This Month's Man Behind the Bitch ~

Zac Crickenberger

What really makes a lady swoon? A man who freely and openly loves dogs and will do anything for them. A man who will make sure an "I live in a Southern Climate" basset hound doesn't get their paws cold in a freak  snowstorm. A man who will carry a not so nimble pooch up a steep flight of steps or kiss a dog full on the lips in front of his own human brothers. Talk about a catch. Let's talk about Zac!

Zac likes to make out with hounds.

Zac is 24 years old and married to long time Lucky Fiona fan Leslie. When first married in June of 2007 the happy couple had just 4 pooches, but big hearts for dogs in need soon added to their brood. The dog lovin' couple reside in the great state of Georgia with at any time 8 to 10 to something like 256 dogs. (just kidding,it's somewhere around 10) Leslie and Zac are rescuers who work very closely with the good folks at Basset Hound Rescue of Georgia . Their happy home is filled with golden retrievers, hounds of course and a wiley dachshund named Kirby. Most of the clan are permanent residents and some fosters, but all are loved equally. 
By day Zac is ironically a postal carrier which is traditionally a career choice where one fears dogs. Not this Southern Gentleman, he's all about the pups. Leslie reports she often swoons when Zac cuddles with failed foster attempt Mr. B and Zac literally drapes the dog over him for the simple reason it makes B very happy.

A guy who rescues and loves dogs with every ounce of his being? That's Zac. We thank Leslie for nominating him and we are proud to say Zac is one AWESOME "Man Behind the Bitch"

When it Comes to Dog People Good Prevails...

You'd look this bad too if you sat outside all winter.

Just when I had given up hope of finding Lily's lost collar from the dog park last fall (see earlier post) I get a voice mail just a few days after my blog rant. Not only was this fellow park patron kind enough to call, she also left her name and phone number! So kind and concerned she also offered to drop my lost collar in the mail! What a switch from the vague and cryptic message from an earlier caller.

Laney's DogMom is a good egg.

So hat's off to kind-hearted fellow dog lover Amy. She and her sweet pooch Laney found Lily's very sad looking and weathered collar lost last September. Amy put the collar on the gate at the front entrance per my request. Hooray for kind-hearted dog park patrons! This Head Bitch thinks one good act deserves another so I am sending a custom Lucky Fiona collar to Laney as a token of gratitude. Thanks Amy for putting this collar mystery to rest. Hope to see you at the park soon, I'll recognize you by the well dressed dog.
