WOOF! This week, my pawsome crazy friend from "Lab Rescue of L.R.C.P., Inc." came swirling and twirling by surrounded by nine pairs of bonded-buddies who are looking for their "Forever Homes!" WOOF!

Have you ever heard the saying "two-are-better-than-one?" WOOF! In the care of Labrador Retrievers, the saying has never been more true! WOOF! Barks! When you adopt a pair of Labradors, you are doubling your fun too! WOOF!

WOOF! Bonded Buddies means the dogs which make up a pair have either been together for all of their lives or most of it. When this happens, the two learn to depend on each other and enjoy the company.  BARKS! Some of the bonded buddies are related, brother and sister, or formed friendship somewhere along the way.  Barkingly, either way, it is really cool to see the dogs together and the love they have for each other and their humans!

Lab Rescue is committed to keeping bonded pairs together and we need your help to honor that commitment. Barks, there are nine pairs of Labradors waiting for their "Forever Home!" Barkingly, even better, from now through Thursday, February 14, Lab Rescue is offering a $200 discount per pair off the usual adoption fees thanks to two generous supporters!

Here is a list of the available Labrador Retrievers with a few quick notes. Paws, take your pick of yellow, chocolate and black, and a variety of ages. Learn more at www.lab-rescue.org/pairs.

Walter would be quite content to be your one-and-only-cat-that-is but really likes other cats and would happily live with fellow feline family members! Meows!

HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope you've had a meowingly pawsome week! I know it's hard to get back to work after Christmas and New Year's! At least, for me, it is because while the humans enjoyed the holidays, I explored the house and took naps and well, just enjoyed myself! MEOWS!

Purr! Purr! Purr! My friend "Miss Kim" from the Homeless Animals Rescue Team (HART) brought by a beautiful cat for you to meet! Olivia! She is around 4-years-old, she is friendly with dogs and mini-humans. Hiss! But, not with other cats!

Olivia is a pawsomely loving cat! She loves all kinds of affection and attention! She purrs nonstop when being petted and will rub against your legs to let you know she's there! She loves being brushed while watching TV with her humans!

A kitty hug? Purrs, Olivia will roll on her back to give you a kitty hug especially when she is super happy!

Olivia is mostly a calm girl and lounger than a player. Meowingly, she will enjoy a round or two with a feather teaser, or wand toy, and chasing her toy mouse!

Olivia likes to sleep in her cat bed by a vent to keep warm or by a window so she can watch birds and the world go by!

If you have questions about Olivia, pawlease contact Kim!

Friday's Friend! Dog Adoption, Cat Adoption

Remember the pawsome snowstorm Diego which left quite a bit of snow in Southern Virginia and North Carolina in December? WOOF! I was supposed to visit my Aunt Prissyface and Uncle Tallguy but couldn't! Arf.

Barks, I got to visit them this week and didn't have time to write! I wanted to spend as much time with them as I could so they would have the pawsome oppawtunity to rub my belly, scratch my ears and rub my head. After all, they are not blessed with a dog. They have 2 pawsome cats, Max and Zoey, which I enjoyed visiting with! Every home needs a dog too! WOOF!

I will be writing again next week about all my pawsome friends who need "Forever Homes" and humans to love! WOOF!

MEOW! I will be back writing too! I had the whole house to myself so exploring I went! Meows!

Happy New Year 2019!

"WOOF! WOOF! Samson, are you making any New Year's Resolutions this year?"

"Meow! Hiss! Yes, more catnip!"

"More catnip? Arf?"

"Meow, purr, more catnip, and more catnip, and more catnip,"

"Isn't there anything more than just catnip?"

"I can't tell you all my plans for 2019! You might interfere or bark or, uh, do any of those annoying other things dogs do!"

"Woof? Really?"

"Yes, if I told you that I am going to do my best to grab me a piece of shrimp or a piece of lobster tail or a piece of fish after Dad brings them in from grilling you might tell the humans! Meow!"

"Woof! Great idea- surprise the humans in 2019! I'm there with ya buddy!"

WOOF! WOOF! MEOW! MEOW! 

Our bestest paws, barks, and meows to you for a most pawsomely grand 2019!
