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!!!!!!!!!

YOU CAN HELP A MIRACLE!!!!




 I think by now almost all of the rescue lovers who follow Facebook know about a sweet senior dog named PAM who was left behind by her "owners" and brought to Animal Control in Clarksville by neighbors.
 The officers at Animal Control tried to make her comfortable, allowing her to lie on a soft dog bed as opposed to lying on the concrete floor of a kennel. 

But things were not looking great for the old girl.  We all know that senior animals usually get the short end of the stick (no pun intended). Most people want puppies or cute and cudleys--not the old weather worn warriors who have seen many, many moons and are approaching twilight time.  Older animals are forgotten--or like Pam--are left behind to fend for themselves--or to fade away. 

But thanks to rescuers at Willy's Happy Endings--Pam's future took a turn for the better.  Rafi Johnson and her team of huge hearted folks pulled Pam from her uncertain hours and placed her in their foster program.

The story gets even better from there. The Robert Reed family in Georgia saw Pam's picture on facebook, and to semi quote Robert, "It melted his heart".

SO at this time, PAM is undergoing prep work towards her transport and delivery to her new family.

MIRACLES still happen! Pam is well on the road to living out the rest of her days in comfort and in love.

BUT--Willy's Happy Endings could use a few dollars along the way to help get the old girl ready to enter her happily forever after.

This is the Face Book post from Rafi and Willy's Happy Endings:

OK WHE friends! Pam's entropion surgery and dental has been scheduled for monday morning. The estimated cost for just those procedures is $325.00. She will also need pre-anesthetic blood work to be sure that she does not have any heath issues that would make the anesthesia dangerous.

SO HERE IT IS FOLKS---MY patented, beloved FIVE DOLLAR CHALLENGE!!!!
If you can spare FIVE BUCKS to donate towards PAM's vetting and transport--I am asking that you send to one of the venues offered above.  Go one day with out that fancy coffee---drop your pack of cigarettes for a day---pack yourself a lunch tomorrow instead of scarfing down a Wendy's burger.
FIVE DOLLARS!  We can all afford that (I hope).
 
If you can't afford that--then I ask that you spend FIVE MINUTES in prayer--asking that this need be met, and that this wonderful, loving senior dog will be delivered safely and happily into the arms of the hearts who her image moved so much.
 
That much I know everyone can afford!
 
SO COME ON ANIMAL ARMY---get out those wallets and check books and credit cards and let's make this thing happen!
 
MIRACLES HAPPEN--sometimes we have to nudge them along.  JOIN THE NUDGE!!!
