5 Ways Your Puppy Can Enrich the Life of Another
For Christmas, Starlet volunteered her time, walking and playing with 2 other puppies so they wouldn’t be alone!
Here she is making sure the street is clear before they cross.
I am very lucky to have a helpful, gracious pup!
5 ways your puppy can enrich the life of another:
1) Donate some of their new (or gently used) toys or outgrown coats to a less fortunate pup or shelter.
2) Be gracious with their person’s time, so you can volunteer a few hours at the local shelter (walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, playing with pet hoping for adoption).
3) Invite another pet into their home for foster (and share their toys, bed, cuddle time — your puppy was raised to share nicely, right). Know someone with a dog who may have trouble walking or exercising them? An elderly neighbor perhaps? Offer to bring them along on your walk.
4) Treat pups at your local shelter with fresh, delicious homemade or gourmet biscuits. Imagine the dogs licking their chops getting something extra special!
5) Good energy and manners helps set the stage for a positive experience whenever meeting, playing or walking with another. Positive training with your pup can teach good social skills with fellow dogsters.

Well Luanne, since it’s a holiday week and no one else answered, you win! I’ll ship to Canada. Guess we’ll see how that goes. : )

LOL 20 blocks! That is a walk. That was my first thought… why is she not wearing a boot on her back leg? hehe

Oh well we walked several miles that day, the 20 blocks was just to find the boot, so it was “extra”. : )
We’re big walkers.
BTW, since no one really answered during the holiday — and yes I know I am remiss blogging this year but next week, promise — I sent to Canada. I know I said I wouldn’t but, she was the only winner at the time. Contest @ holiday: Note to self: wait.
