NO DOGS FOR LAPORTE!!!!!

Here is one of the Laporte dogs after being in a foster home. Happy and healthy.



Scroll down in this post to see what this dog looked like when the dogs were removed from Laporte.


Warning this post shows pictures of dogs that have been SEVERLY NEGLECTED.The pictures are difficult to look at. Do not read any further if these type of pictures are disturbing to you

You may have seen the picture and link to the petition " No Dog's For Laporte" on the top right of my blog. It's about the nearly 100 Wire Fox Terriers rescued from the Montreal, Canada puppy mill owned by Marc-Andre Laporte.

To read about this case when it first happened in November 2005 check here: http://www.spcamontreal.com/english/pages/whats_new/news.html

These are the conditions of some of the dogs that were saved from under Laporte's 'care'.

Well on May 6/08 the verdict finally came down.

Judge Sirous sentenced Laporte as GUILTY!!! YES!!

He will be fined $2000 and have to do 200 hours of community service. He will be unable to own or breed dogs for 3 years and most of all he will NOT be able take back 18 of the Wire Fox Terriers that he was trying to get back!These 18 dogs have been called "the Blaineville Wires"

Ya- we know it really doesn't sound like all that much of a sentence when you see how he kept the dogs that he supposedly 'loved so much', but it was the most that the judge could give him.

Nearly 15,000 people signed the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/no-dogs-for-laporte to stop Laporte from getting the dogs back and to make sure he was sentenced as guilty.

Watch this video to see the full story and how happy and healthy some of the dogs are now.

Thank- you Judge Sirois for sentancing him as guilty! We wish you could have given him a stronger sentance including jail time. We wish he would never being allowed to own a dog again!

Sad News From The Agility World - Lis' K. Has Passed On

No I never met Lis' but I am truly saddend to say that I have recieved the news that she passed on yesterday. A few weeks back I posted about Lis' and her Chinese Crested Diva running in their last agility trial together.

Lis' had been told she had 3 weeks left to live. She convinced the doctors to let her out of the hospital that day so she could run one last time with Diva in the agility trial.

Lis' and Diva recieved a Super 'Q' and their ATCH that day!

Her spirit and love of her dog and agility are so evident on the video! It is inspiring to watch.

Lis' is an inspiration to so many people within the agiltiy world. She reminded us to 'Seize The Day' and treasure the time we have with our loved ones including our much loved dogs!

My previous posting and the video of Lis' and Diva's last agility run can be seen here.

Peace be with you Lis'.

A SPECIAL VIDEO TRIBUTE TO LIS' AND DIVA

Make sure you have the kleenex ready! Momma has been crying her eyes out each time she watches this video. It is one of the most touching videos we have ever seen. Make sure to turn on the speakers. It is definately worth watching to the end.

It was posted on a list by our agility instructor who has corresponded with Lis'. It has touched our hearts and reminded us to cherish the important moments in our lives.

That day Lis ' and Diva received their final "Q" (Qualifying Run) for their ADCH Title (Agility Dog Champion) Title. This is the highest title in the USDAA (United States Dog Agility Association). This is about so much more than a 'title'.

It is about the purest sense of joy that we can see in both Lis' and Diva as they run together this one last time.

I have never met you Lis' but I want to thank you for this special gift! You have touched my heart and you are an inspiration to us all! God bless you! You are in our prayers.

Weather Warning

Guess what happened here? All our snow had melted and it was getting dry. Momma was happy 'cause there were no more wet muddy pawsies tracking mud into the house.

(Don't know who does that???)

We were all waiting for the grass to start turning green and all the flowers to start coming up. We were watching all the other doggies like Blue and Princess Isis who are posting lovely spring pictures of green grass and flowers. And then guess what?

This is what happened here.

OMD!! the Weatherman said we were gonna get 24 inches of the white stuff!

24 inches !!! We were worried for a while there. Buddy is the tallest of us three and he is only 16 inches to the shoulder!

Here Nikki ventures out to test the snow.

Luckily the good ole Canadian weatherman was wrong again and we only got 4 inches and most of that has melted away already

Nikki and I prefer not to get our pawsies wet so we are hanging out up on the deck where it is drier.

Now once it all melts we get to play in the mud again! Well really its only Buddy who likes to play in the mud.

Did you know that Momma calls him Muddy Buddy?

ARE YOU GOING TO DWB'S CHAT PAWTY???

We are! We hope to see you there!

Hummm... Should we dress spwecial for the occasion?

Let's see... ( going into the dog closet to look for spwecial occasion dog clothes)

I'll let all doggies and hammies and kitties know when I find something cool to wear for the Chat Pawty

Buddy Becomes A Pet Therapy Dog!

Hi everydog (and some kitties and hammies too),

It's me-Buddy

Guess what I did last week? I went on my 1st Pet Therapy visit. Momma has been wanting to do Pet Therapy for a long time. She even made Casper and I get our CGN (which stands for Canine Good Neighbour). It's a test of how well I behave and listen to her and she wanted to make sure we had it before we started going out on visits.

So she arranged for just the 2 of us (Momma and me) to go visit some really nice elderly people in a nursing home. Ha ha - the eskies had to stay home. And boy did those people ever like me! Most of them had doggies during their lives and were really happy to visit with me and tell Momma and me stories about the doggies that they used to have.

I walked around and let them pet me. I sat on some people's laps and ate the doggie treats that Momma brought for them to give me. I showed them my tricks like shake a paw, play dead and roll over. It was fun , fun, fun.

We are gonna go visit every week, but couldn't this week as Momma was sick. Hurry up Momma get better! I have people to visit! Maybe I should show them some agility stuff next time. What do you think?

Woofs from Buddy
