[Artemisia] Woof woof grrr ruff!

What fun!  In Great Falls, I don't think we have an enclosed dog park.  I am happy to hear you are supporting the adoption of pets in the pound/shelters.   As a yorkie breeder.. I have retired.  I still have 13 dogs.. 10 yorkies, non-breeding, one i can't spelt it shitzu that was my moms.  When mom passed away in january i took tina.  we still have wulf's akita/wolf that is 15 (7 years past his life expectancy).  Since I have cattle, I needed a 4 legged helper.  Rather than buying one from a breeder, I adopted one from the Wyoming Herding Group Rescue.  Emily is a blue heeler also called a australian herding dog.  she is death on cattle.  great helper and knows her job.  she's also great at getting my goats out of the barn. emily also know some agility.  loves the dog walk and the a frame. and tunnels.  she thinks the pickup belongs to her and is my constant companion.  her re-call is superb.  mostly she lays down in the stall i am
 cleaning and waits or she lays in a lawn chair in the barn and watches me.  Just need to teach her to stay out of the arena cause the horse(s) i am riding do not need to be herded.
My point is.. Morgan is right.. there are many pets out there in need of a home.  I am thrilled to have found emily.  she was found in a shelter and the herding rescue got her.  then had a home on a ranch.. the woman got cancer and they gave her back.  now i have her.  she is never chained or in the fenced yard.  she is my shadow and has the run of the farm. she is a good over and i repeat over loving dog.  You too can help a pet in need.  why buy from a breeder and god forbid a pet store when there are soooo many great animals that need your love and friendship. emily thinks she's pretty cool riding in the back seat of the pickup looking out the window like she is on a mission or something.  
Take a look at those available pets in need. with the economy as it is.. there are many who need you.  And the adoption agency will be real honest with you and let you know if the pet is good with kids, other dogs, cats, house broke, emotional issues and what ever else.
Redhawk and her buck's worth.

(Translation from Canine)- Greetings Fellow Loch Salann Dog People!

Yesterday Honored Lady Aurora and I took our pug-russell Talisker to the dog 
park that is kitty-corner from Liberty Park (south side of 1300 S, east side of 
700 E, parking lot entrance about 1/2 a block south of 1300 S on the northbound 
lane of 700 E), and if you haven't taken your dog there, it is HUGE, with a 
dog-sized water fountain, a concrete "tunnel", sevearl benches for us humans, 
and of course a fire hydrant!  As we watched Tali run around with a 
dozen brand-new friends, we decided we should invite Lady Luvday and Whisky to 
join us on an upcoming weekend, then it occurred to us that we should invite 
ALL of the Baronial dogs to join us.

So, if you have a dog (that is socialized enough), please join us for the 
first-ever Loch Salann Running Amok of the Hounds, Sunday September 26th (the 
day after Lochtoberfest), at the Dog Park indicated above, from Noon until 
they're tired (dependent on the weather).  This is an un-official, non-garbed, 
"just for the fun of it" function.  If some of you/us would like to bring 
snacks/munchies to share, that would not be a bad thing, and we can maybe 
organize that a bit more over the next two weeks.

On a related note- the Utah Super Adoption Weekend, sponsored by PetSmart and 
hosting roughly a dozen different county, city, and private rescue shelters, has 
over a hundred dogs and at least as many cats needing a new home and family.  
The exact location can be gotten by calling any PetSmart or municipal shelter in 
the greater Salt Lake area, I can tell you it is in front of the PetSmart that 
is about 1700 S and 400 W, the one visible from the 1300 S / 900 S exit on 
northbound I-15, and accessible from the parking lot of the 2100 S / 300 W Home 
Depot.  They have dogs of all kinds of breeds, including Pitbulls (which are 
almost all in separate, individual cages rather than the larger kennels), so if 
you've been thinking about getting a new dog, go rescue a Pitbull (or other 
breed), they need you.
We are proud to say that the Tooele County Shelter will be going home one 
Pitbull/Lab mix lighter, and our new girl Red is settling in nicely.
