Rez Dogs: Laguna & Lucy

On Christmas Eve Day, 2009, two friends found themselves on a trip from Portland, Oregon to Sacramento, California to bring two dogs from the Fredonia Humane Society in Arizona to Portland for adoption. Carrie and Cheryl planned on fostering each dog until homes could be found, but within a few days, each adopted the dog they were fostering. Carrie adopted Laguna (aka Goonie), a mixed breed dog she'd first met as a puppy while volunteering at FHS. Cheryl adopted Gracie, also a mixed breed who strongly resembles a Pit Bull Terrier, who became Gracie-Lu, and is now known as Lucy, Lucy Lu or Lulu. These dogs had come from an area known as The Gap on the Navaho Reservation. Lucy had been picked up wandering near a dump with a litter of pups. Laguna had been picked up as a pup on a separate trip.

Fredonia Humane Society is closing and has 7 dogs left awaiting adoption. You can find the dogs listed on facebook: Fredonia-Humane-Society

The Lion Hunter

Titus

It's usually better to be pissed off than pissed on ...
You go, buddy.

Apollo

Indy!

Four years ago, when Indy was a puppy, no one imagined he would grow to 100 lbs. Although the specifics were unclear, he was described as a "Boxer/Bulldog Mix." This is Indy today... a giant lover-boy, not real coordinated, but a whole lotta fun!

Wiener on the Loose

On the first day of Spring, this little Dachshund, named Copper, stopped by my house for a visit. He didn't seem to be in any hurry to leave and he had a Chihuahua buddy with him, so I wrangled them into my backyard and called his people.

While we waited for them to show up, Copper was kind enough to let me take his picture a few times.

Love Comes in All Shapes & Sizes

A good friend has opened her home to six dogs – dogs with “issues,” senior dogs whose owners dumped them, dogs that were rescued. Visiting with her and her pack, we realized all over again that love comes in all shapes and sizes. This proves that the more love we give, the more love we find that we have to give, with twelve baskets-full left over to share.
