WELCOME TO DOGWOOD: DON'T BUY PETS WHILE YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL CONTROL IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH HEALTHY ADOPTABLE DOGS AND CATS!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!!!!!!

DON'T BUY PETS WHILE YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL CONTROL IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH HEALTHY ADOPTABLE DOGS AND CATS!!!!!!!!!!

OK the kid gloves are off.
Though I no loonger live in Clarksville/Montgomery County--I paid enough taxes and put up with enough crap there to still have an opinion for a LONG TIME to come.
ANIMAL CONTROL is under the leadership of a new director who is working on making big changes to benefit the animals that are dumped there and keep them alive and give them a chance at staying that way thru rescue or adoption.
BUT UNTIL THOSE PLANS SEE THEIR POTENTIAL THEY STILL NEED THE HELP OF LOCAL CITIZENS!!!!!!
SWEET, HELPLESS, loving animals are DYING by the dozens--AND ONLY PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THAT!
FOSTER FOSTER FOSTER FOSTER!!!!! FOSTER HOMEs can change and SAVE a life!
YOU have a new power that you never knew about!! THE POWER OVER THE DEATH of these animals!
YOU CAN STOP DEATH COLD!!! YOU can make life stomp the living crap out of the grim reaper!
YOU can be a bridge between FOSTER AND FOREVER by giving a dog or cat SANCTUARY for a few weeks until it can be ADOPTED!
No, there's no pay. No there's no glory. No there's no awards or instant stardom.
THERE IS love, loyalty, and the gratitude of a living breathing thing that will melt the heart of even the stodgiest fool.
PLEASE--contact your local HUMANE SOCIETY or FRIENDS OF THE SHELTER to leave more about HOW YOU CAN SAVE LIVES BY BEING A FOSTER HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
