Rising to the (Kibble) Challenge

Such a great response to the Kibble Name Photo Challenge, y’all.  I am just wondersmacked by these dogs and their handlers. So much so, that I have two things to tell you.

  1. I had the original and mildly grandiose notion to just post a few clever photos here. Click, click, done.  But was blown completely out of the water after receiving these fifty-some submissions representing more than one hundred awesome dogs. What a wonderful problem. So how do I get these out to the world without having a photo laden blog page that takes ten minutes to load?  In a flash of something I think was inspiration, I made you a photo gallery thingy. You’re welcome. I just hope it works.

    and . . .

  2. I can say with confidence, that I missed somebody or something somewhere. Simply let me know. Really. Easy peasy to fix and repost.  Just pop me a note to puppysword@gmail.com.

One more thing. You’ll note some abbreviations in use.  Let me offer up a quick little glossary to help you along as you view the photo captions.

  6. LaRue II was blessed to be nominated as a Hearing Dog Hero through the Humane Association National Hero Dog Awards for 2013. There are eight categories and wonderful dogs to vote for!

    LaRue is blessed as she is working to share information about assistance dogs (not just hearing dogs!) and hearing loss. So we opted to do a kibble vote request. And wanted to share – LaRue II is no better than other dog – but she is very blessed to represent Canine Companions for Independence and provide daily tidbits about hearing loss…priceless.
