Halloween with SuzyQ and Her Views

SUZY Q's VIEWS:

Thinking about Halloween. What shall I dress up as? Oh yeah, I’m a black cat. Maybe that’ll do.

Halloween – a perfect holiday to spook my cat siblings. I’ll start plotting now.

Only one day till Halloween. The plot thickens...


Today's Halloween! I can't wait for tonight. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but this cartoon picture is a hint of things to come. And here are pictures from last year's Halloween.

Mandi, unfazed.

SuzyQ, unimpressed.

Riley, thinking: They're fake.

Boo! Heh, heh, heh. I thought I’d tricked ‘em good! This is me. Scary, huh?

And this is them. You win some, you lose some. But I had a great Halloween anyway!

Mandi: Am I supposed to be scared?

Riley: Ho hum...

Home, Sweet Home for Gloria!

Gloria found her forever home after only a few weeks at Animal Care Sanctuary, where she had a romping good time. But there's nothing better than having her own home with her own family. I couldn't be happier for her! Sure looks like she is going to be loved and make the perfect addition to her new family. I swear she's proud of herself as she poses and grins with glee!

Darlington Dogs at Bridgette's

As always, Bridgette was open-hearted to taking in a few dogs who were being transported the weekend of 10/18/14. She certainly has the perfect property for dogs to let loose on, and indeed they did. Heck, I think I want to live at Bridgette's! Anyway, these great dogs had a blast as they relaxed and played overnight, on their way to the northeast the following day. What a great mini vacation they had.

Rudy, taking a breather.

Stella, clowning around.

About Darlington Express & Almost Home Dog Rescue

An article appeared in The Chestnut Hill Local about the Almost Home Dog Rescue fundraiser, a 5k walk/race held September 27, 2014. It is a great article and speaks well about how Almost Home operates. Please click on this link to read about it.

Happy Tails!

Layla Finds Her Family! Lovely Layla went home Thursday with her new family, a woman and her adult son. Layla will be their one and only. They had seen Layla and that was it, but the mom decided to surprise her son by not telling him they were adding Layla to their family. In an unusual one-day adoption, Layla was on her way home, with a stopover on the way to buy tennis balls, because they knew Layla's favorite activity is to chase after them. Happy days are ahead for Layla! We'll miss you, sweet girl.

Transport Drivers Save the Lives of Dogs!

Please consider being a transport driver for an organization in your area. Help get dogs out of situations where they will be killed and transport them to a safe place, either a dog rescue group, a no-kill shelter, a foster family or best yet, their forever home. It's very simple. You sign up, they send you an e-mail telling you when the next transport will occur, and you have the opportunity to sign up for one of the "legs" of the long journey. If you sign up, you show up at the location at the appointed time and transfer dogs from another driver's vehicle into yours. You then drive the dogs to the next location, which is usually about an hour away. It works like the Underground Railroad, with the dogs ending up being safe, sound and happy. How great is that?!!?
