My friend, Copper, has a new picture sent to me by his owner, Betty Lynch. Copper is a rescue dog, and is settling in to his new home nicely, according to Betty…who may be sitting next to him at her laptop?

You met Copper before, but this is a new picture, and a new reminder to us how important it is to consider adopting a pet. There are many sites to help you with this, start local, though, almost every town has an animal shelter, I know ours does. If your town doesn’t, check nearby towns. There are SOOO many pets that need homes, or just someone to visit them at the shelter and take them for a walk, maybe your shelter needs volunteers.

We have been updating Squidoo lenses over the past few days, including mine, and would really like you to visit!

Please visit Yorkshire Terrier and Aspen, the Best Yorkie Ever Squidoos, they aren’t long, and easy to visit.

Then you might want to visit my owner’s main “Lensmaster page” to see ALL the Squidoos she does, her most popular is “Is New Jersey Weird”, the Yorkshire Terrier one is 2nd in line, but you might want to visit some others too…like “Strumming the Autoharp”, and her blogs about Bird Feeding, Box Turtles, and even Gravestones. Have fun!

Every night I like to sleep in the bed with my owners. First I spend some time looking out the window for raccoons that like to come up on the deck, and if they do, I bark. That sometimes means I have to leave the bed, so I think it would be pretty neat if there could be a picture of me on the pillow or blanket they have in the bed, so they won’t forget me.

I think the best way to get this done is to have a Photo Blanket made. It’s really not hard to do. You can order your bedding and upload the picture you want on it to a place on the web called Vision Bedding, and they will do all the work for you! I think that sounds like a lot of fun, it can even be a Personalized Photo Blanket…the pictures are very clear, you’ll have to visit the site to see how they do that. And that isn’t all we saw at the website, they even make dog beds with pictures of dogs on it. I could have a bed made with my dog friends pictured in some of the posts on this blog all over it. Then when I get kicked out of bed for barking, my owners will still have something to remind them of me on their bed, and I can go snuggle in to my Vision Bedding dog bed.  Oh, by the way, you can use any picture, it doesn’t have to be a dog.  What a fun gift idea.

You have heard of YouTube, but did you know that there is a GodTube? This is a place where people who love God like to put there videos. I’m sure they use YouTube, too, but anyway, my owner found this video of a dog skateboarding, and boy am I glad we don’t have a skateboard around here, or I’m sure she’d be dragging me outside to see if I could do this. Have fun watching.

I hope all my animal and people friends are doing well today!

My owner received an important email from a friend, and her friend checked it out, all appears to be legit, so read on, and see how simple it is to help our animal friends:

“Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple… Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here’s the web site! Pass this info along to people you know.

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS !!!
