Talking Husky!

Gunther, Pixie's puppy turned out to be such a busy little bee, that I was happy to see him go live with his new family. I couldn't keep up with him. He is a real cutie, and he was certainly well taken care of.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I feel like I've been out of touch for a while, and I have been. I've had lots of rescue work to do recently. We have had 4 new dogs here since I last wrote.
We rescued a mommy dog in the desert near the border of Mexico in the Nogales area.
We have a kind hearted volunteer who brings up animals frequently for us. She is a Sheriff's deputy and she spends off hours finding places for all the animals she finds out there.
Anyway, that week she brought us Pixie, a darling but depleted little Shepherd mix. She looks like a miniature German Shepherd, but she has a stumpy tail.
She was skin and bones and scars, but her pup was fat and sassy. He looked like a little Chow. His name is Gunther. Just full of P*ss and vinegar, that little one.
Pixie had a bad case of worms, it really freaked me out when I saw it. She's been treated, and she is fine now. She's warm and loving and completely housetrained.
I just can't imagine how she ended up with a pup, dumped in the desert to fend for herself. She had tape worms, which is a sign she'd been living off of birds and rabbits she caught herself out there. Breaks your heart.
Gunther is adopted, and hopefully Pixie will be finding her forever home soon.

Greyfriar's Bobby

This is a wonderful book, and it's really a true story.
I have seen the grave, and the statue of the wee dog.

Let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all


The Story

In 1858, a man named John Gray was buried in old Greyfriars Churchyard. His grave levelled by the hand of time, and unmarked by any stone, became scarcely discernible; but, although no human interest seemed to attach to it.

The sacred spot was not wholly disregarded or forgotten. For fourteen years the dead man's faithful dog kept constant watch and guard over the grave until his own death in 1872.

The famous Skye Terrier, Greyfriars Bobby was so devoted to his master John Gray, even in death, for fourteen years Bobby lay on the grave only leaving for food.

It is reported that a daily occurance of people from all walks of life would stand at the entrance of the Kirkyard waiting for the one o'clock gun and the appearance of Bobby leaving the grave for his midday meal.

Bye Baby

Bye Baby


No more lonely cold nights or hearing that I'm bad
No more growling belly from the meals I never had.
No more scorching sunshine with a water bowl that's dry.
No more complaining neighbors about the noise when I cry.
No more hearing "shut up", "get down" or "get out of here"!
No more feeling disliked, only peace is in the air.
Euthanasia is a blessing, though some still can't see
why I was ever born If I weren't meant to be.
My last day of living was the best I ever had.
Someone held me very close, I could see she was very sad.
I kissed the lady's face, and she hugged me as she cried.
I wagged my tail to thank her, then I closed my eyes and died.

Onyx is a Safe Dog I adopted. He's a sweet precious dog.

This is what kitties do.

This is another one of our available puppies....

Scrap books

I'm really enjoying making scrapbook pages of the animals.
Here's the latest, the dog is Tessa, and she is still available for adoption.
She's a Min Pin with a slight weight problem...she's not pregnant.
She has been spayed, and is microchipped and ready to go.
She is sweet and funny. Call 520-349-8637 or go to www.safeanimals.com to apply for her.

Saturday 7-25-09 Adoptions

We had a great day today, and found homes for at least 4 puppies and 2 purebred Boxers. I'll miss my foster, Minnie Mouse. She is the cutest! Minnie is going to live with a nice girl named Rebecca. I know she will have a happy life, and it doesn't get any better than this.

Hasta Luego Taco Bell Dog

Hasta luego, Taco Bell dog . . . We’ll miss you!
July 22nd, 2009, 11:40 am · 11 Comments · posted by Samantha Gowen, Pet Tales editor

You only have to yap the phrase and a visage of tiny dog with huge ears and a big toothy grin comes to mind.

“Yo quiero Taco Bell.”

Gidget — the Chihuahua made famous by the Taco Bell advertising campaign — died of a stroke at age 15.

Gidget’s owner, Karen McElhatton, tells Usmagazine.com Gidget passed away Sunday.

“She had a good day and was running around as normal,” McElhatton, tells Usmagazine. “We’re happy that she was very well off right until the end.”
Are there tacos in heaven?

* Yes



In addition to her gig as “spokesdog” for Irvine-based Taco Bell, Gidget appeared in a commercial for the ’90s edition of Trivial Pursuit and played Bruiser’s mom in Legally Blonde 2 (Moonie, the dog who played Bruiser, was her best friend and sometime roommate at Chipperton’s house).
