    Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going

    June 5, 2023 /

    Where we’ve been… My lack of posting over the last few years is embarrassing. There has been a lot that I wanted to share, but I let the dramas of life get in my way.  Illness in my family and myself, mental and physical exhaustion from care-giving, and dealing with the deaths of two family members has been mentally draining. Added to those stresses, was the self-doubt, the fear of failure, or doing this blogging thing “wrong.” Reading article after article of how-to’s, must-do’s, and “rules for success,” got overwhelming.  So much so that I let it stop me from doing what I enjoy. I came across this quote on…

    Our Pet Friendly Pumpkin Patch Adventure

    October 27, 2016 /

    Delia and Chewy joined their friends on a visit to Meert Tree Farm, a pet friendly pumpkin patch and corn maze just outside of St. Louis. Delia loves it there. She had her first pumpkin patch and corn maze adventure there a few years ago. This year, Chewy joined her for his first time. They were eager to pick out a pumpkin AND to earn their Corn Maze and Hay Ride badges for PupScouts! We were happy that our friends could join us. Delia and Chewy adore them and they were the perfect partners for a day of fun in the pumpkin patch. First, a hayride… We took a hayride…

    Hello, my friends! It’s me, Delia writing today. I’m happy to announce that I am the proud new PupScouts Troop 314 leader. We are the first troop in the St. Louis, Mo. area! What is PupScouts? If you haven’t heard of PupScouts, it is like the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for human kids, but PupScouts is for us pups! How cool is that!? We get to meet new friends, spend fun time with our pawrents, earn cool badges and help other pups and people in our communities. My mom has been slow getting things started. You know how human “stuff” can get in the way sometimes. I’m so excited…

    Chewy Caught the Ball!

    July 1, 2015 /

    We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and do what Delia loves best….fetch! Except today, Chewy was determined to get the ball before Delia… …and he’s off! He caught the ball!! He usually can’t keep up with her, but this time, they ran together! He decided to take it to the deck and chew on it for a bit. Delia: “You gonna let go of that ball, Chewy?” Chewy: “No, I think I’m gonna keep it.”

    A few weeks ago we attended the 2015 BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN. This was my second BlogPaws conference, but Delia and Chewy’s first. Flat Delia went to the 2013 conference, but it was much more fun with the real Delia! This trip was Delia’s and Chewy’s first long road trip and hotel stay. They did great! They mastered the elevators and knew how to find our room by the first night. Our room had a balcony and they enjoyed watching all of the other pets and bloggers arrive. I had originally planned on taking Delia to the educational sessions with me, but she was a little too excited by…

Chewy was a regular at the doggie daycare/pet hotel where I work, and since I had been thinking of adopting a friend for Delia, my awesome bosses told me he was looking for a new home. Chewy loves doggie daycare! He is the perfect addition to our family! He is the best puppy brother Delia could ever want. She wasn’t thrilled about this new little brother at first, but she is warming up to him. Delia loves to be chased, and Chewy loves to give chase, so they…

Posted @withregram • @bailing_out_benji Today is Posted @withregram • @bailing_out_benji Today is Puppy Mill Awareness Day! 

Can you help us spread the word about this cruel industry by telling at least one person about puppy mills? 

Here are a few quick facts: 

- 75% of the puppy mills in the United States can be found in 8 Midwest states (Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin). 

- There are approximately 600 active puppy-selling stores in the United States and our research shows that the majority of the puppies are coming from puppy mills and large scale commercial dog breeders, many of whom have violations. Bailing Out Benji has publicly connected many of these stores to the facilities they buy from. 

https://bailingoutbenji.com/puppy-mill-maps/cvi-data/

- Over 475 localities and 7 states have enacted ordinances that prevent or regulate puppy mills from selling puppies through pet stores. 

Resources to tune in to: 
* Dog by Dog: Documentary about the dark money behind puppy mills. Can be found on numerous streaming sites! 

* Puppy Kingpin: A Sony Productions Podcast that dives deep into the world of puppy mills becoming nonprofit “rescues”. 

* The Doggie in the Window: A phenomenal true story that follows a journalist as she uncovers the cruel puppy mill world that her new puppy was born from. 

If you or someone else wants to get involved with our nonprofit and help us with our mission to end puppy mill cruelty, please contact us about becoming a volunteer or supporter!

What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carni What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carnival 🐾

We were able to share @bailing_out_benji work and educate about puppy mills!
💜One of the highlights of the day for me was meeting sweet little Rosie.🌹 She spent the first 9 mos of her life as an Envigo beagle, being used for inhumane testing. Before her parents adopted her, she was known as CMKCEU, her tag number, which is also tattooed on her ear. She has adjusted to the life she deserves with her family, surrounded by love. She's a happy, sweet girl!
