It’s my way of helping, i am not emotionally strong enough to deal with what shelters and rescue workers etc see and deal with on a daily bases so this is my way of helping.

And what i do best is giving you a way to help too, in a fun and unique way (to be announced soon) in the meantime That’s My Dog! has set up a Paws For Charity Fund in which a percentage of everything we do goes into that fund.

That fund will then offer financial assistance to any properly licensed non profit companion animal group with a focus on rescuing and sheltering dogs in need.

Soon we will be announcing our secret fundraising project and you and your dog can be involved so stay tuned!

Watch this spot!

Where are you going? …

And to make this story even more uncanny his twins name is Maximus! so we have Maximus and Ceasar, twin dogs living in the same area. Hopefully Maximus’s mum will bring him in for a photoshoot and i’ll get one of them together, i’ll have to get Ceas on the doggy treadmill to tone up …

Do me a favor and get on over to Kirk’s website at www.dogsongs.net and purchase the CD for yourself, you can download it here and be enjoying his music in no time, make sure you watch the “Dog Beach Boogie” video too.

It might just give him the inspiration to get Dog Songs 2 released!  I’ve asked for a special request “I’m and Aussie Dog”

I’ve always been a huge dog lover from a very early age and wanted to do this for a long time,  however i didn’t know it would totally change my business, but it has. It’s hard to let go off Brag! but i know this is my calling.

I will still throw in the human subject every now and again, especially lil newborns, those cheeky toddlers and the dog lovers, but for the majority of my work it will now be for the love of dogs!  Ok and a few Alley Cats and other furry friends but not scaly friends (Note: furry not scaly)

So the new name and look is above, more coming soon and super exciting offers and promotions, BragTails is now officially That’s My Dog!

oh and for our Brag! lovers we have lots of exciting stuff happening for the future of Brag! also so stay tuned

Or my models are turning into Diva’s

Stay tuned next weeks bloopers are the nose lickers…

Go to our special sponsorship fundraising page  and give anything you can, every dollar helps and we are so grateful for you helping us raise funds for a cause we love.

Lysh and I  have been huge supporters of the RSPCA for many many years and a few years ago Lysh even volunteered at the RSPCA in Brisbane, she used to catch two trains for over an hr and then walk to the shelter, work all day and then do the trip back home. But she loved it, she loved giving those dogs and cats some love in their lives, she wanted to bring them all home too:)

This is one of the kindest things you may ever see. It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US Postal Service.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.  She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.  I told her that I thought we could so she  dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog?  She died

yesterday and is with you in  heaven.  I miss her very much.  I am happy that you

let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her.  She likes to play with balls and to swim.

I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is

my dog.

I really miss her.

Love,  Meredith

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven.  We put our return address on it.  Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.  A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.  I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, ‘To Meredith’ in an unfamiliar hand.  Meredith opened it.  Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, ‘When a Pet Dies.’Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope.  On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help.  I recognized Abbey right away.

Abbey isn’t sick anymore.  Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.  Abbey loved being

your dog.  Since we don’t need our bodies in heaven, I don’t have any pockets to keep your picture in, so

I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by…

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me.

What a wonderful mother you have.  I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I’m easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

Love,

God
