Blog The Change, How My Life Was Saved!
Greetings buddies!
Mom was at an impasse as to what to write about regarding "Blogging The Change". So many bloggers have written about so many important topics, she was at a loss.
So, I've decided to write a little bit about the rescue group that literally saved my life. As many of you know, mom found me through Petfinder.com. Thank goodness fur Petfinder.com! We often wonder how many pets found their forever homes thanks to them.
Anyway, several years ago, mom decided she needed a new dog (after her Mathilda went to the Rainbow Bridge). While surfing through Petfinder, she came upon a photo of a wee coonhound. The background story: A litter of Treeing Walker Coonhound puppies were left at a Georgia "kill" shelter, all suffering from Parvo. Parvo is often a death sentence, and for a litter of unwanted puppies, it seemed as if we were doomed.
Thankfully, Eleventh Hour Rescue, based in Rockaway, NJ, worked one of their many miracles and transported me and my littermates from Georgia to New Jersey. Once here, their wonderful vets treated and cured us of Parvo. According to our vet, I was a very lucky pup indeed! Parvo is a killer! In our part of the country most dogs are vaccinated against it, but in some states, it's not required.
And remember Daniel, the gas chamber survivor? Thanks to Eleventh Hour Rescue, he's on his way to a furever home too!
We're forever grateful to Eleventh Hour Rescue and my fosters Danelle and John! We try to attend all their events, but we really love going to their annual Puptoberfest! It's like a big reunion of all the rescues, and they showcase all the fosters waiting fur their forever homes!
Please remember, we can all make a difference and everyone can help make a change! Hoping that all pets find their forever homes, just like I did!

Anderson Cooper!
Well, as some people would say, the cat's out of the bag!
A couple of weeks ago, mom was sent on a mission from BarkWorld Expo. She and Neely (@theGivingPaw) were given tickets to see the Anderson Cooper Show about Extreme Pets.
The guests included Anais Hayden, with her vegan dyed dogs (looking fabulous!),

There was a quick presentation of jewelry made from cat hair, made by Flora Davis, which was very interesting. Mom's seen some of this sort of thing on Etsy. I hope she's not getting any ideas *shaking head*!
There were lots of video clips. She was thrilled to see Jasmine and highlights from Steadman's wedding at BarkWorld Expo last year!
Beyonce, the world's smallest puppy made an appearance also. This tiny pup is so lucky. Her mom was due to be euthanized, but was rescued by the Grace Foundation. When the puppies were born, tiny Beyonce almost didn't make it. Thanks to the humans, she's thriving and will be a terrific spokesdog for rescuing dogs all over!

I think I need to be a guest on the next "Extreme Pets" on Anderson's show. I'd fit right in!

Mischevious Monday!
Normally I'm the culprit here, but this weekend, mom has crossed the line!
I've reported on the porch kitties in earlier posts, but I knew mom was thinking of ways to help them. Unfortunately, shelters are pretty full in our area and she hated to think that they might be destroyed if she turned them in.
Well, Tigger kitty helped her make up her mind yesterday. Mom hadn't seen her in a couple of days and feared the worst. Then, while in the front room upstairs, Wren and Sparrow went nuts! They ran to the window all floofed up! Miss Tigger was right outside the window. Somehow she got stuck on the porch roof! Yikes!
Although I advised against it (I am a dog after all, and already outnumbered here), Mom brought Ms. Tigger in through the window. And of course couldn't let her back outside *sigh*.
Later this evening, she had the nerve to bring Mr. Marmalade in (Ms. Tigger's brother). Evidently, mom has lost her mind to kitties! Oh well, she's the mischevious one today, fur sure!
More details to follow buddies!
Thanks Snoopy fur hosting the Hop!

What A Week!
Hi Buddies! Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to all everyone! Mom really intended to get my post up sooner, but it's been a busy week here at Prudie's Place.
Tuesday mom came home to find our front door's glass broken, she freaked out! Thankfully I was home and scared theb*****d person away. Nobody got in, thanks to my fierce barking abilities, but mom was pretty upset. So the police came. Of course the officer was very impressed by me, bol! He said I was a hero, can you believe that? What a great judge of character!
Then she needed to get the door fixed so I wouldn't get hurt by the broken glass and nobody can get in. I'm a little surprised those porch kitties didn't do more to protect us, but I digress.
On top of that, it's St. Patrick's Day. Mom is just a little involved with an Irish group, so this whole month keeps her busy. There's a flag raising, parades, lunches *sigh*, I just wish she could stay home with me (or at least take me to lunch)!
Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bolwage, Div. President Jennifer Goodman (& her dad in the background with the flags).
We'll post pictures from the parade as soon as she finds her cable *shaking head*. Mom likes to think she's organized, but ... not so much I'm afraid, BOL!
Thanks fur stopping by, have a great week!

Please Help Reunite a Marine With Her Service Dog!
Baroooo buddies!
Photo credit Peter Carr/The Journal News
Megan Leavey and Rex served together in Iraq, where they both were disabled by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). Megan has left the service in 2007 with a Purple Heart and has been trying to adopt Rex since then. Since Rex was too valuable as a working dog, her requests were denied.
Recently Rex has been diagnosed with nerve paralysis, which leaves him unable to serve. Pets For Patriots is helping to spread the word and create awareness so that the military will allow Megan to adopt Rex and then she'll be able to take care of him for the rest of his life.
You can read all about it here , then please spread the word!
Word of mouth is a powerful thing and mom believes that the blogging community, especially the anipal community, can work wonders! Please share Megan's story with anyone that you think may be able to help.
Thanks buddies!
Always a little late but glad we made it to the hop!
