WELCOME TO DOGWOOD: GOD DOES IT AGAIN!!! JOEY'S FUND ESTABLISHED THRU COMMUNITY ABILITY TO "STEP OUT ON FAITH"

THE EVOLUTION FROM PRINT TO BLOG

For two years, I wrote a newspaper column about the misadventures of the Dogwood pack. Our pack consists of my six dogs ,two cats, and me. We have the Queen and oldest, Lucy the Lab. Then there's my special Child, Charlie, a German Shepherd/lab mix who owns me. My rat terror (I mean terrier) Hines keeps us in check, while Italian grey hound/terrier mix Daisy destroys the furniture. Our sweet cat Pearl, who passed away in August of 2010 from complications brought on by Feline Leukemia, was a lone feline for her short five year existence. When she passed, orange long hair tabby kitty Bart, and Siamese Flame Point Sebastian moved into our hearts.

When we moved to a new town, I was unable to continue the columns, so we decided to stick our paws into the 21st century.
Since the move, TWO MORE sets of paws run the floors at Dogwood. Linus, a little black lab, and Squirt the Chi-Weenie.

Now that we have moved onto blog media, I will keep the mayhem of my fur kids adventures updated as they happen. I also want to post special needs animals and stories about shelters and people who are doing wonderful work for rescue. Since this is no longer edited or censored--you may see images that are a bit more shocking, and read copy that has a bit more venom--so be prepared. Thank you all for reading!!!!!!!!!

GOD DOES IT AGAIN!!! JOEY'S FUND ESTABLISHED THRU COMMUNITY ABILITY TO "STEP OUT ON FAITH"

All I can say --is AIN'T GOD GOOD????????
I'm going to link the wonderful article that appeared in the Leaf Chronicle on Saturday Oct 22 concerning JOEY, his condition, and the FACT THAT THE COMMUNITY has "stepped out on faith" once again to help pay for the surgery on a little dogs legs.
I AM SO PROUD of the LEAF CHRONICLE for covering this story NOT ONLY ONCE--BUT EVEN TWICE!!!!!
THERE WAS EVEN LEFT OVERS from the donated funds!!!!!!!
Per the article:
"So far, Animal Control and Animal Hospital have raised more than $2,300 toward Joey's surgery. It only cost $1,800 to fix his broken legs, but Josephson said she has set up a "Joey Fund" to provide for his ongoing care and the care of other dogs who are afflicted with abuse.

Those interested in donating can mail a check or cash to Montgomery County Animal Control at 616 North Spring Street and indicate the money should go toward the Joey Fund.

Those willing to pay with credit or debit cards can call Animal Hospital and pay on Joey's bill directly."

JOEY'S FUND will be used to help other animals in need who come thru the ANIMAL CONTROL. As a county funded agency, the pound cannot expend monies to animals who are hurt, sick, or suffer abuse--even if they can be saved. THIS FUND will help give those poor creatures a CHANCE to LIVE!!!!
Honestly---I stand in AWE of what is fast becoming an ARMY of people who have decided to STAND UP, STEP OUT, AND GET INVOLVED in the over population,stray, abandoned, harmed AND ABUSED animal problem that Montgomery County has been wallowing in over the past several years. FINALLY--people are starting to take a different look at these innocents, and DO SOMETHING!
I'm not going to preach--just say , THANK YOU GOD, and tell you that if you haven't considered donating your TIME, your PRAYERS, or from your WALLET--PLEASE, consider doing one of the three~!
