Living on the Edge

 

Woo - look what is coming up.

A long, one lane, wooden bridge.

Keep an eye on the edge, hu-dad.

*****     *****     *****     *****     *****

Yes, we do get to go on some cool adventures and we owe it all to the fantastic rescues that guided us to our forever homes.  For our 1000th Post Contest (full details here), we wanted to give back by selecting one animal charity and giving them $50.  Three days in, and we have a lot of great organizations nominated.  Remember, this is not a vote, but the more nominations each group receives, the better their odds of being drawn as the winner at the end of next week.  The vote count as of about 9 pm (EDT) last night:

Texas Husky Rescue – 13 Nominations

Joplin Humane Society – 6

Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue – 6

Siberian Husky Rescue of Florida – 5

Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston – 4

    Wow, that is a very neat bridge. Do they have lights telling you when you can go?

    Those bridges make momma nervous so she shuts her eyes and I let her know when it is safe to open them…sometimes I wait a little longer than the end of the Bridge just to mess with her head. hahahahaha Sarge deserves the donation…if we win make it so.

    You live in the most wonderful place and have the very best adventures!!! Of course, I’m a nervous wreck in the car… so the only way I can enjoy this one lane bridge is from the photos you’ve shared here!

    And wow that was FUN! I like to think I was sitting by KissKa (for the Luke, you know…)!

    with love from the Bleu. oh yeah… and the Reufus

    Qannik looks so beautiful. I look @ him & think that is what my sibe’s brother would have looked like. When I picked my Sitka from his litter he had a brother that was all white w/2 blue eyes. Such a gorgeous dog and what a wonderful trip you must be going on for this great long weekend.
    Have a safe and fun trip.

    Have a great weekend.

  9. Patti on May 27, 2011 at 12:48 pm

    Great blog! Gorgeous dogs! After goldens, one of my favorite breeds. Which would mean I am with Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston (GRRH).

  10. Stella on May 27, 2011 at 12:36 pm

    For my second vote, I’d like to vote for

    Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary

    I have a very special spot in my heart for all Goldens.

    Very cool bridge! But it would be better if it was over snow rather than water.

    You woofed it pups, it was an excellent rescue that brought me to my forever home, too!

    My vote is for Joplin Humane Society. It is in my neck of the woods, and I know a lot of animals are suffering because of the tornado.

    Thank you for doing such a generous thing!

    One more plug for Joplin Humane Society, to help care for some of the many many pets looking for their owners after the storms there. (we nominated them yesterday, maybe after your vote count?)

      Joplin is there on the list and gaining nominations right and left.

  14. Stumpy and cyndi on May 27, 2011 at 9:01 am

    It’s so pawesome of the Thundering Herd to celebrate this way. I hadn’t voted previously,it’s just so hard to pick just one! They are all so worthy and there is so much “need” I think, at this moment, the Joplin Humane Society would be a wonderful place to send some green stuff!

    A one lane bridge should guarantee a great adventure!
    Today I will add a vote for the Joplin humane society.

  16. houndstooth on May 27, 2011 at 8:32 am

  23. Holly & Khady on May 27, 2011 at 1:19 am

    My mom would not drive over that bridge for anything! She is scared of bridges like that!

    We are going to vote for our very own Taysia Blue Siberian Husky Rescue!! We are happy to be a part of something that was sooo needed in this area!
