Bill Arnold's Daily Straydog Log

TUESDAY APRIL 6 2004

Billy Lawson's two rescues are safe and are recovering their health at Kindness Small Animal Hospital in Garland (address below)

      Here's Billy's email of yesterday evening to Straydog updating us on the situation:

Subject: Dog Rescue Update

Just wanted to update everyone on the status of the rescue of the two dogs in Dallas. We have named them Willow and Abby.

First of all, I want to thank Bill Arnold for his help in getting the word out to folks, as well as all those who have offered financial and other assistance to help with the dogs' care.

The dogs were successfully rescued this morning [Sunday] with the help of Claudia and Teresa from Plano. They were taken to Kindness Small Animal Hospital of Garland, a facility that generously provides care for rescued strays. The vet has found both dogs to be advanced heart worm positive, covered in ticks, malnourished, and in need of worming. Initial findings, however, indicate that both dogs should be treatable.

Anyone who wishes to help support their care, may send their donation to the following address:

Kindness Small Animal Hospital
7602 North Jupiter, Suite 109
Garland, TX 75049
Phone: (972) 530-5463

Please indicate that the donation is in support of Willow and Abby.

The dogs are obviously very close companions, and we would like to find a home for them together. The vet and vet techs commented on the loving nature of these two animals. If anyone knows of a possible foster or permanent home, please let me know.

I sincerely appreciate all your offers of help.

Billy,

Please keep us updated on the progress of Willow and Abby!

An earlier email from a contributor to Billy Lawson's new rescues

Subject: To help with the two new rescues

From: Pat Wright
To: straydog@straydog.org

I know it isn't much, but I hope this will help in the rescue of the two homeless dogs.

I remember you in my prayers and pray daily that God make all of us more caring and responsible to those helpless among us. We already have eight dogs and two cats in a regular sized yard and house, so I can only help with a little money and a lot of prayer!

Bless you and all that you do.

Pat Wright

Raining and chilly this Tuesday morning

      It was 56 degrees and dry outside when I got started at five this morning, but about eight o'clock it was starting to rain and the temperature was dropping. Now it's 53 degrees and dreary, and everyone is soaking wet, but our normal daily routine continues.

Foxy, Toby and Julie are in a hurry to get back inside out of the rain as Holly and Grace look on.

Old Sassy Katie loves to walk in the rain. After this little outing in the park we brought her inside to dry off.

 

Prince came through his surgery and is ready to come home

      We'll be picking him up as soon as we can free up a driver to go to the clinic. We've got Prince's hospital kennel all ready for him, though Sassy Old Katie, who loves to be out in the rain, is presently inside drying off in Prince's hospital kennel. Katie will be moving back out to her kennel when Prince arrives.
