Before we reached the door to go outside, Ranger gently jumped up to me and gave me a big ol kiss on the face. At that point, I knew I would love this dog. We went straight to the run area. Ranger is super friendly and playful. His run is much like a Wolf's - very graceful. On our walk he was in tune with me and his surroundings. Rejected my treats, but still I will say Ranger is quite the awesome dog.</em><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4SHZ27m9tLHEByVF-Zg2PZDr7B2dJCZQmz8OFYm0exZyhyphenhyphen0RTSlFpP9xooJ95_wDOFDxuQ6DwRKtjw_DiIDL0XuFl5G02ywqJW9eMXlSHA0rSSW0_z0eHQYDaTHmeWdwHmsSejIokzTc/s1600-h/ranger2.jpg"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329580454514832482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhXGXYGl9vGwfbYaz7-VVkaWaVMOGGPUNVHCOMESu4XU_iUMV9iNHazTpdmHWb1bD355rIVxwlxvT2j7uUnU0VZnDAlEVL4MzNKd_eZyOs2xG9m4h8yiIQTXCZKy8PTbw4vSgIUfcac6U/s320/ranger2.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3ThWVfh7WlUK_6Ee22Wj2riV34FLpYb_3iBmXAWZnXngVhNqDroduy9JEnhnC9eFto6DuH0scs6wGozIWvMiQHDJGR_1xcWca1pLXKJl-jkx-Lu0nb_rcWrBK45fJg_xHOGSLBbETiQ/s1600-h/ranger1.jpg"></a></div></div>Katie Stensberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17028153339133806442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435302958989569036.post-9265627818157805192009-04-22T21:49:00.000-07:002009-04-22T22:25:17.501-07:00R N R<div>When you haven't been feeling the best, nothing helps better than a McDonald's ice cream cone and long naps.

A red lantern is awarded to the last musher to finish. The longest time for a Red Lantern was 32 days, 15 hours, nine minutes and one second by John Schultz in 1973.

Now that Alfie is a bit older, he can go outside for his walks - yeah! So everything was fun and games when we were outside. A leaf that would blow across our path was pretty much the greatest thing for Alfie. And I never did realize how much litter there is until Alfie pointed it out by picking up each piece. I am beginning to fall for this pup.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCka7yBUbN1gD1bK59qPt5bD8XXk8hWTHOOBlaw7696HQpW0w1oacvUe9UbA-55KMU2D9UlFQCF0VCfTLpCSu5ng6s19T7lJlf2QWi6OCtlyWm1phMp8LcYS_UM8a8mfSDHF0bE_lXs8/s1600-h/alfie3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312830268541376850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCka7yBUbN1gD1bK59qPt5bD8XXk8hWTHOOBlaw7696HQpW0w1oacvUe9UbA-55KMU2D9UlFQCF0VCfTLpCSu5ng6s19T7lJlf2QWi6OCtlyWm1phMp8LcYS_UM8a8mfSDHF0bE_lXs8/s320/alfie3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRGbrI4LDpvuVPzs7wOtcd74thRuNxoccjP9y6T8T-G6EADzjhOq8gXyfGlQx1h-RbM71ohym1JcO43sOGEK6qF5szgUEAk2lQK7fEaR9GkPEBANp7LQfeVurG_QESPH1T7rtwRWHt3c/s1600-h/alfie1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312830263633554722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRGbrI4LDpvuVPzs7wOtcd74thRuNxoccjP9y6T8T-G6EADzjhOq8gXyfGlQx1h-RbM71ohym1JcO43sOGEK6qF5szgUEAk2lQK7fEaR9GkPEBANp7LQfeVurG_QESPH1T7rtwRWHt3c/s320/alfie1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em></em></div><br /><br /><div><em>A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker.

It is the principle of what happened rather than the exact details.</div><div><br /></div><div>Violet, a puppy mill survivor dog, was brought into <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">EBHS</span> back in November. With time she shelled out into a happy, trusting dog. Violet was eventually adopted out to a seemingly sane new home until it was recently discovered that she had endured some severe abuse - robbed again. Thankfully, Violet was brought back into <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">EBHS</span> and is now being cared for by a loving responsible family. </div><div><br /></div><div>Underneath all the feelings I have towards this situation, is confusion. Simple confusion. So if anyone is able explain to me why people act like they do, I would love to hear from you. At this point, my only answer is that abusers must wake up each morning, yawn, stretch, look themselves in the mirror while combing through their greasy hair and confidently say to themselves, "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">I am going to fuck shit up today. I am going to fuck shit up real good."</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Until I have more of an explanation I can only hope. Hope that people will begin to learn more from their dogs rather than beat them down. Dogs have a lot to teach us. I promise. </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPKwJmFC7V8Oa12JsAgXqsvwLIqmZtPd7JrSXz-Lj56Z257FoQY-_ad3m-fpnBogWi7qYrSUZuRLxd2BUqBhZ6nh2Dd4hyphenhyphen6RuCp2FFRoBMlucaAlDSHWSz6BrvPRQlNl48kIrjF_cLnj4/s320/violet2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311323421271241778" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Katie Stensberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17028153339133806442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435302958989569036.post-40308802149563997442009-03-01T15:08:00.000-08:002009-03-01T15:15:25.272-08:00as it is<div align="center">~keeping thoughts to myself this week~<br /></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308360784363570610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-yBWr_-WVJpGpR4klg4cBXQ8RT7dWJLvPWhXCJHT0E3gb9eww_vWobh8l1TO1r9DuUtsHydUQiPnF1ibwCDFnqK_t8BMHrZtkNihet2__4MANhofuQ9OwQGWTZZV0RTA9WUKGt82VkLo/s320/nfl.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><div></div>Katie Stensberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17028153339133806442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435302958989569036.post-82607287018832502602009-02-25T19:08:00.000-08:002009-02-25T21:20:43.188-08:00Ruby NewtonVibrant.

Many of the models were at one time cared for at EBHS. When speaking with one of the artists, Jennifer commented, "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Do you recognize her? That's Georgia."</span> Amazing - there was Georgia. To think, as these animals patiently waited for a family to meet them at EBHS, they were being beautifully portrayed on canvas. </div><br /><div>Not only do I love these paintings for their unique artistry - but Ruby Newton artwork is truly affordable and part of the proceeds go directly to EBHS. Who can argue with that? </div><br /><div>Disclaimer: I was in no way bribed to write this.
