My first blog entry. Ohh! The pressure!

TA DA! A Love-A-Bull bloggedy blog blog blog!
We are diving back into this – with me leading the charge on the blog front. The Bront, if you will. Charge!

Now, um – here I am and here I sit wondering how one starts a blog??? I guess I could start by talking a bit about some stuff that we can all relate to… Hmmmm – like how much middle school sucked? Or, how freakin’ hot it is? Nahhh. What would we all care about…

Ahh! I will tell yall some good news that we got going on up in here (up in here)..

Often times we reach out to the big group (sometimes a bit hysterically, ahem) asking for help with a specific dog. Then, crisis averted – we forget (how dare we) to update you with the good news.

So, here I come in on this Bront (remember – blog/front, from paragraph 1)
to deliver the good news!

Enough of my explaining and blabbing – I am anxious to get started!

Remember Smiley? He is one of the famed Martindale dogs–and he has been adopted!! Yep, he is one of the doggies that spent all six years of his little life on a chain. His family is super cool. They were lured to Mr. Smile Man by a Love-A-Bull member – locked eyes and hearts and now he is col’ kickin’ it on a couch, in a house with central air. No longer stuck at the end of a chain in the rain, heat, cold. I hear from a very reliable source (Leala Ward of Love-A-Bull) that he looks like a completely different dog. And he has a Chihuahua sister. Could it get any better?

Gotta give a shout out to his foster dad, Beau. He really turned this pooch around and truly made it possible to save his life. Thank you.

While I am on the topic of Martindale dogs, I will let you know about Miss Harley. Now named Kiko has found her twin up in Oregon. Not kidding – check this out:

I can’t even tell which is which.

Aaaaaaaaannnnnnyyyyyyyway – they saw her online and fell in love with her. L-A-B leadership member, Jot, just happen to be driving up to Portland, Oregon. So off Harley went – into the great northern Pacific where all the famous vampires live (that’s according to my 12 year old niece). Apparently Kiko and her new twin sister are completely in love.
Yeah, looks like it judging by the picture. Major making out goin’ on up there. Is that weird? J

Did I mention that Harley, oops – Kiko spent her whole life on a chain too? I did? Well, just want to mention it again. Look how far she has come!

What’s In A Name?

Is it Layla? Lady Bug? Tyson or Titan? These two Martindale dogs are now being called Layla and Tyson.

PS there are 5 Martindale dogs in case you are getting confused. Cos’ itssssoeasy to get confused between them.

Layla and Tyson were the two that were talked about in The Statesman (article can be read: here)

Anyway, they are doing really super awesome except for the fact that they don’t have forever homes YET! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? Seriously folks. Luckily, Layla has a great foster. Truthfully I am not sure that I have ever met a more affectionate doggie. She thinks she is a tiny little toot – not the 50 lbs of loveliness that she really is. She prefers laps to walking I think. Snuggly wonderful pup – she will make someone really happy. She loves dogs, cats, kids, everyone. One of the best temperaments EVER!!!! Again, SHOCKED that she spent 3 years on a chain. Her foster mom reports she is starting to hold her head up a bit (it is permanently damaged from that darn heavy chain)! Did I mention she loves convertibles?

Tyson is such a like, DUDE. So cool. Friendly, fun, did great in my car and at the vet. Is learning all kinds of cool stuff at Training By Tara. Here is the deal with him though, his training runs out soon and he doesn’t have any place to go. So we are totally sweatin’ the whole thing. Can anyone foster the coolest chap around? I mean, this dog is soooo chhh chhh chillin’. On a recent walk at the mall, he was trying to get himself a drink of water so he tried to get up on the fountain. KERPLUNK. He fell in. HE LOVES water. Baby pools, fountains, you name it. He is that goofy pittie that always makes you laugh. So far, he has learned a TON at Training By Tara. You would be SO impressed. He walks so well on a loose leash. Everyone stops to stare at the big pittie with the cut ears, walking so nicely. You’d never believe he spent 3 or so years of his life on a chain just a few short weeks ago! Here he is chillin’ on the couch when Tara went on vacation. But seriously, this was the first time he had ever seen a house, don’t you think he deserves a real one?

Then there is Rosie. OHHH Rosie Rosie.

She ain’t dwelling on the past, so I won’t either. Rosie’s life was saved a week ago. Pulled on her euth date at TLAC, she went to her angel foster parent and is doing super awesome. Getting along with her sister Monica -

She is loving life in a major way. Her foster mom Leigh is patient and understanding and is helping work out some of Rosie’s insecurities. According to Leigh Rosie is doing amazing! She is learning tricks and having fun on walks. She is eating fresh chicken and sleeping in bed with her foster brother. BUT – folks, she still needs her home. Keep her in mind, will ya??

Gotta go – my dogs are barkin’ yall.
Stay tuned for more great news.
