Save Precious – American Staffordshire Terrier
“Source: Lori Perry
Precious is an American Staffordshire Terrier that was rescued from a high-kill shelter. Before that she was severely mistreated by her owner. She has suffered much, most recently bloat, diabetes and a thyroid condition. She was literally starving to death. Thanks to a quick pull by one of our rescuers, the wonderful staff at Johnson Ranch Vet Clinic and Patty, her amazing foster Mom, Precious is on her way back to the healthy life that she deserves.
Precious has special needs. She needs someone who is willing to feed and medicate her properly on a regular basis. She gets along great with other dogs and likes people. She needs space to run and play because she was in a cage for far too long.
Her most important need is to find than one special home that is out there waiting for her. She needs love, affection and understanding. She needs a guiding hand to show her good manners and that there are kind hearted people in the world willing to share their life with her. Call Patty at 916-204-3407 or email SacCaninePlacementASsistance@gmail.com.”
This is very uncanny, Precious looks almost identical to my dog Angel. Please see if you can help Precious, after all she’s been through, she really needs a good home.

The Truth About Cats and Dogs: Helping Kids Cope With a Pet Death
by Lisa J. Lehr
Nevada County is a very pet-friendly place. Most of us here have one or more pets. And pets, over the generations, have enjoyed a status upgrade from outdoor animal to family member, albeit one who lies under the table at mealtime rather than sitting in a chair like the other family members. Many people—including me—believe that a family without pets is incomplete, and a childhood without the experience of raising pets is a disadvantaged childhood.
That experience, though, almost invariably includes the death of a pet. It’s a fact that most people outlive most types of pets; almost all children who have a pet will, at some point, lose one. As difficult as it is for the kids—not to mention for the parents who must explain death—it’s an important life experience.
Sadly, some parents try to spare their kids the pain of losing a pet with some type of coverup—by offering another explanation for the pet’s disappearance, or by concealing the death entirely. The first scenario, mostly used with dogs and cats, usually involves saying it “ran away.” The “ran away” story is offered either when the pet is known to be dead, and the parents have discreetly disposed of the body; or when a pet has disappeared, its fate unknown. Bad things sometimes happen when pets go outdoors, and sometimes old or ill pets will go away to die alone.
The second coverup method is most often used with small pets—fish, turtles, reptiles, perhaps rodents. In these cases, the parent removes the deceased pet while the kids are at school or asleep, replacing it with a similar one and hoping the kids won’t notice.

Brewster World’s Tallest Puppy
I happened to be walking directly across the highway from my office in Cedar Ridge to the dog groomers to see if I could get an appointment to have my dog Angel get her nails trimmed. Sandy Hall, famous for owning the tallest dog in the world happened to be there and I asked her if I could take a picture of her latest dog Brewster.
Sandy owned Gibson, who stood 42.6 inches tall, measured from the ground to the top of his shoulders and measured 7 feet 1 inch all stretched out and standing on his hind legs. He weighed 180 pounds. Gibson passed away on August 7 of this year due to bone cancer.
The dog in the picture is the latest dog that Sandy owns and is only 14 months old. Sandy says the dog will continue to grow until he is three years old. He weighs in at 140 pounds right now and as you can see in the picture, is pretty darn tall already.
Sandy is very determined to raise money to help fight canine bone cancer and is working with an organization called Morris Animal Foundation.

Angel’s Doghouse Listings Zachery a Shetland Sheepdog
My name is Zachery, I’m a Shetland Sheepdog and I’m also known as a Sheltie. I am small because I’m just the right size for my native country the Shetland Islands. I don’t like to brag, but I’m one of the smartest dogs on earth, well, not quite, but I’m sixth from the top of dog breeds when it comes to intelligence.
Some of my best friends, beside my owners Christie and Amanda, are the two cats in my house. My owners play silly games with me, taking a red laser light and shining it all over the place. I chase the laser light just to please them, and also because they don’t own any sheep for me to chase. You know, I just love to chase and herd things, so this is the closest I can come to doing that in the house I live in.
I’m getting up in age now, so I sleep a lot and go for short walks. However, in my retirement, I really would like to have for a ranch style dog house in the country. I also want some acreage with a flock of sheep so I can show my stuff and get some exercise. I’m sure Angel can find something for me.
This is just what I’m looking for!
Written by Christie O’Dell. Christie is my daughter and a school teacher. Amanda is my grand-daughter.

Angels Dog House Listings – The Pug & the Peacock
The pug and the peacock, is this a battle to a draw? You decide. Make a comment and let me know if you like this breed or have one.
Anyhow, Angel has no new dog listing this week. Lots of potential clients saying they’re going to send in pictures of their dogs with a little story, so hopefully they will do that soon.
So to fill in the rest of the week, we found one of her relatives starring in this video of the pug versus the peacock.

According to Pug-Wikipedia
“The expression of the Pug belies its true sense of fun. Pugs are sociable dogs, and usually stubborn about certain things, but they are playful, charming, clever and are known to succeed in dog obedience skills.
Bred to adorn the laps of the Chinese sovereigns during the Shang dynasty (before 400 BC), in East China, they were known as “Lo-Chiang-Sze” or “Foo” (ceramic foos, transmogrified into dragon, with their bulging eyes are very Pug-like). The Pug’s popularity spread to Tibet, where they were mainly kept by monks, and then went onto Japan, and finally Europe.
This breed may also be referred to as a “Lion Dog” or “Foo (or Fu) Dog” due to its resemblance to Chinese guardian lions just like the Pekingese dog breed from China of similar origin and resemblance to Chinese guardian lions which are considered a guardian spirit.”

Angels Dog House Listings Molly-Shih-Tzu
My name is Molly, I’m a shih-poo, a cross between a shih-Tzu and poodle, but I just like to say I’m Tibetan and French it sounds better if you know what I mean. I’m still a pup I guess, because that’s what I hear all the time, “oh, how old is she, she acts just like pup.”
I’m looking for a green environmental dog house preferable with solar roofing and bamboo floors. I would like a deck running along the front of the house because I love l to just sit and watch the birds and listen to the crickets. I’m a good watch dog.
In the meantime, I have a really nice house my mom and I live in and I sleep with her every night since I was born, I like it that way.
My mom is a singing teacher; she loves to sing too, my job is to greet all the students at the door and to make them comfortable before they start their lessons. So I jump in their laps and lick their faces. I’m pretty tried by the end of the day.
Photo courtersy of Doggy Dream Homes
All we need are solar panels on the roof and it’ll be just what Molly wants.
Mom and I are so close that she hardly goes anywhere without me, we have been kicked out of a lot of places.
I love to play tricks on mom and when she is sitting at the computer playing Mafia Wars, on Facebook, I get bored. I start talking to her, I speak englis, she thinks I want to go outside because she isn’t paying attention so she gets up from the computer, but I just want her to chase me around the house and play ball, this always makes her laugh so hard.
My most favorite times ever is when we take our road trips to the town of Sonoma. Boy do I have a ball because dogs are welcome everywhere, I see and do things that I have never seen in my life before. I heard a dog say “being here is just like living in France.” Wow, I was impressed!

Angel’s Dog House Listings
My name is Milo and I am a Chihuahua and Beagle mix. My brother is Charlie and he is a Chihuahua. I am 2 years old and Charlie is 1.
We are brothers by spirit as we don’t share the same Mom or Dad just the same owner!
I was born in a home. My owner came and saw me and took me right away. I was the runt of the litter and my owner swears that runts are the best!! My owner took me to visit my new grandparents and guess what, they fell in love with me too! So much so, I now spend most of my time with my grandparents and my Mom takes me on weekends! She misses me alot but she see’s that it is really good that I stay with the grandparents because I make them really happy!
Charlie was brought home by my human sister. She got him and brought him home and it has been a really good thing for my mom. Charlie is really fun to be around, when we hang on the weekends he and I play fight all the time! Charlie thinks he is bigger than he really is and thinks he can take on anything! I have to give it to him though, he can run, really, really fast.
We know Angel by our Mom’s association with John. We were so excited when we heard that Angel was selling real estate. We have been contemplating selling our doghouse as we don’t use it like we used too. So, we called Angel and see came over, checked it out and we signed the paper and love having our house listed with her.
Our house has running water and separate bedrooms. We love it! There is food there all the time (not sure how that happens, but…). We have the biggest bathroom! Anywhere your heart desires, outside only!
Angel is a great agent, she shouts out a bark to us all the time. She is really on top of it! As everyone knows, it is a dog eat dog world out there and she is tough!!
Milo and Charlie…………

Logan, a Dog Bigger than it’s Owner
I’m excited, this is my first doghouse listing. (This is Angel talking, Angel is my dog)
This is Logan who was born on St. Patrick’s day! 4 years ago. He was a champion show dog, winning every show he entered except one. He retired from the ring and became my hiking buddy last June. He is shy and afraid of small dogs & cats…unless they run. He very rarely barks, even when he meets barking dogs or strange people. He thinks he is a lap dog. He travels back and forth to San Diego, 11 hrs, without so much as a bark, whine or cry…he just wants to go where ever Jeff goes. He doesn’t seem fast loping around until you see him gallop like a horse.
The Irish Wolfhound was originally a war dog, used to drag men out of chariots or off horseback, but was also used as a hunting hound and as a guard. There are numerous references in Irish mythology to its prowess in all these fields. It was used to hunt the Irish elk and the wolf and was used singly or in pairs rather than in a pack, hence the need for great size. When the last of the wolves in Ireland was killed (the elk had become extinct long before), the breed dwindled and almost died out. The process was not helped by the demand for this magnificent hound around the world. It was given as a gift to kings and princes, but this was eventually stopped by Oliver Cromwell who brought out a law banning its export.
This is Angel, my dog, first doghouse listing and she is excited! Have a dog? A dog house (you can make one up)?
