Get a Great All-Weather Coat, Help a Great Cause (Cheap too!)

Dear dog lover,

We are pleased to announce that again for a limited time, Friends of Homeless Animals will mail a dog Jacket to anyone who donates $15 or more (shipping included).

This water-resistant, all-weather jacket (Zack & Zoeytm) with removable sherpa lining is easy to put on, and the pull-over style also provides added warmth to your dog’s chest. The double velcro® fasteners ensure that the jacket stays secure on your dog’s body.

Available colors are green camo and pink camo, in sizes x-small to Large while supplies last. Please see pictures at:

To inquire about availability and sizing, please email Annie at dufour.annie@gmail.com.

You can donate through Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ E-mail address to use for “pay to” is: FriendsoHA@yahoo.com by visiting: http://members.petfinder.com/~RI76/volunteer.html

If you prefer to make your donation by mail, please email me and I will send you the address.

Rocco just got his coat and he loves it! It is well worth the small donation, especially with the removable sherpa lining and it goes under the waist and buckles on the top to keep the sherpa lining close for warmth in the upcoming cold months. Spoke to the organizer today, all sizes available except pink XS. Here is Rocco modeling his new coat (which shipped super quick!)

Please Consider (Makes a Great Gift too!)

Rocco Gets Away for Some R+R

Rocco's turn to go to Maine for a weekend escape, he isn't feeling too bad about leaving Dexter behind and having his Momo all to himself. Even though the Goob loves Maine, he doesn't love sharing his peoples with other dogs, so as to not overwhelm the new baby Lager Rocco took the trip up to Maine. I'm sure Goobster is being treated well by his daddy...

Dog Park Fun

Rocco made a new friend at the dog park today. Very handsome white boxer. They had a good (and tiring!) time.

Happy Birthday Rocco!

Happy 5th Birthday wishes for Rocco! He enjoyed a special (and busy) birthday weekend with doggy daycare, a playdate at the dog park with his girlfriend Chloe, a trip to Nichols College for the homecoming weekend football game, a visit to Pawsmopolitan for the Curly Tail Pug Rescue, a giant new Cuz toy, sweater and leash/collar set.......and....

Rocco's favorite part- a birthday cake of chicken McNuggets!

Here are pics throughout the weekend

Curly Tail Pug Rescue

Rocco went to Pawsmopolitan for a fundraiser party for Curly Tail Pug Rescue and had a blast. We took home lots of goodies, and no pugs unfortunately because they were all so adorably sweet. Rocco especially had a fun time playing with a young pug named Yoda (as much as possible as Yoda has special health restrictions right now) and a really cute, very tiny BT girl.

Rescues are also suffering the tough economic climate, more and more dogs are being turned over to rescues and shelters as their owners are no longer able to provide for their basic needs, housing or medical needs and as everyone has less and less money, there are fewer and fewer donations to help lessen the burden on volunteer-based rescues.

If you can help with adoption, donating money, time or supplies, here is the link to Curly Tails Pug Rescue: http://www.curlytailpugrescue.org/

Fall Photo Shoot (Attempts)

I'm trying to get some fall pics done for the boys to go in our dinner party invitations and for our Woofboard Halloween/Fall card swap. Friday afternoon was my first shoot, pretty much a complete bust, these are the only salvageable pictures that resulted. I will have to try again when I have a helper, trying to juggle leashes, bait and take pics was difficult to say the least...

Together: these were the only ones were they sorta looked in the vicinity of the camera
