And the Dog-Ma saga continues...In this highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Dog-Ma, The Zen of Slobber, Izzy, the feisty and ferocious terrier, has lost her eyesight. Following on the heels of this devastating loss, her arch-rival Morgan - a gentle giant of a Rottweiler - suddenly succumbs to cancer. Finding herself a lonely-only, it's not long before Izzy finds herself nose-to-nose with her humans' new pet project: a foster Rottie pup also named Morgan. Quickly renamed Emmi to avoid confusion (and the wrath of Izzy,) it was to be the beginning of a journey unlike any other.
Severely injured as a newborn, Emmi—affectionately known to her fast-growing online fan base as Baby Morgan the Broken Jaw Puppy—is hanging onto life by a thread. Living with a crushed jaw that has left her unable to open her mouth to eat or drink, the prognosis is grim. Baby Morgan is starving to death. Having rescued her from a horrific life, her parents spring into all-out desperation mode to find her the best lifesaving medical care. Despite the advice of veterinary professionals to euthanize, her parents are determined to save her at all costs. Taking to the Internet, they rally a huge online community of dog lovers who quickly become their second family. It does not take long for Emmi's sheer determination and ferocious will to live to take hold.
This is Emmi's miracle. A story of hope, inspiration and triumph in the face of adversity.

Dog-Ma: the Zen of Slobber (Dog-Ma Book 1)
Barbara's vivid and dramatic stories, told with a wicked sense of humor, will make you laugh out loud. She definitely gets what living with rescued dogs (nine of them!) is all about.
When Barbara meets her future husband, Ray, it is love-and dog-at first sight. Over the course of thirty-two years, seventeen relocations and nine dogs, their mutual love of dogs guides them on their unconventional path. The love that Barbara and Ray get in return is literally lifesaving, with one dog attacking a lethal intruder and another discovering Barbara’s cancer. Her own survival story underscores the story of how her dogs become survivors themselves.
Each new dog adds its own dynamic to the family, sometimes upending it. From Turbo (whose Spock-like ears may have provided super powers), Barbara learns about the will to live; Lexington demonstrates incredible patience and an inexplicable love of golf; Madison teaches that laughter is truly the best medicine and that the whole “nine lives thing” is not reserved just for cats; Morgan should be sainted for tolerating Izzy, who is as cute as she is bad. Barbara is certain that somewhere in doggie heaven there is a poster that says “If you are sick, injured or in need of really expensive medical care, FIND THESE HUMANS!”

Gone through the doggy door to fetch my keys after I locked myself out. Best fetch ever.
ReplyDeleteMy dog is very big but she always thinks of herself as a lap dog. Sitting in people's lap is her favorite!
ReplyDeletePets are always so funny. Hard to pick just one but I am amazed at how well the dog gets on with the cats.

ReplyDeleteI remember this one time coming home and seeing the kitchen closet open... and her dry food bag, that was on a high shelf, was now on the floor with the contents all over the floor... but that was only the first to come to mind, could have many more! :)
ReplyDeleteHe stole some sausages from the pantry and would not move from his basket the whole day - he thought he managed to hide the sausage from us... :)
ReplyDeleteWhen our guinea pig was boarded at a pet hotel, she somehow managed to escape from her pen at night to 'party'and would return to her pen in the morning. No one was aware of this until her action was caught on the hotel's cctv. The staff were suspicious when they saw a trail of her poop outside the pen.
