finding homes for goldens in need

I am SO upset with myself!!!!

When we were out walking the dogs at 530 pm, all 6 of them as we have Skittles with us, I forgot my cell phone. Someone called saying they had seen Gladys at Flat Iron and Raggety Lane, which is one road over from our housing area, but I didn’t see the message for two hours…..GRRR.

I really think Gladys will come if she sees Skittles. We walked from Flat Iron to our house; put towels out with Skittles scent on them.

Perhaps tomorrow evening around 6 pm if we still don’t have her, people could just sit in locations between Usher Lane and Raggety Lane, watch for her and call if seen and we could get to the location with Skittles.

The good news is she has not been hit by a car which is my worst fear. I called the two closest vets to alert them if someone brought a stray golden in to please call 240.925.8817.

Starting June 24, we will be hosting a Thirty-One party as a fundraiser for GRRSM. A minimum of 15% of sales will go directly to GRRSM. Thirty-One offers high-quality bags, organizers, and accessories in a range of colors and patterns, many of which can be personalized with your (or your dog’s) name.

For the month of June, Thirty-One is offering the Large Utility Tote for only $10 with a purchase of $35. This is a great bag for toys, travel, and many other uses.

This sales event will be online only; June 24-28th.

Hang on to this list as I promise you will need it one day as I’ve used ALL of these drugs at one time or another for dogs.

Good news is Princess was adopted today by her foster family.

Not so good news: They did not do her surgery today as the xrays show cancer has spread to her lungs. Dr. Forrest estimates Princess has only has a couple of months to enjoy her new family.

Thank you to Kim and Titus for loving Miss Princess.

Dear Natura Family,
We have some sad news to share. We are announcing today a voluntary recall of all Innova, California Natural, EVO, Healthwise, Mother Nature and Karma branded dry pet food and biscuit/bar/treat products with expiration dates prior to June 10, 2014.
We made this decision in part due to a single positive Salmonella test by the FDA on product manufactured April 3. Normally, this would have resulted in retrieval of product manufactured over just a few days. However, we are taking the additional precautionary measure to recall all products in the marketplace. Our first priority is the wellbeing of the pets we serve.
Our decision allows us to ensure that all products available in the marketplace were produced after June 10, the date when we implemented additional finished product testing procedures with the guidance of industry experts.
Below this message you will find instructions on how to request a replacement voucher or refund. If you have any further questions, please contact us at http://www.naturapet.com/about/contact-us or (800) 224-6123.
We are truly sorry.

Fact of life that dogs get cancer. Here’s a short article about early warning signs:

Thank you to the Williams family for giving Chops a loving home.
