Our Straydog147@yahoo.com email has been Hacked!
Bill and Juana are not in trouble in the Philippines! We are okay and are here at Straydog!
Please disregard the false email you may have received.
The FBI has been notified of this crime,

Please help us cover the expense of
Lady-dog's 2nd TPLO knee surgery
to repair the torn ACL in her left knee (about $3,000).
Click here to see the procedure Lady-dog went through
four years ago when she had her first TPLO knee surgery.

Juana walks Lady-dog around the park after Lady returns from knee surgery in January 2008.
She now (April 2012) has a torn the ACL in her left hind leg and will stay inside H1 in a crate
with periodic walks on leash in the park until we can raise funds for her second TPLO knee surgery.

And now Jackson and Stormy ALSO need knee surgeries to repair torn ACLs!

Little Prince has crossed the Rainbow Bridge (3/12/12)

BILL: I know I've said this before about a lot of our dogs who have passed on,
but this fella, Prince, was truly the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet.

Subject: Today's Visit

Juana and Bill,
 
Just a brief note to let you know how very much Nancy and I enjoyed today's visit.  As I had heard, the dog runs are all so clean, and the dogs are all so well-taken-care-of and so happy.  What a blessing you both are to these wonderful beings that God created.  Nancy said that your shelter truly set the standard; she mentioned to me several times on our way back how impressed she was, and how happy and clean all the dogs were.  She said they truly were part of a big family, and, of course, I agreed. 
 
Thanks again for letting us visit; Straydog is a wonderful place.  I was glad to see the doggies I had seen before (Rosita has always had a spot in my hear) and glad to see the ones that I had only heard of or read about in the newsletter -- I can't start naming them -- I was thrilled to see them all.
 
Thanks again,
 
Joanne Pollard

Current, Up-To-Date News from Straydog
In order to bring you current, up-to-date
Daily News from Straydog, we are resuming our
Daily Straydog Audio Reports/Radio Shows
which we used to post at least once a day back in '05, '06 and '07
Click below for a list of links to

Previous Straydog Audio Reports

Transcriptions (or Transcription Summaries) of our Audio Report (with Photos) are posted as
soon as we get the time to complete all the steps involved, which steps include:

(1) The TRANSCRIPTION Process, which entails having someone transcribe or summarize
whatever is said on our evening and/or morning 5-to-15-minute Audio Report;

(2) The PHOTO PROCESSING (which David Rentz and others do, staying only about three days behind); and

(3) The COMPOSING and FINAL EDITING of the PAGES (which I try to find time to do).

These steps would take one person at least five uninterrupted hours per day, and no one at Straydog
currently has time to do these jobs. Until we get more help, hopefully volunteer help (who may please email me at
BillArnold147@yahoo.com if you have time to do something like transcribe an audio report and email it back
to me) we will at least keep you updated with our audio reports. It's all a matter of time, or the lack thereof.
