Nina is a BEAUTY! She's gorgeous. My Maggie is half rottie and that rottie shines through from her for sure.  Love rotties!   bguitar

Thanks Dawn.  We think her mix is Rottie / Chow, but sometimes I think she is more like Chow / Coonhound (because she is always sniffing everything) so I call her a Chow-hound 

I thought I would introduce my dog Nina.  She is also my avatar.  She is 11 years old and we adopted her as a puppy from Lollypop Farm where I work.  You can read more about her on my blog, Bird Brains & Dog Tales.  She posted a nice bio of herself there (with a little help) 



I would also like to introduce my current office cat, Marie.  She is available for adoption at Lollypop Farm in Fairport, NY.  For the out of towners reading this post, Lollypop Farm is the local Humane Society.  This weekend we are having special pricing on all cats and kittens to help alleviate the flood of them that always happens this time of year.  Adult cats 1 year and older are FREE!!!   



Sorry for the plug, but it gets really crowded in the shelter with all the cats during the summer months.  If anyone is in the Rochester area and has been thinking of adding a cat to their home now is the time.  I am sure Shaky will be beating a hasty path there as soon as he reads this!

On Saturday, August 1, 2009 I woke up to find our resident deer twins had stopped by for a visit. They hung out for quite a while grazing on the brush around the edge of our yard. They tried to rest at times but you can see by the video included with my blog post about them that the bugs were relentless and did not allow much rest. It is always a gift to see these beautiful creatures and I can't wait for their next visit.  You can visit my blog - Bird Brains & Dog Tales to see the whole story with pictures and videos.
