Focus

It's been awhile.

I worked in Atlanta for about a week at the Atlanta Gift Show and I got to explore the city a bit.  I've focused more on work lately and getting things together in my life.  I'm trying to save some money because I spent more than I expected getting Talula in shape for adoption.  I'm not even sure how many people are reading this blog anymore, but it still helps to write things out once in awhile.

I'm very hopeful that the past year is just the beginning of many dog's lives that I will affect positively.  For now, I can only afford to rescue more "adoptable" dogs from the shelters--this includes younger, smaller dogs and also breeds with more positive reputations.  It breaks my heart because I love pit bulls.  I love the 'underdogs' and they are dying in huge numbers in shelters.   However, it's just too much money (that I don't have) to care for these dogs for months on end; I have to compromise by rescuing dogs that need less time and vet care to find a family.

I promise to update more diligently in the near future as well as post many pictures that are sitting on my hard drive.  Please leave your comments and stay in touch. 

Oh...and I have a surprise coming at the beginning of next week.  She has four paws and a squished-in face.  I'll write more about it soon.

Hey Jon, I'm still checking on your site daily. Love your pics and bless your heart for what you are trying to do. Even though you can't save a hundred dogs this week, it really matters to the dog that you did save. :-)

I just found your site and think you are amazing for what you do! I always thought pit bulls were bad until my roommate had one. Here name was Cricket and I have never met a more wonderful dog! I hope to have one someday. It is a shame that they have such a bad reputation.

We're still reading, Jon! Hmmm! Looking forward to that surprise next week. :)

I read your site often for news of dogs. I hope you will keep posting, and I, in turn, will give more feedback. By the way, I told about 6 people about the entry entitled "Cake Face". A dog eating birthday cake: Can you think of better soul balm?

hey . . . you have a new reader, and I bookmarked your site. The pooches are precious, and you are, too. Thanks for your site and your work, it's really inspiring and warms my heart and makes me feel a little better about the world that sometimes good things are happening, and you sharing this piece of your life with the public sets so many good things in motion that we may not even know about.
