Doggie Loving Duck
 This picture comes from Karen who lives in a rural area and has a
funny story tell about her duck named "Buddy". Buddy started as an orphan duck,
raised by chickens and then has left birds altogether by becoming a mother to a dog. She
even cleans his teeth! Here's more about Buddy.
"I'm keeping my eye on you!"
  Janie Bowman is an author, online ADD support group
moderator and a pet lover too!! She says, "This is Tristan (age 5), our border collie
(probably 90% Border Collie and 10% genius.
LOL). Also, here is my favorite of Pumpkin, our calico (age 1 1/2). She's a riot!"
Here Pumpkin is keeping a watchful eye on the mischievous and energetic Tristan.
Ice Cream for Dessert
 This latest edition of "Dogs who love to eat" series,
comes from Don & PJ of Rapid City South Dakota who sent in this picture of Buster.
They say, "He is our 2 yr. old Bernese Mountain Dog. His favorite flavor? Ice cream.
haha. ANY flavor!!! He knows, if we go through the drive thru at McDonald's for
coffee........ ice cream comes out of that window at the end. We are empty nesters, so
Buster is definitely our new "addiction"......"
The Rulers of the House
  Sharon from Ohio says, "Here are the babies and the rulers of
our house. Desi is a chocolate Lab who is 4
years old.Woody is a 6 month old Basset and
learning quite a few tricks from his brother. They are joys to have around and give us
lots of love..I couldn't live without them." See our other pictures of Labs and
Bassets and try our coloring sheet too!!
Now - how to I assemble those toys?
  Lorrie sent in this
picture of Cagney. Cagney is very busy on Christmas Eve wearing his glasses to read that
small print on the instructions trying to put that bicycle together. Lorrie says, "He
is a Brittany-Beagle mix, but of course a pure breed to us. He is 16 years old and has put
up with this since he was a puppy."

pics from Sue showing off Bashy who is dressed in costumes that she makes herself.

Paper Mache Basset
& the History of
Papier Mache
by Jackie Hall
 Jackie Hall loves Papier Mache
and she caught our eye with her life sized papier mache Basset hound modeled after her
Basset named Bunty. So we loved the papier mache version of her Basset so much that she
mailed us a picture of the "original" Bunty, the inspiration for her artwork.
She says, "I have loads of toy Bassets plus ornaments as I get given them for
presents, along with Basset cards! My papier mache Basset has been to quite a few
exhibitions and I often get teased when I am out walking the "real" one as to
which one I am with!" Come see if you can tell the difference and learn more about
the history of Papier Mache!!

Unique
Alternatives to Playing Fetch on Those Dog Day Afternoons . . .
by Cynthia Gallagher
 Anyone who thinks dog ownership is easier than child rearing
obviously never had to entertain two energetic boxers cooped up inside on a rainy day. For
a breed that loves to run and frolic, high-speed chases around the sectional sofa hold
their interest only so long. Made a desperate woman by two pairs of plaintive brown eyes,
I thought back to the favorite games of my own childhood. The surprising results are
guaranteed to wear out even the most active dogs, rain and/or shine.
