Hello Friends!
Here are today's Bingo Numbers:
48 . 67 . 71
This week's True Color's theme was Rainbow!
Here's the stuff we found!
The Owners saw a real Rainbow at Niagara Falls!
They were sad to see that there was no pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow.
They also saw this pretty Rainbow colored Butterfly!
At night the falls were lit up with lots of Rainbow colors!
Owner Girl's T-shirts are organized into a T-shirt Rainbow! This box of crayons has every color of the Rainbow!
My collar collection is a Rainbow of colors and styles! And this pupcake I got to eat today had Rainbow sprinkles on it!
It was DELICIOUS!
Blue is the host of this meme. Stop by her blog and let her know if you want to play too!
Next Week's color is CERISE (bright pink)!

Now it's time for more Tibby facts and stories as part of our week long Tibby Day celebration!
OWNER GIRL: Our first stop after picking our new puppy up was the pet store! Since we weren't exactly sure how big she would be, we decided to wait to buy a collar, dog dish, toys, etc. Upon walking into the pet store "puppy" froze and refused to walk! So she rode through the store like royalty in the cart. We bought her first dog toy, a little yellow ducky which we promptly lost the next day during the move. After a quick stop at my sister's to show off the new puppy we headed home - or at least what would be home for one more day. We tried to put her in a crate so she wouldn't have any accidents in the night but her pitiful little cries soon got the best of us and she ended up in the bed snuggled up against my legs. I woke the next day to find she hadn't moved an inch! The day was busy with lots of packing and transporting of boxes. A task that wasn't made easier by constant potty breaks for "puppy", who also refused to walk up or down the stairs on her own. Although it was a stressful day, I must say it was only made easier by the sweet puppy that was fast becoming my shadow.
If you can't tell we still hadn't decided on a name for our new addition and were calling her Pup-pup or Puppy while we considered names like Gabby, Sadie, Shadow and Maisy. Joseph wanted Gabby while I was torn between Tibby and Maisy. As you now know, we settled on Tibby. The name came from Hyundai's sports car, the Tiburon. It seemed to fit given Joseph's love of cars and my love of the unique!
TIBBY: So that's how I got my name! And you learned how I became a bed dog! I was just too cute to resist, BOL!
Here are today's challenge questions:
1. How many collars do I have?
2. Where was my first stop after The Owners got me?
3. Where did my name come from?
Send your answers to me at tibbytales(at)hotmail(dot)com to be entered in our prize drawing!
You could even win a unique collar like the ones I have!
Also, tomorrow we will be sharing some more Tibby facts! Leave a question you'd like answered in a comment and we will do our best to answer it! Plus you'll get another entry to the prize drawing!

I had this article sent in to me regarding the adopting of a puppy or an adult dog that I thought would be helpful to some of the readers of this blog. I receive many questions asking about adoption and this article gives you something to think about before making a choice.
Dog Adoption: Are You Better Off Adopting a Puppy or an Adult Dog by Jim Navary
After a family discussion on the pros and cons you've decided that you want to adopt a family dog. The next decision should be whether you should adopt a new puppy or an adult dog.
Undoubtedly it can be lots of fun having a playful puppy in the house. However, adopting a puppy is a major decision requiring a major time commitment. For the first couple of weeks, both you and your new pup will have to adjust to your new living arrangements. There may be a few sleepless nights in store for both of you. In addition, new puppies must be supervised closely and properly taught what is and is not acceptable behavior. And don't forget housetraining! In some cases this can be a difficult time with numerous "accidents" to clean up. Your patience while housetraining a puppy may be stretched to the limit. Also, young pups love to chew on things. Keep in mind that it may take at least six to eight months for your little buddy to outgrow his chewing phase and another 12 months until he's fully mature.
After giving the idea some serious thought, some people conclude that they may not be able to provide the time and attention that a new puppy deserves. If that's the case, you may want to consider adopting an adult dog instead of a pup.
Many adult dogs have already been housetrained. You'll likely still have a few accidents but it won't take long for the adult dog to learn your rules. Adult dogs are easier to train as they have longer attention spans than excitable puppies. In fact, you may find that they have already learned some basic commands from their previous owners. Choosing an adult dog, you will already be aware of its full size, true personality, and health. As puppies develop, one or more of these traits may end up being a big surprise. An adult dog may be a better choice if you have young children. Older dogs may have already had experience with children and they are much more predictable than puppies. Playing with a new puppy you'll soon discover that they have needle-sharp teeth that can accidentally injure a young child.
Why not consider adopting a canine "senior citizen". Even nine or ten year old dogs can still have many more good years to offer to a loving family. And, for me at least, just knowing that I've rescued an "unadoptable" pooch from probable euthanasia is very gratifying indeed.
Adopting a dog requires your commitment to ensure a happy, healthy partnership between you and your new best friend. However, it can really be great fun and it's definitely well worth the effort!
