  • Strut Your Mutt

    SYM2006

    We recently went on a charity walk called "Strut your Mutt" with Bella to raise money for homeless dogs.

    I walked for 2 miles in flip flops!

    After the walk there were tons of homeless dogs up for adoption.  There...we found a little homeless dog who captured our hearts.

    Introducing.................Gracie!

    This poor girl lived in a cage most of her life...had been abused, had an eye infection, kennel cough, fur so matted it was ripping up her skin, and had just been crapped on by her cellmate....yet she had such a sweet and gentle spirit.  We fell in love.

    Bella:  "Don't worry Gracie...I'll always protect you."

    It looks like they're friends, huh?  They've been fighting like crazy though.  I have hope that it'll pass and they'll really love each other one day.

  • o my god. u so lucky
  • oh my goodness! you have another little one! the family just gets bigger and bigger. :) we should have a play date sometime! i take yuki to a local dog park, but she doesn't seem to like it very much. i think there are too many dogs. :( but she is much much smaller than bella... only 9 lbs. is bella a full maltese? if so, she is pretty big for one! but of course still as cute as ever. :)

    it was such a great idea for you to walk for strut your mutt. how did you find out about it? i'd like to do more of that in the future. :) and thanks for remember yuki, hehe!

  • wow two miles in flip flops? I hope your feet are okay! ...congrats on the addition to your family.
  • Very cute!!! FI wants to get a puppy from the pound too.  He thinks it's better that way.

  • blessed gracie's found a good home =)

  • awww... i love the pic where bella has her protective paw around gracie!!! so cute!!! =) we'd like to get a dog, too. but we're afraid we wouldn't have the time to take care of one...

  • omg you adopted a mini schnauzer!!!! i have 2 mini schnauzers! they are my favorite breed. my mimi is the same salt & pepper color as gracie & my other one is a white one!
  • lucky dog =)

    and wow! what a little haircut can do! she's adorable!
  • When I first introduced Monique (my first) to our new puppy Sachi, I didn't think they would ever take to each other.  Eventually, I think they got used to being with each other.  Even though they weren't ever the dogs that would like each other, they would lay down next to each other and when we would go on walks they would make sure the other one was around.  Since Monique passed away, I think Sachi has been lonely.  She's only known life with another dog in the house.
  • oh wow!!
    your two dogs are soooo adorable!
    I can't wait for me to get a dog, when I move to either a bigger apartment, or to a house.
    =)
    How do you hear of these things, like charity walks?
  • Awww, looks like they're fast friends!  Was Bella jealous you guys brought Gracie home?  The husband is trying to talk me into getting a dog.  I'm not so sure yet.  I'm really particular with the way things need to be in the house and I just think it would be cruel since we both work pretty long hours.  Still, how can you resist those cute faces?!
  • so cute!
  • that's so sweet!! congrats on the new addition to your family =) it takes really special people to adopt homeless doggies..

  • cute!!! i really want a dog someday!!!!!! we'll see. maybe when i get married.

    anyways, my camera is... the canon sd 800i?~~
  • bless your heart.. you guys adopted Gracie.. what a wonderful thing to do... I love the protective Bella pic.. hope they become great friends soon...
  • omg jenny..i didn't know that you got another doggie!!!! she's sooooooooo cute!!!!  she must LOVE her new home with you, andy, and bella =)  i love her new haircut, and i love that pic of bella protecting gracie.  i'm sooo glad that you saved gracie and that she is finally going to a good, and loving family =)  sometimes when i go to petco they have the pet adoptions and i just want to take them ALL home with me!!!!  btw...belle's my first dog and zoe came a year or so later.  at first they didn't get along at all!!!!  but after awhile, they got used to each other...it'll take some time for them to be friends =)
