3 Little Piggies














Once upon a time
there were three little pigs in a smallish pen.
A group of people showed up one day
and started to build a fence for the little doggy out front.

Soon though,
a lady came over talked to the pigs.
She was kind and had a whole bunch of friends.
Next thing the little piggies knew
there were more people over by them.

Those people put in posts,
stretched more fencing,
all while smiling and giggle a bunch.
Those people weren't regular people,
they were animal heroes.

Next thing they knew,
the little piggies saw the fence right by them torn away.
And WOOSH!
Those little piggies were off.
They ran.
They pranced.
They even did a little jig dance.
The best thing was that they were happy
and had a larger place to graze.

Thanks Fences For Fido.
Those little piggies weren't fidos,
but you saw a need and met it.
That's what love does.

Happy Hooves!

Cupcake~Fido #1000

With Fences For Fido, every fence build is a celebration,
but over the weekend the organization reached a milestone.
On Saturday, March 28, 2015 volunteers gathered
in Gaston, Oregon to unchain the 1000th fido.
How cool is that?!
So many fences constructed throughout Oregon and SW Washington
equals 1000 dogs who have had their lives changed
because people saw and people cared.
This special fence was built for a sweetheart of a dog named Cupcake.
With this fence we not only built a safe place for her to run,
but a safe place for her to play with her favorite humans too.
Enjoy a look into love and the simple things
that people do together that make a difference in the world.

Ranger the BC

I love border collies.
They are the best dogs in the world...
You'd have to be super new to my blog,
if you didn't know that. ;)
And if you are new, WELCOME!
But for all of you new folks,
I ADORE BORDER COLLIES!
So when I heard that there was going to be a fence build for a border collie,
I knew that I would be there.
Actually, I think that all of my FFF family knew that I would be there,
and that I would spend the build with the dog.
They were correct.
I spent the entire time with Ranger.
How could I not?!
Look at this face!
Adorable...
and this sweet boy hadn't played frisbee yet.
So what did I do?
I taught him how to play with a frisbee,
not catch...he still needs practice with that. :)
This was such a great build, with so many amazing people.
Enjoy a look at a fun day in the rain playing with Ranger
and building him a safe place to run.


March 14, 2015-
Volunteers gather in the rain to build freedom for Ranger the sweetheart of a border collie.
Ranger
Ranger is a well-loved Border Collie who needed to be chained outside 
while his people were at work.  
Then when his human heard about Fences For Fido, 
she reached out for help.  
Ranger is now enjoying his days running in his new fence 
thanks to the volunteers at FFF.
Live Life Free, 
Sweet Ranger!
