This week went to the dogs!




Whew, our blog has been the last thing on our mind over the last week or so, we've been frantically busy. Up to our ears in flea soap, dog fur, belly scratches and chin rubs.

We rescued 7 dogs, count them, SEVEN from a shelter called "Devore", near Los Angeles.  It's a hell on earth for dogs who end up there, a "shelter" with deplorable conditions.  Each of these dogs were scheduled to be killed within several hours of our rescue. 

It's been an adventurous week to say the least.  We consider ourselves "dog people", but found ourselves a bit unprepared for the excitement.  Little Gracie the black and white dog on the blue pews managed to jump our 5 foot gate the first morning we had her.  And before we knew it, she was captured and turned into the local shelter on Gaines street.  We are calling her our little outlaw.  But because of her charm and beauty, she was adopted straight away by Kristi and Nick. 

We're looking for homes for several of the dogs and we are working with Second Chance Dog Rescue here in San Diego.  They have been fantastic about helping get us the dogs spayed and neutered and in foster homes.

We have the two little dogs that have taken over our office, Rhett and Scarlett
Schindler
who need forever homes.  They are a bonded pair, brother and sister and look like small dalmatians with brown spots.
Cute, quiet and cuddly!  Scarlett is sitting by the sunshine pillow and Rhett is the white dog below in the photo above. 
To our left is Schindler, he is in a foster home and well on his way to being adopted. 



Diego came to us just YESTERDAY, hours from being killed at the shelter.  He is super sweet and a BIG dog ! HE'S FOSTERING WITH US AND
 NEEDS A FOREVER HOME please EMAIL US for his bio

With all the excitement, we almost forgot this is a wedding blog--- the only wedding talk we have today is from a master talker: Dr. Phil

Just received a message from the folks at the Dr. Phil show and it seems they are on the hunt for wedding disasters.  Why people want to see something so stressful, we'll never know.  Here is the scoop if you want to contact them.  Let them know we sent you over since we feel pretty safe saying that we can't think of any wedding disasters we were part of.
