Amy was lost Friday June 11. Amy was last sighted around 4 pm close to Withrow and Harris Place. She was trying to be coaxed by 2 nice ladies who were trying to rescue her. Witness accounts say she was tagged by a car at low speed but still very mobile and ran off with the 2 ladies trying to catch her. Bylaw has not had any recent sightings of her. So I am hoping the 2 ladies were able to rescue her. Both Emergency Vets in town have no reports of a Malinois being admitted. The SPCA as well have had no news on Amy either.

I got this email from a co-worker today. Her brother-in-law’s Doxie has adopted an orphaned kitten!

“Heidi is my son’s sausage dog, very lovable, and loves sleeping with you. Slept with me when I was there. There is a wild cat that had kittens and all of them very died except this little one in the photos. The mother abandoned it, and my son brought it home. They fed the little kitten out of an eye dropper, and after it perked up a bit, Heidi took over. She can’t nurse it, but is trying to do everything else. It is a lovely sight.” ~ Halina (Heidi’s Grandma)

I am a fan of unconventional dog names – I constantly say “hey that would make a cool dog name” and them promptly forget what it was. I’ve decided to start this dog names post and I’ll update it as I think of more names that I like.

(Ottawa Dog of the Week for July 21/08)

“This is my new puppy Jorja (pronounced Georgia). She is a 10 week old female Canaan Dog. I believe she is the only one in the area – the closest Canaan is in Montreal. We got her from a breeder in Minnesota.

She is a very well tempered puppy (surprisingly), loves to play and chew on her toys and bones and tries to ‘herd’ me when I walk her. She is definitely a “Go, go, go … sleep” dog and is desperately trying to make friends with my cats – the feeling is not reciprocal. I look forward to agility training with her and we’ll see what she can do.” – Jorja’s mom, Sarah

Sarah is wondering if there are any other Canaan dogs in Ottawa – if so please let me know and I will pass on the information!
