Five Golden Retrievers, part of the Lutheran Church Charities K-9
Comfort Dog Ministry, based near Chicago, Ill., were deployed to help
comfort victims and Bostonians earlier this week at the request of the
First Lutheran Church of Boston. The five dogs are part of a group of 67 Golden Retrievers trained as
service dogs that help bring comfort to victims of tragedies such as the
shootings at Sandy Hook. The group was formed with just a few dogs in
2008 following the shooting at Northern Illinois University. |

April 21 - April 27 is National Volunteer week. A time to thank all the wonderful people who volunteer their time, services, energy and resources to support causes they believe in. I personally have volunteered with the San Diego Humane Society for close to 7 years and can't begin to tell you what a rewarding and satisfying experience that has been. I also volunteer with PAWS San Diego and have volunteered with SNAP in the past. Giving your time to an organization you believe in regardless of whether it is animal or people-oriented is a wonderful way to make a difference in this world. |

Most of us can recognize the beautiful greyhound when we see one. Their appearance is quire distinctive and their bodies, designed for speed, are poetry in motion. This month, has been declared National Greyhound Adoption Month so if you are considering adopting a greyhound, why not do it now. Greyhounds are described as brave, devoted and intelligent animals. they are very loving and loyal even though they may be reserved in behavior to strangers. They are sensitive and even-tempered and respond best to soft commands with a voice of authority and confidence. |

Finally, the definitive book on understanding feline behavior is available and it is so good. "The Cat Whisperer", written by Mieshelle Nagel, is truly THE book we cat owners and cat lovers have been waiting for, to better comprehend the characteristics, behaviors, and idiosyncrasies of our "furry feline kids". Through extensive clinical research, observation, study and years of experience, Mieshelle has unraveled the mystery of the cat. Her book is not only extremely informative, educational,and helpful but it is written with a delightful sense of humor which makes for an easy and enjoyable read. |

Thanks to the wonderful efforts of the folks at CAPS ( Companion Animal Protection Society), an ordinance has been passed in Los Angeles prohibiting the sale of commercially bred dogs, cats, and rabbits in L.A. pet stores. The City Council was provided with results of a 2 year investigation done undercover, evidencing the cruelty of Puppy Mill operators, and passed the ordinance by a vote of 12 to 2.
Having a city as large as Los Angeles pass this law makes it much easier for other cities to follow suit; hopefully, getting rid of the blight of puppy mills from this country forever. |
