Pups of the City!

Look at those big beautiful eyes! Lennie is ready to take on the day!

On the other hand, Ariel is ready to take on a nap!
Come on, A! It's beautiful out!

These sisters are really enjoying this Ohio 'winter'.

Piper has also been catching up on Alfred Hitchcock movies. Can you tell?

"I hope she's not getting any ideas!!"

Sad Eleanor. She is on a solo walk. She misses her friends.

There's no one to kiss..well, her dog walker but he doesn't count!

Another tyke, Buddy, likes to perch himself way up high.

Ariel announces to the world what she has been up to.

Pika love.

Lane watches the lunchtime traffic from her vantage point.
She sometimes enjoys giving a good bark (and scare).
I see a future in the haunted house industry for this pup!

Mid-bark.

"Is it too much to ask for some attention?!"

How can you say no to this face?

Mr. Percy loves the camera..and blocking out his brother!

Aw, that's better! Thanks Diesel for straightening out the situation.

It's time to wrap up the walk!
The boys want to wish you very good day!
Woof!

The Backstory

2010 marked a new beginning in my life. It was the year that I forged a new path centered on what I love: community. This included launching a pet care business as well a non-profit start-up called Besa.

Besa in an online platform that connects people to social causes. With Besa, you have access to localized and relevant content on hunger, homelessness, veteran affairs, student achievement gaps, animal welfare and countless other epidemics impacting the Columbus community. A dynamic database of 1,600 Columbus-based charities enables you to make more informed choices as you seek to contribute to the betterment of our community.

I'm excited to announce that Besa is launching June 2012!

Learn more about Besa and stay up-to-date on our progress by connecting with us on Facebook.


Please consider supporting us!

Besa is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. We are $2,000 away from a fundraising goal of $20,000, which will be used to fund our initial launch. I hope you'll consider contributing to the development and success of Besa during this final stretch. If you are unable to make a donation, please consider re-posting this message on your Facebook wall and reaching out to those in our community that would be interested in this project.

Thank you for considering Besa as a means of engaging in the social causes that impact our community.

Kind Regards,

Origin of Besa
Besa is born out of the belief that we can work together to overcome our differences and solve the problems that plague our community. The origin of the term, besa, resides in Albanian culture. It is based on the principle that communities should protect the less fortunate from harm.

Pups of the City!

Bagel, it's a sunny February day. Why are you in such
a rush to get home?

Ah, you just want to spend the day in bed with your 7 toys!

Proper hunting techniques brought to you by Ariel & Eleanor

Lesson 1: Make sure to get deep into the piles of leaves. You never know
what  treasures are ripe for discovery!

Lesson 2: Cover twice as much ground by working in teams.

Yorkies in the City: Ariel, Buddy and Odie

"You know what would make downtown a true destination?"

"A dog bakery! I need more treats."

"Don't listen to that devilish Odie. He steals all my food!"

Buddy! How can anyone take something from such an
adorable pup!? Bad Odie!

We had an adventurous weekend with these two pups!
Digging tunnels into the neighbor's yard, shredded doggy beds, mom's
shoe becoming the newest dog toy and shopping bags turned into confetti.

And after all of that, they still make it into your heart. It's hard to show
anything but love for our companions.

Another downtown duo! Pika & Lane.

Kiss kiss for Miss Miss.

Uh oh..it's the dynamic duo!

But Piper is on the Maggie train today.

Maggie enjoys the attention. It's the Hollywood in her!

'Acting' bashful.

The pack stands for a photo shoot!

Maggie shows off some acting skills. She's up for a spot as Falkor in the play
rendition  of Never Ending Story. This is an example of her Falkor laugh.

This is how she would look flying as Falkor.

"All of this acting talk makes for a hungry Lennie."
Don't be fooled, food is always on Lennie's mind!

"My kiss partner, Piper, is cheating on me! It drives me to eat!"

What an excuse, Lennie! You know you are loved by all!

Until next time..Woof!

Sunny Day with Tucker & Johnny

This past weekend brought a visit with a couple new friends, Tucker & Johnny. Tucker is an Australian cattle dog and Johnny is a Boston terrier mix.

Until next time..woof!

Friday Pups!

Lilly & Izzy Bean welcome you to the Friday blog!

Eleanor is over the chaotic weather. Where's Spring?

An Alfie sandwich is in order.

Kisses from Piper!

Maggie & Piper!

The Ohio State Pups wish you a very good weekend!
Woof!
