Adopt Me! Wednesday

in Adopt / Barks and Blooms / dog / No Kill Harford  by April 3, 2013
 This is Cricket! She is a 15 mo. old “mini pit” in Bel Air, being fostered by the wonderful people at No Kill Harford .   She is an active girl and has some leash aggression but once loose she plays with everyone.  She does fine with the cats in the foster home.  Cricket is almost house trained; she came into rescue with at urinary tract infection so it took a little longer to control her bladder.
She is a love, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, tested negative for heart worm and Lyme disease and is microchipped.
Please contact foster mom Cindy at:  haganscrazyacres@yahoo.com  to set up a meeting with this lovely girl! 
 
Spayed/Neutered • Up-to-date with routine shots • House trained • Primary colors: Black, White or Cream • Coat length: Short

How Many Dogs Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

in Barks and Blooms / dog / how many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb / jokes  by February 5, 2013




Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a light bulb?

Border Collie: Just One. And then I’ll replace ALL the wiring that’s not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that lamp.

Rottweiler: Make me.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Lab:  Oh Me, Me Me!   PLEEEEEEEEZE let me change the light bulb. Can I? Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I, PLEEEEEEEEZE, PLEASE PLEASE?

German Shepard: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led everyone out of the dark, check to make sure I haven’t missed anyone, make one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Jack Russell: I’ll just pop it in while I am bouncing off the walls and chasing my tail.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Chihuahua: Yo Quiero Taco Bulb.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there–RIGHT THERE

Greyhound: It isn’t running, who cares?

Sheltie:  First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle.

Poodle: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear, and he’ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Terrier: Let me bark at it for a while to see if it really needs changing.
