Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
Those eyes say it all!
Keep your eye on the prize my friend.
Mentioning Louisville Weimaraner Rescue again 🙂
I think Ruby’s humans have that glass see-through table just to torture her!
We are nominating our favorite Taysia Blue, as usual!
Holly & Khady
Pretty Ruby, so patient you are! I hope there’s something yummy on that plate there for you!!!
Only two more posts to go! Woooooo-hooo! We will vote for Joplin tonight!
oh no Ruby, it’s too late. woo might have to offer to do dishes!
i’d like to nominate a new charity: ARWNY- Akita Rescue of Western NY http://www.akitarescuewny.com/
Gotta help my fellow akitas… we have a tough time being placed in forevah homes & this rescue group needs help sustaining their level of need.
wag to a 1000!

Ruby is too cute with the foodables
Joplin Humane society..pls
Ruby is just protecting the table from any intruders:)
Joplin pups will be very happy with all the support. But in the end we know that no matter who wins, the help will be very much appreciated.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
The countdown has been very exciting & now it is so close! Congrats on so many great posts. I always look forward to seeing what The Herd & The Annex are doing.
My support goes to Joplin today!

Ruby, this looks like a still life in the style of the Dutch Masters (only brighter). We love the photo and its painterly quality. For that alone, you deserve a special treat…but we are biased since momma’s a painter.
Two more days! We can see the glowing edge of this milestone…Sarge’s please.
I believe The Golden Khousins would like me to paw fur those Houston Goldens and their Rescue Group –
Especially since we think Harley and Reufus J Wright might akhtually be the same pup!
Hugz&Khysses,

Ruby looks perfectly innocent to me! Australian Animal Protection Society.
Our vote is for Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston.
If great dogs like The Bleu and The Refus come from them they are OK in our book.
Hamish & Sophie
Pretty much anything that was served on that pretty plate or bowl has to be homemade yumminess… and you can’t fool Miss Ruby!
If she was gazing intently like that at me, I’d hop off the plate for her! Just saying.
with love from the Bleu
Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston

I would like to vote for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue! Thanks, herd!
Rudy, that is a pawsome picture! How could any human say “no” that those eyes, and that face? Hope it was yummy!
I nominate Joplin Humane Society.
Suka
hee hee hee she doesn’t want it to disappear on her 🙂
BAD RAP

Criminal alert! Criminal Alert!
Ruby! What’s up there?!?!? Any watermelon!?!!?
Luv,
Dave
PS: Another vote for MaPaw!
I feel like Ruby is working some kind of mind control! I’m tossing in a vote for BAD RAP…
We’ve got one of the glass tables, too, and man, they are a tease!!! You can SEE the food, but you can’t GET to the food. What is up with that?!? They also flatten out the poofy top of my head. Not super wild about that, either….
*kissey face*
-Fiona and Abby the Hippobottomus
PeeEss: We’re throwing in another vote for Paws and Stripes 🙂
I think Ruby is telepathically tell me Joplin Humane Society, so I’m going with them! Thanks for the opportunity to help them out!
Happy Trails, forever!

Ruby – you gotta be more sneaky.
Hoping for a win for Taysia Blue. we have a few new pups into rescue this last week.
Dear Hu-Grandmom,
Ruby is just trying to be helpful with the kitchen clean up duties. She doesn’t want you to have to work hard to clean up. She will leave everything sparkling clean.
Licks & Nibbles,
Kody & Nia
Charleston Animal Society
So that’s what glass tables are for! Ruby, you never cease to entertain!
We vote for Quad Cities again!
Oh my I have been voting for Texas Husky Rescue but you had me at Joplin. They need all the help they can get.
Put me down for a vote for that humane society. I have a dear friend who dealt with the aftermath of Katrina, trying to find pets’ owners, and know how hard that work is. A tornado is not a hurricane but that doesn’t matter to the people in Joplin who can’t find their pets, or are depending on the humane society to help them.
BEAUTIFUL RUBY! I love the composition of that picture! Does Ruby’s mum take the pictures on Tuesday or do you go over and take them every Tuesday?
I’m not sure me’n Ice could take watching our people eating from under that glass table top. I think it’d be most unnerving, watching them watching us, and maybe slopping some onto the table BECAUSE they were watching us watching them, and us not being able to get at it.
Ruby sure has the glass table figured out!
As the THerd zeroes in on their 1000th post, we want to make another plug for Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue and our 2- and 4-legged pals from that organization.
