Woohoo! 100 lb dog!

Stanley would like you to observe what a 100.1 lb dog looks like:


We're down 21.9 lbs in 16 weeks! Most people would be excited to make such good progress on their weight loss plan, so we are super proud of Mr. Stan.

Winter coat is in, so his measurements are all up, but the weight just keeps going down!!

That's his baa-baa there in the picture...more on baa baa in a future post!

Stanley's excited! He says WOOT!

Howl'o'ween!!!

Every year, JNMRF holds a Howl'o'ween Fundraiser. Moosedoggers from around the world dress up their pooches and felines and there's a fun vote to raise money for the rescue. For each vote, JNMRF asks that you donate $1 for elkhound rescue.


Stanley dressed up as Margot this year! (To vote, he's the center on the bottom row!) Donations can be made by credit card, check or paypal on the site!

Stanley hopes that you'll donate. If his folks hadn't been so quick to find him at Homeward Pet , organizations like JNMRF would have been his best hope, and they need your help to save more elkhounds! Please consider a vote (a vote for Stanley is even better!!!)

Stanley on Upsidedown Dogs!

Recently, Stanley was featured on http://upsidedowndogs.com/


Someone mentioned that it was appropriate for October...He does have a bit of an "elkula" look going on!

Weigh in!

SO - We had a weigh in this week and we've hit the next big milestone! Stanley is under 105 lbs...104.4 to be exact!



It's been pretty thrilling watching him start to look less like a baby seal and more like a dog :) He even occasionally leaps to his feet these days!



We're off to a week at the happiest place on earth, but we have plans for the blog and we'll be returning to more regular posting when we get back! Woot!

This week, our local Evening Magazine did a piece focusing on Canine Connections, a program that pairs dogs deemed unadoptable because of behavioral issues and adolescents in a juvenile detention:

Great rescue organizations do such great work helping dogs deemed unadoptable - Stanley didn't have such a great outlook, but organizations like Homeward and Canine Connections are doing great work to help homeless dogs every day.

Stanley hopes you'll consider volunteering or supporting your local shelters and rescue organizations!!

Stanley is a Licker

Stanley likes to lick things. Mostly, he licks the rug.


But he also licks appendages....

His feet, my feet, Chris' feet...they're all game for Stanley and his epic tongue! I've been keeping an eye on his paws and feet for hotspots, but so far, so good!
