My friend Jill has asked me to post this (she doesn't have an LJ):

I was extremely sickened by what I saw when I walked into my local PetSmart in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I saw a HUGE display for Philadelphia Eagle jerseys, jerseys for dogs to wear.

WTF?!?

I cannot not image dogs promoting a team like the Philadelphia Eagles who just signed such a sick bastard felon (there's worse words, but I'm a lady) to play for their team for millions of dollars. I cannot sit back and do nothing and I hope you can't sick back and do nothing either.

So, we should write letters/call to Pet Stores like PetSmart that sell Eagle Jerseys for dogs. How absurd, dogs promoting/wearing Vikes team.

PLEASE REPOST AND PASS IT AROUND!

I've been a member of this community but haven't been able to fully participate as the dog I applied with lives with my parents (she's the family dog). Since I no longer live with them, I didn't see her day in and day out. So now my partner and I have moved into a new place where we can have our own dog and I'm applying with her.

Wrigley and Piper...

I just wanted to let everyone know...

it's Bruno's birthday today! he's a whole 1 year old. [& I'm sure everyone cares as much as I do. hehe] he's about 75 pounds, as of a month ago when we took him to get neutered.

so of course, for his birthday, I have to post a few pictures that I took today. & then a few puppy pictures, just for comparison. :)



( & onto more pictures of the birthday boy! )

[cross-posted]

Since I think the voting is usually open for 2 days, I will post the winner tomorrow, then they can have the weekend to think about a new theme... unless of course they have on picked out. 

Oh, and if anyone is curious, uniquieheart's baby is doing pretty well. :)


Be back tomorrow 

Just a quick reminder, PLEASE PLEASE remember to post your dog's name when you enter a photo. I had to go surfing through old posts to find a couple of the names...
If I didn't get yours right I apologize.
