PAWS FOR EPILEPSY

Hi there peeps!

Check out this article ( http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3200703.shtml?cat=500#.UmrU-p3nbct ) on my bud Shadow who was adopted from the shelter and is now a trained service pup for his epileptic person Dezmond.  Thru their new group “Paws for Epilepsy” (https://www.facebook.com/pawsforepilepsytailsforacause?hc_location=stream) they are spreading the word that service animals don’t need to be pure bred pups, but that shelter or rescue pups like Shadow are also up for the challenge.  Check them out and give them a ‘Like’!

Also, check out these PAWsome  Pumpkin Cookies Mom made for me to take and share with my buddies at Day Care yesterday.  Hope your furkids enjoy them just as much as we did!  They’re perfect for a HOWL-O-WEEN party!IMG_20131024_072224
