Peanut: Pet of the Day

This pup's future's so bright, she's gotta wear shades.

This pup's future's so bright, she's gotta wear shades. I bet she's hoping that future includes some of her fave snackies like carrots, apples, and PB. Lil Peanut loves going on adventures in the car and to the pet store. Oh yeah, and the dog park as the high-energy pooch enjoys running circles around the other dogs, and even has her own pair of pink Doggles to keep those eyes protected!

Even though it's all happy times now, her past wasn't so great – the Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix was abandoned in a shelter in Austin because her old family said this five-pound pooch was too big for their new house . . . hmm, sounds suspicious to me. Thankfully the ladies at the shelter brought the cutie to an adoption fair in Arizona where she met her new mommy, lilyofthewest! Yay for happy endings . . . and yay for Friday!

Dakota: Pet of the Day

It's National Pet Week and, to kick it off, I'm starting Pet of the Day!

It's National Pet Week and, to kick it off, I'm starting Pet of the Day! That's right all the POTW goodness you love each day! Our first lucky furball is Dakota. I couldn't help but pick him – he looks rather derby worthy in that big hat. . . . while also looking Cinco de Mayo appropriate. This cutie pie loves to sit in warm places – in the sunshine, fresh-from-the-dryer laundry, or snuggly under the covers. The lil Rat Terrier was rescued by jgasia and now enjoys wiggling around, getting treats, and chasing birds in the backyard. What a life!
