I ♥ You

Antek and Yogi

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I ♥ you

I wanted Thank You for all beautiful comments. It is amazing watching him around my kids, how good energy doubles and triples with their presence. Observing his transistion from the Bubble is the nicest treat I got recently :).

He makes me believe in power of love.

Rocket - Diving Dog

Life in the Bubble continues to our beautiful Rocket. Today he was trying diving in the creek. He had his head under water and was diving?!

He is an amazing dog, very adventurous and curious creature. After our walk we sat on the bank and had some affection time together, I was scratching his shiny back; he was giving me doggy kisses.

 Life is good even if in the Bubble.

Luna - Autumn Is The Season That Comes Between Summer and Winter

HSSV's Luna begging for once sight of tennis ball

Luna is another Dog in the Bubble. She is so unique, very well mannered, loves to play tennis ball, and you can make her do anything for one sight of this yellow shape. She was shy in her room today, but once she saw leash in my hand she started arguing with me or maybe she was telling me to take her for a walk the fastest as I can. I took Luna for a walk along the creek, she enjoyed running next to me, and after she found herself relax in the fall leaves.

Cheesy Rocket and Shiny Lacy

I missed couple of weeks coming to the Bubble. Rocket is still here. He is a little bit over one-year-old super hyper, sweet and cheesy guy. Half-perfect scenario will be foster home for him what maybe lead to adoption. We had almost two hours time together, just giving him sense of normality, out of the Bubble reality.

HSSV's the most cheesy boy, he will die for square of cheese ;)

Lacy is in foster home, she got adopted February 6th, 2012

Lacy is four-year-old lady, very graceful and sophisticated. We went for a walk to the creek, more we walk I can tell how relax she is, here muscle are less tense. Her fur was a little bit tangled so I groomed her. Check it out how shiny and beautiful she is. Does somebody need companionship? She will be perfect match for you J

Yogi as a ambasador of HSSV Homeward Bound Animal Sponsorship

For her 8th birthday, instead of birthday presents, Claire asked for donations for Yogi.  She wanted him to find a home.  Think back to the excitement of being on the cusp of 8 years old...  Can you imagine  saying... "and for my party, I want my friends to help Yogi.  I don't need any presents this year!" 
Claire amazingly raised $175 and we celebrated by adding Yogi to our Homeward Bound program.  Her gift helped us shine a special light on Yogi who had been waiting and hoping for a home for a long time.
And it worked!  We waived Yogi's adoption fees and he was recently adopted by a family who loves him very much!
We're hoping that you're inspired by Claire's generosity.  Is there a dog, cat, or bunny at Humane Society Silicon Valley who inspires you?  Who makes your heart feel as generous as an 8-year-old on her birthday? 
We're happy and grateful to direct your gift directly to someone who deserves to be Homeward Bound. 

Yogi - Pumpkin Carving Contest Halloween 2011

Yogi discovered his new talent in pumpkin carving :)





Yogi - Post-Halloween Pumpking Carving Contest



Yogi Out of the Bubble Dog is doing great. He is enjoying his time at home. On Saturday we were hiking at the Half Moon Bay on the beach where leashed dogs are allowed. Today we went for a 4 miles hike at Stevens Creek State Park in Cupertino. It is great park! Not many dogs on Wednesday morning. We wish people will have dogs on the leash when are approaching another dog. In case of Yogi it is very important, since he is reactive to other ones. He is ignoring more and more distraction in form of squirrels and birds, with dogs hmmm.... maybe little progress, but still dogs making him very nervous, but with good distance and good treats he almost is ignoring them ;).

Yogi was very excited about Halloween Costumes we were dressed for the party, so we needed work with him a little bit showing him that under costumes are people he trust. Halloween decorations made him uncomfortable so I desensitize him letting him smell skeleton and witch doll and reward him with lots of treats.
