Salty Dogs by Jean M. Fogle ...

Yesterday I came home from walking Charlotte and Precious and Lil Buddy and Maggie and Mystic and ... all SPCA pups in need of a loving home for the holidays and beyond ...

Time with these dogs never fails to re-energize me but I have to tell you it was a little bittersweet to be in a shelter filled to brim with dogs and cats and not enough hands and hearts.

There wasn't more to be done in that moment except give my heart a hug. I did that with a delightful photo and inspirational quote book called Salty Dogs! It is full of dogs being dogs at one of my favorite places on earth - the beach. It is full of dogs playing with each other and with people who love them. Just looking at the sun filled, joy filled pages warmed up my cold winter evening.

Can't share the photos here - sorry. But I can share a couple of my favorite quotes:

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.
-George Bird Evans

In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

All animals except man know that the ultimate in life is to enjoy it.

-Samuel Butler

Sanctuary saves its 1,000th dog

A Northern Ireland animal sanctuary has saved its 1,000th dog from being destroyed.

It is estimated 6,500 dogs are put down in Northern Ireland every year - but the County Down sanctuary rescues some of them by shipping them to England.

The Assisi Sanctuary in Conlig have now sent their 1,000th dog across the Irish Sea.

Just found this awesome group called Ring Dog Rescue. They protect the "bully" breeds a.k.a. "underdogs" including pit bulls, mastiffs, bulldogs, boxers and Rottweilers.

PLEASE visit their site AND start running your Internet searches through them. You can click here to go directly to their "GoodSearch.com" connection. It all adds up. From now on I'll be going through their portal.

Note: Goodsearch is a new search engine that donates about a penny a search to its designated charity, in this case, Ring Dog Rescue.
