This amazing and wonderful dog, Thor, became a real hero today! His family’s home caught on fire when the family was asleep and he went into the bedroom and jumped on the bed and demanded that his mom and dad get up and get out of the house!!!

And then, Mom and Dad turned to move toward the bassinet to get their three month old baby, only to discover that Thor had already dragged the bassinet all the way to the bedroom door!!!!! Way to go, Thor! You absolutely rock, dude!! And you help to make a good name for your breed. Rotten humans have ‘tarnished’ your breed with their nefarious activities, but your actions today really show that you are just as much man’s best friend as any other dog!!

Donations to the family may be directed through the Elkhart County Red Cross. Call (574) 293-6519

You can read all kinds of good stuff about pit bulls at The Truth About Pitbulls, an information-packed site by a wonderful animal crusader!!

That was really cool that the birds were not so ‘far trained’ that they couldn’t still respond to kindness. The ones you see on Animal Cops (that have already been fighting) are just so far gone that they have to euthanize them. So sad. So it was wonderful to see these birds respond to human touch and the soft voice the man was using with them.

Oh that face! That precious face! There’s NO resisting it! Especially knowing that he is a rescue! I just keep staring at that picture, because, he (she) is so darned cute! My sweet Lucky Puppy came from the Dallas SPCA and I could never thank them enough for rescuing my darling boy so that he could join our family. He had brought so much love and joy to our lives, it is really un-expressable.

I hope that you will watch their video of their successes this year. It really is an amazing organization. I’m just gonna shut up now and let ya’ll go watch the video, before I go and get all mushy and stuff!

I just love this picture of Puppy! It cracks me up! And I’m testing out the new LOLPress plug in that works with the Cheezburger Network that I found on Jesse Luna’s blog. Thanks, Jesse!

Is he cute, or what?? I swear, that dog puts up with more crap from us! LOL This was when he’d gotten this new sweater and Shawn wanted to put his hood up like a gangster. And of course, Puppy just tolerated it. He’s so mellow.

There was one problem with that sweater, though. There’s no cut out for …uh.. you know …voiding – emptying the bladder. So yeah, gets it wet every. single. time. I always feel so bad pulling it over his head to take it off, because, I know it must be touching him. Ick! He never seems to care, though. He doesn’t wear it that often, but, he does seem to like it.

I saw a picture of a dog online the other day with one that was amply cut out for all that peeing business that needs to happen. Need to get one of those. Or I could just cut this one and have Grandma sew a seam on it.

Ok, now ya’ll have a coupla jobs to do. Frealz.

1. Tell me in the comments how uberly, awesomely cute my dog is.
2. Hover over the picture and click on ‘Caption this Image’ and LOLDog my Puppy!!
3. Share this post with your friends so Puppy can get Super LOL-ified!

Thank you times eight million if you do one, two, or all three of these things! You’re the best!!!

I seriously am. Completely and totally smitten with this precious, eenky weenky kittykens!!!! Love her! (Him?)

She reminds me of when Patrick was a newborn (my oldest – who’s 16 now and WAY taller than I!) – he fit on the bathroom counter – perpendicular to the mirror – not sideways! That’s tiny! Newborns are small!! And he was not exactly a small newborn either. Heh.

It’s especially small, however, for someone who is growing about six inches daily! And I know he’s in a growth spurt right now, because, his Sensory Integration Dysfunction issues are rearing their ugly heads! He swears his clothes are shrinking and they’re so uncomfortable etc etc… I know, I know, if he’s growing, they are shrinking, right? Well, sure, but not to the degree that he is complaining about them! And he complained the other day that his band jacket was smaller – and that jacket is not a material that ever shrinks. The lining could shrink, but, not the outside. Well, anyway – remind me to tell you what I know about and what we’ve been through (go through) with SID one day. It’s been eye-opening, that’s for sure.

This post, however, is about this little cute kitten. And what it reminds me of -you guys let me get way off track again, didn’t you?

See, I would lie Patrick’s itty bitty self on that bathroom counter and he would do those ‘newborn sneezes’ – you know the ones? I don’t know if they all do it – or maybe they just don’t all do it as cute as Patrick did it. Oh. my. gawd. I couldnt’ get enough – it was so completely adorable!!!!

And it looked a lot like this…..
