A Dog gets his day after Horrible Michael Vick

Last year during the Michael Vick shiteous debauchery that was his dog fighting dungeon, if I had been in the area-- I would have totally protested outside the courthouse throwing snausages and some mase at that low life while he entered the courthouse. I'm not along the lines of Peta, but I still get very sensitive when it comes to animal rights. Even when I go visit Lexie at the shelter, I get a lil sad because I want to adopt SO many dogs at the place (email me if you'd like the info about where we are adopting from- because this place is absolutely amazing!)..

Well, this story just melts my heart. Meet Leo, one of the victims who was severely abused when the cops found him and 50 other dogs at the hell hole. After being taken in by a very nice woman who is a certified trainer and worked with him in an intense program, Leo, a pit bull, is now what they say "a pussy cat" who likes to spend his time visiting with cancer patients.

He also goes and visits with young people on probation in San Jose, showing that even though he came from his awful background, you can totally be what you want to be.

Dogs are the best creatures ever..

A new edition to the fam!! (LOL not what you think)

Meet Lexie! The newest edition to the family.. She's a 1 1/2 year old Bassett hound/rottweiler mix just like her new big brother Rocco. We met her this weekend at an animal shelter close by and KNEW she was our dog. She's a lot smaller than Rocco, and is a very sweet girl. She comes home on Thursday!! And I'm already planning out all the girly collars and leashes I get to finally purchase! (Rocco wasn't a fan when I tried them on him). Roc & Lex met each other this afternoon and are going to be the best of friends!

Currently

• watching my favorite episodes of TBS 'My Boys'. They sent me an awesome Pajamagram with dvds of My Boys and The Closer. Enough to get me by until it comes back on June 12th!! watch online if you haven't seen it..
  
• googling info on "what to do when your dog gets in a scuffle with a porcupine". NOT as bad as I thought it would be- because only got a couple of quills (is that the word?!) in his paw. Rocco is in good spirits, but he'll be making a trip to the vet tomorrow to make sure everything is clean and clear.
• talking with Susie to put together a Boston Blogger party! Details coming soon :)
• planning a business trip to SF & Chicago in June! Can you tell I'm not use to traveling for work?! Yeah, I'm that girl.
• applauding Boston for setting up Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong. Sources say they met while Lance was in town running the Boston Marathon and Kate was filming her movie!!
• wondering why ANY Hogan is allowed to drive a car?!?

Happy Birthday Rocco!

Happy 4th Birthday little buddy!! I like to celebrate this day as 4 years of being responsible for raising a charming young mutt.. I toast my water bowl to you, Rocco.

The Dog Mumblerer

FINALLY, Boston saw some sun this weekend! We decided to make a playdate for the dogs along side the Charles River, by Harvard Yard (pronounced however you like). Mikey, Jenny & Neal's Boston Terrier joined Mr. Rocco for a nice hour long by the water.. and after 4 years, Rocco STILL doesn't understand that walking on a leash does not mean he should be pulling us the entire time!!

And I'm still interested to see what would've happened between the dogs and the duck had leashes not been involved! Just kidding- Rocco is a lover, not a fighter
