I want puppy mills to stop. if you read this please know not to buy puppy mill puppies! Help us take an END to puppy mills. Protest against it. Help save puppies from bad lives.

My Injury

My right leg hurt, I went to PT, but it was only tendonitis. Soon my left leg hurt, and we went to the doctor, and found out I fractured my petela. I was scared. I thought it was the same thing. I now have a brace, and I have crutches.  I was sad. I have them for 4 weeks.

The New Puppy

My grandma and I went to get a puppy because she was looking for a dog and we found this puppy. So we went to go get it.
  She is a miniature australian sheperd and her name his Cassy. She loves playing, and I get to train her for the fair! I am so exited that I get to train her, and I absolutly love her.

Clothes for Girl Dogs

This summer I have been working on clothes for girl dogs because I got a donation of some girl onesies. It was hard to make my brother's onesies look good for girl dogs. I am very excited to share them. My grandma gave me some leftover dog food from her dog that died to donate to the shelter dogs in memory of Kaia. I miss Kaia. My girl dog clothes donation will be in memory of Kaia too.

I am also going to a movie premiere about puppy mills. The movie is called Dog by Dog. I can't wait!

Spring Show

I had a spring show for gymnastics and I made my round-off 5,4, and 3 backhand springs. It was fun and we did a dance and the coaches danced. My routine was beam and i upgraded my skill to a cartwheel instead of a handstand. I also got to spend time with my friends and I got to stretch with them and I watched them do their routines. I also helped them and that was the biggest part because they were higher level than me and I helped them.

This is the team dance.

This is my routine.

This is the coaches' dance.

My trip to the Animal Rescue Leage of Iowa

Today we went to the ARL to drop off my clothes. They gave me a tour, I got to see some cats and dogs. I got to pet a cat and give dogs some treats. I also got to see a chinchilla and pet a rat named Gus! My favorite part was meeting the people that worked there, like Goizane and Cicely, and going on a tour. I learned some stuff too! I learned that a chinchilla can live up to fifteen years old but the chinchilla there was eighteen years old and I thought that was amazing! I also got to see some little dogs. 

Today was a great day.  We took pictures with the clothes. I love the ARL! They had a sign that I took pictures by too. Goizane is going to use my clothes for their outreach program and I think that is a good idea. I can't wait until dogs get my clothes!

A Little Bit of Lace

This weekend my mom, my grandma, and I worked on more clothes so we can get our first shipment ready to donate. We even got my great grandma to help, because she donated a lot of lace. I need the lace because it is going to be like a signature on my doggie clothes. On the boy clothes we put a small piece on the inside of the clothes. On the girl clothes we just add lace. The lace is a reminder of how the clothes are not perfect, like the orange shirt I made where we had to add lace to cover up the holes we made. But just because they aren't perfect, doesn't mean they're not good!

Here are some of the new designs we did this weekend. We need to get some girl onesies because it is hard to make clothes for girl dogs out of my little brother's old clothes! But the green one turned out good for a girl dog with flower lace and a bow.

 

My first donation is ready to go help some dogs! Maybe we can add some treats for them with the clothes.
