Carnival of the Dogs
Please stop by and say hi to Loki and take a minute to say a prayer for him.
Updated at 1:00 PM EST
Stories like Loki's are what the Carnival is really all about, our dogs, how we love them and about dogs like Missy who need our help. I admit, I don't really care for individuals asking for money, but when donations can be made right to a non-profit organization or directly to a Vet who is caring for the animal, I'm all for it.
Please take a peek at Missy's story, click on her picture to get there, thanks!
And a big "HI!" to a Jacqueline!
Jacqueline who looks adorable in her sweater!
This is Baba
Baba is going to be heading north this weekend to her "furever" home with her new Mom, Laura! Congrats to Baba and Laura!

ASPCA Section of the Carnival
How 'bout giving an ASPCA calendar to that special someone? Make a donation, get a calendar! You'd be making someone very happy and you'd be making quite a few tags wag too!

"YULE" LOVE IT! GINGERBREAD HOUSE EXHIBIT TO BENEFIT HOMELESS ANIMALS, NOW THROUGH SUNDAY
Planning on a visit to Central Park this weekend? Don't miss "Gingerbread Homes for Animals," an exhibition and fair at the Dana Discovery Center featuring incredible, edible sculptures created by NYC's finest pastry chefs. The event will also feature crafts, goodies, and animal-related workshops for both children and adults—including presentations by the ASPCA's own Jennifer Dragotta, who'll teach kids about pet care and how to be safe with animals.
Funds raised during the event will directly benefit The Picasso Fund, helping to support the costs of medical services for homeless animals, and Rational Animal, a group dedicated to growing public awareness of New York's at-risk animal population. For additional information on the event, please visit Gingerbread Homes For Animals

I think you have a tag in the link that makes it un-clickable. :)
