I am pulling for your Henry...& I'm sorry i didn't know about this sooner, would love to help if still needed!!
Please don't hesitate to ask.

There once was a puppy named Morgan.
He is a pure-bred Chinese Crested Powder Puff & a woman bought him to breed him with her three female Chinese Crested dogs. This woman also had several cats & five teenage boys. One day, my friends son, Josh, was at this "womans'" house with another friend & saw this poor pitiful creature, dirty, skin & bones, ungroomed & full of knots & with blackened eyes from tear duct leakage, locked in a cage, shivering from fright & cold, terrified...no blanket, no food, no water, no love. Josh was mortified & asked the "woman" about this puppy. Morgan was 8 months old. The "woman" said he was a pain in the ass, she couldn't do anything with it & if Josh wanted him, take "it", but he couldn't have Morgans' papers because she didn't want Josh to sell "it". Josh took the pup & skedaddled. Morgan ended up at our house, where he is to this day. His new name is Cheech, aka Yum-Yum...he has his own everything, rides in a bike basket on the front of my husbands' bike, lounges on his pillow in the motorized canoe we have, loves to go camping, can do about 12 tricks & shows us his love & devotion every day. I hope he remembers nothing of his first 8 months. His picture is on Jeff Aments Army "Pilate" video...he's the Happy Dog! Thanks for letting me share. Prayers for Henry.

I Saw him!!! He's so cute! Lovely of you to offer but it's okay, the money already sent has been help enough. Your well wishes are great.


Don't even get me started on Bailey! What a cutie!

Good luck guys!

In 2003 my older sister and her husband moved from Joplin ( where we'd all shared a trailer house) and took with her, her Charlie cat, leaving me kitty-less. I was devestated..UNTIL.. My adopted sisters rescued seven kittens from their step-dad who'd thrown them into the chicken coop to "take care" of the "problems". They were all battered and wounded, but alive..My roomate and I nursed all of them back to health and gave 5 away when they were all well. Tanya fell in love with a little female cow-spotted black and white kitten and I fell in love with a little tiger-stripe and white male that I'd nicknamed Tommy The Cat after the song by Primus. When she begged to keep her kitten, she'd named her Baby, I decided my cat was gonna stay too.. So I kept him. When he was four we moved to Kansas City, wolf-dogs (whom have both since passed away) and all, and the kitty got Distemper and Herpes even after having been vaccinated for them... he's truely one in a million!! He comes to me when I whistle, sits and lays down on command, and sings for his food at night..He is my big old Distemper-fried kitty and I love him VERY VERY; much he will be ten years old this year.. and it amazes me that he has never run away ( like cats so often do). Anyhow thanks for the chance..

i have a cocker spaniel named Tess, i got her when she was 2 months old and raised her by myself(i was only 13 at the time so it was kind of a big deal for me)

she's 12 years old now and i'm afraid she doesn't have a lot of time left.... she's gone completely deaf and she can barely make it up and down the stairs without falling.

my mother has been taking care of her while i've been in the navy and before she lost her hearing my mom would say to her "Billy's coming home" when i was on my way home from the airport and she would get super excited jumping up and down. then she would go to the front door and lay in front of it until i got home. and when i get home, i sit on the floor and she jumps in my lap licks me relentlessly and won't get off my lap

Hi there, the vet hasn't called me yet so I'm sitting here with my fingers crossed. its about 1:30pm here and I know at my old work surgery wasn't finished some days til about 3-4. This place is actually a specialist too so I guess it might work differently? I did ring this morning however and they told me that he was quietly watching the nurses work and he scoffed down his breakfast yesterday. promise I'll let you know as soon as I hear something though. Thanks for asking.

Conman! That's sad! But very sweet too. She sounds lovely!

And whispering hands, Tommy the Cat is one of my favourite Primus songs! :thumbup: very cool name.

I grew up in an animal-loving family, so I've always had a few furry friends by my side
Currently, I have 2 kitties that I adopted from the shelter nearly 8 years ago...(Hello my name is) Jonas is my avatar (and the official mascot for the PJ20 Mustache Movement ) and Dirty Frank Black who is (surprise) all black. They aren't technically brothers, but they were cage buddies and they've been together since they were babies so they're brothers They're inseparable..really..they even "insist" on being in the same carrier when I take them to the vet's. Now, this was kind of cute when they were babies..if you put them in separate carriers, they would cry (even Frank, who only "talks" when he's playing with a toy) until you put them in the same one, and then they would calm down. Well, 8 years later and a combined weight of over 35 pounds and me trying to carry them in and out of the car in one carrier..well let's just say it's quite a sight but I wouldn't have it any other way
Animals provide us with an unconditional love like no other..some people don't understand, but for animal lovers, like many of us..it makes perfect sense

Thinking about you & Henry..I hope you get some good news soon!

Constant Recoil...

Story of how I got my first pet ,a cat named O.T.

I got her when I was around 6 I think. I was at a football game (my older brothers) and one of our friends walked in with a little ity bity kitty. It was so small it could fit in the palm of your hand. It never moved except sometimes to strech. She said she found it along the side of the road and let me hold it. Which was a bad choic because I drove home with it that day. haha. So I was really sick that night and was the only one that was sitting so she stuck with me the whole night! Once a kid came up to me (had to be about 10) asked if he could hold her, then took off running. Later that night after many tears I saw him trying to sell the cat. The friend who found her said it was hers and he gave it back.

Well the cat was less then four weeks old and looked to be starving so the first thing it ever ate was the inside of a french fry (still eats potatos) and water out of a water bottle cap. At the end of the night I begged my parents to let me keep it and it road home in a box of hot chocolate from the consession stand She was named O.T. because the game went into overtime. She was my first pet.

After she grew up a bit I would carry her everywhere. Unfortunalty she started to hate me and would attack me when ever I walked past her :? I still have scars on my legs from her claws. Still love her though.

Love you O.T.

Thanks for the awesome chance!!

Hi everyone,
Soooooooo....I heard from the vet and HE'S OKAY!!!
Poor little monkey has been under anaesthetic for a lot of the day! :? So they want to keep an eye on him and have us ring at 10 tomorrow morning. They reckon he might have to stay another night :( but I know it's for the best. He has a little incision in his belly and one near his bottom and he has to have a catheter.
She said he has done really well and the operation went really well. Now I guess time will tell.

I just want to thank everyone again so much for your support, your stories and your compassion. I will NEVER forget it. xoxoxoxoxox to you all!

Alright, I'm back for my tale about my pup Zeke:

Almost 5 years ago Jen (my girlfriend) and I were living outside of Atlanta. At the time, I was interested in getting a lab puppy when one day a friend of her's calls us and says that they are outside of a supermarket and there are lab puppies being given away... we say we're ready and to have her pick one up for us. Later that night we went over to their house and met Zeke for the first time.

That was in May 2007. Just two months later in July, it was actually the 4th of July, Jen and her siblings were at the store picking up some goods for the celebration and left Zeke in the car (a bad decision given the heat, for starters). While they were in the store, her brother went out to check on Zeke and came storming back inside saying "Zeke's gone." With that announcement, everyone comes out to the parking lot to discover that Zeke is in fact missing from the car, and no one with him was in sight.

There was really nothing that we could do at that point. Our dog had, as far as we could tell, been stolen. So, we decide that putting up fliers would be better than nothing and so we do so. We put a reward amount on the flyer that we knew we couldn't make good on, but we were desperate and we wanted to find out who would steal a dog. My thoughts were that if someone took him out of the car because of the irresponsible decision to leave him in the heat, then they would come in the store to find us and tell us how they felt, they would've just called the cops.

So, 8 days go by and Jen gets a call from a woman saying "I have your dog and I want the money." :shock:

So we say, "okay" and decide on a place to meet. Well before we get there, we went to a police station and asked an officer to show up shortly after the woman and us convened. He did, and it got to the point were acording to the police officer, we couldn't prove that she stole the dog, and if we didn't have the money that we advertised as a reward she could take us to civil court. She said she "wanted the money because he had shit in her house, torn up carpet and her son was now attached to the dog." We just wanted our dog back so we basically negotiated to give her a petty amount of cash and we ended up getting Zeke back.

He's still with us today, and he will be 5 years old in May. He's my best bud. When he was gone for about 7 days, I was about ready to accept that I wouldn't see him again... but it didn't turn out that way.

If I were doing it again knowing what I know now, I would just let the woman sue me and I wouldn't have gave her a cent. At the time though, I just wanted my dog back.
