Just for a Day...

Penny

MoriDog #157

Sometimes a dog finds her forever home right away. In Penny's case, it was a bit like the game of Telephone. There was a neighbor, who had a friend, who had a dog she couldn't keep... And the neighbor asked Penny's eventual human if she could look after her "just for a day" while they figured out how to rehome her. (How many of us have heard that "just for a day" story? It's like a temporary tax.)  In any case, Penny was sent next door with all of her things, and was waiting patiently for a late-night snack when, unprompted, she performed the neat little trick you see just above. It clinched the deal! But our soft-hearted foster dogmom had agreed with her boyfriend that dogs needed to be approved together. The next day, Boyfriend also agreed to "just the day." That was 5 years ago, and Penny is still melting hearts with her treat sit.  Her breed? Maybe Australian Kelpie with some Pharaoh Hound in the mix,

Big Trip Coming Up

Cooper
MoriDog #156

Don't let Cooper's slightly inattentive gaze fool you. He is a dog in MOTION! This wiggly guy is only 8 months old, and his stillness lasted only a fraction of a second. I'll let you in on a secret, but you have to promise not to tell. Cooper is about to go on his first duck hunting trip! 

New Pup in Town

 Sweetie Pie

MoriDog #155

Sweetie Pie is a terrier rescue of uncertain mix. But just look at that sweet face, and soulful eyes! She has been in town only only a few months, so she and her human are just getting to know each other. 

The Friendliest Dog on the Beach

Buddy

MoriDog #154

Buddy is a MoriDog on the move!  His human assures me that as a Pointer, his work in the field is excellent. I don't think there were any pheasant in the bushes down at the south end of Sharp Park, but Buddy was checking. In between (and also during) hunting trips, Buddy likes to sleep in the car. He is reported to be the friendliest dog on the beach!

The Blog is Back!

Max
MoriDog #153

News Flash! MoriDogs is back in action! Luna is gone now, but Henley (MoriDog #152) will carry on her work.

Separated at birth? Max, on the left, looks a lot like Henley! They are both the big chunky "English" style yellow Labrador. Max was a Christmas present 6 years ago. Lucky humans! Max is everything they could dream of in a dog. His hobby is swimming, and he has the superpower of unconditional love.
