Anyone else remember that poem? Ā If you do, I assure you that only the line I borrowed for the post title applies here. (I will, however, admit that it was a fine day in the middle of the night when I took this photo.)
ThreeĀ local rescue groups in the northern Virginia area (including HART and FOHA, who you may remember from such awesome dogs as Bella and Tavish) participated in a massiveĀ Pilots ‘N Paws event on Saturday. Ā The event was called the “Dog is My Copilot” Rescue Flyaway, and it helped save over 300 dogs.
As part of this flyaway event, more than one hundred dogs were brought from high-kill shelters in North Carolina to groups in northern Virginia. The dogs have now been placed in foster homes and shelters with no-kill pledges. Pretty cool, huh?
I have a special video to share with you today – it’s from the Asheville Humane Society, one of the groups in North Carolina helping to send these lucky pups on their way to northern Virginia and other destinations. (Insert obligatory tissue warning here.)
Is it raining on your face too? Ā It just so happens to be a pretty soggy day here, so perhaps everyone will just think I was outside too long.

Today, I have a duo of dogs for you… let me see your creative captions!
(As for my Game of Thrones-inspired efforts, I fully recognize they’re pretty silly. The dogs were staring at me last night waiting for food, and the rest is history…)

Lord Tavington of the House Squeaky Eggister
So, how would you caption these photos? (No Game of ThronesĀ reference required.)
Bella and Tavish were hanging out on the sofa earlier today, watching football with the hub. He snapped this photo of Bella – I guess her team was having a rough day.

I realized that I haven’t spent much time letting you get to know Tavish. So, here are a few fun facts about the newest member of the I Still Want More Puppies family:
The posts at Something Wagging This Way Comes never fail to get me thinking. This recent post is no exception: 7 Books I Wish Dog Trainers Would Write. (Head on over and check it out… I’ll wait here.) I hope the one about teaching your dog to stop shedding gets written. If I could, I’d reserve a copy now.
Since Pamela’s got the dog training books covered, I thought I’d turn my eye to another segment of the market – books about dog behavior. I’m sure we all have a few mysteries in need of solving (and after all, imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery – I hope Pamela feels sufficiently flattered today). To solve these mysteries, I’m going to the source.
