Dog Days

Back to school this week, thus the fewer blog posts. Christmas tree is still up - trying to convince friends and family that I am Russian Orthodox (Orthodox celebrate Christmas on Jan 7th :)

Tonight, after a Red Lobster dinner with mom, I'm watching a new show on National Geographic called "Dog Town" - informative but disturbing. The kind of show where you have to concentrate on the good outcomes. Ironically, I was doing my volunteer job for Ratbone Rescues (http://www.ratbonerescues.com/) while watching.

Ratbone is a non-profit rescue group that rescues and rehomes abandoned Rat Terriers. Many rescue groups work locally but Ratbone is a network of rescuers, foster homes, drivers, and other volunteers all over the country (ok, not in AK or HI). While it is more economical to adopt out dogs in their foster area, Ratbone will do transports to ensure that the right dog gets to the right home.

One of my volunteer jobs with Ratbone is as a pet publicist. I update our pet information with Petfinder, an all-breed, national, internet-based pet rescue venue where different groups can advertise dogs needing homes. If you or someone you know are looking for a best friend, please check out http://www.petfinder.com/

Remember to spay & neuter and put us out of business!
