you think Madi will like all the pawesome boxes we brought her??

Congratz to the new Mayorz!!

It's Inauguration Day, and all Blogville is abuzz! I can't wait to proudly watch our new co-Mayorz, Murphy and Stanley, be sworn into office today. Then we're going to wave and cheer during the Inaugural Parade. We'll be all worn out by the time the Pajama Pawty at Dory's kicks off! OMD.

There's lots going on, so go check it all out! We'll be here proudly flying the Blogville flag.

PeeS: I'm going to be super busy going to all the events... but I won't be commenting on any of the posts. See, Momma left eeeeeeeeeearly this morning on a super-sekrit trip! (All she'll say is she's going to be visiting a giant Mouse. How weird is that??) We have a very special friend, Miss Kristen, hanging out with all of us at the house this week while she's gone! Momma told me that Miss Kristen is not a very good transcriptionist, so we won't be posting other than a few pre-scheduled posts I dictated to Momma. I'll bark a whole bunch as soon as Momma gets back!

Pupdate!

Baby Shawnee and Baby Cherokee have gotten so big! They're old enough to have fun playing with Momma Shyanne. Tell me they're not just the cutest things ever!

Awwwwww! :D And grreat news -- Shawnee has found his furever family!! He's adoption pending now, and his new pawrents are LBR volunteers! I love it when our pups stay in the family. He'll be staying with Momma Shyanne a little longer, but he's super happy to have his own family waiting for him. I know Cherokee will soon too!
