Happy 11th Birthday Cloudy!
Hiya Pupsters!
We’re having a Barkday Bash (aka Birthday Party) online for Cloudy! He’s turning a whopping pawmazing 11 years old! In dog years,that’s purdy old, not to mention for a great dane, so we’re hoping to get him 111 Birthday cards from around the world! Can you help us make it happen fur hims??
We worked with a local great dane rescue to pull him out of a dingy shelter as an underweight malnourished hospice case. He was very underweight and sleeping on a small cold concrete shelter floor. Two years later he’s still with us as a permanent foster, thriving and loving life. He wuvs nylabones, treats, and soft beds and blankies! He’s starting to show signs of aging with some bone deterioration and arthritis, so we needs your help to keep him strong, healthy and pain free!
Let’s celebrate fur a week and show him how much we wuvs him! You can send a barkday card or visit his wish list!

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
