The littlest Cubs fan!
Ok...he's not so little, but he is a Cubs fan! In honor of Cubs opening week, I had to post this cute, pleasantly plump Pug named Charlie.
Go Cubbies!

Orphans of the Storm
If you're thinking of expanding your (furry) family, head to your local shelter or breed rescue. I'm always singing the praises of adopting, and to help you take the first step, I'm highlighting a Chicago-area shelter. Pay attention- you could find your next four-legged soulmate here!
Orphans of the Storm, one of the country's oldest and largest animal shelters, is located about 30 minutes north of Chicago in Riverwoods. Since 1928, the shelter has been caring and finding loving homes for northeastern Illinois' stray, abandoned, abused and neglected dogs and cats.
Some of the adorable canines available for adoption:
It breaks my heart to see these guys behind bars. Adopt today and change not only their lives, but yours as well!
Orphans of the Storm
2200 Riverwoods Road
Riverwoods (Deerfield), IL 60015
(847) 945-0235
Open to the public for adoptions from 11am to 5pm every day of the year, except major holidays.

Meet the Breed: Bouvier des Flandres
I met these unique pups while visiting Oliver Winery in Bloomington, IN (a winery in Indiana?!). Surprisingly, I enjoyed the wine just as much as the dogs!
The Bouvier des Flandres is a rugged working dog from Belgium. Originally bred by farmers, butchers and cattle merchants for hard labor, the fearless and even-tempered breed has transitioned into a wonderful family friend and guardian. Though the Bouvier is not overly active in the home, he does need plenty of exercise, so country and suburban living suits him well. The breed can weigh between 70 and 110 pounds, and ranges in color from fawn to black, passing through salt and pepper, gray and brindle.
I've always had one question about Bouviers: how do they see??
