The following causes are very important to me so we have set up these fundraisers to help out my fellow doggies. These designs are available on shirts and other gift items and all commissions earned go to each cause.

Find A Cure For IMHAI was diagnosed with Evans Syndrome in 2006. It is a combination of IMHA/AIHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia/Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia) and IMT/ITP (Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia/Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura). I was hospitalized for over a week and received numerous blood transfusions and a cocktail of immunosuppressants to save my life. I was weaned off the medications due to complications such as Cushings Disease but after a few months off the drugs, I relapsed again so I am currently back on medication. I continue to fight this disease everyday. There is no cure for this disease so please help support the fight for a cure. Meisha's Hope Fund and Morris Animal Foundation has teamed up to find a cure for IMHA with Autoimmune/Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia Fund #338. Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia is a serious blood disorder and scientists estimate over 50% of dogs diagnosed with it will die from the condition. Affected dogs show signs of weakness, lethargy, exercise intolerance and anorexia. This deadly blood disorder occurs when something triggers the dog's body to attack its own red blood cells. Despite aggressive immunosuppressive therapy, this disease has a very high mortality rate. Many dogs die shortly after diagnosis, so an effective early treatment is critical. All commissions earned from this design will go to the Meisha's Hope AIHA/IMHA Fund #338 at Morris Animal Foundation.

American Eskimo Dog RescueEveryday, people are working together to rescue Eskies and to help them find their forever homes. Show your support for these wonderful people and organizations. All commissions earned from this cartoon American Eskimo dog design will go to Eskie Rescue.

Opt To AdoptMommie adopted me in 2005 and she always says it is the best thing ever. Loving dogs are waiting in shelters around the country to be adopted. Opt to adopt and make a loving forever home for these poor dogs. All commissions earned from this design will go to local animal shelters.

Thinking Of Getting A Dog

Taking care of a dog is a BIG responsibility. Dogs are totally dependent on their masters their entire lives so there are a lot of things to consider. Here are some things to think about before getting a dog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was busy all day on Thursday sniffing the air and patrolling the kitchen for food. Everything smelled delicious coz they were cooking the turkey and sides. I got some carrots and a green bean while they were cooking. Mommie gave them to me while they had no seasoning on them yet. Here is the turkey resting after it got out of the oven.

And here is the spread. So yummy but alas I could not eat any of it.

But Mommie had something special planned for me. Usually she fixes me a lamb dinner from Trader Joe's. This year she got me Beef Stew from Beneful Prepared Meals. It was so delicious!

All Paws Up For DOGTOWN!


We just finished reading this awesome new book, DOGTOWN: Tales of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Redemption. It is the companion book to the National Geographic Channel show Dogtown. Miss Anna from National Geographic Society was kind enough to send us a copy so we could review it.

It is about the largest no-kill animal shelter called Best Friends Animal Society located in Utah. The book follows the stories of some of the canine residents at Dogtown taking you through their experiences and the experiences of the wonderful people who care for them. At Dogtown, they take the time and effort to treat not just medical problems but behavioral problems and even trauma, giving every animal, not just dogs, a second chance at life.

We do not have National Geographic Channel so this was the first time we had heard of this program. Boy! Now we wish we had that channel. The stories go from heartbreaking to heartwarming. They are interesting, educational and just plain inspirational.

Usually people say that the love dogs give their humans is unconditional. In Dogtown, that same unconditional love is given to each dog; whatever their history or medical situation or any mistakes they may have made in the past. They are loved regardless of their attitude, illness, age, looks or past and each story shows there is hope for even the hardest cases. Even in the most extreme cases, where they are unable to rehome a dog, that dog can live out the rest of its life at the shelter without fear of being put to sleep just because no one else will take him or her.

The people who work there and the volunteers will restore your faith in the human soul. They selflessly devote their time and effort to these poor animals. The different stories show how dealing with animals can be hard but rewarding and fulfilling all at the same time. The different personalities of the dogs shine given the proper time, love, attention and training. The book shows how dogs are individuals and cannot be completely generalized by breed traits alone. It allows the reader to see situations through the eyes of the trainer as well as the dogs. Dogs can think and feel. Pets are not just property that can be disposed of when it is no longer convenient to own us.

The book shows how the right person with the right attitude can make a difference and discover the loving personality in each dog.The stories will make you laugh and cry. Pets who are abandoned, elderly, sick, rescued from puppymills or dog fighting operations or hoarders, even those traumatized by war or natural disasters, all have a place in Dogtown. No life is wasted here. Everyone gets to be loved.

There is a saying: Saving one animal will not change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal. This rings truer than ever at Dogtown. And the fact that the program makes it possible for these unwanted pets to find a furever home is just the happiest ending of all.

We tip our hats to the people who work there, the volunteers and the people who come to adopt and give furever homes to my fellow animals. We are so happy there are people like them in the world. We recommend not just this book but the tv show itself.

The book is available anywhere books are sold and will make a great Christmas gift. Dog lovers are sure to love it. And perhaps even non-dog lovers will be converted. Hehe!

Couch Potato

I love watching TV. This weekend we are going to Auntie Karen's to watch the Boxing Match. There is gonna be a lot of screaming for sure. I am not looking forward to that part. They all get super excited about Pacquiao winning. I prefer Animal Planet and less violent shows. I love seeing shows with doggies and horses. I like to run with them sometimes. I especially like the show Super Fetch. But Mommie says I keep watching but I do not learn the tricks they are showing. Well, I watch for the entertainment value not for the educational value. Hahaha! After that we are going to the city to meetup with Mommie's cousins. I hope I will have energy otherwise she will have to bring me home first.

Hana At The Bridge

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to my Eskie girlfriend Hana. Hana passed on to the rainbow bridge early Friday morning. It happened so suddenly. She was healthy and all of a sudden she was gone. We are heartbroken and deeply sad for her Mommie and Daddy. Please visit them on Hana's blog. It would be nice if you could leave a note for them. We had such great adventures and memories with her. It is hard to think we will not be able to see her again. This is one of the last pictures her Mommie took of her.


We went to visit them the other day and it was so sad not to see Hana at her window and hear her greet us as we drove up. I sniffed around the house and visited her perch upstairs.

Goodbye Hana. We miss you!

Casper Casper Pumpkin Eater

We had a few guests over for Halloween. Everyone came in costume so it was lots of fun. There was Mr. Frederickson from Up, a Fruit of the Loom Grape, a cute Bumble Bee, a funny Cow, a Star Trek person, a sports Referee, a couple of masked bandits, a Goth girl and a Spider lady. Mommie did not get to find a new costume for me so I reused my Moose costume. Auntie Bee was so funny. She liked my bed so much she lay down on it and curled up. She said it was so soft and comfy. Auntie Grapes gave me a couple of her grapes (made of balloons) but I was too tired to play with them that night but I popped them the next day. Uncle Trekkie brought a pumpkin. I was very curious and watched him carve it. It smelled so yummy. Once it was carved, everyone was excited about putting a candle inside and they all went to the front door to display it and take pictures. So I had my chance. I was unsupervised and so I proceeded to partake of the pumpkin innards that were left on the floor. Yummmy!!! Eventually they noticed I was nowhere in sight and started looking for me. I was busily enjoying my pumpkin behind a chair in the back. Mommie caught me and said I was a naughty boy for eating it. Sniff! But it was so delicious. Luckily she said pumpkin is not bad for me and I did not get to eat enough of it to cause the runs. But I did poop a bunch of pumpkin seeds the next day. Ouch!
Here I am with Mr. Pumpkin. I greet him everyday before I go to pee and once more before going back inside.

Mr Pumpkin has glowing eyes.

I'm a Mooskie!
