That Friday Feeling

Hello, long time no blog again, sorry. Hope you are all well.

We had some more bad news about Jasper recently, the vets found a tumour in his abdomen area :( Due to his heart problem and general fragility, in discussion with various vets, Muzzle and Dad decided not to put him through surgery or anything else invasive. So we are counting each day with him as a blessing. He is doing ok at the moment and still up for little walks.

I did have some Good News recently though, following my last blood test for my liver enzyme levels. Visit Muzzle's Blog to read about it :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Love Minnie-Moo xxx

Just Another Black Dog

Hello, although we are in the UK, we have recently discovered an amazing lady called Ashley who is in Mississippi in the United States, who dedicates her life to helping dogs and runs the Lucky Dog Rescue.

As the wise amongst us know already, black dogs are truly wonderful, beautiful creatures. However the unenlightened don't yet feel the same way and Ashley has a gorgeous dog called Pepsi who has been a foster dog for two years :( She is obviously very much loved and taken care of but this gorgeous girl is looking for a forever home of her very own.

Here is the gorgeous Pepsi (photo posted with permission from Lucky Dog Rescue)

You can read more about Pepsi HERE on Ashley's post called Just Another Black Dog (we don't think there's any such thing, we're all unique and fabulous!). If you know of anyone who might be able to offer her the BEST home, please tell them about her.

Love,

Minnie-Moo, one of many very special black dogs in this world

Muzzle's new blog - take a look

Hello friends. Wondered if some of you might take a few minutes to pop by and take a look at Muzzle's new blog and leave a comment to let her know what you think of it. She's not as clever as me so it took her a while longer to set hers up than it took me to do my new design :)

You can find it HERE. Her first post on the new place is about National Dog Adoption Month, which seemed appropriate, given that we're all rescue dogs and her passion for helping dogs.

Hope you like it. Here's my brother Max, AKA Mr Moo, who very kindly taught me how to hunt out apples in the garden :-)

Love Minnie-Moo

Oldies Club Saved My Life - Please vote for Jasper

Please click here to read my brother's story and vote for him - he's trying to get the most votes to win a donation for Oldies Club, a dog rescue charity in the UK.

Thank you!

Muzzle and Jasper, just days after Oldies Club saved his life.

Angels Among Us

Our thought for the weekend ...

As some of my blog friends already know, Muzzle is involved with a UK dog rescue charity called Oldies Club, which rescues and rehomes dogs aged 7+. That's how my new old brother Jasper came to live with us.


We know many of you are in the US, so Muzzle wanted me to let you know about a few similar rescue groups she has heard of.

There's Angels Among Us Animal Sanctuary - link.

There's also the Grey Muzzle Organisation - link.

Oh (and edit), knew there would be more - there's also the Old Dog Haven - link.

She's sure there are more and will link to them if she remembers/finds them. If you know of any others helping older dogs, tell us :-) Check them out for your next doggie friend/to see if you can help them :)

We love the "oldies" and wish that all dogs had lovely homes. Muzzle sometimes (often) is in tears because dogs are being put down because there aren't enough good homes. Please think about making your next dog a rescue dog. There are breeds, ages, sizes and personalities of rescue dog to suit every nice owner.

We are all rescue dogs here and we get on brilliantly, snuggle up on the sofa together and look appealingly for treats together too.

Muzzle says rescue dogs are wonderful ... have a great weekend.

Love Minnie-Moo and an emotional Muzzle
