Skeet

You know the saying: "Small body... big... VOICE??" :D That will be describing Skeet very accurately. He's all a bundle of over-the-to energy; he even makes us feel tired watching him!

His volume really escalates when you leave the room. C'mon... now who would even like that?! :P But if you quietly shut the door he just thinks that you are not there and will be quiet. For a while. 

Love

We love the oldies :) And Love is no exception - she does remind us of Cherub and Miss Poot. They share similar backgrounds, all being rescue dogs. Love wanders around minding her own business most of the time... then she will feel "lost" and pause to holler for help. For an elderly senior, she sure has one very loud voice - all of them do, in fact :P How else will they get your attention when they are otherwise so good all the time? :)

Abi, Eve & Molly

If joy ever came in a dog - it would be in Eve for sure. She is happiness rolled into one tiny Westie! Eve is part of a trio that includes Abi and Molly.

Abi is the Love-Bug. Molly is the shy one (that's her at the back). Abi was a great sister to "protect" Molly from her new environment that includes a ceiling fan. Yes Abi thinks the ceiling fan goes on and off just to annoy her! :P

But they are also no strangers to a little pampering - see them here in the sofa! It's a big 3 seater, but no one else dares to come up. Not when these 2 princesses are on!

 Eve, oh Eve. What else can I say? How do you feel anything but Happy when you are around Eve? :D

Aspen

Aspen (and the fridge - haha) is one happy, if very excitable, husky. He doesn't mean any harm, but sometimes he sees new friends and wants to say HELLO! At 110% :D

But I think that is what makes him lovable. There isn't a mean bone in this boy. Oh yes he talks like any other husky, that's when he's so happy that he just can't contain it! :D Just check out that big grin!

Lily

Shy, quiet and yet friendly enough - can you say that Lily is a gem? She's an oldie-goodie, which makes her even more special. Mambo tries to touch (paw) her long coat from the neighboring side and Lily will turn to give him the "side-glance" and ever the slightest growl. Then he s-l-o-w-l-y pulls back his paw.

Ah yes, there is a Princess in there after all!

Claire

Are you laughing? I know I am! This is Claire - THE cutest pug ever! :D

She's one crazy happy happy happy dog when we go to say hello and bring her for walkies, feed her and give her treats before we leave.

We let her have her burst of freedom when we walk her in the compound - she goes full speed ahead and tears up her path!

"Why are you making me wait?"

Alex

This young one is Alex and when he first came, no one dared to go near his box. What a spitfire! Thankfully for Mambo and Baron (the resident boys), they didn't give up and kept going over to say hello. Or steal Alex's food... Haha.

But the best thing about kittens is that their curiosity and eagerness to explore far outweighs any grumpy mood. And Alex is no different. By the end of the 2nd day he was ready to mingle with the others.

"HUH?? You talking to meeee?"

Our Christmas Pledge

With 25days to the New Year and counting, here's our pledge for the season:

For every person making a holiday greeting on our FaceBook FanPage wall, MIBO will donate $5 to Gentle Paws & Friends (on top of our monthly contribution as our adopted charity). So come on and show us your holiday spirit and the dogs will feel it too!

So far (this is the first day!), I have been very touched by the great response! Keep your greeting and well-wishes coming :D Remember: For every person's wishes, we will donate $5 to Gentle Paws to keep their little paw-stockings filled this holiday!

And to up the challenge ante (why not), we are looking for great individuals who are willing to pledge a percentage of the final amount to Gentle Paws. We are game for any figure: from 1% to 10% (or more!). So 1% of $500 will be $5 only! So what say you? The dogs will really love you for it - and you'll know you gave the more meaningful gift this holiday!

Send us an email or Facebook message with your pledge percentage and we'll hook you up at the end of 2010!

Bart, Penny, Arthur & Lance

What an extraordinary bunch of felines! You open the door and they are all out to greet you... This was for a pet sitting assignment that was for a while - so I really got the chance to know these guys thoroughly!

Meet Bart and...

... sister, Penny! They have such an exciting story and they are only young cats! Both are friendly and speak very politely. Bart is the daily bag inspector and Penny... well, she's pretty to look at :D

This is Arthur. And I must admit, this boy has captivated me :) He's a very special boy in my eyes and I love looking forward to him when I go by everyday. A real sweet-talker, that is what Arthur is... he comes up to you, looks you straight in the eye and "Maooooo"

He'll always be where you are... when you're getting ready the food, scooping the litter box (all 4!), vacuuming (ok he stays away - but he's watching you!) and when you get out the brush he's gonna come and sit right by you to wait his turn :) Can't help holding and hugging this old man!

And this is Lance... and if he looks like he doesn't do much, well, you're right :P He's just happy on top of his box. When it's food time, he'll be there, like the quiet gentleman that he is.

If you think you can initiate more contact with Lance, you'll get The Paw... it's a gentleman's paw too. But I think i know to give him his space... he's earned it :D

What did i say - doesn't that look like the greatest group of cats?
