PAWS Mutt Strut!

Hi bloggie furends! My Mommy is goin' to steal my bloggie to ask for the support of your owners, but I'll let her 'splain.

Hi! I'm Owen's Mommy. As you know, I strongly support adoption and rescue (and responsible breeding, but that's for another post). I have been volunteering for almost 3 years with the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (aka PAWS), a no-kill, all-breed rescue. Each year, near Halloween, they have their annual Mutt Strut!

This year, on Saturday, October 30, PAWS supporters (and their dogs) will walk 1.5 miles in scenic Franklin D. Roosevelt Park to raise funds and awareness for PAWS' efforts to save Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals.

I have joined Team "I Shih Tzu Not," and I am asking for donations. Anything that you can contribute makes a difference.

If you would prefer, you can also make a donation of an item from the PAWS wish list (scroll to the bottom of the linked page). Please send me an email at NestLMFB{at}gmail dot com to make arrangements.

And I promise that if I receive any donations from posting this request on Owen's website, I will post advance pictures of Carl and Reese in their Mutt Strut/Halloween costumes!

2009 Year in Review Part III

So, here's the last of my pikshurs.

At Howl-o-ween, Mommee immortalized my likeness in a pumpkin! It's a Owen-o-Lantern!



And at Crimmas, Santa Paws brought me presents!



I can opens, right, Mommee?




I helps Reese out wif her present.




Yay! A new toy to tug with!

So, that's my 2009! Hope you all have a great 2010!

Duuuude . . . I think I had some bad kibble

So, last night, Mommee and Daddee got a pizza for dinner (and didn't give ME any!!). They ate their pizza and put away the leftovers (instead of giving them to ME!!).

Then, somebuddy knocked on the door. And a guy carrying a chicken held up a bag, and Mommee put some candy in it!

Then Mommee took a bowl (like for noms, but it was HUGE) and a chair outside, and we sat on the front steps. And all these weird creatures came to our door and Mommee kept givin' em candy. There was a walking, talking banana, and Buzz Lightyear, and Princess Leia, and one of the Phillies players (which confuzed me, cuz I thought they was playing baseball!), and a lot of scary monster! And Mommee kept givin' em candy! And didn't give ME any!

So, anyway, today, I'z feeling better and no strange creatures came to our door. Mommee left for the shelter (where she helps other doggies find homes like mine!). Daddee packed up his clothes, like for a REALLY long vacation, but this time, I got to come!

We're vacationing at Gramma and Grampa's! Daddee says we're gonna be here for a while, and Mommee's gonna stay home with Reese and Kieran. I gonna miss my Mommee, but I'll try and email her my bloggy updates.
