Welcome to my blog where I try to post a photo taken somewhere in or around Bellefonte, PA each day or close to it.
I also post various meme's here such as (ABC Wed., Skywatch Fri., Photo Meme's, Camera Critters, Weekend Mailbox) that I participate in each week, which are also focused in or around my town.
This is a photo of Rudolph who is at the animal shelter waiting adoption. (Photo taken by Paws Animal Shelter)
Rudolph is a Pitbull, about 2 yrs old and so sweet. He loves people and enjoys lounging around. If you want to see another pose of Rudolph, visit their website here at Paws.
There are wonderful dogs at shelters just waiting to be adopted. And, alot of times there are purebreds for those who have to have one kind. Here's one of the huskies living at the shelter. Quote from website: "Max is a 1 year old husky who was rescued from a bad situation. He loves other dogs and is good with children." There are three other huskies that are with Max's family at the shelter that would love to be adopted.
Don't just think purebred though, there are alot of mixed breds who would love you just as much. To see more of the dogs in Centre county waiting to be adopted go to Centre County Paws.
Since I didn't have any pictures to post today, this week for ABC Wed. I'm going to recommend an animal book called, "Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters From Obedience School" by Mark Teague. Somehow I missed last weeks letter "G". But, moving on to the letter "H". My word for ABC Wed. and the letter "H" is "Homesick" This dog finds out just want it means to want to go "home". LOL. This is so cute and funny. If you have children or grandchildren this is a wonderful children's story about a dog who gets sent to obedience school and keeps writing home to his master about everything that is going wrong. He whines about the food, the service, just about everything and wants to go home. This is such a wonderful book and the best children's book I've read in along time. I love the illustrations, along with the story line and it's funny. A great book! Check it out at your local library or you can find it at bookstores. And, no I don't have anything invested in this book, nor do I know the author. I just think this is a wonderful must have book.
I posted this on my other blog and thought I'd post this here too for Camera Critters this week.
This woman is fighting to make it a law against chaining dogs up. She is chained at Harrisburg Capitol to Win Law for Abused Dogs. How would you like to be chained to a dog box all your life in all kinds of weather? Watch this video.
Last year I heard about a dog in our area who ended up with their paws frozen to the pavement and then died because someone left the poor dog out in the freezing cold. Let's help this lady get this law passed to Unchain the Dogs and give them all a better life.
Here's a quote that was sent to me in my email..."Dogs Need Change. Not Chains." is one of the taglines that drives Tamira Thayne's "Operation Fido Freedom." Thayne has made headlines by chaining herself to the PA State Capitol Building from 8:00 - 6:00 every day until SB 1435, a limiting chaining law, is passed in PA."
Even if you can't adopt a dog, please help pass this law by writing to your state Senator and urge others to contact their state Senator too and get this law passed to not chain dogs. Here's a website on Unchaining Dogs to find out more. Find out what you can do to help pass this law.
These photos on this website will shock you but you need to see them to help get this law passed. They are on the Dogs Deserve Better website or go directly to these photos Shocking photos of why dogs should be Unchained.
I took this photo of my dog Tucker at the table. I edited the other stuff out with the program called, "Play with Pictures". Love this program, it's fun.
We were just sitting out in the driveway minding our own business and we had some visitors stroll in. Like any good host you like to ask your visitors if they'd like anything to eat or drink. Here's my grandson feeding our new visitors... They ate... Then they decided to check out a few chalk drawings... Rounded the corner and then they were gone.
I took this photo at the Arts & Crafts Festival in Boalsburg last week. They put out a tub of water for the dogs. I'm glad someone thought of this. Although, the dogs really needed in a cool place at home. It was so hot that day with the humidity extremely high that you sweated just sitting. So, when your out and about make sure your pet drinks everytime you get a drink. Make it a rule and you won't forget. Pets should be offered drinks more often since he/she will be alot hotter than you with the fur coat they have on.
This is my sister's horse, Spot. The long name is Spotted Dream Catcher. She took this photo when the snow was melting at the end of this winter season. This is my sister's pet pride and joy.
Three Tucker's or just one? Well, it's just one. I took this photo through my kitchen door window. The way the glass is set on the door it gives an illusion of three Tucker's. Tucker was outside on the porch looking up at me. Then I had the thought...Whew! What if I had three Tucker's? He's a handfull just by himself.
Did you ever wonder what if you had 3 of the same dog or cat? What would it be like?
There's a bug on this plant, not sure what the plant/flower is called. The bug is on the middle plant. It was at the Botanical Garden at Penn State. A 15 min. drive from Bellefonte. I didn't notice the bug on it till I had it enlarged. If you want to enlarge the photo, just double click on it.
My sister and I visited Penn's Cave a few days ago, and I noticed these two elks. They have a wildlife safari where you ride through by bus. We didn't do that tour yet, but I got a good shot of these two on the way out of the area. Penn's Cave is about a 25 min. drive from Bellefonte. The two elk look like a mirror image but there are really two there.
