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!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE ON BUSTER-SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is BUSTER and he is currently at the CHEATHAM COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL. HIS TIME WAS RUNNING OUT FAST!!!!!!!!! HE NEEDED A HERO TO STEP UP AND FOSTER HIM so that he can receive PAID FOR medical care!!!


AND HE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT IN CASE SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN ADOPTING BUSTER--I"M GOING TO LEAVE HIS INFO HERE.
Here is is his bio:

BUSTER is a 3 year old male Chocolate Lab mix. He weighs 60 pounds and he is current on vaccinations. BUSTER was abandoned by his owner - who is a convicted felon. His owner tied him to his abandoned trailer, with no food or water. When we got to BUSTEr he was thirsty, hungry, and thin with his ribs showing. BUSTER has been a great dog at Animal Control! He is friendly with other dogs and people. He doesn't seem to be interested in cats much at all. BUSTER is great on the leash too! BUSTER is Heartworm Positive - but he has a sponsor for his treatment - and Heartworm is condition that is totally treatable! This boy is handsome, loving and very very thankful for any attention he gets. He's a gentle dog and he would be a good family pet! PLEASE call Animal Control at: 615-792-3647 THANK YOU!!!! TJ Jordi, Director, Cheatham County Animal Control

A statement from Clarksville AC Director Karen Josephson about Buster

"I rescued BUSTER when I was with Cheatham County Animal Control. He was tied to an abandoned trailer by his owner. A man who is a convicted Pedophile who treated BUSTER horribly. BUSTER is HW positive - but has a sponsor for the slow kill treatment. BUSTER is a joyful Chocolate Lab Mix - and he...'s affectionate and playful and a happy. HE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE and he is at risk of not making it out this week!!! 615-792-3647 ". Buster had a last minute adoption to save him but it fell through. His life is REALLY on the line and could be ending very shortly. This is a last ditch plea to save him.

So now that BUSTER will be fostered and receive his heart worm treatment, now all he needs is a forever home to take him, love him, and GIVE HIM THE LIFE he DESERVED in the FIRST PLACE.

If you are interested in teaching this boy what life could be like with a LOVING FAMILY--call the number listed above.

    from Mary Forsythe...Update on Buster. Buster is now at the Guest House for Animals where he is being fostered with Don and Stefanie. He has begun his HW treatment(slow kill method) and getting ready to be neutered. I love buster. He rides well in a car and was well behaved at the vet's office. He is a big lovable teddy bear. He get along with other dogs and with children. If you are interested in Buster, please contact Open Heart Rescue http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100002665390019 .
