beautibull bestest. After several rounds of deliberation by the jury, the winners have been chosen and are spotlighted on each month, with ALL of the pawticipants sprinkled throughout the monthly dates! Of course, yours truly is on the cover, but this is pawsitively a PupsterPosse collaboration to help #SaveThePuppies.
Mommers went into the bathroom, and this lady bird with a mohawk was just hiding behind the toilet and making a bunch of noise. Well, of course she couldn’t stay there, so with just a bit of encouragement, she flew out! But RUH ROH!!!! I sees a bird flying up high in the living room ceiling. It’s flapping weird and so scared. Now it’s in the kitchen, and oops – back to the living room wall. Ker plunk! Nose dive into the wall. Something is just not right with this birdie! Mommers is trying to find a box at this point cause we are worried about Ms Azul. Finally it lands awkwardly on the table, but it’s flying was so wobbly that it got it’s wing stuck in the grove between poles.
ng to save a birdie while in a wheelchair and moving slow, so this was not easy. But since the lady songbird was stuck, Mommers was able to carefully take the towels and wrap around this mowhawked beauty. The scared kingfisher bird instantly relaxed! She knew that we were just trying to help her! She quit snapping her long scary beak and just let the Mommers hold her and wipe her down along her beak and mohawk. You see, she had become covered in spider webs and cat fur, and other mess while flying around in our house.
Ms Azul is now safely in a large cardboard box. But we just can’ts keep her there. What are we gonna do?! It’s late now on Friday so we can’t get a ride to the emergency vet and of course the phone broke this week…Thank doggie fur the online animal groups for Mommers to pawticipate. There’s just gotta be somepawdy there that can help!
there first thing in the mawnin. Thanksaroo to these two ladies, we knew how to keep Ms Azul safe fur the nite, sleeping in her cardboard box safe away from any lurking predator kitties (uuhh, uuumm, Zaida…I’m looking at you!) We were a bit worried, but Saturday am we looked in the box, and there was the sleeping songbird beauty, still safe and sound! Wooferoo!
thought,but she was going to take her to the center to be assessed and she would pawbably get some medicines. After they assessed Ms, Azul, the center said it was just really bad bruising and no broken wings. Thank Dog! But here’s the best part!! They were having a special group presentation at Birds of Prey that day, so they decided to release Ms Azul in front of a large crowd. How pawmazing is that! Her songbird debut release was a display of magnificence for lots of hoomans to see. Of course Ms Azul had to show off, flying around and then ultimately diving straight fur the water like a true kingfisher – lunch time!!!
You knows what I like best about National Dog Day, Pupsters? Is that it celebrates ALL dogs, AND it even has a focus on working dogs and service dogs like me! It’s gots service dogs in their statement above a few times! And, I gots to be honest, when I was sniffing around to paw my post fur this pawtastic day, I knew there was a NDD website, but I had no idea of the many resources it has. They even have a 
Now that you know you already want to bring Pierre the Pibble Tripawd into your home, lets me tell you a little bit more! In a home setting, Pierre is the MOST lovabull pup in the world! He wants to cuddle and lay beside you and he evens knows if you are happy or sad and need some extra pittie wuvin’! And guess what?? He likes ice cubes just like me – I mean, he wouldn’t really even be a dog if he didn’t would he? bol! And look at his face! He seems like he can be a bit goofy like me too! Did I mention he wuvs to lay in the sun?!?
he just needs a best furiend. He needs a hooman that will give him guidance and unconditional wuv and continue his training. He’s not a dog that you’ll be able to take to the dog park or puppy parties, but that doesn’t mean the two of you can’t go on lots of adventures – it just means he likes hoomans more and will be your loyal companion! Because he’s such a people pleaser, Pierre does need to be in a home with no other pets, and would do best with older kiddos (13+). He’s even getting weekly dog training with K9 Good Manners and is excelling with progress!
Pierre desperately needs to get out of boarding. It’s just no life fur a dog. Although he would prefer a furever home, a long-term foster home would be a pawmazing place fur him to continue to thrive and progress with his training. Pierre needs to be able to depend on you and for you to give him a chance to show you he’s the best pup in the world!
EVER gonna learn that pit bulls are the MOST wuvable breed ever?!?) Luckily fur Pee Wee, the monks contacted the Soi Dog Foundation so she would have a chance at life and not be sold to the meat trade. She wuves people and is very energetic, but she’s been at Soi Dogs for nine months and needs a furever home where she can run and play! She would thrive the best with a structured environment and an active family with confidence and lots of wuv to give her. I bet she would just wuv some belly rubs and a warm cozy bed, and would give you slobbery kisses in return. I’m an energetic pup, so like me and other pit bulls, Pee Wee would need to have lots of time to run, play fetch, and some brain games and chew toys to keep her from getting bored!
ause Pee Wee is a pit bull, she can only live in certain countries and Hazel can’t find her a home in the UK or NZ due to restrictions (yes! we need legislation changed worldwide!). That’s why she asked me to share the story of this beautibull girl! So Pupsters! Here’s your newest calling – SHARE Pee Wee’s story so she can get that new furever home quickly and gets out of Thailand. She’s being cared fur, but we all know rescue shelter life is no life fur a dog.
S or Canada and are interested in adopting Pee Wee and finding out more information about her, pawlease paw an email to the Adoption Manager for Soi Dogs at
