Bailey and Moe – Brittany Spaniels

bailey_moe

As told by their owner . . .

“Moe and Bailey (aka, “the boys”) came to their “forever home” via the American Brittany Rescue, whose outstanding and committed volunteers saved them from an uncertain future. Moe, who was given to a shelter by his original family for unknown reasons, is strong, confident and full of life—chasing birds, squirrels and most of all, his brother Bailey. Moe bonded with his new parents immediately. He especially loves his Dad and thinks he deserves dad’s undivided attention. Bailey was “on the streets” as a stray and eventually landed in a shelter where he was rescued in the nick of time (gulp!) by an American Brittany Rescue volunteer. He came to his new family a bit underweight, and a little scared, but his transformation has been amazing – he is now trusting and full of love. He is a gentle pup who tirelessly runs laps around his large backyard, will play fetch at any opportunity, and most of all, loves to cuddle. The boys are now inseparable! They recently welcomed a new human baby sister to the pack. They’re great brothers, always quick to greet her with a kiss or to share their toys (and bones) with her. American Brittany Rescue gave the boys a new lease on life—and our whole family couldn’t be more grateful.”

Make Mine Chocolate – or Adopt a Bunny – or Both

I received an email from the Historical Chocolate Company asking for help with about a promotion they were going to do for the House Rabbit Society in conjunction with an organization called Make Mine Chocolate.  All I can say is, they had me at chocolate.  I was also excited to help call attention to the many homeless rabbits waiting to be adopted.  So, we worked together to create this image for the promotion.

This is Bella, who was lucky enough to be adopted by the owners of the Historical Chocolate Company.

Just like dogs and cats, rabbits are given up to shelters, but unlike dogs and cats, the number of people adopting them is much smaller.  If there is any question about being able to commit to a rabbit for their lifetime, please buy a chocolate bunny instead.  Rabbits do make great pets and if you’ve done the research and are ready to commit, February is Adopt-A-Rabbit month.

Either way, ordering a vintage chocolate bunny from the Historical Chocolate Company is win-win;  you get delicious chocolate and support a great cause.

. . . and a cat named Ed

Ed is Tug’s older brother.  Here is Ed’s story as told by his human:

Ed was born in Occoquan, Virginia.  My friend “Ed” lives right on the river and in 1993 a feral pregnant cat appeared at his back door and gave birth to 5 kittens.  We went down and picked out our Ed and also found homes for the other 4 kittens.  They were all indoor/outdoor cats while living there.  After they got a little older the human Ed would catch a fish every now and then and present it to the mother cat and her kittens.  What a delicacy.  Ed has been in our home since June of 1993 and he has absolutely no desire to ever leave his house for the outdoors.
