Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!

Today Momma is taking Grandma out for Mother's Day. I loves my Grandma. She pets and spoils me, and when we visit she makes sure we get LOTS of cuddle time to make up for not letting us sleep in the bed with her. (Her one flaw!)

So happy Mother's Day, Grandma. You're the best!

I see you...

Lost & Found

You know, folks, the pawesome volunteers here at LBR just never cease to amaze me. I already know there's nothing these folks won't do to help one of our LBR dogs. But they don't discriminate! If a boxer needs help, they spring into action. Case in point: Moxie.

Isn't he a handsome guy? Yeah, you can tell he loves to run. Which is the problem. Once upon a time -- well, on April 5 -- his neighbors accidentally opened the gate while he was out on his morning ablutions, and he decided to go for a little walkabout. Well, he got lost and skeered, and he couldn't find his way home! His worried family looked everywhere for him. Lots of neighbors were seeing him, so they knew he was still alive, but no one could catch him, not even Animal Control!

Finally, on April 22, Moxie's worried momma contacted LBR to see if we could help. Immediately LBR volunteers started mobilizing to search his neighborhood. They searched . . . and searched . . . and searched. They were out for hours at a time. They went back for days on end. They got really close a few times, but they couldn't quite find him! Finally, they borrowed a trap from a local animal shelter and set it up. Sure enough...

We got 'im!!!! April 29, after 24 days on the run, Moxie was back in safe hands and was reunited with his family. I think they were all pretty happy about it.

How's that for a happy ending??? We here at LBR are so so so happy that Moxie is home again. The volunteers who searched and searched for him are pretty attached by now too. Last night, some of them went to visit Moxie and his family, and brought him a special treat to remind him that it's GOOD to stay home where you belong!

And they all lived happily ever after. :)

Throwback Thursday: My chair

This is me in my chair waaaay back when I was in my foster home, not long after I was rescued.

This is me in my NEW chair after I got adopted. Very regal, aren't I?

Visitors!

Guess whats, everybody?? Momma promised me a special surprise yesterday. I tried and tried to figure it out while I snoopervised Momma getting the house all clean. That should've been my hint. VISITORS were coming! And not just any visitors -- my boy, Auntie Jess, and TWO people I'd never seen before!

When my boy comes over, he puts on a special jacket and gets down to wrestle with me. Oh BOY!!

We both were a little tired, so we settled down for snuggles.

I let everyone else get some lovings too.

Cinderella says Miss Christina has very nice hands.

Even grumpy ol' Scribbles got in on it!

But we all know who they were really there to see!

I love my boy. His visits are the BEST!!

Pulling out my secret weapon

I bet all of you has a secret weapon. The ONE look or thing that will make everybuddy around you melt and give you whatever you want. For my sissy Cinderella, it's the head-tilt.

That looks just makes Momma squee and say "whatever you want, baby!" For me, I pull out...

The Eyes.

Oh yeah. Just like that. I give Momma this look, and I can have anything I want. Treats, snuggles, new toys, a new car -- I don't think there's anything I can't get with these eyes. So I'm going to pull out my secret weapon today, because there's something very impawtant that I want.

Ahem...

Maggie Mae, Blogville Date Day is coming up on May 19th. I can't think of anyone I'd rather take than my beeYOUtiful girl. Will you be my date please?
