Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love

I first saw the photo of this dog on Pinterest this morning and initially I thought, "Oh what a rip. Someone just Photoshopped this image of this dog as an Internet ploy of some sort," portraying the dog as having been used as dog fight bait and was injured beyond belief. Part of his head literally looked "melted." So I immediately loaded the photo onto Google to search for the image since the Pinterest link didn't work and BAM, there it was on YouTube. Not only is the dog legit, but the owners have written a book and has been a public interest figure. The trauma caused to this poor animal is unbelievable. I salute this family. Anyone who immediately feels compelled to save an animal like this and show him this sort of love and what life should be like, deserves all the happiness in the world.

Halloween 2009

Well, guess Halloween is a good a time as any to begin our blog. This was M's second Halloween but his first trick-or-treating experience. He made an adorable little clown even though he is slightly taller than the costume makers anticipated, which proved to be a continuous struggle throughout the night. His "suspenders" merely attached via velcro soooo... by the time we were walking to the car, he was waddling with his pants down around his ankles bless his heart. And fun was had by all!
