Repost!!! please help Scout $5...REPOST!!!

Favor - please...$5 - that's all... or.... if you can't honestly give $5 or perhas don't want to, can you please REPOST this at least ?

Kern Co. Near Bakerfield is probably the WORST shelter on the West Coast. The dogs there are often very ill, diseases spread there, they get euthanized very quickly...it's pretty awful. This person - "Tyler" has managed to save 46 dogs in the last month...This person has a full time job, 2 dogs of their own and dedicates their life to this... Can you please donate $5 or $10 to help save this little puppy. Tyler is literally tapped out of fundage and needs a little help - please, even if it's only $5, it does help.... This puppy needs more veterinary care and we can't afford it...Reaching out, please... This is not a scam and is legit (Jenn).

Tyler writes : I pulled/rescued SCOUT--an adorable little guy from death row out of Kern County Shelter/Bakersfield.

He was transported by Stephanie and Paula on Friday June 19th 2009. By 6 pm when I met Paula to pick him up he was extremely lethargic, a lot of nasal discharge, sneezing and difficulty breathing.

I immediately took him to my vet. A Parvo test was performed(negative), xrays & medications. He has been admitted to the hospital since Friday night.

Over the weekend I went to visit him and spend time with him a few times. Saturday he was worse then Friday. Sunday he was in isolation & oxygen and they started iv fluids on him.

Today--Monday June 22nd--Update is he is worse now but the vet is confident he will turn the corner--it's just getting him over the "hump"...They are starting him on a nebulization stimulation to try to break up the congestion. There is more discharge today then through the weekend. If by Tuesday evening he isnt any better then more xrays will be taken to see if pneumonia has settled in both lungs. He has URI, Kennel cough, pneumonia in one lung.

As of Today (Thursday) Scout is very sick. Will not eat and needs more care...they believe he will make it, but cannot be released yet...which of course, means more $$$.

The estimate for everything prior to todays update was $700.00. If he needs to stay in the hospital additional days, change medications & xrays it will jump up to $900.00 ++ for his care..

Any donations are appreciated for his care:

Even if it is just $5, it DOES help.... $5 is a starbucks coffee, a pack of cigarettes, almost, etc... Please help......

Today is Administrative Professionals Day

If you've ever been one, whether or not it was/is your actual title,
OR you just ended up somehow doing the things that people call ADMIN (used to be Secretarial)
maybe you just got stuck doing them because you did it once, or you are the most competent person to do them and to let anyone else take it over meant you'd probably get stuck re-doing their crappy attempt at the chore,

then....

I FEEL YA!

It's not my job (now), yet in the fallout from the economy and recent layoffs at my company,
and probably something to do with me having been one for so long and being a perfectionist (and having to re-do/fix half-ass attempts at a seemingly simple and/or mundane task), i have been asked or taken it upon myself to do random things around the office. So long have I been this type of person, that people come to me, lowly (paid) me, with questions and problems from the office.

oh sure...let me put aside my monstrous pile of work and stay late to take care of that...

well, no...I don't know, but I can find out how to....

no, i don't mind working late because you didn't do this and i can take care of it.



Ok, if you've ever been on the other side of that conversation, I want you to figure out how to make it up to your Admin.

No cheezy e-card.

No stupid flowers. (yer not my man.)

put some freakin thought into a genuine acknowledgement that shows how lost you would be without them and how F-d you'd have been if you didn't have your go-to girl/guy.

if you've ever been an ADMIN...

<sigh>

you know....

they just don't get it.

but YOU Know!

You're a STAR!!!!

treat yourself to something nice

******PLEASE REPOST!!!!!!!****** MISSING - Sandra Cantu

Thank you to everyone for posting this and looking.

This is Bud.

He's one of 9 puppies that was rescued by my bf's friend's mom.

I warned my bf that he should not go see them, and if he did to NOT pick them up.

He didn't listen. 6 weeks later and this one went home with him.

I was worried about Maya.

As you may know, she is a bit of a diva and although she LOVES!!! people, she does not like dogs. Especially small rude dogs that run up in your face.

We did the required slow introduction, discouraging any and all growling (I call it doggy tourette's)and aggressive posturing.

This weekend is the 2nd weekend with overnight stays; this one at my/Maya's house. She's getting used to the little tyke. We're still monitoring it all and will continue to do so.

Today, huge break through with Maya enticing the puppy into a gentle tug of war with a toy of hers he was interested in (previously, she'd just take stuff away from him).

Then... during this interaction, there it was: The Play Bow

Soon she was laying down to be at his level and allowing him to be in her face (even biting her a little; which we discouraged on his part).

Later, they engaged again and even seemed to do a lopsided wrestling, with Maya gently "hugging" him and then...putting his head in her mouth. Seems like not a good thing but this is a normal dominance/adult over puppy move. We joked that she won't be able to do this very much longer. Soon his head will be bigger than hers, I'm sure.

Anyway, I think this will be good for both of them. Maya is mellower now. She'll be 6 in May, and is much more responsive to commands and correction than she was even as recently as last year.

And Bud, well...

he's got a lot to learn. And we can't teach it all to him, he's got to get some of that K9 inside story from someone in the know. She can be a bit bossy but she's got a heart of gold.

And I've got the best of both worlds.

A mellow sweet dog and I get to be fairy dog-mother to a puppy!!! All the fun and none...well, let's just say LESS of the work.

ah...the pitter patter of little feet! :)
