Dogs News and Curiosities

Even though I have not been at their facilities and having learned from them online I decided to blog about them and their work because it just is amazing. A group of great people working unconditionally to try and make Chihuahuas happy, that says a lot about them. To me they deserve the recognition, help and support that anyone can give them. I mean they are dedicating time and effort to rescue Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes, caring for their wellness, searching for qualified loving homes to adopt them and taking them out of the misery some heartless humans can put them through… Bravo for them and all of those who work hard every day to make a dog happier, healthier and loved…

Check out this great Chihuahua Rescue and Transport Association, you might feel prompted to make a much needed donation…

What can we say, we’ve had the stuffed Kermit for the longest time until it reached Dali’s playfull mood… there you have the results…

I have decided to get back to our blog and start posting in a regular basis. In order to post interesting articles and comments some research had to take place… and it did and I have to say that it paid off big time. I have come accross the LifeLine Animal Project of Atlanta and can’t even begin to describe the marvelous job they are doing for rescue pets by promoting homeless pets adoption, providing low cost spay and neuter services and working with local shelters so every dog and cat can be guaranteed a good life in a caring environment. There are some remarkable human biengs involved in this project and we from our tiny little places in the cyber space (this blog and our beloved www.becauseofdali.com) want to honor them, praise the work they do every day and let as many people as possible know about them. There are events coming up to benefit the Project (find them HERE), there is also the LINT ROLLER PARTY coming back for the 4th consecutive year to benefit LifeLine Animal Project, volunteers and donations are needed to help our most loyal of friends have the quality of life they deserve and we all must be willing to help any way we can, so; there, this is our little homage to the Project and everyone involved in it. Thank you for all your hard work. We are going to keep spreading the word about you; the world needs tons of more places like you. And that is what I consider a great come back posting for our blog, don’t you?

Having a dog in your family can be really rewarding, fun and exciting but only if you have come to a serious decision and you know for a fact that everyone in the house is ready for one. Any pet requires attention, time and financial support in order to keep them healthy and living a great life. No one wants to make a dog miserable (or any other animal for that matter) so you should consider all the pros and con of adding a pet to the family and once you have decided that you, the house and everyone in it are ready to bring a four legged new BFF in your life then is time to consider what king of dog best suits your lifestyle. The needs of every breed should be the first priority to consider. Consult with a vet the characteristics of the breed and compare them to your everyday life will make a dog-master perfect match.  In this really nice article I found great inspiration and advice about the facts that have to be considered when getting a dog, read it here for more info…

I have received the following message and I thought that it would be great if everybody out there knew about these friends in need.

I was just contacted by the Chihuahua Rescue Group of Georgia and they are begging for foster homes for rescued chihuahuas (they only have 4) and people to volunteer to transport chihuahuas.

I just want to share pictures of our beloved Dali that were taken when he visited me at work and played with his girlfriend Bella… just a cute note to share with everyone

I stumbled upon this amazing story and I couldn’t help but go right into my blog and share with everyone who reads it. I’m still amazed by the stories I find on the internet and there are some that need to be spread and known so we as humans can keep discovering that from our best friends we can learn how to become better humans. Ironic, isn’t it? Well here you go; see how a dog can help us keep our spirits up even in times of adversity.

Here is something I found that I think is very funny and is even funnier because it is true… All dogs owners will agree with me, watch…

We have been having a really hard time trying to walk Dali around the apartments complex we live at.  Sometimes I think that is because of the cars parked in the parking lot right outside our apartment that scare him ’cause of the many times we have been out in the park he has behaved like a gentleman or a gentledog I should say… Anyways, I found some very useful tips on this article that I’m going to put in practice with our beloved Chihuahua who is turning one year old this coming Monday, April 14th. and see if we get more successful. Meanwhile, anybody can benefit with the advice of Mr. Cesar Millan who I consider an expert on dealing with dogs.

During this past weekend we have been contacted by the Rescue Coordinator for Ratbone Rescues in GA letting us know of the next Petapalooza that will be held in Suwanee, GA on May 17th. We are thrilled to be able to help these amazing people who care about dogs and believe that part of our help consist in making this event and this rescue group known. Ratbone Rescue is dedicated to help Rat Terriers in need and more about them can be read HERE.
