Smokey’s due date is getting closer.  (If you are new to reading this blog, Smokey is Thunder’s daughter.)  We are just so excited waiting for the puppies.  Of course we are excited because we get to sit back and enjoy while Smokey and her breeders do the work. :lol:

These pictures were taken last weekend and she already looks like she is ready to go.  :)

These Pups Are Already Wearing Me Out

A Little Help For Our Friends

Posted in General/Misc, Rescue by

Today, the 2 brown dawgs would like to share their blog.

It has been a week since the earthquake and tsunami changed Japan forever. 

The people of Japan have endured so much suffering and so have their pets.

We read a good news story about two dogs who were left tied in a yard as the tsunami raced toward their home and their owners had to flee leaving them behind.  Miraculously they survived and they were reunited with their owners.

Two Dogs Defy the Wave

Then we read the story and saw the video of a dog protecting his injured canine companion.  Both dogs have now been rescued, the injured dog is in an animal clinic and the other is safe in a shelter.  Time will tell if they are reunited with their owners.

Dog In Japan Stays By the Side Of Its Ailing Friend In The Rubble

We also read about the search and rescue dogs who tirelessly search for survivors among the rubble.  Many of these dogs are rescues themselves. 

They are the real heroes of the canine world.

Canine Heroes: US Dogs Search for Survivors in Japan Devastation

If you would like to help these dogs and others in Japan, the AKC CAR Canine Support & Relief Fund is  accepting donations for disaster relief in Japan.

From the AKC Website:

In light of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, many fanciers and concerned dog owners have asked us how they can help the companion animal victims of these tragedies.

If you are interested in offering your assistance, we encourage contributions to our AKC Companion Animal Recovery Canine Support and Relief Fund. Started in the wake of 9/11, the fund has donated more than $3 million to search and rescue teams and for companion animal relief during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.

Funds will be donated to appropriate organizations in support of search and rescue dogs’ efforts to find survivors and to aid in disaster relief for Japan’s displaced companion animals.

Click here to make a donation and please note that it is on behalf of “Japan.”

Thank you for keeping the Japanese people and their pets in your thoughts.

I am sure any little bit will help. 

Hug your dawgs and count your blessings because you just never know.

Stanley--Photo from SoCal Surf Dogs as seen on YouTube

The last post of the year isn’t about the 2 brown dawgs.  It is about a rescued chesapeake bay retriever that is going to be on the  Natural Balance float in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day.  Stanley had a rough start in life, but  has been trained by his owner to be a dock jumping dog and to ride a wave board.  If you happen to catch the parade, keep an eye out for Stanley he sounds like one great dog!

Read his story:

Of course the 2 brown dawgs wouldn’t miss a chance to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
