The Chocolate Dog Blog

Week past, week ahead

By cuzzy | May 12, 2008

This week is going to be a fun one for Bosco so before I get to telling you why I wanted to take a look back at a week that was on the Chocolate Dog Blog.

May 5 - There is a new TV show coming out this summer that will mix reality TV with dogs. I guess they networks have run out of fresh ideas for people. Will you watch?

May 6 - A pair of pit bull-type dogs were put in quarantine after a Yarmouth man was savagely attacked Saturday. Also did you meet two of Bosco’s newest friends? Mandy and Maverick.

May 7 - A facebook dog group in Halifax is advertising a meet up at Point Pleasant Park on May 25th. I took some funny pictures of The Farm spending their lazy afternoon in the attic.

A new book is on the market and the CDB is trying to help to get the word out. It is called Crash and part of the proceeeds go to a dog rescue.

May 8 - We posted a bunch of pictures of Bosco’s new brother Dude. He is one giant and cute dog. A must see if you like the English Mastiff.

May 10 - Another new friend of Bosco’s was featured. Fairfax.

Now that the we have caught you up on last week, here is the fun in store for Bosco this week.

My sister (owner of Dude) is coming to Halifax for a visit. She will be here for 5 days and I am sure Bosco will be glued to her for most of them. Someone new to follow around and cuddle with. He loves guests and basically is the house mascot.

Hopefully the weather is nice and we can show my sister all of Bosco’s favourite places to go in town. There will be a lot of pictures I can promise you that.

Here are a few shots of the two together when Bosco was a puppy.

Have a super Monday everyone.

Bosco’s brother Dude

By cuzzy | May 8, 2008

Okay so Dude is not Bosco’s brother by blood or breed but they are related. I introduced you to my sister’s dog Dude a few weeks ago and wanted to share some updated photos of how big he is now.

It would be a lot of fun if Bosco and Dude could rumble because I think they would get a long great. My sister is visiting (Dudeless) next week so I am sure I will hear a lot more about the gentle giant.

Site news - New book

By cuzzy | May 7, 2008

Any cause that is looking to help out dogs is one that we love and want to share with all of you.

Recently I got an email letting us know about a new book that you should all check out.

It is a children’s picture book about a golden retriever and the best part is that the author is donating half of the royalties to a golden retriever rescue organization.

The book is called Crash and you can take a look at it here.

Once again the author is going to donate 50% of the royalties to the Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary.

There is a ad for the book in the top left of the blog if you want to see the cover.

This is a great cause and I am sure a very entertaining book for your kids.

Pets in the attic

By cuzzy | May 7, 2008

We are lucky to have a pretty spacious attic in our house. We don’t use it that much because it is too costly to keep the heat on up there and in the summer it is way too hot to use.

But right now it seems to be the perfect spot for The Farm to spend their lazy afternoons. We just keep the door open and they use it at their leisure.
