Our pal Norwood surprised us with a very special gift for this Saturday’s Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation Downtown Dog Walk – a bear bell just like the Nordude wears! He asked that Rusty wear the bell, so that is what is happening. And since Twink suggested we should be practicing our walking rather than Siberian Husky Calisthenics, so we went out for a walk, too. The combined result is in this video:
P.S. – Khyra, I believe this counts as a Walking Wednesday video, too, though we recognize that this is really Whitney’s Whicked Whednesday.

Our deepest condolences on the loss of Bear-Bear. In case you do not know the story, here is the article from The Baltimore Sun as of Tuesday evening.
Why am I suddenly craving a Budweiser?
Oh man!! You guys are really making me wish for winter now!!

Bear Bear’s story is tragic! What did that poor dog do to deserve that?
Oh and I do love all your dogs walking together in a straight line!!
Keep on hopping!
Hugz&Khysses,

PeeEssWoo: Mom says thanks fur sharing Bear-Bear’s story here – the nice Mary Lady from Charlotte khalled Mom to talk about it too – we told her you had shared it with HS – she’s got some khontakhts of her own – she’ll be letting them know about it too
YOu guys look so smart all walking in a jingling line!
You guys must be pretty well behaved, I bet you all could take your human on the ride of his life if you wanted too 
Licks and lots of slobber,

Great jingles Rusty. Love the 6 in a line, well done the herd.
How on earth did that policeman not get into trouble for shooting an innocent dog, what was he doing walking to the dog park with a gun?? What a horrible man, wonder how gun happy he is when he is on duty??!! Sadly the police always stick together. The whole incident is very upsetting, what a waste of a beautiful dog. It makes me sick, the poor family.

I think the blogging community is reeling from the news of Bear-bear. Just how safe are our dogs?
P.S. – the video is very tinkly and cheerful!

Every time I hear Norwood’s bell, I just love it! Rusty wears it so well! Now Bunny’s going to pester me to ask Norwood where he got it, I just know it. Perhaps between the Siberian muscle and the Greyhound speed the dogs can put Santa’s reindeer out of work!
Roo Roo YaROoooster!Jingle Bell Boy! With you wearing the bell it sounds like snow and christmas are right around the corner… well and a bud. Ha ha. Yipee I’m so excited! And nice synchronized walking so we can get a full shot of the entire herd. I just hope no one is jealous that Rooster boy gets to wear the bell.
Oh that story about Bear Bear is awful. What a MF-ing Moron. That cop should at least loose his job or perhaps get charged with a crime? Band of brothers working here. So incredibly sad.
Oh for your readers- I purchased the bear bell from cleanrun.com it’s $3.50.. very reasonable if anyone else cares to warn prey in advance or just jingle.

Nice synchronized walkies you has going there!
Our dogs wear bear bells too! I’m so happy for the herd that they’ll jingle as they walk!!!!! I’m also glad to hear that you’ve been practicing your walking so you don’t embarrass all your sponsors
Our bear bells have worked beautifully in warning off bears before our dogs arrive. When K was a 8 month old teenager, she chased a bear out of the woods and straight at us. Obviously, we’re all still here to talk about it so it was OK. It’s never happened again, likely partly due to her bell.
I didn’t post it so as NOT to humiliate a neighbor but I caught wildlife video of her dog chasing a bear. She’s getting a bell for her dog and is staying away from the berry patch until later this fall. It feels good that my wildlife cams can actually help the bears a little.
“Jingle bells, jingle bells… jingle all the wayyyyyy…”
All we need now is some snow! Oh… snow. Sigh. Wouldn’t that be great?!?!
Hey, Rusty! You could get a job with those Salvation Army bell-ringer guys!
Play bows,
Zim
Great video! Bella’s tags jingle when she walks, but the bell is much cooler!
Christmas bells – just what we needed to help us feel cooler. Great addition to the pack’s jingles. And the added feature of helping you know which one is Rusty, just in case you ever forget:)
So sad to hear that story of Bear Bear. We hope justice is served to the shooter.

Hu-Dad, how on earth did you manage to train 6 huskies walking nicely in a straight line without dragging you everywhere? Can you please share your secret with me?
I hope the authorities will find justice for Bear Bear. This is so tragic and I hope that idoit officer gets his punishment. He should be banned from carrying a gun. He’s a nutter!
Love,
The Missus
PS: We want to get the bells too!
Very, very cool, Rusty is walking proud. Is Christmas almost here, we think our coat thickened up a little.
We are totally disgusted by the Bear-Bear story and hope the monster gets what is coming to him.
Remy and Flash
That bell could get awfully annoying after a while
Go Rusty!
I almost looked around for Santa! It sounded just like reindeer.
Kat
PS. The Bear-Bear story makes us sick.
Where is he? i can hear him!!! oh wait, not woo too Rusty! oh no. NORWEEEEEED!!!!

Rusty will be perfect leading Sarge’s Parade with the bells announcing the Herd’s approach! It will build antici…………………..pation!
That was so nice of norwood!
