Oggie Doggie!

Oggie

I daresay this special little guy, Oggie, closely resembles his namesake, ‘Augie Doggie’, from the Hanna Barbera (1959-1962) cartoon series (in character at least). Both are high-spirited, intelligent pups, just wanting to make their dads happy and proud. I met Oggie and his dad, Garry, at the Southland Off Leash Park last week.

Best Buds!

What a fantastic, happy guy he is. He loves his ball and his Dad (not necessarily in that order), he is outgoing and social. You can read Oggie and Garry’s whole story over on my 100 Pets and The People They Love page.

Beautiful Bella

It is with great sadness that I must report the sudden loss of a beautiful little soul from our 100 Pets and Their People community. Dulcie, the Cookie Lady of Southland Off Leash Park lost her partner, Bella, on Friday, April 12. The vet found that Bella had an abdominal tumour that was inoperable and Dulcie made the difficult decision to have her put down. This news will affect the entire Southland Off Leash community as both Bella and Dulcie are thought of so fondly and held in such high regard. Bella will be missed by us all.

After a dog dies, her soul is released into the world around us.
Her soul is released to run in the world, run through the fields,
enjoy the earth, the wind, the rivers, the sun, the woods.
Bella, has been released.

Charlie

I daresay this handsome boy Charlie has been Tashi’s favourite pup to meet so far.

Charlie

I haven’t seen her play with any dog like this in a long time. She flirted with him, chased him, zoomed around so he’d see how speedy quick she was (obviously making her quite a catch); she just plain loved him! I can see why too, he is completely adorable, with little tufts of hair sticking out his ears and having big, beautiful brown eyes. Jump on over to my 100 Pets and Their People Page to read his story and see more photos. I know you’ll agree with me
