FOHA: Forty years of helping animals

Blog the ChangeFor this round of Blog the Change for Animals, I wanted to highlight an organization that has been helping animals since before I was a twinkle in my parents’ eyes.

Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) in northern Virginia has been serving the DC area since 1973. Last year, FOHA gave me a wonderful place to volunteer and a new pup in the form of Tavish. This year, FOHA celebrates its 40th anniversary. Continue reading

Meet the happiest dog in the world

Yesterday, I met Tavish’s doppleganger. (By “met”, I obviously mean that I read this article on the Interwebs. Close enough, right?)

Have you ever heard of a Quokka? The Quokka is an Australian mammal that’s roughly the size of a domestic cat (which also makes it roughly the size of Tavish).

Seriously, though… the resemblance is uncanny.

If it was anyone but Santa, they’d get a restraining order…

Happy Christmas Eve! Bella and Tavish are trying to be extra good in hopes of staying on (or earning a last-minute spot on) Santa’s Nice List.

One eye on the guy making breakfast...

Santa's always watching? I did not agree to that.

Sleepy Tavish is sleepy.

It's a little creepy that he sees us when we're sleeping, right?

I don’t think this counts as snuggling

This is not exactly what I had in mind when I asked them to snuggle.

Butt to butt they faced each other…
