This Weeks 'Star Dogs of the Week' Are...

*Clipper!*












This is my baby girl "Clipper". She is a long-haired dachshund. I have had her for 4 years. She has seizures and has also lost a lot of her hair due to allergies, but she is still beautiful to me. She doesn't really like when I dress her up, but she's too lazy to attempt to get them off..lol...She sleeps in the bed with my son on her own pillow and she has to be covered up or she lays there and whines. She is such a baby!


*Mammy!*















Short for Mammoth, is the biggest of 6 puppies born 10 weeks ago to my Shelty/Pom/Eskimo Dog sired by a purebred Bichon Frise. She is a total Star Dog! Love your Smack!

*Ozzy!*















Thanks Spicy.
Ozzy - Dachshund
He's 5. He is extra special to me because he was my son's dog and I lost my son in 2002 at 16. At the end of his life he was in a wheelchair and this little critter sat draped across his shoulders like a little kolinsky fur wrap. They were inseparable. Needless to say I feel like I've still got a little piece of my son with me every time I see the little lovebird. He was my son's best friend. It is amazing what animals can do for people, esp. when they are ill. A "furry little chill pill" if there ever
was one.
Thanks! -'MetalSlut'


*Pete & Gwendolyn*



I have two dogs, so I sent you both of their pics and you can choose which one should be the star, because I can't!
The dark red doggie is Pete, and he's a 5 year old golden retriever
The beautiful blonde is Gwendolyn, and she's a 7 year old golden retriever.
Thanks -Nicole

*Bobby!*














This is Bobby. He's a 10 lb., mix of Poodle and Bichon Frise. He's 9 months old and loves tissues, and worn socks. He's brought some much needed laughter into my life (dealing with a separation...) He thinks he's a huge guard dog, but is always happy to meet new people.


*Cooper Ray!*















This is Cooper Ray (actually, her full name is Cooper Martha Carmen Shiri Ursula Ray - she gets a new middle name for every birthday). Cooper is a pussycat of a chow-lab-collie-retriever mix. She was found in a box with her siblings as a puppy, and was fostered through a rescue organization. We adopted her when she was 6 months old (she's now 4). She's a certified therapy dog, gives gentle little kisses, squints when she's happy, and sings (ok, well, howls) like an opera star. She is freakishly gentle with chew toys - she carries them around like babies, and still has the first toy we ever bought her. She's a sweetheart of a dog, and we love her to bits!



*Breck!*




















This is Breckenridge Roper-Nikitaras. He's our my three month old Boxer puppy. I grew up with a female boxer, Maggie, who went to play in the forever park with her older brothers last summer at the age of 12 and I was devastated! I didn't think I could fall in love with another baby so soon...but we found Breckenridge online in Lamar, Missouri, and made the 10 hour drive from Chicago with my fiance to pick up our new "baby" on July 1, 2007. Our Breck was 8 weeks old and came with a heart murmur, which he fortunately has outgrown. He is constantly growing- due to be about 90 pounds- and is wonderful and the light of our life. He sits on my lap while I drink coffee and read CelebritySmack every morning and we would love to see his picture up on your site one day!



*Fanny!*
















Hello! I have attached a picture of my Lhasapoo puppy. Her name is Fanny Ziegfeld Brice (Fanny for short) and she is 1 year and five months old.


*Sassy!*

This is Sassy Lee in one of her younger days. She is approximately twelve years old now. She was adopted from the Humane Society at about one year of age. Sassy is a dachshund/beagle mix. The people at the Humane Society called her the "Flying Nun"...I'm sure no explanation is needed as to why they chose that moniker! This picture is posted at the bottom of our refrigerator (dog eye level) to remind Sassy she doesn't need that extra snack, as her metabolism isn't what it used to be. Love her to death...she's my baby.

******************

Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of their babies! I am still posting dogs from last August, yes, it's true, I have months worth of Star Dogs to post still! So I will be posting five dogs a week until I get caught up a bit. Thanks for your patience!

Hunter Needs Our Help!

Hunter is a one-year-old fawn male that came to Lone Star Boxer Rescue through the help of a good samaritan.

Hunter was hit by a car, and although we are not completely sure of what all this poor guy has been through, the x-rays lead us to believe his two breaks were over a week old by the time he came to us.

Bless his heart, he had to endure horrific pain before he was rescued.

He has numerous gouge marks in his side, possibly from an attack by another dog, and is being treated for sarcoptic mange as well.

This young guy is a real trooper; with all the pain he is in and his horrible skin condition, he is very sweet and good natured. He seems to do okay with other dogs, but more evaluation is needed. He hasn't yet been evaluated around cats. He is crate trained, but we do not know if he is housetrained at this point.

Hunter will require surgery with an orthopedic surgeon to repair the break. Because the break is one to two weeks old and some calcification of the bones is involved, we are not sure how involved the surgery will be. But we feel certain Hunter will make a full recovery with the caring surgeon and staff we have working with him.

LSBR is doing all we can to help Hunter recover, but we need your help as well. If you can contribute toward his medical expenses, we - and Hunter - would be so grateful.
