Kane is looking for a big dog loving home

Kane is looking for a big dog loving home, This is Kane, he is a grey/blue two year old Neapolitan Mastiff, pictures attached. His previous owner claims he had to go back to China and brought Kane to the vet to have him euthanized. The vet did not agree and is trying to find him a good home, but can not keep him for long.Kane will be neutered soon. He is starting to gain a little bit of weight, he was very very slim, he was probably a neglected back yard dog. He is now up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.Kane needs a new home, with a patient owner who is knowledgeable of giant breeds and the care they require. He will require training and work, he pulls very hard on the leash (probably never saw one before and never been out for regular walks). His situation obviously makes him anxious and stressed, but never barks.The vet can not keep him there for too long. Heaven can wait, and we are really trying to help.The ideal home would be:1. Relaxed and fairly quiet atmosphere2. Strong and experienced dog handler. 3. Loving, gentle and firm4. No other dogs in the home.Behavior around children or other animals is unknown.If you know of someone that could give Kane a good home, please contact Dalia at 604-376-7101 or daliatauber@shaw.ca Or forward this email to spread the word ... thanks!

Another great recommendation from our friends Michelle & Peter

I am so happy that I finally found a dog hiking service that I can trust to take care of my pooches and show them a great time, but also treat my dogs as well as they treat their own dogs. The owners of Boneheads are clearly experienced with dogs, and I know I can trust them 100% with my two furry babies Daisy and Carson! I used to drop them off at the daycare whenever needed, but found that they never really wanted to go in and were just overly happy to see me at night. With Boneheads, Carson and Daisy are just so excited to leave me in the morning, and they come back from the hikes well exercised and happy puppies! I highly recommend Boneheads for anyone who wants the best for their dog. Four paws up from Daisy and Carson!

Decorating the Shaggy Wag'n

Thanks to Vic's awesome help with the vinyl cutting and Ruy, Mara, and all our friends support and input, we were able to decorate our pup mobile. Here are some shots of the progress.

Creating a fun design was quite a challenge. We had to learn how to use Illustrator, and man it's an amazing tool! Thanks again Jer for the excellent tutelage. It took also a big effort to figure the parts and pieces, for each color has to have it's own file (you can imagine how much fun it was to make the dog faces). But even better than that was the "fun" of putting the puzzle together and figuring which goes with what.

Once that was done, you put them on a giant roll of masking tape and cut the pieces out. Then the REAL fun starts, specially in rainy Vancouver, when you actually put it on the car. Wash, clean, wipe, spray, soap ... slap on the art piece. Work around the cracks and holes, get the bubbles out, take the masking tape off without getting the paint off the car ... tough.

It is not done yet, we are still in the process of cutting some of the vinyl we are missing. But now we understand why when we quoted the work externally it was soooo expensive. But it is custom made to our desire and it is loaded with love and dedication. Over all: great experience! :D

Big Dog Lover's MeetUp Group

Have you ever wondered what your pooch does with Boneheads? Why don't you join the Big Dog Lover's MeetUp group? 

We organize hikes and gatherings with dog owners all over the Lower Mainland to promote socialization amongst dogs and humans. It is a great opportunity to meet other dog aficionados and to see your pal in action. We like to share the fun we get to have with your dogs while you are working ;)

Btw, this is free and anybody can join here.
