Lily Sneak Peak
Last Saturday, I met the sweetest Long-Haired Chihuahua, Lily. Not only was she a total sweetheart, but she was so adorable (even though it was her nap time and she was clearly a sleepy girl).
Lily was such a good model and the camera loved her!

Prop B Passed in Missouri!
Missouri's weak laws regulating commercial kennels had made the state a haven for substandard breeders, aka puppy mills. Missouri is home to 1/3 of commercial dog-breeding facilities in the US and provides more than 40% of all puppies sold in pet stores through out the country.
Prop B (also known as the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act) was a citizen supported initiative. It will provide relief to tens of thousands of adult breeding dogs not to mention the approximately 1,000,000 puppies born in Missouri kennels each year. This is a huge victory and hope that other states will follow suit.

Ollie, Max, Bassie, and Pixie - Sneak Peak
This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting four wonderful dogs and their four wonderful people. Thank you Julie, Bob, Jessica, and Peter for welcoming me into your home and letting me play with photograph your beautiful pack.
Julie actually won a Deluxe session from me at the Guardian Angel Basset Rescue Waddle 2010 that took place in Dwight, IL last month. I couldn't have been more excited to meet her entire crew.
Without further delay, I present to you Max (age 4), Bassie (age 15), Pixie (age 16/17 - not sure as she is a rescue), and last but not least Ollie (age 4 months).
Much more to come!

Sign this petition to tell Burger King to stop canine profiling!
Here is the petition text:
Burger King's new breakfast commercial depicting a mailman walking down the street with two dogs hanging off him singing "Rottweilers and pit bulls-doing the mailman thing" is extremely offensive to dog lovers.
This ill-conceived commercial reinforces the stereotypes of pit bulls and Rottweilers as dangerous dogs. It will fuel breed discriminatory legislation costing innocent dogs their lives. As we have seen from the Michael Vick case and the new book, the Lost Dogs, all dogs are individuals and should be judged by their temperament not their breed.
I urge Burger King to reject canine profiling and help stop breed discrimination by pulling this offensive commercial.
Thank you for your consideration.

Can you help Cain?
In June 2010, this dog (dubbed Cain) was surrendered to Dog Deserve Better by his owner (who thought he deserved better) after a gang retaliation left the poor guy with a broken back. He has made a lot of progress, but still has a long way to go. DDB are taking donations to help Cain get the allergy meds/vaccines that he needs as well as doggy wheelchair. I know he will appreciate any little bit anyone could give.
You can also "Like" Cain's Facebook page, see lots of cute pictures, and follow his progress.
Gang members may have broken my back but NOTHING can break my spirit!
I need a therapeutic doggie wheelchair to help me continue my journey towards learning to walk again and immunotherapy to help me with all my itchies!
I have more allergies than I thought possible. That's what happens to us wonderful white pibbles...we have very sensitive systems. Immunotherapy will help me to not be allergic to grass, bugs, trees, HUMANS, and even molds. I dont want to have to live in a bubble...please help!
