Greetings Earthlings!

Had Steph, Chuck, Eric, Gordy over last night.

Steph brought here camera and got some pics of the puppy. Who starts obedience classes next week.

Warner still isnt loving having the puppy here but they have played a few ties. Sorry no action shots, but Pixar has three speeds. Fast, Asleep, and Vibrate. She crashes pretty hard after about 9 PM. And she was very friendly with everyone that came over.

Housebreaking is going well enough. And Pixar is settling in fairly well. And I am pleased with her progress housebreaking. Her and Warner arent buds yet, but they did play a little today.

Pixar is home with her new family the Braidwoods. Hopefully we will have pitcures this weekend when Steph comes over so we can prevail upon her for pictures.

We are getting a new addition to the household. A 6 month old lab mix from the Humane Society named Shorty.


She isnt entirely housebroken yet, but seems to like people and is learning to sit and lie down. She and Warner met today and didnt become best buds, but there was no snarling or fighting so I think she will be a happy addition to the pack.

She really doesnt know her name so we are going to call her Gosalyn, Willow, or Pixar.
What y'all think?

Dog gets medal for saving kids

Tue May 8, 2:53 AM ET

WELLINGTON (AFP) - Nine-year-old Jack Russell terrier George is being honoured with a posthumous bravery medal for saving five New Zealand children from an attack by two pitbulls.

The medal from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) comes after US Vietnam veteran Jerrell Hudman said he was sending his Purple Heart medal to George's owner after hearing of the dog's bravery.

George, who had a heart problem, won fame after defending five children from the pitbulls in the small North Island town of Manaia a week and a half ago. The two pitbulls rushed at the five children on the street, prompting George to charge the much larger dogs as the children escaped.

The Jack Russell was badly mauled by the two pitbulls and later had to be put down because of his extensive injuries. The two pitbulls were also put down.

The SPCA medal is usually awarded to people for their bravery in defending animals.

"George was a very brave little dog who almost certainly prevented severe injury, if not death, to at least one of the children," SPCA chief executive Robyn Kippenberger said.

"It's truly tragic that he paid with his own life for his instinctive act of courage."

Hudman, 58, of Austin, Texas was a US Marine for 30 years and said he decided to send his Purple Heart to George's owner Alan Gay after reading the news on the Internet because the dog was "a little warrior".

The Purple Heart is awarded to those killed or injured fighting for the US military.

This dog better get some really good food for a while. Pups reading this blog take note.


( Super-dog! )

When I saw this in the paper I couldnt believe it, who the hell would do this? The reward is up to 10K now.

I havent posted a dog story in a while, so here it is. I like this part of the story best:

"The dog probably saved their lives" by lying across them during the cold night, said Erik Brom, a member of the Portland Mountain Rescue team. He described the wind in the canyon as "hellacious."

I just want to know what the dogs name is.

Now this is neat. Anything that might help kids read more is a good idea in my book.
