Lady wants more than anything in all the world to run with you. Sure, she can catch a tennis ball or sit for a treat, she likes a good hug and a drink from the kiddie pool… but all of that is nothing compared to the idea that you might run with her.

One of our favorite things about Lobo is that when he’s listening intently with his ears all perked up, he looks kinda like a cute little bat! Na-na-na-na-na-na BAT-DOG! He’s prepared to help you in protecting Gotham City! Or, you know, looking particularly on-theme when you take him for a walk on Walla Walla’s Adam West day.

Luna’s favorite thing in the whole wide world is playing in the pool. Well, for right now at least – and who can blame her? It’s been so hot in Walla Walla – so she’s been getting in early morning play sessions to splash around. She likes to snuffle her nose into the water and blow bubbles. She likes to crawl around in circles then stand up and shake the water out of her fur. While all we’ve got here is a kiddie pool, we have our suspicions that Luna would LOVE the beach.

Happy-Go-Lucky Otto likes to play. If he gets the impression you’re not catching on, he’ll toss a Frisbee in the air himself, and catch it in his mouth. See? It’s so much fun! Don’t you want to try?

The first thing you should know about Jack is that he is a Good Boy. Basically, every time you hear Jack’s name mentioned around here, you immediately hear someone else pipe up “Jack? He’s such a good boy.” In fact, he inspired this week of posts – a volunteer said “How is Jack still here?! We need to do something about that!”

You know how little kids draw a picture of a dog? With the “brown” crayon and the little floppy ears and the big smile and wagging tail? That’s Layla. She’s the platonic ideal of a dog!

You’re going to want to move things away from the edge of the coffee table, because this girl has the waggiest wag that ever wagged. We’re talking tail-thumping, SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU, FRIEND!

Big dogs, small dogs and people who love dogs – Dog Jog is a dog lover’s dream come true! Honey, our 4-year-old Pitbull mix, thought she had died and gone to doggy heaven when she jumped out of our car at the Mill Creek Recreation Area parking lot for the 2018 Dog Jog. We had adopted her from Blue Mountain Humane Society the previous October and she was still coming out of her shell.
