wine country dog ezine ™: eBaying wolves

TILIN CORGI 1997-2014

I am Tilin, a Welsh corgi and wine country dog, aka @winecountrydog.

I started pawin the puter and dooin social media in 2008, after I had life-saving back surgery and had to sit-stay to recover. That is when I came to create wine country dog ezine™ — an independent pet-ezine.

My ancient self does have a few health pawblems, but my ortho surgeon gave me a chance to walk again. Other good vets and Mum have helped too. Myself goin wobbly but strong toward 17th BD in November 2014.

Luv to paw-write and tweet, and travel to meet new furriends and nice humans. Some of them write about wine or craft beer or food and health. Wine country has got nommy fresh whole foods and farmers markets. And wine country means most effurrywhere in world these days eh.

You find that my furbro, Jackie Nippers Corgi, does sometimes join me on adventures and on twitter. Our beloved Ani Meezer rarely does.

All three of us were rescued from diffurrent circumstances. Furbro is a "breeder rescue." We doo encourage adoption of furriends from good animal rescue charities.

Howlo. I am Jackie Nippers Corgi (aka pawlitico™).

You may find me on walkies with furbro Tilin Corgi, and out at wine tastings and regional food adventures up and down Pacific coast. Sometimes on social media with furbro. We like to paw-write tasting notes for wine and food.

eBaying wolves

by pawlitico

What an interesting eBay sale by glitteralex:

2 Gorgeous Wolf Pelts Fur White Arctic Black Phase Huge
Extra Bonus FREE Coyote Pelt Long and Soft NO RESERVE!

This auction is for three LIVE pelts! That's right, ON THE ANIMAL! You are bidding to come and pet my animals, right here in Lake Tahoe. Their fur is sumptuous, plus "the boys" enjoy the attention. Way more fun than petting a dead wolf or coyote. We can even brush them and give you some fur to take home - it's great for felting or spinning into yarn. Our animals are gentle and well-trained.

Plus, I'll throw in a nice bottle(s) of wine, a homemade Italian dinner, some 8" telescope viewing, and a nice hike/mountain bike to some local lakes. Also available are basic rock climbing lessons. The package is transferable and has no expiration. All proceeds go to our cohorts at Never Cry Wolf Rescue in Sacramento, CA.

Thank you for bidding to save the wolves....

Such a great idea fur a wolf rescue benefit!

We recommend taking a few moments out of your day to watch this beautiful "Dance of Wolves."

Piccolo Vegeta, a young woman from Finland who loves animals, uploaded this video. It features "The Mummers' Dance" — a song by Loreena McKennitt. Thanks, Piccolo!

Pawnotes: You'd surely enjoy reading about Loreena McKennitt at her site Quinlan Road. Ms. McKennitt reminds us to "Be compassionate and never forget how to love."

Our thanks to Northern California Sled Dog Rescue fur pawmailing us about the eBay sale!
