Cock-a-poos and spell checker


I'm writing a little post today for the love of dogs.  Write a post, help a dog!  
Did you know that each year, more than 4 million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations? In response, PEDIGREE® created The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.


This year the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive is raising awareness for homeless dogs by donating a bowl of food to shelter dogs for everyone who becomes a “Fan” or “Likes” The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive onFacebook. So far, more than 1 million bowls have been donated!! The goal is for PEDIGREE® to be able to give a bowl of food to each and every one of the 4 million dogs in shelters and rescues by the end of the year.

The PEDIGREE® BlogPaws bloggers will host a Blog Hop from Thursday, September 16 through Sunday, September 19 to help raise awareness for the “Write a post, help a dog” effort. They will be hosting a blog hop where you can add the url (that's the direct link) to your Write A Post Help a Dog so that they are all in one place and we can see just how big of an impact we all can have in the lives of shelter dogs. 

For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive through September 19th, PEDIGREE® will donate a bag of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. So please set aside a few moments to write a post.  AND, if you know bloggers in other categories that might be interested, please share this post with them and ask them to write a post as well!

Together, we can all make a difference!

Last time I wrote about my pups which happen to be a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, (usually called Cock-A-Poo's),  I spell checked my post, here is what I found:

Cock-A-Poo's
Cock-A-Boo's
Cock-A-Goo's
Cock-A-Moo's
Cock-A-Zoo's
Cock-A-Pro's
Cock-A-Pod's
Cock-A-Poi's
Cock-A-Pop's
Cock-A-Pot's
Cock-A-Polo's
Cock-A-Pool's

And, last but not least (in light of my last post, Poo-Poo Sacks And The Fate Of Shoes At The Beach) Poo-Poo Sacks And The Fate Of Shoes At The Beach)

COCK-A-POOP'S  {grin}

Blessings,

Just a quick comment for the moment as I need to get working on putting something together for the Pedigree Adoption Drive (before the 19th!). "For the Love of a Dog" - how could I NOT be part of this fabulous initiative. Tried "the flip" on Mickey (for the first time) yesterday - moderate success. Think he was slightly confused !!>?? as to why he was being flipped onto his back whilst JUST trying to be a macho boy! Will hopefully get some photos to share.
P.S. Have had the most wonderful time reading back over your previous posts. I have laughed (and cried!). LOVE your family and LOVE the way you write about them. Thank you SOO much for sharing such beautiful (uplifting) memories. :)Sharyne

Thanks for your lovely comments. I totally agree - we have "got" so much more from our dogs than we have ever given. Talking about heaven - have a read of the poem I included in this post : http://goldenvalley50.blogspot.com/2010/04/remembering-mum.html
My Mum was an animal lover as well and adored everyone of our dogs (not to mention cats, horses & birds!). One day she was lamenting about the fact that she wasn't "good" at anything and didn't have any special skills. Matthew (who was about 12 at the time) turned to her and said - "Yes you are Nanny - you are the "Mother Therese of Animals"! I'll never forget the huge smile that came across her face. It was as if nothing else mattered - the love and kindness she had shown all her life had been validated in 4 simple words. I included the poem "Rainbow Bridge" in my eulogy to her. It said it all! It makes me smile to think of her in heaven with Ralphy, Ben, Jess and her adored Laddie. Thanks once again for your post - it's good to know there are other people who understand what it means to love a dog. Take care. :)Sharyne
