WOOFS! BARKS! One of my mostest favoritest activities with my human is going railfanning! What is that you ask? It's simply going someplace in the universe to watch trains go by. We gather our stuff for the day, take off in Dad's car and head to places throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

Dad brings along several of his favorite magazines like Classic Trains, Trains, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Historical Magazine, and Railroad History the Journal of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society so he can read while waiting for trains to come by. 

Barkingly, since Dad likes to photograph our adventures, he will be sharing his photographs at Allen Pearson Photography and videos at YouTube - Allen Pearson Photography

After a bit of time doing this, I have become interested in railroad history along with my human. Barks, so I am going to be posting a bit of railroad history along with his posts of photography! It will be so cool! Barks. Follow his Journal at Allen Pearson Photography Journal to receive his posts and the bestest ones with my "Noah's Paw of Railroad History!" My first collaboration post is found, Allen Pearson Photography and Noah's Paw of Railroad History.

WOOF! WOOF! Before you take your dog railfanning with you, there are a lot of safety considerations. Paws, I will be writing about these in a future post. Pawlease consider all safety precautions before doing so!

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's is Christmas eve and all throughout the land, the humans were preparing to go to Christmas Eve service while the critters were quietly waiting to scurry about and do their Christmas tasks at hand. They wait for the all-clear.

As the humans leave for their Christmas Eve Service, the critters, puppies, kittens, cats, dogs, deer, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rabbits, birds, and so many other wildlife gather in the streets of the neighborhood. They begin dancing to the music filling the air while decorating the bushes, shrubs, and trees, and more. They pawty, laugh, chuckle, and celebrate together as they chat about their year with the humans and another one with each other, their critter friends- all of which are needed to fill an impawtant role in the lives of their humans and the realms of the universe. As the evening goes, faster than they ever want, they finish their evening giving Christmas gifts to their friends and wrapping others for their humans.

The evening grows late and dark with light from the skies lighting their way. All of a sudden the evening grows very quiet not a sound is heard as they walk slowly towards their homes. It's almost eerie as the usual hustle and bustle noises of the city are gone and the lights too.

As the critters walk, the skies begin to illuminate. Before long, a star in the east began to get brighter and brighter. The star began shining a light toward the ground seems to be an area close to the critter's home. They watched as it seemed to get brighter and brighter as the seconds ticked away. The crew of critters decided to walk toward the light to see what it was.

They walk quietly and slowly through the woods over the creek and down to the street exploring as they went. A crowd of humans had formed where the light was shining the brightest. Scared, they scatter and hid shaking as they look around.  

Almost in an instant, the critters settled down, they were no longer scared or shaking. The light seemed to grow wider on the ground so as to include them in the circle around the humans. A wave of peace and contentment filled the hearts of the critters as they scrambled around the legs of the humans to see what it was the light was shining so bright upon. They are in awe at what they find.

Happy Winter Solstice!

WOOF! My human's leastest favorite day of the year has arrived! The Winter Solstice! Yet, it is a favorite day too! Barks, I KNOW you should try being his bestest friend- it gets confusing!. 

The day is not his favorite because it's the beginning of the winter season! Pawing, this means the pawssibility of snow, ice, and blizzards are pawssible which he doesn't like at all. Unless, he can sit inside and watch the snowfall from his couch! Barks!

WOOF! I, on the other hand, being of great canine mind, enjoy the snow! I love playing in it, rolling around in it, and as my favorite character Linus does, try to eat it. And, I love just watching it fall from the sky. Barks, I'm hoping there will be pawlenty of snow this season!

PetSmart Charities and Your PinPad Donations!

(C) PetSmart Charities
(C) PetSmart Charities


WOOF! Barks! Samson and I are rescued pets! Thankfully, our stories are about rescues who found us whether, through a shelter or somebody someone knew, they rescued us from situations that were dire. Paws, we have shared our pawsonal stories over the years many times over as a thank you to those who helped us, and, barkingly, as a means to share with humans about the advantages of adopting a pet instead of shopping for a pet. 

Paws, another pawsome way to help dogs and cats in need is to donate to PetSmart Charities. You can donate once or monthly or whatever suits your budget! Barkingly, a really great way to donate is to add a donation at check-out called a "PinPad" donation. You could do this every time you purchase products for your sweet dog or cat. Woofs, our humans donate $1 for each of us, me and Samson! We love it because it makes us feel like we are doing something to help our fellow dog and cat friends in need. WOOF! 

Barks! If you would like to learn where donations help, pawlease visit the PetSmart Charities - Financials.



WOOF! Barks! we hope you will join us in supporting the work of PetSmart Charities helping dogs and cats find their "Forever Homes!"

WOOF! WOOF! My friend "Lab Lady" at Lab Rescue brought by a pair of beautiful and most pawnderful female Black Labrador Retrievers for you to meet! Jenny and Hayley are looking for their "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love them too in a single-family home with a physically fenced yard. Paws, they are bonded buddies and will need to be adopted together. 

Barkingly, Jenny is a pawsomely lovely and confident girl who loves being around her humans and on the couch with them getting belly rubs. She enjoys going for walks on a leash, swimming, and gets excited when she sees the leash coming out! She knows it's adventure time!

Woofs, Hayley has become more comfortable and loves getting her head and whole body rubbed while sitting on the couch with her humans. This is why God gave humans two hands! WOOFS! She loves going out in the backyard. What she loves mostest is having Jenny and her foster's dogs chase her. She's the fastest and knows all the places to hide from them! WOOFS! 

Paws, Hayley and Jenny are bestest friends who met each other in foster care. They have sweet cheerful pawsonalities that compliment each other pawnderfully. They love playing with toys. They do well meeting new humans though Hayley is more comfortable with women than men! 

Barks, Hayley and Jenny are looking for a quiet home without too many humans coming and going. The girls will need some extra time to get to know their humans and figure out their surroundings. Although they need to move at their own pace, they will thrive in a patient and loving family. 

Pawlease take a few minutes to view their videos:

Friday's Friend! Dog Adoption, Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League

WOOF! Woof! Happy Friday! My friend the "Great Dane Dame" of the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League brought a handsome and quite interesting character for you to meet this week, Frank! He is looking for a "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love him too.  

In barking with Frank, I've learned he is the Two Dimensional Hound and around 3 1/2-years-old. He's a what? WOOF! Don't worry, it's not because of his personality, it's just he's complex! I'll let him put it his own way, "My looks are deceiving. I may LOOK like a tall, handsome fawn Great Dane, but I am, in fact, basically a cat crossed with an anxious blonde. Don’t let that turn you off...I am quite entertaining, and I do love my people. Don’t feel bad for my svelte frame, either - I choose this. A fella’s gotta watch his figure, woofs! I don’t want to be chunky, so I make sure I skip a few meals to keep this lean figure!" Woof, I get it, I think. 

(C) 2020, from The Dog's Paw!
Barkingly, Frank doesn't care to interact with most other dogs. He would be comfortable with cats in the home since he thinks he's one and behaves like one and even acts like one, but NO dogs! Paws, he might consent to an alpha female dog. He loves cats! He loves to rub on you back and forth then suddenly turn away so you can't pet him- like a cat! 

WOOF! Frank doesn't like water either. Even drinking it offends him. He doesn't even like walking on dewy grass or going out in the rain to do his business. He is super-sensitive about pretty much everything! 

Frank is looking for a home with very strong dog-savvy humans who will not allow him to push them around. No first-time dog owners for him! 

WOOFs! Frank's exercise needs are low. He loves to run but he isn't a dog who will drive you crazy bouncing off the walls. Frank will benefit greatly from formal training. It will help him to be happier! 

 Barkingly, Frank takes a little time to warm up to men. Paws, he always comes around shortly if they are polite and gentle. 

Paws, Frank is pawsomely sweet and loving. He is endlessly amusing with his antics. 

He will really appreciate a quiet home without lots of activity though he can be gracious with visitors. 

To learn about adopting a Great Dane, meet Frank, and to apply to pawssibly adopt him, pawlease visit the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League Adoption Guide.

Do you love Great Danes but are not able to adopt? How about considering sponsoring Frank? Sponsoring Frank provides financial resources for his food, care, and Veterinary needs. Interested? Pawlease visit Sponsor!

National Cat Lovers Month!

"MEOWS! PURRS! For National Cat Lover's Month, I'm going to share with you some photos of cats this month as we celebrate the greatness of cats!

So that's me, Samson, sitting on the desk chair. Have you ever wondered who was really in charge of 'From The Dog's Paw?' I'm guessing by the name, you think a dog?! Well, you are partially, maybe half-right! It's really me! A handsome most distinguished, most intelligent, most creative, and bestest-ever cat!

Meows. So why are is it called "from The Dog's Paw" and not 'from The Cat's Claw' or maybe 'from the Cat's Claw and the Dog's Paw?' Well, that last one is too long. Imagine the URL for it! It's simple really, originally Noah was the only Pawthor. His cat brother who contributed occasionally passed away years ago. At the time of deciding the name, Noah was the main Pawthor. He and Dad liked the name so it's "from the Dog's Paw!" 

Then I came along. The greatest-cat-ever-in-the-entire-universe! Noah asked me to be a Cat Pawthor to write about cat adoption, share cat stories, review a few cat products and add the greatest cat to "from The Dog's Paw" that only a great cat like me can ever do! Meows. So I did. And I am."

Happy Birthday Beethoven!

"WOOF! WOOF! BARKS!" "MEOWS! Purrs!" "Happy 250th Birthday! If Beethoven were still alive, we have a huge birthday party for one of classical music's greatest composers, Ludwig van Beethoven!"

"HISS! Noah, why do we celebrate a birthday for someone who died at age 56 in 1827?"

"Barks, you hear the music Dad plays around the house all the time? He plays Beethoven quite often as he's one of his favorite composers! Beethoven was one of those guys who liked to change the rules, go against the norm to explore music in his way. He studied with Franz Joseph Haydn who was instrumental in teaching him about composing and all its intricacies to completing a pawsome piece of music. 

When Beethoven decided to "create his own way" he changed music forever! WOOF! Which, if you like music other than classical, you should be pawsomely thankful for his endeavors!"

"Meows! Oh! Why doesn't Dad listen to anything else besides classical music?"

"WOOF! He does. Just not as often. Something about classical music that he really loves!"

"Meows! Maybe I should change the stations on his stereo system and make play him more of the other music!"

"Barks! I'm up for that- maybe some Journey or Foreigner?!" 

"Meows- we'll let him celebrate Beethoven's birthday with a day of his music but after that! We are taking over the stereo!"

WOOF! Barks! Happy Friday! My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by a pawsome Chocolate Labrador Retriever who is looking for a "Forever Home!" in a rural or suburban single-family house with a physical fence. She must be your one-and-only-dog-that-is!

Meg is a sweet 12-year-old lady who has some pawsomely fun quirks about her. She will only play with her treat ball after 8:00 p.m. Barkingly, she seems to believe pawsitively firmly her bedtime, is EVERYONE's bedtime too! Barks, she will only go upstairs when both foster parents go upstairs! WOOFS! And, paws, I am going to have to try this one, Meg will only eat her breakfast after her morning snuggles. Barkly, the foster mom MUST massage her ears and tell her how beautiful she is before she will proceed to her food bowl.

Pawingly, Meg is barkingly happy to have a walking buddy every day! Walks with other dogs are uneventful. She tends to ignore the other dogs. Barks, except when she needs the new puppy on the block- woofs, she gets all excited to see the little guy! 

Woofs, Meg's foster parents went on a vacation so she got a mini-vacation with her step foster humans! She had an easy transition and was happy on her vacation. She quickly found the couch and claimed her spot! She pawsitively loved exploring their large fenced backyard! She found a pile of leaves and couldn't resist taking a rest. 

Watch Meg enjoy her outside time: Meg Enjoying the Outdoors

Meg enjoys going for car rides! She knows some basic commands, "come," "sit," "stay," "down," and "go to bed." 

Barks, After Meg gets to know and trust her humans, she is will become the most adoring and loyal companion you could ever find! She does get a bit nervous around strangers and other animals. 

Paws, Meg is looking for a "Forever Home!" to live out her golden years on a soft sofa. 

Meg is approved for mini-humans ages 10 and older. She has lived with cats and did well with them. She prefers to be your-one-and-only-canine-companion!

MEOWS! MEOWS! Oh my paws and claws! Purrs! Purrs! What a pawsitively beautiful cat my friend "Cat Lady" from PetConnect Rescue brought by this week! Meet Ginger! She is looking for her "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love her too!

Ginger is a beautiful, sweet-natured girl around 1 1/2 -years-old. She is good with cats, dogs, and older mini-humans! She is a special needs girl so she is looking for an experienced cat family who will provide her the bestest life pawssible. 

(C) 2020, from The Dog's Paw!

Meows, when Ginger came into PetConnect in Fall 2019, she had a partially healed broken back leg and a horrible herpes viral infection in her left eye which hadn't been treated. Paws, this led to impaired vision in her left eye. Though she was adopted by a caring family, she found herself returned after the family could no longer care for their resident cats. Purringly, when PetConnect Rescue took her in, the intake exam confirmed the loss of vision in her left eye and stomatitis on one side of her throat/oral cavity. She will pawbably require life-long periodic steroid and/or antibiotic injections to keep the inflammation in check. Meows, Ginger's "Forever Home!" adopters will be required to sign a special needs disclaimer to commit to the appropriate long term care of this beautiful girl.

Meowingly, Ginger spends in her foster home supervising her foster mom's "workday," snuggling on the couch and rolling over for belly rubs with the older mini-humans.

Purrs, Ginger has a pawsomely grand purr motor and enjoys a good brushing every morning!

Meows, Ginger is pawsome with her foster humans resident cats and dogs. She will be happiest in a "Forever Home!" where she will have feline companionship! Additional cat-friendly canine companions are a bonus!

Purrs, if you like to meet Ginger and to apply to pawssibly adopt her, pawlease complete the PetConnect Rescue Dog Adoption Application

Meows, are you unable to adopt? Pawlease consider supporting Ginger financially. Donations will assist with her care. Any extra funds will be used to assist other cats at PetConnect Rescue. Interested, pawlease donate HERE! Donations are tax-deductible!

Meows! Meows! It wouldn't be National Cat Lover's Month without a visit from my cousins in North Carolina, Max and Zoey! These two pawnderfully pawsome characters have the mostest hugest challenge, huger than any human and pawssibly any cat has to do! What is it? Taking care of my crazy Aunt Connie and Great Uncle Jack in North Carolina. Paws, they are up to it though! The adorable sweet pair have been keeping their household happy for many years. 

My Aunt Connie says, "We love our cats because they make us laugh.  They are loving and entertaining.  Zoey is a sweet, quiet loving little girl.  Max is always talking about something.  Wish we understood cat language.  They are both very affectionate and certainly keep us warm in the winter months."

Happy National Cat Lover's Month! Adopt a cat and know the happiness of loving a cat!

WOOF! Happy Friday! My pawsome friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue brought by a handsome 8-year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever named Stanley! He is looking for his "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love him too! He is looking for a single-family home with minimal steps. He doesn't have a fence requirement. 

Stanley loves being out in the backyard and can always find something fun to do, check out his video where he shares his favorite things to do, Stanley Great Outdoor Adventures. He is looking for humans who like to do the things he enjoys!

Stanley is around 50 lbs. and is pawfect for the human who is interested in a smaller Labrador Retriever. He enjoys hanging out with his humans. 

Barks! Stanley has an adorable head tilt which is likely pawmanent due to a previous ear infection. Barkingly, he has a not-always-linear walk due to some weakness in his back end. Paws, though he has experienced some bumps in the road of life, he has yet to quit smiling! 

Stanley has a pawsomely easy-going pawsonality which will help him fit into his new home! He likes to have an early breakfast and a stroll around the neighborhood before the workday begins. 

Woofs, er, shhhh, Stanley doesn't bark much. He does when he wants his dinner early but that's about it.  

Stanley is hoping to find a family who will include him in their activities. Barkingly, he is hoping they will be patient with him and not mind giving him a boost sometimes. He can handle a few steps entering and exiting a home but will need a lift to get into the couch or on the couch. 

Stanley is used to having a consistent potty break! He wears a male wrap at bedtime and when no one is home. Paws, he often wakes up during the night to go potty outside! If he sleeps through the night, he will need to go out immediately after waking up! Arf, sometimes he sleeps so soundly, he gets embarrassed by his "accidents" which are usually easily to clean up since he wears a wrap. His bathroom needs aren't burdensome when you look at his adorably handsome face and his looks of appreciation.

WOOF! WOOF! Barks, meet my new friend Tyson from PetConnect Rescue! He is a Black Labrador Retriever/Terrier/Pit Bull mix! He is around 5-years-old. He is looking for his "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love him too!

Tyson is a big and fit fella! He weighs around 80 lbs. though he can be somewhat intimidating, he is quiet, well-behaved, and sweet! He has the pawsitively bestest house manners! WOOF! Oh, he doesn't often bark either. He is good with other dogs. Barkingly, since he just got out of the shelter, so he finds some of the female dogs to be quite attractive! BARK! BARK! I've been rescued from the shelter for over 10 years, and I STILL find the female dogs quite attractive. Bark!

Woofs, Tyson learns quite quickly, so his leash training is progressing! He, barkingly, loves to go for car rides!

Tyson is fairly low-energy as long he has a nice yard to romp in and humans to be with. 

Woofs and barks, Tyson does NOT like the crate! Paws, he's terrified of it. Barkingly, he is house-trained and a good fella in the house, so he doesn't need a crate! 

Barks, Tyson's breed is a paw of a mystery. Pawingly, the local expert's best guess is mostly Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, and Sharpei thrown in a mixed together to get my handsome self for you to love. He doesn't have lots of wrinkles like the Sharpei, but his ears are tiny and squishy.
