    Delia’s First Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Adventure

    October 25, 2014 /

    Delia went on her first pumpkin patch and corn maze adventure. She is always happy to go on adventures, but the fact that her young cousin was going along excited her even more. As we waited for the hay ride to the pumpkin patch, Delia checked out the scenery. This one is a little bit too big. We finally made it to the pumpkin patch. “There are are pumpkins as far as I can see, Mom.” “I know I saw my cousin run into this corn maze. Which way did he go?” “I found him!” Off they go…. Catching her breath on the tractor after her run through the corn…

    Football isn’t the only sport to watch Sunday February 2, 2014! Talented canine athletes from around the world compete in the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge, which showcases dogs and their handlers competing in Small Dog Agility, Large Dog Agility, Jack Russell Hurdle Racing, Diving Dog, Fetch It, 30 Weave Up and Back and Freestyle Flying Disc competitions. Back in October Delia and I were invited to the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Missouri, just outside of St. Louis. I’ve been to the Incredible Dog Challenge before, but this time I was able to go “behind the scenes” as a…

    Monday Mischief-Goodbye Snoopy

    May 7, 2013 /

    Delia’s favorite toy since she’s been with me has been her Snoopy doll. He was the first toy I bought her. She loved him so.  Napping with him last week… Un-stuffing him this week… …looking a little guilty….and annoyed….  ….snuggling once again… Two days later… I’m not sure what he did to deserve this, but she managed to not only un-stuff him, but she turned his body completely inside out. Snoopy has moved on to well-loved toy heaven and Delia has moved on to her next victim friend. I wish him better luck than poor Snoopy.

    March 31, 2012 /

    Let me introduce you to….Delia! Delia’s my two year old (her 2nd birthday is today!) spunky Bichon Frise who came to live with my family this past January. I work at a veterinary hospital and Delia was boarding with us over the New Year holiday because her guardian was ill. Sadly, her guardian passed away while she was staying with us. Delia needed a home and I was ready to adopt. It was a perfect match. Delia is a princess with an edge. She loves to fetch, be chased and wrestle with other dogs, but don’t dare expect her to drink after other dogs at the dog park or at…

I was lucky enough to win a gift basket from @fait I was lucky enough to win a gift basket from @faithtreats.12 recently, and it truly made my day. Swipe.to see the goodies!

Inside was their beautiful Sweet Potato Pie for Dogs🥧 (a real treat for my pups), along with 🥓Bacon & Banana🍌 treats that got lots of tail wags, playful toys from BARK, a fun tote bag, and a beautifully handmade blanket that added such a special touch.❤️🐾

The care and thought Faith Treats put into every item truly stood out. If you’re looking to treat your pups with something unique and wholesome I highly recommend them. This basket was a reminder of the wonderful people behind small businesses who genuinely care about the animals they serve. 

Anyone else have a favorite treat from Faith Treats? I’d love to hear about it. ❤️

I have to brag about Delia. She is the absolute sw I have to brag about Delia. She is the absolute sweetest, best-behaved little girl. She saw her doctor today and was the best little patient. She has a completely torn left CCL.😩 If you know Delia, you know she is very active. Looooves to run and fetch, which is how she hurt her leg. She's healthy, but due to age and past anesthesia issues, we've opted for conservative management, no surgery. Please send healing prayers, good vibes, whatever you believe, her way. Thank you 💜

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! 

https://bailingoutbenji.com/donate/

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!
