Nala #OTRB

A tribute to our Nala, who suddenly started having seizures on Wednesday night.  A trip to the emergency vet revealed nothing.  She spent all day Thursday at the Vet getting attention and IV fluids.  The vets sent her home Thursday night.   Unfortunately, she had a very severe seizure Friday morning and did not recover.

We are blessed to have met Nala.  She was one of the sweetest dogs ever.  No one will ever be able to tell us that Pit Bulls are "bad dogs."

Rest in Peace our sweet girl.

To Barkworld 2013 or Bust by @Imajackrussell

I have great memories of BarkWorld Expo.

My first year at Barkworld Expo was an adventure.   All of those people and and goodies were Pawesome!

I got to meet my pal Niqqi at the first BarkWorld.  We were very excited to see each other. 



Humom talked about my books and how my Twitter Pals helped me along in the process.


My Second Year at BarkWorld Expo was quite the adventure

Thanks to BarkWorld Expo sponsor, Suburu.  We got a chance to drive to  our favorite conference



Another sponsor, PocketFinder tracked out journey via GPS.



Everyone at BarkWorld received a copy of my second book courtesy of Natural Balance 


I got to see my friends again.  Can you find me in there?  Thanks to Sponsor, Best Friends Pet Care



Humom taught a few pals how to use Twitter and other social networks





Sadly, I missed the third annual BarkWorld Expo.  
I was a sad puppy too.  Missed seeing my pals.

This year, I'm hoping to have sponsor Pruven, from 3M!  Get me to BarkWorld in style!

If you'd like to see me there... RT this post and help me out.  Thanks pals.  I look forward to seeing you this year.

Keep up with Rocky and Nala on Instagram #RockyandNala

Keep up with the former Strays in the Hood, Rocky and Nala on Instagram.

Rocky is still full of personality and while he tries to be tough, he's pretty much a softy and fearful of the weirdest things.

Nala is slowly relaxing and letting her personality shine.

A few weeks ago I witnessed Nala sticking her whole face in the water bowl and splashing around.

I decided to see if a kiddie pool would work.

I went to two stores to find the last kiddie pool in town.

At first they thought I'd brought them a giant water dish.

Then.... 

I looked out to find Nala having a blast in the pool.


Keep up with the two of them on Instagram http://instagram.com/RockyandNala

I also often post pics and videos in the Google+ Social Media Pawesome Pets Community

Adventures in Oklahoma Weather

Weather in Oklahoma takes some getting used to.  It's April.  Last Wednesday, Precious had to wear her sweater to the Wednesday afternoon Food Truck festival at the all new Guthrie Green park in Downtown Tulsa.  


Then on Sunday, we had to seek out a shade tree in the same park. 


Throw in the thunder storms and I think Precious is hoping to be shipped back to California.

Vote For Rocky in the @HumaneSociety World #SpayDay Pet Pageant

Rocky didn't want to be left out of the whole vote for me game, so I've entered him in the Humane Society's World Spay Day Pageant 

If you recall, Rocky was the original Stray in the Hood.  All head last summer, this little guy was responsible for stealing my mom's news paper.  He would eat treats out of my hand through that fence, and he introduced us to Nala. (his girlfriend) 


Now he's our handsome boy who loves a belly rub and would give up most things just to sleep on the sofa. (most things, not treats or food) 


Rocky really loves Precious, I even noticed him being protective of her when he though she was
not happy at doggie day care.   Precious didn't care for him at first. He was just too clumsy for her.  Now she tolerates him and secretly likes having a big brother. 


Rocky and Nala are best of buds and are pretty much inseparable.

Nala is trying to win cash for homeless pets. Please help! #contests #sweepstakes

Petfinder is ringing in 2013 by celebrating the luckiest adopted pets around. 





Well, If you recall, Nala was one of the #Straysinthehood  
She went from sleeping outside, afraid of everything and everyone to one of the most pampered
pets around. 



Nala and Precious get along really well.  Their temperaments are very similar.


Which was why we decided early on to keep her. 


I just love watching her come out of her shell. 



Although she had a rough time at first fitting in. 

 She had no problem embracing the good life.  

Please log in and vote for Nala http://shar.es/YNEX5

If she  wins, a  $5,000 donation will go to Pitbull rescue of Oklahoma. http://www.pbroklahoma.com/

Vote for Nala http://shar.es/YNE4Y

Rocky & Nala Adventures @Petco


Rocky & Nala had Grooming Appointments at Petco 


I decided to take them on a trip through the isles.   
Rocky was very impressed.

Nala's tail was tucked, but she was showing happy face smelling all of the smells.


Rocky tried to 'er test out the Natural Balance 
(Precious has similar photos, except she fits under the shelf)




More fun. 

So proud of them both. Rocky's report card from the groomer was 
that he was much improved.   
(The first time he was not happy & he took a poop on their floor)
