Oogy Dog

As a Christmas gift I received a book entitled Oogy. Oogy is the story of a dog and his incredibly loving family. A little bit about Oogy: http://www.animals-abused.org/oogy-story.htm

From Shephard Meets World

I was so touched by the gift and can not keep a dry eye when I read about Oogy's story and the love he shares with his family. It's so wonderful to know there are other families like ours out there--families with more courage than us to help animals with bigger issues than our boys'.

I've made reference to the fact Shep joining our family has done more for us than just allow us to have a pet. In reading Oogy's story and seeing some of the similarities between the two dogs and reading the love Oogy's family has for him I am again reminded Shep joined us for a very important reason. We will always be grateful for our Oogy dog, even if he drives us crazy.

Although, knock on wood, our Oogy dog has been great! We started him at doggy day care once a week and he is rockin it! We think we are beginning to see a difference in how he greets dogs he doesn't know as well....here's to a happy, healthy 2011 with our Oogy dog and all the Oogy dogs of the world!
