Its our little baby monster's birthday today (lol), Saturday December 4th! We can't believe he's 2 already and at the same time has only been with us that long.  Over the last 2 years we have seen and enjoyed many sides of our little Hampton Monroe. Here are just a few pictures that help describe his colorful character:

Happy Birthday Hammie!  Lots of lub, Mummy & Daddy!

2 years ago today Starbuck passed from a very bad cancer, hemangiosarcoma. There was a time when we couldn't even say out lout or write that he had cancer. We thought somehow this non-admission might reverse his diagnosis.  But it didn't. We still miss Starbuck with all our hearts. We still think about what more we could have done or what we should have done. But because of him, we cherish every moment we have now with ZuZu and Hampton. We still believe he is with us and his spirit does live on through Zu and Ham.

We love and still miss you very much Starbuck! xxoo

I've always wanted to go on a volunteer vacation and maybe this is something in our (or your) near future??

If you love dogs and want to visit Thailand, how about trying out this new voluntourism program, organized through Cultural Canvas Thailand.




I would love to do this one day. The only drawback would be leaving our bb's behind! I think I'm going to put a volunteer vacation helping dogs / animals on my bucket list!

For anyone having a bad day, you have to watch this video of a cute dreaming puppy (shown on The Ellen Show)!

Enjoy!

Hi all!
I can't believe its already mid / late October! The year is just flying by! The other day, Dave and I were reflecting on how our little web site has grown since we re-launched it back in January. A few of these include: actually getting the web site up and running again, having our comic featured bi-weekly in The Anipal Times, getting our trademark in Canada and US finalized and the latest is having our t-shirt and Hampton Monroe featured in an online Indian Magazine "Woof!". Its a small feature but a feature none the less! And we are happy for the opportunity to reach out to readers internationally!




We are also having fun with making our videos of the bb's. Dave recently put together a video story about Hampton plotting to steal ZuZu's t.b. Some of the footage really makes me laugh: the scene where Hampton ruins it for himself by lunging out at ZuZu and forgetting about t.b., and the scene where ZuZu is sitting on the armchair all victorious from getting her t.b. back. lol!



If you haven't seen it yet, click here and have a peek at it!

For those of you who have seen us grow from when we first launched back in 2004 and those who just discovered our web site, thank you for visiting us. We hope we can continue to grow and share our story for the love of our pups with you for a long time!

A city in British Columbia, Canada (Richmond) is considering banning puppy sales in pet stores.

See video here. What do you think? Will it stop the evil puppy mills?
