Received this today from Cynthia Sharpley about a fire at a rescue home in Mississippi. Sure sounds like they could use our help!
I find this truly hard to believe. A man in Frederick County, MD, asked his friend to “watch” his 75 (yes, that’s right, 75!) dogs, then took off.
Those of you who read this blog regularly may remember that I work for a major Midwestern US electric utility. They made me so proud today, I had to share it with you!

Last weekend was PetSmart’s adoption event, where they tried to find homes for 13,500 pets. In addition, as you know, last week was the Westminster show, probably the premiere event featuring purebred dogs. So, it dawned on me that we should ask our readers which they prefer – shelter dogs or dogs purchased from a breeder. Please take our survey below and let us know what you think.

Good post on the Three Dog Blog, concerning whether or not dogs (or any animals, for that matter) have souls. A frequent commenter on this site, TheThreeDogBlog.com has recently been added to our blogroll, and we offer him today a wag of the doggies.com tail for his good work!

Good day, and good dog!
According to some sources, 10,000 homes are being foreclosed upon per DAY, and new foreclosure proceedings start every 30 seconds.

Have you heard about the latest Internet scam, preying on your sympathy towards abandoned animals for the scammer to make money? Saw this article recently in the Hamilton Journal News. Continue reading New Internet Dog Scam
This one was so good, we had to expand the Tuesday Top Ten to be a Tuesday Top Twenty! Things we could do if we didn’t have dogs:

Received this information from Kathy DeRay, who is trying to save her dog, Tigger, a second time. After rescuing Tigger 3 years ago, she is now trying to help him survive liver cancer, but as you can imagine, it is quite expensive. If you can help her with even a small donation, please visit her fundraising site.
Those of you who are regular readers know I lost my Beagle mix, Molly, to lymphatic cancer many years ago, and more recently lost my Coonhound/Lab Mix, Tracy, to cancer of the jaw. In both cases, they did not respond to any of the treatments we tried, but it looks like Tigger may have a chance. Maybe if we can help Kathy raise the funds she needs, she won’t have to go through the heartbreak so many of us have experienced.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
