Sammy The Painting Dog

Lisa Hoefinger — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:49:25 +0000

Sammy is a very talented boy, he can paint, and his paintings have sold for $1,700. That’s a lot of dog biscuits. The best thing about this talented pup is he’s part of Shore Service Dogs. They are a wonderful organization that train service dogs and use rescues dogs whenever they can, giving them a second chance at life.

To help raise money for Shore Service Dogs some of the pups are trained to paint. Don’t worry, everything they use is non-toxic and the dogs seem to really enjoy it. Watch Sammy in action and you’ll see what I mean.

Good Day Atlanta Xtra Appearance

Horst Hoefinger — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:15:02 +0000

On Thursday I made my first TV appearance on Good Day Atlanta Xtra, our local Fox 5 station. Bo was not able to come so I brought, the yet to be mentioned, Kensy. We got him not long ago and with all that has been going on haven’t formally introduced him.

How we got him is actually a funny story, it involves one visiting sister-in-law and PetSmart. Lisa and her sister, Marcy, went to go grab some dog food, a daily errand at our house. The only problem, it was dog adoption day, never a good idea. Before Lisa knew what was happening her sister had jumped out of the not yet parked car and found us a new dog.

We had actually been thinking of adopting a playmate for Logan, since Bo can’t play because of his age and Copper never really did. Long story shorter….they never made it into PetSmart to get what they went for but our family did grow by one fuzzy member.

We had our first book signing on Saturday, October 17th, it went great. We had 37 books and sold out! I want to give a special shout-out to Bella’s dad Alan who drove about an hour to come see us. I also want to thank everyone again for all the support we’ve been receiving, for helping spread the word about Bo’s book. If everyone keeps passing on Bo’s info I know his adorable mug will be in front of bookstores in no time.

‘Monster’ Doberman Saves Family From Fire

Horst Hoefinger — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:32:33 +0000

The fire at a Beltsville, MD home started on Tuesday morning while the Aquilar family were sleeping. Their 6-year-old Doberman, Monster, was outside when the fire broke out and started barking uncontrollably and pouncing on a sliding glass door waking the family up.

The house was equipped with smoke alarms but Monster’s barking woke them up before the first one went off, giving them extra time to get out safely.

Here’s a report from myfoxdc.com.

Way to go Monster, you are our dog hero of the day.
