\"\"<\/a>Being the quintessential cat lady, I have kept this information well-guarded, but the cat is out of the bag now and I must admit I like dogs. Not only do I like dogs, I LOVE THEM. Up until a few years ago when my dear Bandit passed away, the last remaining survivor of my dog legacy, I have had a revolving door of dogs that would make your head spin.\u00a0 With the exception of my Golden Retriever, Bailey, all were rescues and my home was an open door to any canine that cared to wander in.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Meadow and Bandit. This is what photos looked like BEFORE digital cameras, Dan, and Photoshop!<\/p><\/div>\n

You can read about it in more detail in my book, but since the day I turned 18 and moved out on my own, these were the dogs in my life:\u00a0 Murphy, an Old English Sheepdog; Snoopy, an apricot colored Poodle; Bo, a mixed breed German Shepherd; Bailey, a sweet Golden Retriever; Bandit an alpha male Heinz 57 dog; Hobo, a Terrier; Meadow, a strong willed Miniature Pincher; and Lexi, a horse sized red colored Retriever.\u00a0 Very rarely did I only have one dog in my life, I typically had several dogs and cats at the same time, as well as other assorted creatures such as bunnies, hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, and frogs\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bailey was my sweet Golden Retriever and the dog love of my life. Tragically, she died at only two years of age due to cancer.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our eldest cat Jazz has grown up with several of these dogs and Zee, Zoey, and Harley also have to a much lesser extent. The kittens \u2013 Mia, Peanut, and Rolz \u2013 have no clue what a dog is, but I daresay they would not react favorably to these typically loud, smelly, and slobbery creatures!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Peanut, Mia, and Rolz want to make this clear - we can help Pedigree to feed shelter dogs, but in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS IS THIS A DOG BLOG!!! Got it?!!<\/p><\/div>\n

So, long story short, going to BlogPaws was amazing for two reasons that were not related to cats \u2013 I got to love and hug lots of dogs and I learned about an opportunity by Pedigree Brand to help feed shelter dogs. All I had to do was write a blog post by June 30th that mentioned Pedigree\u2019s commitment to helping shelter dogs and one 17-lb bag of Pedigree Dry Dog Food would be donated to a shelter in need! Wow!! How fantastic is that? I get to sit at my computer which I am already glued to 24\/7, type a few words, throw in some pictures, and I am helping a deserving dog just like that!!<\/p>\n

The campaign ends today at midnight, so if you have not put up a post of your own yet, you still have time. Please read this great post by \u201cTo Dog with Love\u201d for details<\/a>.\u00a0 Also,\u00a0YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A DOG BLOGGER<\/strong> to participate \u2013 anyone who blogs and has a love and compassion for animals can help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
