Here he is! Mr. Regal Regis…the handsomest of handsome Senior Doberboys in Fort Doberdale!
Regis is Mr. Third Day of Christmas, and to celebrate, shortly after this picture was taken, he ran off with his hat…in his mouth, not on his head. He’s such a prankster.
Baby is uncharacteristically perky in this picture, but it’s too cute not to be the official picture for the 2nd day of Dober Christmas.
Baby’s a true DoberDiva. She can turn on any of her personalities whenever she chooses. Today she wishes you a happy holiday. (Today…that may not be the case tomorrow.)
Now let’s see some of the other faces of Baby.
Here’s the Raspberry-Giving Baby.
Here’s the Smug-Faced Baby.
The “I’ll do it one more time, but you will know I am not happy doing it” Baby.
The Unreachable Baby.
The SuperStar Baby.
She’s ready for her close-up, Mr. DeMille.
I just left the e-mail below in Sirius Radio’s customer service department on-line. I’m very irritated that I’ve recorded the same message twice in two different months, yet they have thusfar refused to air it. They have played other messages ad nausem. No other message includes a morsel of pets in their wishes, so I am going to have to believe that my message is offensive to the Sirius Radio Channel 2 staff because it includes pets and the people who rescue them.
I will always give credit to Martha Stewart, who has a variety of pet shows that reach out to all pet owners Monday-Friday from 8 pm to 9 pm. Her channel is 112. There is also a pet psychic on Tuesdays on the Sirius All Stars channel, 102. But that seems to be where the buck stops, pet lovers.
Below is my inquiry to the Sirius Radio (Starlite) Channel 2 powers that be.
“On Channel 2, Starlite, you invite people to record a message of holiday greetings. I have recorded the message below twice. Once in November and once in December, yet you never play it. I listen to this channel all the time sinice it started playing festive music, and wonder if Sirius is THIS anti-pet and anti-rescue to prevent my holiday greeting from being played. We in rescue work hard and extending a greeting on-air would be a wonderful thing. I hear so many greetings replayed abundantly. What is stopping this one from going on-air? I am posting my question on my blog, and will also post your response.
Thank you for your consideration. Here is the message I recorded twice: ‘This is Helen of the Florida Dobermann Pinscher Rescue Ring wishing everyone who works hard all year rescuing and taking care of abandonned pets Happy Holidays. And God bless all our homeless pets.'”
On the first day of Christmas, DoberDiva Leissl wore a red, red wreath.
And pulled it off spectacularly! How many of us could look this stunning with a red, red wreath on our heads?
She had a few other beautiful photos from another photo shoot she wants to share. She’s such a German Babe, Leissl is.
Here she is being a softer German Babe.
Raven! What are you doing here?!
Didn’t you say, “Sit, Raven, sit?”
If she said that, you are supposed to sit like this, puppy brains!
After I got home this evening, I noticed certain members of the Fort Doberdale Squirrel Posse were gathered around the pine tree.
When I got over there, I saw a blue jay had gotten himself caught in the plastic mesh I have on the ground so the dogs won’t dig.
Blue jays are aggressive for bird brains, and this one was pecking Bouchard’s nose as Bouch tried to figure out what to do with it. Annie was on the other side of the fencing, which was this fellow’s saving grace, as Annie is the terminator of wildlife.
I called all dogs into the house, and tried to unmesh the bird. Knowing he was a peckerhead, and my immediate movement of the mesh didn’t loosen its hold of the bird, I went inside to get scissors. When I returned, I moved the mesh around to figure out how to trim it so the bird would not peck me.
At that point, the bird decided to help me out a little, and he pushed himself out, and jumped out of his bondage and onto the fence, peeping his freedom song all the way. He said “thank you,” and was on his way…hopefully with a lesson learned under his wing. I have no idea what he was doing to get himself trapped like that in the first place, but he is one lucky bird, and should be glad it’s the FDSP and not Bird Posse!
Lilian’s update tonight is more promising than last night. She has started to eat a little…
and guard her toys.
She is taking Flagyl as of tonight due to her sudden and probably much needed onset of diarrhea to purge whatever she’s harboring, and also Zantac for tummy upset. She had chicken breast and a few pieces of banana. She loves cold bananas. Every time I bring them out of the fridge to divy up, that is Lilith’s signal to sit pretty. I cannot resist but to give her a piece of the fruit for her efforts. Lilian is a little Diva angel in her own right, and we will all be happy as her recuperation continues and she gets back to her Doberpeachy self.
