All About Me!


When is your birthday?
2/24/06, the day my moms adopted me from the Humane Society. I was a stray. Already about a year old, I was so scrawny that I had to stay “downstairs” for a month to put on some weight. I was only 11 lbs when I was adopted, but worked my way up to the big 18-pounder I am today.
Who are your human family members? Judy Nelson and Colleen Devine
Do you share the house with a cat/bird/critter? Not on purpose. Last year we had a squirrel in the attic.
Who is the boss in your house? Colleen
Do you have a doggie girlfriend/boyfriend? It’s going to be Bucky Adelmann, but he doesn’t know that yet.
How would you spend your ideal day? Snoozin’ on the couch with Judy after having some training fun with Colleen.
Who are your best friends?
Aunt Nanny, Aunt Susan, and Bucky Adelmann (but Bucky doesn’t know that yet).
What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
I’m getting to be a bit of a “clothes horse”.

Anything else? Yes, I’m quite proud of my tail.

My Favorites


What is your favorite collar you own?
My buttery-soft leather collar, but like a brassiere, it sure feels good to take it off.
What are your favorite dog foods?
I’m switching to Blue Buffalo next.
What are your favorite people foods?
Potatoes!
What is your favorite treat?
Potatoes!

What is your favorite color? Red

Sleep with moms or in your own bed?
Both places, but not at the same time, of course.
Dog parks or back yard? There’s no place better than my own back yard.
Picky Pooch or Chow Hound?
I can be both. And when I get home from daycare at Paws Inn, I’m not being fussy; I’m just too pooped to eat.

Bask in the sun or snooze in the shade?
Sun, please.
Peanut Butter or Cheese?
PB

I sometimes barf in the car, so let’s go for a walk!



"I think if I sit pretty I will get a yummy treat...and you know I will!"


"Ummm...excuse me cat, but that is my pillow to nap on while I'm at daycare!"

Meet the newest family member!


Woof! My name is Catch Up and I'm the newest family member to the Theis family. I am a Pug and was adopted to my great family just a couple weeks ago from Legacy Kennels in Lester Prairie! My name started out as Royce (as in Rolls Royce) but Marissa, my new sister, couldn't remember it. She renamed me Catch Up and it stuck! I think she named me that because I am always trying to "catch up" to everyone.


I really like living here and love going to meet new friends down at Paws Inn Resort. I'm still a little guy, but I think I'm a big guy! No fear! I love my new doggy brothers and sisters, but I don't think they know what to do about me yet. I'm trying to get them to play, but sometimes they tell me to go away! Chief, my big bro the Golden Retriever, lets me chew on his tail and chase him. What a guy! The kids really like to carry me around...I try to tell them I can walk just fine, but they like to scoop me up anyway!

I hope I get to meet you all someday, so make sure to stop by and say hi! I would really love to play with you and give you kisses! Oh and bring your furry friends too...I love meeting new friends and my mom Jodi says it's good for me to meet as many new friends as I can so I don't get scared around new friends and their humans!

See you all soon!

Woof!

Meet Penelope & Oliver!

Meet Penelope & Oliver!


We need a new forever home!
Do you have it in your hearts to make room for us?

Penelope and Oliver are 2 year old littermates that were surrendered to us because there was a new baby in the family and the owner could not provide them the attention they needed. They are both beautiful cats that are very friendly and love attention. Oliver is more outgoing and laidback. Penelope is a bit more timid and unsure of new situations, but she follows her brother's lead and warms up pretty quickly. Because these two are so closely bonded, we are requiring they be adopted together. We often find them curled up in a round ball together in the shape of the yin/yang symbol--very cute!! Penelope and Oliver are sterilized, microchipped, updated on vaccinations, and come with a DVD on how to introduce your adopted cats to their new home($29 value)--their adoption fee is $250.00 for the pair. For more information, please call SW Metro Animal Rescue at 952-368-7297 ~ line 2.

Paws Inn Resort helps foster cats that are in need of socialization, medications, or whatever we can do to help out homeless kitties like Penelope and Oliver. You may find different cats here when you stop by...take time to say hi! They love the attention!


Agility Weekend with Jodi & Trooper


Jodi and her Golden Retriever Trooper participated in an Agility Trial in St. Peter this past weekend and did GREAT!
They qualified in the Standard as well as the Jumpers! They had good runs and it was fun for Jodi to see Trooper get out there and do his obstacles in the awesome weather! They haven't run in over a year and Trooper still had it!
Way to go Jodi and Trooper!
