Giggles, Wiggles and Wags

July 9, 2013
     Good gracious! What a hot muggy day! But,somehow, we came out of it with five happy pooches and one happy person! There were many dog walkers today, so everyone got mad love. As I was walking up to HSHV today, I saw Dixie on a walk down Cherry Hill with her Head Start walker, Amy. They looked happy and tired when they returned. Then I saw my girl Cinnamon. Her walker and I were chatting and I got to steal some hugs from her. Love that Cinnamon!

Cinnamon...everybody LOVES this girl!


OK on to the business of walking...My first guest was Junior. He is an older fella. Chocolate Lab. I believe that he is 9 years old. He was very nice and entirely gracious that he was chosen from his very competitive end of the kennel. (They are the loudest and right by the walkers room)! He has a little limp,so we took it slow and I massaged his shoulder on returning. He seemed to enjoy that.

Junior (is a senior citizen in doggy years)!


So, on to the next walk. Another little gentleman named Conner, He is a chubby wumba. A terrier mix with longer hair and what a doll! He was wearing a collar (of shame), so we couldn't make a lot of eye contact. It took a minute to clarify what exactly we were going to do once we got outside. At this time there were 4 others dogs walkers all in visual range and we were kind of blocking the walking!! Finally after all the business end of the outing was taken care of...(ahem)...off we went. Now he went right into action and I had to hustle to keep up with him!

The next little girl is a new one that unfortunately there is no photo of yet. Her name is Sassy and she is a mostly white Pit bull  mix. She has brown freckles on her ears and she is an absolute charmer!! Very quiet and polite, yet balanced perfectly with wiggles and tail wags and a look of happiness plastered all over her pretty face. We walked over to some tables and I invited her to climb up and when she got up there, she started kissing my EARS! I could "hear" how happy she was...it was pretty cute!
   Then, I finished my day walking one of my favorites MEECH!!!  He STILL is the champ of charm. His sweet face and docile mannerism, coupled with his adorable face...oh my goodness. I am amazed that he hasn't been snatched up yet. Hopefully that will happen soon!
Meech.....how can anyone resist this face??

There was a two special adoptions yesterday. Red (the N.C. dog that had the snakebite) and Keyla a foster that had been with HSHV for quite a while. We were all very very happy that they found their homes.
Red found her forever home yesterday!

  1. Oh my gosh Junior is such a handsome gentleman! I wish I could have a dog right now, I would snatch him up. I hope he finds the right home to live out his golden years. Meech is way too cute as well.
