Tanner “Writes” to Send Christmas Tidings

December 15th, 2011 by Cedar Valley Humane Society

Hi! Well, Mom is writing Christmas cards and notes so I asked if I could write you. She is letting me as long as I don’t eat the pen again. She had trouble getting all the ink out of me and the carpet before. Oops.

Let’s see. I have a big yard to run in, and I do. My food dish is never empty. That might be why I weigh 20 pounds. (I did get the ham bone at Thanksgiving.) My water dish is always full and changed three Continue Reading »

From the Diary of Polly A-Z

November 8th, 2011 by Cedar Valley Humane Society

Polly relaxes with her Mom and DadMornings start off waking up with Dad and going for a walk…the big light in the sky is usually just coming up. Then Dad feeds me, and I see him off to work. After that I sneak back upstairs and snuggle with Mom for an hour or so.

When we get up again, Mom takes me on a run. We LOVE to run together, but Mom is a little slow. Then Mom eats and works a little, while I lay on the couch. Then Mom calls me, and we go Continue Reading »

Jinny (now Jill) is a Perfect Match!

August 26th, 2011 by Cedar Valley Humane Society

JillWe adopted Jill in January, 2011, when she was just eight weeks old. Both Jim and I have had dogs we have loved before, but neither of us had any idea we could be so in love with this one. Jill is a Jack Russell Terrier, and this breed needs a special type of owner and does much better if it has room to get lots of exercise. We have put in an invisible fence, so Jill has over an acre in the woods to enjoy.

If there is one thing I would Continue Reading »

Bear Happily Romps in his Playground

July 2nd, 2011 by Cedar Valley Humane Society

BearBear has been a new friend of the family for almost three weeks and he is amazing! He is sociable, but not too needy! I feel so lucky to have him!

Our yard is fenced, and it has become his playground. He loves to run and chase his orange ball and bark at the nearby horses. He is so happy!
