I always tell people that they HAVE teeth, so they CAN bite! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I honestly don't even understand why people always ask me that question! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They're dogs! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just don't do anything that deserves a bite and you won't be bitten. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Disclaimer: My dogs have never bitten anyone. But its not a matter of ability. </span></span>Jenn!ferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131663107651825219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681346766357648316.post-49574304862460622142010-03-18T14:23:00.000-07:002010-03-18T14:43:33.505-07:00RegretBefore I started fostering, I thought I would get attached to every dog that brought into my home. I thought it would be absolutely heart wrenching to say good bye to each dog. <br />
<br />
But that wasn't the case.<br />
<br />
In fact, oftentimes, it was exciting to see them go! Yes, I was sad, and yes I loved them all. But, this meant that I could make my way back to "Doggie Death Row" and find a new soul to save! <br />
<br />
That was, until I met Elliott.<br />
Elliott was my love.<br />
To this day, I cannot think about him without wishing I would have never let him go.<br />
This was my first glimpse of Elliott:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3p3oFNW7Iwxju7wywg9rfFDcISwRrH8wy4acL_cYx47pBtpebVIihi1e9_PguXQ0E01PVhgNxNodTGqV5tsNEPw-SE34xf3CTsabiZa7mkh-4PVuuIe_O_wdG2pgTKquxevW6Rf6X6AA0/s1600-h/noname.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3p3oFNW7Iwxju7wywg9rfFDcISwRrH8wy4acL_cYx47pBtpebVIihi1e9_PguXQ0E01PVhgNxNodTGqV5tsNEPw-SE34xf3CTsabiZa7mkh-4PVuuIe_O_wdG2pgTKquxevW6Rf6X6AA0/s320/noname.jpeg" /></a></div><br />
The head of the rescue emailed all the volunteers to see if anyone wanted to foster him. <br />
And I was the sucker that agreed.<br />
Elliott got his name, because he looked so pathetic and nasty that he reminded me of ET. I thought it would be mean to name him ET, so ET transposed into Elllllliiiiiotttttt.<br />
<br />
I'll be honest. I have no idea why I agreed to even take him in. He was a black, male Pit Bull mix and that is one of the hardest combinations of factors to adopt out. On top of which, he had severely bowed legs from malnutrition and had a nasty case of demodectic mange! <br />
But I went and picked him up anyway. <br />
And I immediately fell in love with him. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuVi3rAPh-tZ6GKgJws3RC7swo0aoVm9ii4TpdxdSUmPaTnHgQH74qdxqm6z6zbwNj1MlD81A7MBLmddrG2ypdyRAAaeAhlOp2uur1VxZttTDvem0MnqPGtQ75oro3VmimxDUHtPWJAvx/s1600-h/n48600407_32434124_7931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuVi3rAPh-tZ6GKgJws3RC7swo0aoVm9ii4TpdxdSUmPaTnHgQH74qdxqm6z6zbwNj1MlD81A7MBLmddrG2ypdyRAAaeAhlOp2uur1VxZttTDvem0MnqPGtQ75oro3VmimxDUHtPWJAvx/s400/n48600407_32434124_7931.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Elliott stayed with us for months -- April until August, 2008. It was by far the LONGEST I ever kept a foster. He received daily ivermectin injections for the mange, he was on a slew of antibiotics and pills. He even had to undergo eye surgery for severe bilateral entropion. <br />
This dog was a mess!<br />
Elliott was quickly dubbed with his "Christian name" of Elliott James Stinkbottom, because he smelled so badly from the mange! He was also often referred to (adoringly) as Smelliott!!<br />
But, this puppy had a sweeter disposition than any I have ever fostered. He was intelligent, snuggly, he was loving, well-behaved and so calm. He oftentimes slept in our bed -- much to the chagrin of my husband and the raging jealousy of Hank and Marla!<br />
<br />
But, he was so perfect!<br />
<br />
I desperately tried to get someone I knew to adopt him. If I couldn't keep him, I wanted to at least be able to stay in touch. But that wasn't about to happen.<br />
When the day finally came that I received an outstanding application for him, I was devastated. He had been with us for so long, I couldn't imagine parting with him!<br />
But the applicant had excellent recommendations from both his vet, his landlord and his neighbors. He understood his breed and was willing to do further surgeries if necessary. He was going to give my boy a wonderful home. <br />
I was heartbroken, but I said goodbye. <br />
<br />
I had fostered a lot of dogs, but never shed a tear when one found its new home.<br />
I <i>bawled</i> when Elliott left. <br />
<br />
A few weeks after Elliott went to live with his new family, I emailed his new owner to get a progress report. I was devastated to learn that Elliott James Stinkbottom was now called "Nacho". Yes, as in the Mexican treat. <br />
My sweet, perfect Elliott was now Nacho. <br />
NACHO!!!??!?<br />
<br />
I know I did what was best for him. And I know that because I said goodbye, I was able to foster many more dogs after him. But, nonetheless, I regret that I let him go. <br />
I sincerely wish I would have found a way to be able to keep Elliott as my own.<br />
<br />
Letting him go is my single foster regret.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Elliott, I love you. I hope you are doing well.</div>Jenn!ferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131663107651825219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681346766357648316.post-4789496291136117072010-02-18T20:04:00.000-08:002010-02-18T20:04:19.360-08:00Designer dogs and my gag reflex<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Time and time again, as I cruise Petfinder or walk through the rows of kennels at Animal Control, I will come across a dog that didn't mature the way its 'owners' thought it would. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"My Labradoodle wasn't supposed to shed." "This Puggle was supposed to be smaller than it is." or "This Huskashnoodle didn't keep it's blue eyes."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gag me now. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The age of "Designer breeds" is well upon us and its a bit of a crisis! I have to vomit a little when I hear the name "Labradoodle," "Cockapoo," "Puggle" or any other oodle, doodle, uggle combination that has been rocketed into our society boasting of a "purer gene pool". </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm not going to get in to the biology of breeding two purebred dogs - mainly because I don't know how to create a punnet square on Blogger - but listen up, folks!! There is no way to determine what characteristics puppies will have when you mate two completely different breeds! You can end up with <i>any</i> combination of the characteristics of the parents! Oh, and to clue you in, breeding two faulty dogs will not give you healthier offspring! How do I <i>know</i> that they </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">are</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> faulty?? I know because </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">no</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> responsible owner or breeder of faultless animals would be creating these godawful puppies with godawful names. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let me get back to my beef with the name...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Why is it that I have such an issue with these designer names, exactly? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Surely I couldn't have it out for mutts, could I?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Absolutely not! I love mutts. What I hate are </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">unscrupulous breeders and gimmicks</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The following are a few reasons why I shudder at the mention of an oodle, doodle, or uggle:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Designer dog names perpetuate the misconception that these hybrid dogs are <i>actual breeds</i>. However, these designer breeds are in no way </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">actual</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> breeds and are </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">only</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> produced by irresponsible breeders -- and in many cases puppy mills. By using "designer breed" names and perpetuating the idea that these are real breeds, you are simply encourage people to buy dogs from irresponsible breeders and contribute to the suffering of millions of dogs in this country.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So quit it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You do not have a Maltipom, you have a Maltese-Pomeranian mix. Its not a Labradoodle, its a Labrador-Standard Poodle Mix. AND FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, Its not a Puggle, its a Beagle-Pug mix!! --And and might I add that this is one of the more unfortunate mixes I've seen.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you <i>must</i> call your Lab/Poodle cross a Labradoodle, knock yourself out, but know that I might just vomit in my mouth. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />

However, it might be <i>too</i> high, and my panties may be <i>too</i> bunched -- so I am going to calm down a little and revisit this subject in a few days.Jenn!ferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131663107651825219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681346766357648316.post-18303508016896614372010-02-01T22:20:00.000-08:002010-02-01T22:23:36.535-08:00It is my goal...to find <i>somebody</i> to love these dogs.<br />
<br />
I recently decided to try and make a video of including some of the images I have taken over the last several months. Every week I do my best to visit my local Animal Control and volunteer as a photographer. The images I take are used on their <a href="http://www.petfinder.com/shelterSearch/shelterSearch.cgi?animal=&breed=&age=&size=&specialNeeds=&declawedPets=&children=&status=&id=&internal=&contact=&name=&shelterid=IL116&sort=&preview=">Petfinder Website</a> as well as being forwarded to various rescues and animal organizations. <br />
It is such a small thing to volunteer, but it is my goal to raise as much awareness about these animals as possible. The best way I know how is by photographing them.<br />
Sadly, as I look through the files of my "Death Row Dogs", I know that far too many of them left Animal Control through the back door -- instead of in the arms of a new, forever family.<br />
<br />
So many animals die needlessly in shelters (one approximately every 8 seconds) because of needless breeding and above all: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">ignorance</span>. <br />
Please be a part of the solution. Spay and neuter your pets, and remember:<br />
Don't breed or buy while homeless pets die.<br />

Abby is an amazing, amazing artist. We recently commissioned her to do paintings of Hank and Marla. This is what she gave us:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6L4eZq4wJblFpcxky3lne93V_VFZnzMLSHG1DETJlC5j-u6585OSnuibpjMqb30vN5fnQDpvW2CGp2lcLlIKg5e2rg9Poxx0qTo4xx_f80QLimxC4Ckagu69e1NIY2ERtLE9eOkGJM0c/s1600-h/5968_534338924047_69600499_31787604_2049597_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6L4eZq4wJblFpcxky3lne93V_VFZnzMLSHG1DETJlC5j-u6585OSnuibpjMqb30vN5fnQDpvW2CGp2lcLlIKg5e2rg9Poxx0qTo4xx_f80QLimxC4Ckagu69e1NIY2ERtLE9eOkGJM0c/s320/5968_534338924047_69600499_31787604_2049597_n.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63tovoImiTh08iX9A7zgNenG5dkFw6SwBfILzh8JSWfsj_iqR6BLAH_8rTLrHjYgBj2dtIk0-kp_idoo8zFhaVz7CD_-AbhxjUN_wknNbWP7TZMlA_NAkwgeKNRJXkR82FGvQmLV4OMF9/s1600-h/5968_534491278727_69600499_31796367_6733041_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63tovoImiTh08iX9A7zgNenG5dkFw6SwBfILzh8JSWfsj_iqR6BLAH_8rTLrHjYgBj2dtIk0-kp_idoo8zFhaVz7CD_-AbhxjUN_wknNbWP7TZMlA_NAkwgeKNRJXkR82FGvQmLV4OMF9/s320/5968_534491278727_69600499_31796367_6733041_n.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">When I first saw these paintings, I cried. They are so beautiful, and capture every nuance of their faces and personalities. They are just amazingly incredible. They are now hanging in our dining room and every person who sees them just marvels at their exactness. In fact, more often than not, they think they are photographs!<br />
</div><br />
For Christmas, we once again commissioned her to do a painting. This time of Jake's parent's dog, Deacon. Deacon is climbing up there in age, and we really wanted to immortalize him in one of her pieces.<br />
<br />
This is what she came up with:<br />

<div>Jake and I really enjoy giving back to the community, and one of the ways we like to do it is by helping out our area's homeless animals. A few months ago we did a fundraiser with <a href="http://www.razzledazzledog.net/">Razzle Dazzle Doggie Bowtique</a> to benefit the local Animal Control.<div>The event was a great hit, and they asked us to come back for a holiday, or HOWLiday - if you will - photo fundraiser! This time we decided to give a portion of the proceeds to the<a href="http://crossroadsrescue.org/">Crossroads Shih-Tzu Rescue</a></div><div>We had a great time, and every single available session was quickly booked. Here are a <i>few </i>of the awesome dogs we worked with today:</div><div><br />

This could be purely coincidental, because her leaking is not consistent...BUT<br />
I am hopeful that this did help :)<br />

Instead, it should be explained to children that the real miracle is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">life</span> and that by preventing the birth of some pets you can save the lives of others!!</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 16px;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: normal; font-size:16px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">-Even if I don't want my dog to get fat?</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: 16px; ">Yes. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:13px;">Dogs get fat because they have lazy owners who don't exercise them enough and feed them too much (and generally poor quality foods)! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: 16px; "> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: 16px;">-Even though I heard that its best to let them have one litter?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: 16px;">Yes. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">In fact, the opposite is true.
