CAROL LARIMER MCLAUGHLIN PRESENTS "JOEY"
My real name is "Brier’s
Angel in the Outfield" but everybody calls me "Joey". I was born on February, 2008 in Woodburn, Oregon, and
I have 12 brothers and sisters. My mom is Lucy and dad is Ozzie from Dexter, Oregon. My litter was called the "Ball"
litter, so in keeping with the theme, my forever family probably named me for Joe DiMaggio, a famous baseball outfielder.
Honestly though, I think they named me "Joey" because of all my energy and jumping up on everything and never being
still unless I was sleeping! (Joey is a baby kangaroo).
As a puppy, I enjoyed a close
relationship
with my siblings.
I hope you can find me in this picture.

My home is in Milwaukie, Oregon and is a tri-level
home. I love running up and down the stairs and I skip several steps at a time so I can beat anyone going up or down. I am
a hunting dog; my mom hides treats (3 calories a piece) all over the house and I find all of them in record time. We also
play games where she hides somewhere in the house and I find her! I am a therapy dog; I love to cuddle and let strangers pet
me. If I behave, I get to go to Home Depot, Lowes, JoAnns, Sears-- most any store that doesn’t have food in it. So I
wait in my kennel in the car at Costco and the grocery stores. Mom says I’m her therapy because I always know when she’s
not feeling 100% and I stay close to her.
I needed to learn to talk so I could remind my folks when it’s
time to eat and time to play. They understand me. I could easily be vegetarian because I eat lots of veggies and fruits. Cooked
carrots and blueberries are my favorite. We now have 5 blueberry bushes because I can help pick when they are ripe!
There’s never a dull day in my life! I’ve been told I was born with a smile on my face. I’m glad because
I love to make everyone happy. I get my feelings hurt easily when I get scolded for not listening. Then I get lots of loves.
Life is good!
My family is preparing to spend part
of the year in
Southern California.
I do not intend to be left behind.
BARRY WOOD: MAX'D OUT ???
Max is a wonderful dog for
us. We had been looking for a family dog for a long time. We found Max at the pound when he was just 8 weeks old. There were
9 puppies in the litter and they told us that they were German Shepherd and Terrier mix but I think he is more Lab.

Max is pure black with
light blue eyes. Quite a mix. And he is big…I weighed him last week and he is
coming in at 140 Lbs. He weighs more than my 13 year old grand son! Sheila wanted a small -to- middle size dog. She is
not a “Happy Camper” We take Max to the River every year. He loves
the water. This year, out at the sand bar, Max was digging a lot of holes. Late in the afternoon we could tell he wasn’t
feeling very good. We found a vet and took him into town. The Vet did an X-ray and Max was totally full of sand! He had been
eating sand the whole time. The vet had never seen anything like it. He gave Max an IV and laxatives and Max was pooping sand
for a week. I have a lot more sand in my back yard now.
Max is our “Gentle
Giant” and the best dog in the whole world.
....Barry
