The best place to work on earth!

TAME has to be the greatest place to work on earth. Not only do we get to photograph and write about all things pet related, we get to work surrounded by an office full of critters everyday.

This photo shows Connie is holding three babies at once. Chacho, Lilly Bella and Koda. Koda is Steph's mom Pam's dog. We were puppy sitting for her while they were on vacation.

Stop in and see us sometime - We would love to meet you!

And, we guarantee there will be several 4-legged greeters who will be glad you did!

Meet Samantha Sunshine

TAME has a new foster girl. Meet Samantha Sunshine. When she was rescued, she was terribly skinny and had lots of sores and scratches. She is responding to love and care and is healing and gaining weight. We think she is a lab/dane mix. She's going to be a BIG girl. We estimate her to be about 70lbs now and to be about a year to 1 1/2 years old. She will be ready for a forever home soon, so share information about her with anyone you know who would like to have her in their family.
Interested families can email us at: editor@tamepetmag.com

Isn't she absolutely gorgeous??

Lilly Bella learns to Kayak

Lilly loves camping. Last weekend we took her with some friends of ours to the Buffalo River. She got a chance that many 4lb poodles never get - to kayak! After securing her safely into her pink, polka dotted life jacket she was ready to go. Ron Walker - who builds custom wood kayaks - gave Lilly Bella a ride in his latest creation - the spot in back was perfect for holding a small dog so they can ride along and enjoy the view. Thanks Ron!

Senior Pets! Share pictures of yours.

Know a senior pet? We want to meet them them. TAME knows how special these animals are to their families. Share a story and pictures of the older pet in your life.

Pet Birthdays! How do you celebrate?

Hey TAME Friends! Tell us what you do to celebrate pet birthdays! Some reader comments may be printed in the magazine for Fall!

When Lilly Bella turned 1, Allye made pink and black cupcakes and arranged them in the shape of a poodle. Everyone in the office ate cupcakes and sang happy birthday to her. Lilly enjoyed her own special doggie treats.

Sadly, I can't find the picture of the party, but it was really cute.

Coco Chanel joins the TAME family

Putting for Pups will always be a memorable event for two individuals at TAME. One is Steph and the other is her new baby, Coco Chanel. It only took 2 minutes for Steph to fall in love with this adorably unique 6 month old Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix. After the event, Steph brought Chacho - her first dog - to Canines and Cats Adoption Center where Coco Chanel was currently living. She wanted to see how Chacho would feel about having a baby sister. They got along right away and make such cute pair of fur-kids. As for the rest of us at TAME, it's so fun to have a new baby at the office.

Putting for Pups on Saturday

Where you find pets, people and fun you will most likely see the TAME team! None of us want to miss out on the fun where pets are concerned. This weekend is no exception. We plan to be at Blue Sky Feed in Ozark to enjoy the FUNdraiser they are hosting with the Killuminati Foundation from 10-2. The event is called Putt for Pups and a prize is on the table worth $500!!!

Adoptable dogs will also be at the event. Come show your support, love on the pups and maybe go home with some serious CASH!

For more info, email the Killuminati Foundation. http://thekilluminatifoundation.org/

Found this picture of Chacho

Oh my goodness - I recently came across this picture of Steph & Chacho from his "puppy days". Those of you who know him now will enjoy this picture! Isn't he adorable?? And soooo tiny!!!

Hogs for Dogs

TAME was on hand to take pictures and meet really cool dog lovers at Hogs for Dogs on July 12. This event raised over $7000 for CARE, an area rescue shelter. Thank you Denny's Harley Davidson for hosting this annual event and helping those who can't help themselves. You rock!

Look for more pictures on our gallery and in the next issue of TAME due out in September.

Hard Hat Party

We were excited to be invited to the SW Missouri Humane Society's Hard Hat Party recently. The new facility is really nice and will be able to handle a lot more dogs & cats than the old one. Thanks for the invite!!

Our "Fat Boy" Harley

This is Harley, TAME's pet mouse. TAME adopted one of Allye's babies (she journals about them in the summer issue). He's a really sweet mouse. And, as you can see, he loves the magazine! :) http://tamepetmag.com/issues/ask-allye
