Our first postcard creation for the Pet Postcard Project is complete! The postcard features Teeny (short for Marteeny) and his human, Katy. Together, with Katy’s husband, Todd, they run Teeny’s Friends. It’s a charity that provides toys for dogs that are less fortunate than some of us. Teeny’s Friends is having a September Toy Drive right now, so be sure to check out how you can help here.
Please keep your pet photos and sentiments coming (email Scout here)! We have 29 more postcards to create to reach our goal of 30 pounds of food for shelter dogs. Thanks for your help with this project!

There are lots of dogs and cats on Twitter. While lurking one day, I discovered the Pet Postcard Project. Writer
Nikki Moustaki created the project to help raise awareness and feed shelter dogs. For each postcard sent via US Mail, one pound of dog food will be provided to animal shelters. Rachael Ray’s Nutrish brand is the current sponsor of donating the food and all of Rachael’s proceeds for Nutrish dog food go directly to
Rachael’s Rescue.
My contribution to this worthy cause is asking pet owners to send photos and sentiments about their pets directly to me (and RiverDog Prints) via email and we will create a postcard for each day of the month of September. Together, we can give shelter animals 30 more pounds of food by month’s end.
If you have a pet and you’d like to participate, you can send your pet’s photo and a sentiment about your pet to
scout@riverdogprints.com. We’ll both be tweeting about it, so follow us on Twitter
@ScouttheDog and
@RiverDogPrints.

Welcome to my first post.
I’m Scout the dog, also known as “Scooter;” “Princess Click-Click;” “Good Girl;” and “Hey!” among other names. I share my home with Shoes on the Floor, A-Dog, Little Feet and Preemie Feet. I’m kind of a country dog – don’t really get along with my leash. But Shoes on the Floor (let’s call him Shoes for short, as my paws get tired from typing) and A-Dog usually find places to take me that don’t technically require a leash.
That’s a little bit about me. I’ve started this blog to share some inside information from the dog world. Hope it helps you and your humans!
A-Dog and Shoes sometimes call me “The HugBuster.” When they get lovey and hug, I like to insert myself between them. They usually laugh when I do this, so of course, I’m going to do it every time. And I do it why? Well, this is not a Hug Bust in my eyes, this IS how I hug. Dogs don’t like traditional human hugs, but we love affection, and this my way to hug them. I’m glad they like it, even if they don’t understand it.
Here endeth the doggie lesson – woof!
