I finally gots da compooter from Mommy! It's Blog the Change Day! I can write about anyfing I wanna as long as it's about change. I want to talk abouts a couple a places that is trying to make a change here in Indiana!

The first place is Beagle Buddies! My moms furiend Victoria finds all kindsa beagles and places dem in foster care til a FUREVER home is found! My mommy even fostered a baby beagle for Beagle Buddies. They try to get all the senior beagles, cuz they has the hardest times finding homes mommy says. I not sure why someone wuld frow away an old guy or gal, dusn make sense. Head on over there and take a look if you wanna. They really are goood peoples. Beagles are lucky to has dem! 

The udder place is called Forever Friends Great Dane Rescue! They do da same fing as da Beagle place, cept its for big guys and gals like me!! We bigger fur babies has a hard time finding homes sometimes, peoples do not realize how much time and tensions we need. Some peoples hurt big guys and gals like me :( Mommy and daddy try to take me to all of the FFGDRI events. I has met lots of big cousins dat really really need to find their FUREVER homes too. 

Maybe you can't adopt one right now, but you can help in udder ways too! Bof places need help wif green papers, and can use yur old stuffs yu dusn need anymore like blankets and towels, or even foods for the foster babies!
Please, check them out if yus has time today. They are bof gweat places that is close to mine and my mommys heart!

If you has yur own blog, yu can be part of the change too! How yu ask?

So one day earlier dis summer mamma and daddy cides dey wants to take a trip! I loves goin fur rides! Mommy says I gonna see fings I prolly never saw afore! I gets really really happys when mamma grabs my leash! So I started dancin round da living room while mamma and daddy grabs my food, food bowls, water bowl, water jug (daddy says I never go wifout waters!) and my treats.
Next fing I know, we is in da van. I of course gets my seat all to myself!

Mommy and daddy get real happy when dey travel too. Dey laugh alot and mommy is always takin picsures of sumpin (usually me!) wif her camra.
Her gots real cited for me when we went into Illinois. I's not even sure where dat is!



We seen dis huuuuge cross on da side of da road. Mommy oooo'd and awwwww'd over it!


Mommy likes to talk to me when I is just trying to get a nap in. Her says I is gonna love da Arch. What is dis Arch her speaks of? What is it for? I never heards of such a fing. So I is gettin really cited to see dis. Why is it so far away tho I wonder. Then mommy starts saying fings like...oh....oh..what is that I see??

Den...dere it is....a huuuuuuuuge big metal fing reaching da sky! Mommy says her has been here afore, daddy hasn't so me and him get to explore for da first time.


Has yu ever been here?? Mommy of course had to stop and get pix at the "leg" of dis arch fing. I thought I was big...wow...standing dere, I is a wil guy compared to dis big place.
I like going places but peoples comes running up all da time and dey scares me. I know, I is big, I shuld not be scareds, but I is. Too many peoples wants picsures of me wif dere lil peoples. I is ok I guess, just wish sometimes dat I was normal like udder dogs. Mommy says I is a vewy good guy for gettin all dose picsures and I will get special treats for actin likes a gentleman.

So we walks around and looks at all kinds of fings, dere are so many udder doggies dere dat I culd become furiends wif! I like dis place!

Mommy hasa talk to peoples, her says to get da right informasin for my blog. Do yu know why dis fing was built? We found out and its really interstin!

"Jefferson National Expansion Memorial consists of the Gateway Arch, the Museum of Westward Expansion, and St. Louis' Old Courthouse. During a nation-wide competition in 1947-48, architect Eero Saarinen's inspired design for a 630-foot stainless steel arch was chosen as a perfect monument to the spirit of the western pioneers. Construction of the Arch began in 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965, for a total cost of less than $15 million. The Arch has foundations sunk 60 feet into the ground, and is built to withstand earthquakes and high winds; it sways up to 1 inch in a 20 mph wind, and is built to sway up to 18 inches. A Grand Staircase leads from the St. Louis levee up to the base of the Gateway Arch."


"Welcome to the Old Courthouse!

The majestic Old Courthouse has remained over the past 150 years as one of St. Louis' most prominent architectural landmarks. Plan your visit to see all the permanent exhibits and special events! The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s. You may tour this historic structure, and visit the restored courtrooms to learn more about our 19th century judicial system.

St. Louis' Old Courthouse is listed in the National Park Service's National Underground Railroad Network To Freedom. The Network to Freedom recognizes sites, programs and facilities with verifiable associations to the Underground Railroad. The phenomenon popularly known as the Underground Railroad has been broadly defined by the National Park Service as the "historic resistance to enslavement through escape and flight." The Old Courthouse is linked with the story of the Underground Railroad, and with that of slavery, as a property associated with legal challenges to slavery. It was a public forum as well as a courthouse. Slaves were auctioned from its steps in estate settlements, while one man's suit for freedom helped plunge the country into Civil War. The Old Courthouse was the site of hundreds of suits for freedom, but one gained notoriety. In 1847, Dred Scott, with his wife Harriet, sued for, and were granted, their freedom. After many appeals, the case was decided upon by the Supreme Court. The decision stated that slaves were property, and as such, had no right to sue. The Dred Scott Decision hastened the start of the Civil War."


We had funs walking around  and looking at what mommy called da great missipi river.

There was even gamblin boat and helicoppers dere!


When we cided we had enuff of da  arch we had to go hunt for cash mommy says. Her says "garages need to take cards!" I not know what dis means! But I gots to ride in lelevator!


All in all I'd say it was a nice trip. We live in Indianapolis so mommy says it was a really good one day trip. Daddy loved it too since him had nevr seen it afore eeefer. I is glad mommy and daddy likes to travel, I gets to ride in my van all da time, I gets to visit new places and I can share fun stuffs wif all my bloggy furiends!

So mommy likes to look around the net fur things that help all furbabies she says. She has found several rescues here in Indy that help homeless pets. I think they are great places. I know I would be scared if something ever happened to my mommy and daddy and I had to go away to some place like that.
So today I want to say thank you to the ones I have listed below, and if you know of some can you leave a comment about them? You know its going to take us helping each other to fix our problems,  as our moms and dads get so busy in the things they have to do.





We should have a whole list of places where our pet parents can get us a brother or sister if we want one!
Hope everyone has a good day today, I'm going to go visit my favorite blogs since I did not get a chance to over the weekend!



giant wet kisses for you all,
Roscoe

So mommy was very very busy this weekend, I couldnt steal the computer from her at all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I could smell all kinds of good food on that fire thing mommy and daddy has.
So back to my regular posting, this is my next homeless friend.

 
This is Marley, WOOF!!! I think her is very very purty!!!

Hi. My name is Marley and I am a 1.5 yr old Merle Great Dane and Labrador mix. I was found as a stray and then Great Dane Rescue took me in. I know how to sit, give paw, lie down and I usually walk nice on my leash, although I can get a bit excited. I am recently house-trained because I am a quick learner. I have a great disposition - I am calm, friendly, love people and other dogs and secretly want to be a lap dog (I love to curl up on the couch and put my big head on my foster mom's lap whenever she is sitting). When I'm not napping, I love to be cuddled, sometimes my foster mom lets me cuddle with her in bed before I get on the floor for the night. I do love other dogs, but I am not sure I would love to be in a home with a cat (they are fun to play with...maybe too much fun). I have really good manners and I listen well, I could go to obedience classes but I'm smart so I'll learn that stuff really fast. I am a very loving dog would make a great family pet, and am ready to be adopted! Could you be my furever home?
The first step to the adoption process is the application . Please, if you have room in your heart, take a look at my buddy here!


giant wet kisses for you all,
 Roscoe

Note: The photo's of this dog were taken directly from the website of the Great Dane Rescue. Please help her or another homeless pet today!

Well it is that day mommy calls hump day again! I can't believe my blog is a week old.....time just flew by. I know it's nuffin to you seasoned ol timers but to me it's a big deal! :)

One of mommy and daddy's favorite places to go is Brown County State Park ! They go here several times a year! Mommy says it is one of the most beautiful places on earth! And it's practically in our backyard!
They have all kinds of critters in the park :)




And we can hike on trails and camp and swim and run and ...whew...Im tired now just thinking about it.

Do you have a favorite place you like to go?? Tell us all about it, better yet...show us!!! :D

Mommy says I'm lucky, that I have great pet parents and a great home. I'm a very spoiled boy everyone says. My angel brother Zeus was too. And my mommy fosters so she can keep a doggy out of the bad kill places. So I thought if I could share the news about one of my buddies who needs to find their furever home...I should. Maybe some peoples will see them and decide they want this doggy to be theirs! So for my first homeless friend... my foster sister Fiona!

giant wet kisses for you all, Roscoe

So mommy says there isn't much for me to do today. It's a lazy Sunday! She has to go off to the place called work again, so I get to lay on her bed in the AC and sleep! I like Sundays! Daddy might take us out back for some running time but not sure as its going to be a really super hot day again here in Indy.

How do you spend your Sundays?
