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!!!!!!!!!

FUNDRAISER TO AID JOEYS FUND THIS SATURDAY!

It’s been a week or so since our community rallied around a little dog who had met horrible abuse at the hands of a human. Little seven pound rat terrier, JOEY, had both his front legs broken by a human.

Per the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle, that owner surrendered JOEY to Animal Control because of the expense of helping him.
As the county pound has no funding to help such cases, they are usually considered hopeless and euthanized. They become yet another number in Montgomery County’s hideous statistics of euthanized strays and unwanted animals that fill the records.
But God saw this little animal in need, and he touch the heart of Director Karen Josephson, impressing on her that JOEY could be SAVED!
Karen worked with Animal Hospital in Clarksville, and was assured that surgery could help this small spirit heal, and walk again. So Karen stepped out on faith, and placed little Joey in their care.
A plea went out for donations to help pay for the operation, and hundreds of people stepped out on that same faith to give.
JOEY’s little legs were put back together with surgical hardware, wire, and lots and lots of prayer. And like the little warrior that he is: JOEY pulled through.
This little dog, who had been shown everything BUT love and devotion---has done nothing but lick and love his rescuers and wag his little tail in appreciation.

JOEY still needs your help.

His major medical needs have been met, but there are still costs involved I his care.

THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5th, at the Clarksville Petsmart on Wilma Rudolph Blvd from 9 am to 4 pm, JOEY’s rescuers will be having a fundraiser in efforts to continue to provide the funding for JOEYS medical care. There will be baked good, crafts, silent auctions, etc in hopes that JOEYS FUND will be able to maintain this little souls medical attention and ensure that he will once again be able to run, play, and live a fruitful life in a forever home.

• If you would like to donate towards JOEYS recovery, or donate anything in the way of baking good, craft, or items for silent auction, PLEASE email JOEY’s FUND at joeymemorialfund@gmail.com

• THANK YOU
