Pet Pawfection

As the last leaves fall to the ground and into the leaf collectors (what my human papa refers to as gutters), it is time to snuggle up with the ones you hold most dear to celebrate Thanksgiving and all of the other wonderful holidays to come. I love this time of year: the smell of leaves, winter in the air, Thanksgiving dinner, baked goods and an endless variety of treats that make me slobber so much that my human mama has to wipe my little jowls. And this is just the beginning! Christmas, Hanukkah and other wonderful holidays will be upon us soon. I can already smell the Christmas trees and see the amazing, sparkly lights inside and out that will decorate my territory. And there will be so many more treats for my eyes, nose and ears to digest. I think I'm going to howl!

I have an amazing home with many warm laps to occupy and undoubtedly a few too many tasty treats (as my lady veterinarian will tell you). Some of my fur brothers and sisters are not so fortunate because they have not found a furever home yet. Many of them have had a rough life and just want someone to love. All of them have a unique story to tell and personalities that will light up any room. Dear humans, if you have been considering a new furry friend, this is the best time of year to follow through.

You won't actually find a pet. You will find a dear friend who has been waiting for this moment all along...

Sylvia is a play about a man, his wife and the street-smart lab/poodle mix that "promptly becomes a bone of contention between them... testing their marriage to hilarious and touching effect." Much of the humor comes from the human actress that stars in the role of Sylvia the dog to great effect (as seen in the above video). It only makes sense that some of our Seattle fur brothers and sisters got to see the show.

This is the perfect show about dogs. Everybody loves the show 'Sylvia,' and Seattle is such a dog city that we just thought, how can we not take this valuable piece of theater about dogs and let our Seattle pet owners come see it? So it's just fun. [Katie Jackman, Seattle Rep Spokeswoman]

The lucky pups met up in the lobby to greet, mingle and sniff around before the show...

Howard Stern, a pet photographer? Believe it or not, the 2012 Animal League Calendar features his photos of Beth Stern with numerous animal friends: Carson, Cooper, Lucy, Griffin, Fiona, Nemo, Liza, Suzi, Twister, Miley, Magdelena, Hope, Bianca, Walter, Apple and Leon Bear.

Each year, the Animal League rescues, nurtures and adopts nearly 20,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens into permanent and happy homes, and to commemorate each month of 2012, Beth and Howard Stern have generously donated their time and love in support of creating a one-of-a kind calendar showcasing the precious, healthy canines and felines that can be found in local shelters.
