Honey came in with so many fox tails she had to have surgery to remove them all. Poor baby looked like a pin cushion under all her mats and tangles. She turned out to be a real beauty under all that hair and dirt. She will be ready for adoption in a couple of days when we make sure she has healed up completely.

Lulu is completely blind at 2 years old from cataracts. We think she deserves to see for the rest of her life so we are going to make it happen. We are so grateful for your support that allows us to give Lulu this precious gift.
This year for every $25 donation towards Lulu’s cataract surgery we will enter you 15 times in our Spring Fundraiser drawing. We are giving away $500, $250 and $250 at each of our Annual Picnics. The first drawing will be at our Sacramento annual picnic on June 22 and the second will be at the Santa Barbara picnic on July 20th. Don’t forget to reserve your spot at the Picnic!

This is Ladie’s before picture. She had kennel cough, four inch nails and mats all over. But when we got her cleaned up and over the kennel cough she was pretty darn cute!
Here she is after her clean up, a few good meals and lots of TLC from her foster mom Debra. She is a whole new dog!
Ladie is a gentle sould about 6-8 years old. She just wants to be with someone who will love her. We think she deserves it, don’t you?

Dallas is a happy fellow. He was rescued from the Baldwin shelter at the last minute before his time was up. He was turned in by his family who said they had him for a year but could not afford his care anymore.
He had ear infections and kennel cough but those quickly cleared up. His mouth was another story. He has an adorable overbite and his lower jaw does not sit straight causing one of his canines to go right through the roof of his mouth every time he bites. This week he goes in to have that tooth removed so he will be able to eat without pain for the first time in his whole life!
Needless to say he can’t wait! Even so Dallas is the sweetest, most loving boy around. We hope he finds his forever home very soon!

Coming Home From The Shelter
The picture of Tobias that the shelter sent us showed a huge ugly tumor in the corner of his mouth. It described him as a senior boy with severe medical issues. We couldn’t resist. This boy needed us!
On the way home from the shelter he got a special treat just to start off his new life on the right track. We shaved him down and found an adorable 8-10 yr old boy with a mouth that hurt like the dickens but he was the sweetest, gentlest little soul.
The vet said the tumor was malignant and suggested removing it. Once he is sedated she could get a better look at it then she could tell us what his chances are. But even if it only bought him a few good months we were ready to go ahead. His surgery is scheduled for the 19th of this month as the tumor was so infected he needed to be on antibiotics for a week before we could try the surgery. So for now he is taking his pills like a gentleman and getting prepared for surgery. Then he will be ready for a foster home. We will know then if he will be going into hospice or be available for adoption. We have our fingers crossed. This boy deserves a good long life!

The last few years we have started seeing more and more young cockers who are already blind from cataracts. One and two year old babies who have never been able to see the world. The most recent girl is Lulu. Lulu is an absolutely beautiful little cocker girl who is only 2 1/2 years old and almost completely blind already. She has a pretty black coat with white on her chest & tummy. We had her evaluated by a specialist and is a good candidate for cataract surgery, thank goodness. She will be scheduled for surgery in late May/early June after she has recovered from her spay surgery. The cost will be $3,000. It is a lot of money but we think giving Lulu a whole lifetime of sight is worth it.

Here is William II (so he doesn’t get confused with Wm I – my step son) in his spring/summer home in Lookout Mountain TN – a beautiful little town on a lovely mountain outside of Chattanooga. He’s with his new buddy Jackie (who was adopted in Bolinas CA) standing in snow flurries and it’s 29 degrees – wondering what snow and cold weather are about..
