In Memory of Angel    03.06.10

Posted in Rescue at 12:02 am by Administrator

August 31, 2009 – September 11, 2009

As we say good bye today, please only cry happy tears

For I am in a place that knows no pain after waiting all these years

God gave me a chance to know mercy and love before it was time to leave

So to all my friends, look up to the sky, smile, and know I am free.

-Angel

Angel’s case was one that shocked us all. She is one sweet soul that will never be forgotten, the images of her emaciated body, the love she had for a young boy.

We are relieved to share the news: Angel’s abuser is being charged with felony charges for the abuse she inflicted on Angel.

The unbelievable reality has come to light, Animal Control had been to Angel’s home numerous times, yet Angel was still permitted to die a slow and painful death.

It is with the most heavy of hearts that the Volunteers of Take Me Home Rescue share with all of Angel’s supporters that our sweet girl lost her long battle with diabetes on Friday night, September, 11, just 12 short days after her rescue. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide Angel with the immediate hospitalization she required, after battling diabetes with absolutely no medical treatment for what our vet believes to be a very extended period of time. It remains a mystery both to us and our veterinarians how Angel was able to stay alive all this time, losing over 30 pounds of her body weight and fighting secondary infections that were a direct result of never being treated for her diabetes. No expense was spared in giving Angel every opportunity to fight for her life. She was immediately rushed to the hospital, directly from the shelter where she was rescued, and underwent all the diagnostic testing that was necessary to properly treat her condition. She was given IV fluids to help support her body as she underwent insulin therapy and was given the medications necessary to fight her infections. She remained hospitalized and closely monitored as her insulin therapy began, to ensure she would have immediate veterinary attention should she experience any adverse reactions. Unfortunately, after waiting far too long for proper medical treatment and losing over 30 pounds of body mass, Angel’s tired body was too emaciated and too weak to properly regulate her blood sugar once she did receive the medication that would have easily saved her life long ago when her diabetes began. Prior to her passing on Friday evening, Angel crashed several times and we were able to stabilize her. But once she went to sleep for the night on that Friday evening, God showed his mercy on her and decided that she had been through enough. Angel passed peacefully in her sleep Friday, September 11th.

First impression    03.04.10

Posted in Other at 5:57 am by Administrator

I recently purchased a Bissell 3920 Pet Hair Eraser Dual-Cyclonic Upright Vacuum Cleaner. I had considered the Dyson Animal vacuum, but they are awfully pricey. I have just used the Bissell once so far, but I was impressed on how much hair it picked up. If you buy one, you should get extra belts as I have had belts break on other Bissell cleaners.

We picked up her ashes yesterday. I now have 10 urns in my office. 6 dogs and 4 cats all from the 14 1/2 years we have been in Colorado.

I miss them all.

A man and his dog    03.01.10

Posted in Other at 12:02 am by Administrator

A man and his dog were walking along a road when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years.

After a while, they came to a street of pure gold. As he got closer, he saw a man at a desk. He called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”

“This is Heaven,” the man answered.

“Wow! Would you happen to have some water?”

“Of course. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought up.”

“Great! Can my dog come in, too?” the traveler asked.

“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.”

The man thought a moment and then turned back down the road. “Never mind,” he said.

After another long walk, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate. As he approached, he saw a man leaning against a tree. “Excuse me!” he called. “I’m very thirsty. Do you have any water?”

“Yes, sure, come on in.”

“How about my friend here?” the traveler gestured to the dog.

The man said, “There is a special bowl for dogs by the pump.”

The traveler took a long drink and filled the water bowl for his dog. “What do you call this place?” the traveler asked.

“This is Heaven.”

“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveler said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.”

“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street? No. That’s hell.”

“Doesn’t it make you mad that they use your name like that?”

“No, they’re doing us a favor. They screen out unsuitable candidates — the folks who would leave their dog behind.”

Another Chantal dog    02.24.10

Posted in Other, Rescue at 4:48 pm by Administrator

In a shelter in California. Same behavior as a number of Chantal dogs that have been in rescue and had to be put down because they had a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Sweet most of the time, but they unexpectedly get vicious and attack.

And that group includes one that I spent a great deal of money on to try and save.

PS I wonder how long it will take the Chantal shills to show up? They always do.

Spork’s Facebook page now has over 5000 members. His story has appeared on at least two local stations (links below) and a few others in other states and Fox news. The city of Lafayette is getting a lot of negative publicity.

The house seems almost empty without her. There are constant reminders that she is gone. One less food bowl at dinnertime. No Annie to give treats to.

She is really missed.
