Happy 264th Birthday Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!

"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"

"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! Hey Samson, it looks like we have another great classical composer celebrating another birthday!"

"MEOW!? What? HISS! HISS! Is this guy dead too? Like Beethoven was last month?!"

"Yup! He would have been 264-years-old today!"

"Purrs! WOW! And, I thought you and dad were old! Why are we still celebrating his birthday.... shouldn't it have stopped where he died?! What's so great about Mozart anyway?"

"Barkingly, Mozart was one of classical music's early composers. He was a child prodigy who began playing the piano almost on the day he was born! Barks! At age 3 he was picking out chords on the harpsichord, at age 4 he was playing short pieces, and at age 5 he was composing! WOOF! Barks!"

"Purrs, ah yes, I read a few things about him recently. Unlike any other composer in history, he wrote in all musical genres of his day and excelled at each! Meows, his compositions made him seem the most universal of all composers! Yet, at the same time, his music seemed to have been written to accommodate the tastes of particular audiences!"

"WOOF! Barkingly, some of Dad's favorite music from Mozart are his symphonies, concertos, and sacred works which they could play in the church! It's funny, I've heard Dad say that although chamber music is not among his favorite classical pieces, he enjoys Mozarts'! Now you know why Dad plays so much Mozart around the studio when he is working! Also, he got to spend time in Salzburg, Austria, years ago visiting his birthplace! He's loved the music since he discovered it hundreds of years ago!"

"Meows! Purrs, well, it should be no surprise to me that I enjoy Mozart's music too since his music appealed to so many audiences! Purr..."

WOOF! Meet my beautiful darlin' friend from Operation Paws For Homes! Desna is around 6-years old and a Black Labrador Retriever mix with the mostest beautifulest black coat! It makes her look so gorgeous! WOOF! WOOF!

She is house and crate-trained but prefers being outside as much as pawssible exploring the universe and it's bazillion different scents. She wants to explore them all with her humans! She sleeps there, eats there, and knows the drill. Barkingly, she can be trusted out of the crate too.

Desna loves peanut butter- dip anything in it and she's lovin' life! She loves hot dogs too- maybe dipped in peanut butter? WOOF!

She loves going for walks, rolling in wet grass after a rain, sniffing leaf piles, and knows some basic commands. Barkingly, she may test you to see what she can get away with, after all, puppies will be puppies! She likes getting exercise too!

Desna has recently had FHO surgery because of a problem in her back leg. Since she was so uncomfortable before the surgery, she found she prefers a quiet home, mostly a mini-human free home. She can handle older mini-humans but the mini-mini-humans scare her!

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! It's always a pawleasure to catch up with my friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue but sometimes its funnier than others! Barks, this week was one of those times. She was surrounded by 3 Labrador Retrievers looking for their "Forever Homes!" with humans to love who will love them too! WOOF! These dogs are twirling here round and round and round and round again. I'm just going to let her twirl while I share about these dogs!

Barkingly, she has the run of her foster's house without any issues. She even tolerates a bath. WOOF!

He is around 1-2-years-old, a Merle Great Dane with natural ears, all muscle, house- and crate-trained, is learning to play, has lots of energy, loves going for rides, and enjoys exploring. He loves being with his humans and is a Velcro-Dane! He will lay at your feet all day if you allow him!

Though he is house-trained and has not had an accident in his foster home, he is not to be trusted to free roam in the house without supervision yet. He is tall enough to counter surf and has shown some puppy curiosities!

Bingo will need some patience from his adopter while settling into his new home as all pups do! he needs to learn to be a puppy and wants a confident dog in the home to teach him the ropes. He will need a fenced yard and pawlenty of exercise!

Bingo will not be adopted to a first-time Dane owner! Since he's so young and full of puppiness, he will have a training addendum attached to his adoption.

Bingo is good with mini-humans ages 8 and older and with dogs. He has no history with cats.
