Puppy Gram!

Sparky: You can say it with candy, flowers, or jewelry.

Denver: But this Valentine's Day, say it with puppy breath.

S: Order your Puppy-Gram TODAY!

D: Sure, a snuggly, adorable puppy tied with a big red bow would get you serious points with the significant other, but if you're not ready for the morning after chewed-up shoe, you can still have a furbaby deliver your Valentine's Day love - no strings attached.

S: For a donation of $45 a cute-as-can-be Brother Wolf rescued puppy will stop by for a visit at your honey's workplace on Friday, February 12th bearing a flower and personalized card, balloon, and sweet treat.

D: Show your sensitive side (women love that!) and help save a life.

S: Go to www.bwar.org to sign up. Deadline Thursday, Feb. 11th.

Playmate and Snow Days

Sparky: Are you guys ready to hear about our February Playmate of the Month?

Denver: We'd like to congratulate Sophie Arnold, an almost 4 year old Springer Spaniel who wags her little stub like it's nobody's business when she's excited.

S: And when she comes to Sparky's, it's safe to say she's excited.

D: I don't think her butt stays still the entire time she's here!

S: Whether it's fetching tennis balls, chasing her friends in the yard, or taking a dip in the pool, Sophie truly knows how to have a good time!

D: Thanks for all the fun you bring to Sparky's, Sophie!



D: In other news, we'd thought we'd share our shoebox of photos. The photos of our snow days of course!

S: Check out what we do when the weather gets frosty!

Happy Birthday, Signe!

Denver: Signe turns 3 years old today!



Sparky: And to celebrate, her Mom brought us all a cookie cake to share!

D: Nice try, Sparks. We don't get to eat the cookie cake, the employees do.

S & D: Happy Birthday, little miss Signe! And thanks for the cake, Ellen!

January Playmate

Sparky: This month's Playmate Award goes to Sydney Coker, a year old Shepard/Heeler mix who has been coming since he was just a pup.

Denver: Every time Sydney comes to play, he bursts through the front doors with a big grin on his face and is always ready to greet his friends.

S & D: Congratulations, Sydney! You deserve it.

A Year in Review

Sparky: We'd like to take this time to say Happy New Years!

Denver: And we'd also like to thank all of you for your continued support.

S: It certainly has been one heck of a year. Let's recap on some things that have happened!

D: Remember in January when our pad froze over and we all thought it was so hilarious to run and slide around on it?



S: And February brought Charlie, an employee adoption, to us!



D: Then came March, when Hickory was a stray who found her way to Sparky's, and we found her a home.*



S: In April, co-owner Russ was doing a lot of upgrades for us! Here's a funny shot of the lengths he went to do it.



D: Besides the fun of two employee birthdays in May, this was also the month that co-owner Russ's bird, Kinky climbed to the top of some tall foliage and it was a hilarious time trying to get him down. Thankfully, Russ is pretty good at climbing trees!



S: In June we did a lot of "water sports". Tee hee.



D: July brought great usage of the playground equipment.



S: We were still doing "water sports" *ah hem* in August...



D: The gang was feeling a bit more academic in September, and decided to take some time out from playing, to read a loud to one another for a bit. Although, there did seem to be some confusion about who was supposed to be doing the reading.



S: October is really nice because...hey, wait...how'd that great picture of me get in there? *looks around suspiciously*



D: Ha-ha. That was smooth, Sparks. November looks like fun times were had in the play equipment, too.



S: And wrapping up last year with December, was of course, THE SNOWPOCALYPSE!



S & D: Here's to a new and exciting 2010!


S: Also, don't forget to check out our rate changes! Small, but important!

*Disclaimer: Sparky's is not a shelter. We do not have the ability or space to house stray or unwanted animals.
