Kirby here-
Well mom got a new book to read. It's called "Dogs and the women who love them", by Allen and Linda Anderson. Mom started reading it last night and really liked it. Now, I'm not the kind of dog who likes mushy love stuff, but anything my mom likes I need to know more about. So I thought I would give it a perusal:
Hmmm..so far not too bad, it's got some really good stories about us dogs and the women who love us. Some are about rescued dogs, some are about guide dogs, some are about working dogs, but really its about the relationship we form with these unique humans. It states that women can form a bond with us because of their nuturing instincts and we respond to that (boy do I ever!).
Wow, listen to this excerpt from the book: "The stories reveal the subtle beauty and effectiveness of silent inner channels of communication between species. As dogs listen-by paying attention-to women, and as women listen to dogs, they acquire wisdom that is too sweet for words, to exquisite for explanation. Dogs and the women who love them exchange glances and understand each other without speaking. They curl up together and luxuriate in the warm touch of skin against fur. Unlike most human pairs, who require ongoing conversations for interaction, a woman and a dog become soul mates without the dog ever saying a word." Pretty cool, huh, no wonder mom likes this book!

Woof!

In the picture above is Nutro Max Mini Bones, Nutro Max Pork Chops, Milk Bones, two kinds of jerky treats and Fruitables Pumpkin-Banana Mix. So mom...is this my dinner tonight?!
If you'd like to read the interesting article the link is below. So what is your favorite dog biscuit?
Isn't she beautiful! She's an australian shepherd/collie/ and who knows what mix! Mom and Emily walked Lola around practicing "heel" "wait" and "sit". Lola loved all the attention and did very well. She absolutely loved to be petted and loved all the kids! Mom taught Emily how to get Lola to sit, wait, and heel and Em caught on real quick too! Here is a pic of Emily, her brother and sister and Lola:
Mom and Emily also helped train another dog. Abbie is a lab mix, and this was her first adoption event. Abbie was a tad hyper and very pully on the leash. So mom used a prong collar on Abbie and her and Emily took her around the store and outside for awhile. Abbie responded very well on the collar and was learning how to heel really good! Emily even worked with her and Abbie listened to her too! Here is a picture of Abbie:
They had a some applications filled out while they were there and one was on Lola! So mom and Em are hoping and praying that Lola will be going to her forever home very soon! Mom absolutely loves doing adoption events! She loves to work with the dogs and tell people all about them. Now she discovered she loves sharing these events with Emily and hopes to be able to do more with her. I hope so too! 
Woof!
If you guessed my coat you would be right!!!! It has been so warm here this week that I haven't had to wear my coat. All my snow is pretty much gone...all 20 some inches of it! But because we live in Michigan, it isn't going to last, they are calling for more snow and ice tomorrow! Yeah, mom will be putting my coat on again. So while I am anticipating this torture enjoy these other cool dogger bloggers below:
Yeah, mom and I are cracking up too!!!! Hee heee hee!
So let me know what you think Kirby is mixed up with! Check out the other mutts below too!
I ended up going out through the garage. So want to see my really big snow bank now:
This is right outside my garage. Now, check out the snow right outside my garage door. I hopped over it to go outside and go potty. Good thing I'm an awesome jumper:
Now since the plow came through and plowed the parking lot we can't open the front door at all because of the snow piled in front of it. Here is a pic of it....can you find me in the door:
Well, if it snowed by you, mom and I hope you are all safe and warm inside. If you are one of the fortunate ones who live in nice warm places....send us nice warm thoughts!!!
