“Allo, my name is Bouboule. I am a 10 year old male, white Shih Tzu with some charcoal colour on my behind and around my tail. I was adopted at 10 months old by my human parents Louise and Roger. When I first arrived, I didn’t know what grass was so I had to be trained (I was previously trained to go in a litter box).

I arrived in my new home and had two other dogs to play with, that is Piggy and Slinky! I was very happy with them until they both past away within 7 months (2008-09) of each other. I was really sad but Mom & Dad got me two other friends, Libby and Timmy. I love adults and kids.

My favorite game is to steal your shoe when you visit and you have to run after me to retrieve it. Hmmm, I thought humans were supposed to train us but in my case, its the other way around! I am very vocal so when I want something, I let Mom and Dad know! If you dare to disturb me in my sleep, I will growl but I won’t bite…just trying to scare you which never works with my parents. I guess they know me too well by now! I love walking to the park and meeting other dogs but I admit the big dogs scare me! Take a look at
my pictures…am I cute or what!

My mom helped me write this!” – Transcribed by Bouboule’s Mom, Louise

“Stuart is a Shnauzer/Poodle Mix and has been the rock at his Mom’s side ever since he came into her life as a 5 week old puppy. He’s a happy laid back guy who doesn’t care too much for organized dog sports, but loves to curl up on the couch and watch a good home makeover show. He loves is new baby sister, Boogie, and spends most days keeping his Mom company from her home office where she is the founder of a national charity, Fertile Future.

“Hello, my name is Percy. I am a six year old black lab and Chesapeake Bay retriever. I grew up on a farm in the Ottawa Valley, I have moved to Kingston and walked on limestone paths, and then moved to Ottawa in the summer. I have enjoyed going to the Bruce Pit park and meeting new friends!

I like running after smells, rolling in snow, getting dirty and playing with my younger sister, Jupiter the cat. We run around the house after each other then we curl up and sleep together. Life is good!!!” – Transcribed by Percy’s human, Sarah
