This is one of our favourite dogs at the dogs home. She's called Holly and she's amazing! She's only a year or so old and is so cuddly and friendly. We took her and her kennel mate Sally into the compound to play with them for a bit and they were lovely. They ran after rope toys and wanted lots of fussing and attention.

Song Of The Day: Beyonce - Halo
Reason: Beautiful song.

Highlight Of The Day: Getting a new job as assistant manager at a local pet store. It's only temporary for the moment, but will hopefully lead to more in the future!

Inspiration Of The Day: This is a horrible article on the daily life of animal shelters in the USA. Such a shame that they put them down rather than trying to save them.

Dogs Trust Sponsor A Dog - Lexi

Whilst we were at HOYS yesterday we signed up to the sponsor a dog scheme run by the Dogs Trust charity organisation. They take in stray and unwanted dogs and try to rehome them. They also never put healthy dogs down just because they don't have the space or resources which is great. I think it's really important to invest a small donation as regular as possible into charities such as this because animals can be treated so cruelly by heartless people which is never their fault. They don't deserve to be treated badly and I'd be heartbroken if anyone abused or mistreated my animals. So whilst I can't adopt every animal going like I would like to, we've chosen to adopt Lexi, a dalmation-labrador cross and give £9 a month towards his keep. He lives in Liverpool and we can actually go visit him! So I definitely want to do that at some point and take him a toy and some treats. I will also be making sure I keep you updated when he sends me his updates and making sure I stick to my Charity Of The Month blog posts as they really could make a difference, even if one person donates a couple of pounds to a cause.
