I am hoping it can be a platform for Stewie to share the plight of shelter dogs ... to encourge folks to become "pet owners" and to educate the potential people that pups of any age can be fun!... heck, they can be pure joy!
But Stewie also wants to say... please, educate yourself as to all pet-ownership entails before you choose... so we all have the best chance at a fabulous,"furrever" match!Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797856613485362428noreply@blogger.comBlogger6125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985695312789415260.post-58673967874023058252009-09-27T18:47:00.000-07:002009-09-27T18:47:52.644-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SsAVx4YO8rI/AAAAAAABTFQ/QeM8ysvI1MA/s1600-h/new+flea+mkt+group1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SsAVx4YO8rI/AAAAAAABTFQ/QeM8ysvI1MA/s400/new+flea+mkt+group1.jpg" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797856613485362428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985695312789415260.post-39527788257666365192009-09-05T09:35:00.000-07:002009-09-05T09:53:04.616-07:00A sad clip<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz26nR2rt9JppLE-967-aClKJPbXKdSndFlt1-eitAjUtlbg-kfi5xnC4JPttls-COdIr8XukIroXeIvGyyDQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797856613485362428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985695312789415260.post-9492333003984121982009-08-24T17:35:00.000-07:002009-08-24T18:10:06.933-07:00The Secret is Out..

(and mine to him) ;) He acts like a nut... not sure why...maybe he's testing us?? In any case, it's only an act (as you'll see from the video posted of us walking him (above)<br /><br />It was <em><strong>quite a unique </strong></em>greeting. I think Stewie has things a little mixed up... or perhaps he's making sure the right folks are gonna get him!? All I do now for sure is that he longs to be loved. <br /> He is eager to please and on the submissive side. He simply needs <em><strong>Consistency and a Firm Voice of Authority</strong></em>... not<em> tyranny and anger </em>to be sure... <br /><br />...I fear that he would be ruined by that.<br /><br /> He wants to be loved and appreciated as surely as he shows his appreciation for all that is done for him! <br /><br />He is a big sweet marshmallow!<br /><br />He got on well with our other pets.<br /> We have a<em> cat </em>and my <em>10 y/o terrier mix</em>. Hobbes--(the dog) just ignored him and Katy Von(Kitty) kept her distance, though she was beginning to warm up to him after a few days...<br />:)<br /> All in all, Stewie is a great potential pal for the right folks who desire a beautiful animal who'se already housebroken, partially trained, decent on a lead, polite... not too rambunctious... but liking to play,...<br /><br /> He's a formidable protector on walks!<br /><br />He's male a super watchdog for the kiddos as well!<br /><br />Not to mention, he is a<br />He is a really sharp cookie!... and a gentle soul.<br /><br /> He is a great find for the right ozzies! He needs poeple who can commit to him... and keep in in stock of a lot of chewie toys!Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797856613485362428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985695312789415260.post-56315664235918772292009-08-24T14:39:00.000-07:002009-08-24T14:57:17.592-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SpMMg8oJSnI/AAAAAAABPyo/04RPMAkxhEQ/s1600-h/100_3043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373652540552989298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SpMMg8oJSnI/AAAAAAABPyo/04RPMAkxhEQ/s400/100_3043.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong>Stewart Big </strong></div><br /><div><strong>in a hurry...</strong></div><br /><div>"Ooops, gotta go!"<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SpMJU_DDJ3I/AAAAAAABPyY/Nz39D5QdHP4/s1600-h/100_3019.JPG"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373649036509390706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eD5C0WX3iBc/SpMJU_DDJ3I/AAAAAAABPyY/Nz39D5QdHP4/s400/100_3019.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> <strong>Stewie /AKA Skye</strong> making himself at home on a basement couch..

We were so sad to have to let him go. Our mistake was to bring him home during a stressful time, and not being prepared for the committment a big dog brings entails. He is <strong>such an excellent dog</strong>... he walked so well with the leash, he wasn't aggressive with the other pets... he was just perfect. We were the trouble. Stewie deserves a<em> home with a heart to match his own</em>... BIG! </p>Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15797856613485362428noreply@blogger.com0
