Nung-nung's TV Debut on Kare11!!

Getting some lovin'
from anchor Pat Evans of Kare11

So I had my big TV debut yesterday on the Kare11 Today show with my rescuer Karen Good of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and mom. We arrived at the studio at around 9:30 to meet up with Karen and a couple other Red Lake Rescue friends ... mom thought it would be a good idea for me to hang out and check out the joint and meet all the nice people, so we did. I was especially fascinated when I found this mirror in the makeover room and I couldn't stop staring at myself!! :) Check out the photos below ... but first, here's the video from yesterday ...

Mom was really proud of me. She said I did a fine job representing the dogs of Red Lake. Of course, what I say to her is, "would you expect anything less from me ... aka nung-nung ... aka Queenie??" :)

It was so much fun being on TV and I hope that I get another chance to be on TV ... and thanks again to Bubbly Paws for getting me all ready for my big TV debut!!! My next blog posting is going to be about the big fundraiser that I'm doing with Bubbly Paws to raisse donations for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and my friends up north!

YES, i'm quite intrigued by myself :)

With my rescuer Karen Good!!

Spa Day at Bubbly Paws - Big TV Debut tomorrow!!

Smelling pretty and feeling soft!! :)

Today is a big day for me ... I have to get ready for my big Kare11 TV debut tomorrow. I'm going to be on TV with my rescuer Karen Good of Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. My rescuer Karen is one of the Kare11 Eleven Who Care volunteer winners. [Check my previous blog for more info]. She asked my mom if I could be an ambassador for the Red Lake rez dogs ... of course mom said YES!!! The show is going to be live and it starts at 11 AM tomorrow, Monday, 3/28 and I think we're going to be on at around 11:30 AM so be sure to have your TV on to Kare11 if you live in Minnesota. If you're not home i'm hoping it will be taped and I can post the link on my facebook fan page. Be sure to also check out the Red Lake Rosie's blog. They'll have more info, plus they have really cool stories about all the great rez dogs and cats!!

So my Uncle Keith who owns this really, really cool business called Bubbly Paws (self-service dog wash AND spa!) invited me to come in for a special spa treatment today so that I would look my best, feel soft and smell yummy ;-) The self-service dog wash is cool and mom is going to bring my brother Mister in soon and do the self-service dog wash with him ... but me, nung-nung (aka queenie) does not want the self service dog wash. Nung-nung wants the full-service spa treatment!!! :) and boy did I get it!! Mom took a ton of pictures so she made a video (check the video out below!)

And you know what else, because I LOVE my rescuer Karen Good and thinks she's the coolest person in the world (okay, she's a close second to mom!) I told mom that we need to organize a fundraiser for Red Lake Rosie's so I can help my friends up north looking for homes. I'll post more about our fundraiser in the next couple of days but just know that Bubbly Paws, Nung-Nung (and mom!) are teaming up to raise donations for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and it's going to be happening in April!! Stayed tuned for more details!!

My rescuer Karen: Eleven Who Care Winner!

My rescuer Karen Good has been picked as one of the winners for the Kare11 Eleven Who Care Award.

"Eleven Who Care honorees are volunteers who exemplify the belief that one person can make a difference. They go above and beyond to help those in need, to improve the environment around them and to make our community better."

This was me when I was first rescued by Karen
in October 2008

I'm so happy to see my rescuer Karen getting the recognition she deserves. Of course, she's such a humble person and she works so hard for us because she loves us so much and not because she wants any recognition. I believe she's the Mother Theresa of animals and I owe her my life. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be alive, or I'd still be suffering out in the cold .... and because of her she brought me and mom together. Now I get to sleep on the couch or one of the many, many dog beds that we have in every room of our house!!

So dear Karen ... congratulations on being selected as one of the Eleven Who Care winners!!

Back to work ... hospice volunteer work

After a short leave from my volunteer work with mom I'm back at it again!! Mom had some health issues herself that she had to deal (along with a bunch of other stuff!!) so my job was to take care of her for a few months. She tells me I get an A+++!! :) But now it's time for me to get back to work!

We are back volunteering as a Pet Partner team in hospice and we got our latest 'assignment'. My new friend 'M' has breast cancer and mom says she's getting weaker and weaker so we need to go visit her as soon as possible. She hears that 'M' loves chocolate and pies so guess what ... we're going to bring her some yummy chocolate when we go visit with her. Mom tells me we can go on Saturday so i'm resting up right now for my big day back to work.

Big hugs to all of you from nung-nung.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Mom tells me it's Valentine's Day today ... I tell mom it should be Valentine's Day every day, why just today? Shouldn't we always love each other? Shouldn't we always be nice to each other? Shouldn't we always give lots of hugs and kisses to each other (and for you humans, yes you can give each other chocolate too!! Hey, I like chocolate too but mom tells me it's not good for me and my tummy or my body so I guess i'll take her word on it) ...

So today, like every other day of the year ..... do what we should be doing every day of the year ...

LOVE, LAUGH, PLAY, SLEEP and HAVE FUN!!!

Unconditional Love ...

Mom and a Pet Haven fellow volunteer/friend have been going to the Pet Haven adoption events and taking photos. This past weekend they got photos of my friends (yes both dogs and cats!!).

Valentine's Day is around the corner and mom wanted to create a video to highlight my sweet friends who are still waiting for that special person(s) who will open up their heart and their home. In case you don't know, we (and I speak on behalf of all dogs and cats .... yes, I have been given the authority to do so!!!) love unconditionally. We love our humans no matter what. We don't care if you've taken a shower, if you stink (if fact, we like that better!), if you haven't brushed your hair or your teeth, if you're feeling sad (in fact, we'll come snuggle up next to you). We can also be your best teachers --- teaching you to live in the moment, to play, to rest and get LOTS of sleep.

If you have a few minutes, watch this video that mom created ... and help us spread the word about all my homeless friends who are still waiting to find a home of their very own ....

oh ... and for Valentine's Day don't forget to give your furkids an extra treat!!! :) But NO chocolate even if we ask for it!!! :)
