Some of you may know that Mum and I have a blog called Rescue Me. We started it about two years ago when Mum would get on Petfinder and look at all the pups and get super sad and want them all. We wanted to do something, anything, that we could to help some of the pups that we couldn't adopt. So we started our blog Rescue Me. Every day we post a dog from a shelter or rescue that needs a furever home, like we have.

When we started the blog, we saw one of the pittie pups at my shelter needed a home. His name was Bosco. We asked the folks at my shelter if Bosco could be our blog mascot. And they said of course! So Bosco became our mascot and was in all of our promotional vids, logos and more.

Over the years the blog has been receiving a pretty good amount of traffic, about 200 visits per day, sometimes up to 600. We're pretty glad that folks come and look at the pups, search and find our blog, and we've heard that some of the pups have found homes, yeah!!!!

For over a year, Bosco was at the shelter, then moved to a foster home, had his named changed to Ernie, but was never adopted. Then one day we found out he finally found his forever home, but we didn't know who adopted him. Then, out of the blue this summer, we got an email from Sandra, Ernie's new Mum.

She had found Ernie's picture in the video that we did at the end of last year to help promote pet adoption. And she emailed us to let us know that Ernie was the first pup in the video and that she had adopted him.

We love talking about Ernie (who is now named Ernie Bosco, after Sandra found out his original name at the shelter) with Sandra. We share all the links to web pages that had Ernie B's picture and more. Sandra told us that he is her first dog as an adult, that he has a great yard to play in, loves people and other pups, and his favorite thing is to slide down a small hill in his yard on his belly.

So this year, when we did our year end video, we dedicated it to Ernie Bosco; our blog mascot and now a much loved and cherished member of Sandra' family.

And we wanted to share our video with you. Better get your tissues ready...Mum cries every time she watches it...
