If there is a best Good Boy award, this dog would certainly be one of the finalists. Despite being a good dog, he was abandoned in the square and fortunately adopted by local merchants.
Well? Did you put them under his pillow, and did the Kittentooth Fairy leave him anything?
Also: They grow up so soon (just kidding—they’re wonderful at all ages )
the tooth fairy is busted paying the going rate on the kid’s teeth.
Sometimes I tell him he should stop growing. His paws just keep getting bigger and those shoulders!
Alas, I think we’ve adopted another bigg’un. He isn’t even quite 6 months yet.

Backyard bun edition!
Boss wanted scritches today.
Unlike with dogs, this is a rabbit’s dominance display. That it’s also adorbs just gets him extra attention.

A no-kill animal shelter charity was invited to start an inmate dog training program at the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility last year—and now joy and fulfillment are being created on both sides of the leash.
The ongoing program has helped the inmates to develop compassion and to comply with rules. Their task is to socialize the dogs and teach basic obedience that will get the fur-babies adopted more easily.
Eight inmates at the Las Cruces prison are now caring for 4 dogs in the program. The inmates have become so devoted to their mission that they held a fundraiser to help pay for program’s costs.
…
The inmate learns grooming, dog first aid, and how to potty train, taught by the professional trainer in one to two sessions per week. $350 will pay for 2 weeks of the trainer’s visits.
During the week, inmates work with the dogs to teach these skills, while living together 24 hours a day. The dogs are taken outside 4 times each day to pee, play, and work on commands.
…
“Dogs that were once castaways are being loved and cared for by individuals in a place where love and care are in short supply.”
“The dogs are emerging from cocoons of fear and loneliness. Inmates are pushing past mental and emotional barriers so they can become more effective at being a positive influence.”
As for the charity, the positive impact did become a win-win for all: Every pup but one that has graduated from the program has been quickly adopted.
Look at her, in her little tux!
The Buck is curious about the weird yard work noises the neighbors are making.
Just had to share that fuffy white tail!

I have to assume he’d know all the best updrafts!

Vultures are cool, it’s a shame people treat them like pests
