She is a sweet gentle girl who is also afraid of people. Her person decided that rather than teach her not to jump on his car, he would just kill her instead. Thankfully a neighbor stepped in & got her to STAR. Shortly after she arrived, I was giving her a rub down & found a lump, but what I feared might be a cancerous tumor. It was discolored & dark. I had also noticed that she had a large scar on her back foot & it appeared to be swollen. I pushed all around on her "lump" and her foot & she did not show any discomfort. Any who skip forward to Susi being at the vet.......the "lump" was a bullet & her foot had injuries consistent with being broken in a trap & being left to heal without treatment! No wonder the poor girl is afraid. The bullet was removed & sadly there is nothing that can be done for her foot. She will have symptoms comparable to arthritis in it for the rest of her life. STAR has set up a<a href="http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/abused-suzi-s-vetting/76357"> <span style="background-color: yellow;">fundraising page</span></a> to cover the costs of the xrays that were needed in order to ensure that Susi did not have any other bullets in her. Any donations are greatly appreciated! Susi is now safe in a home that specializes in rehabbing shy/scared/abused dogs. Thank you to STAR & Happy Dog Rescue for making sure that Susi never has to be afraid of being hurt again!!<br />

Mrs. was recently contacted about trying a new product out & boy am I glad that she was!!! We were sent a bottle of <a href="http://www.cardinalpet.com/vivaladogspa/moroccanoil.asp">French Moroccan Oil from Viva La Dog Spa</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YDuCgoDGGsk/UeK60Np5lDI/AAAAAAAAHlw/Tt2Xpoynv1Q/s1600/IMG_2932.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YDuCgoDGGsk/UeK60Np5lDI/AAAAAAAAHlw/Tt2Xpoynv1Q/s320/IMG_2932.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
Usually if I see Mrs. coming towards me with a bottle, I try to get away as quickly as I can, because due to my sensitive allergy suffering skin, I usually am getting sprayed with ouchie stuff to keep me from getting infections! This time though Mrs seemed pretty relaxed & I thought that I would stick around to see how things played out. As is usually the case, I was stretched out taking up most of the bed when Mrs. sat down beside me. When she opened the bottle, I could already tell that I was going to like whatever it was! She took just a couple of drops (has convenient dropper lid) & rubbed it between her hands & then she gave me a massage! All the way from the tips of my ears to the bottoms of my feet. All I can say is WOWSER!! This stuff is AWESOME!!! My skin feels soft & supple.Here I am after my massage.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do I look relaxed or what?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I am here, I might as well catch a few zzzzzzs :) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now a few words from Mrs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a little skeptical of the oil at first, because I thought that it would leave a greasy feeling & I was also worried that it might leave stains wherever the dogs plopped down, but that is not the case! The oil was absorbed into the skin & left the dogs feeling great! We just so happened to be fostering a Standard Poodle (1 of the breeds it is recommended for) while we were trying the oil out & I used it on her.</div>

This left her hair feeling very silky & she too enjoyed the attention.<span style="text-align: center;">The products are made in a solar powered plant, the company pre-cycles & all of their bottles are recyclable! You can read more about it </span><a href="http://www.cardinalpet.com/ollds/green_ollds.html" style="text-align: center;">here</a><span style="text-align: center;">.</span> Bottom line is we feel that <a href="http://www.cardinalpet.com/vivaladogspa/index.html">Viva La Dog Spa's</a> French Moroccan Oil is a great product that will not only make your pooches fur & skin feel wonderful, but also feels great on people too! The pooches give it a two out of two smiles!<br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
UPDATE:We trapped mama cat last night. She is now at the vet. Please send good thoughts & prayers for her♥<br />
<br />
Late one evening, we
discovered that we were being spied on. A big black & white cat was staring
in our picture window & taking in all that he could. He had a white face with a little black
mustache & had pretty long hair. We had just finished reading (as a family) a book about Anne Frank & we immediately (due to the mustache & the fact that he was spying) called him Adolph (no disrespect meant & we called him that lovingly). Over the next few days, we made numerous
attempts to pet him & he always ran away. That was several years ago
& we must have tried to trap/befriend/capture him a million times. He was not always hanging around our house,
sometimes we would not see him for a couple of months and then low & behold
he would come around again. One time he showed up with obvious injuries &
yet no matter what we did, we could not get close to him. We always left food
& water out just in case we were the only source. He was content to lay on
the porch, eat the food & watch us from afar, but he wanted nothing more. This
went on for several years. About six months ago a female cat showed up with him
& she was even more afraid of people than him. If you tried just to put
your hand out, she would hiss at you; even if you were really far away. The
cycle of setting the trap, trying to capture, hoping to befriend continued…..
Not too long ago we could tell that the female cat was pregnant. We made a nice
little “cat area” in our storage building in hopes that she would have the
kittens there. We also amped up the efforts, with no luck. Before we knew it,
she had given birth to the kittens. We looked all around the neighborhood & could not find where she was keeping them.
We actually thought that the kittens might not have survived. During all of
this time, she still came to eat daily & Adolph stayed with her
always. Several weeks passed & mama cat brought her kittens to eat at our
house. Long story short, after a couple of days, we were able to get all of the
kittens & during that time mama started to come closer & closer to us
which in turn meant that Adolph did too. We had noticed that he had been
looking to be in poor health lately & had lost a lot of his hair, but we
were hoping that it was due to a flea allergy. Not too long after we got the
kittens, Adolph finally stepped into the trap! Yes, we would actually be
able to get him to the vet to be altered, apply flea meds & see what else
this poor boy needed. I had visions of him suddenly realizing that we were his
friends & we were going to make everything okay. I actually told him that
even. Sadly, when we took him to the vet, we discovered that he had FIV (not in itself a death sentence, but he was very sick). The decision was made to end his suffering, but not until
after he was shown kindness & had a belly full of extra special food. We really struggled with this decision & feel horrible that he never got the chance at happiness that he deserved. We do not even have a picture of him, but our vet's office so kindly made a paw print for us. I guess if we had been able to communicate with him through words, we would want him to know that he mattered & even though we were not able to show him in the traditional way, we loved him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are still in the process of catching mama cat. She is
smarter than smart. We have witnessed her sticking her paws through the back of
the trap & “scooping” food up & out to herself (fixed that by enclosing
entire trap except for the entrance). We have watched her side step into the
trap barely missing stepping on the trigger. We have tried luring her into a
room(& separately a crate) by using her kittens as bait. We have tried
everything. We have spoken with our vet about sedatives & any alternatives
& basically we just have to keep trying what we are doing & hope that
we are able to catch her before she gets too sick to help & before she has
another litter of kittens. It is so sad to see her all alone now. I can only imagine that she fears us even more since we first took away her babies & then her companion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking of the kittens, we fostered them until
they were able to leave for rescue. Needless to say, we were completely stressed
out while waiting to see if the kittens would test negative for FIV. Thank God
they were negative!!! From what we have read & also after speaking with our vet, there is a good chance that mama cat is FIV negative as usually kittens who come from a + mother will test + until 12-14 weeks of age even if they are not actually infected. All of our personal cats are seniors & we had
forgotten how energetic young cats are! For the first couple of weeks we worked
really hard on trying to rid them of their mama’s feral behavior. I even pulled
the baby bed mattress into the room they were staying in & slept on it in
order to speed the taming process up a little. What can we say, is there
anything cuter than kittens?<br />

Our niece had agreed to stay at our house & take care of the cats, kittens (a story for another day) & Sherry, but a couple of days before we left, North Star Dog Rescue offered to take Sherry into their rescue program.<br />

They have an awesome foster mom that has no other pets. Things could not have worked out more perfect if we had planned it! So off Sherry went to the vet for her health certificate. <br />

<br />Sherry was adopted into her forever home within a week of going to VT!!! Not only does she now have her own human family, she also has 2 kitty siblings. She has already started training & enjoys going to work with her Mom! We could not have hoped for anything better for sweetie pie Sherry who is now known as Lucy (love it)!!

Annie loved it instantly. Unlike me, she is not a fan of the BIG WAVES. She is 15 years old but she was as active as a puppy when we reached the water's edge.<br />

Another great shot of Annie. Mr. and Annie found a big crab on the shore. Annie wanted to eat it but Mr. walked her away. Annie is not afraid of any animals! She's super silly...<br />

Me, Annie, Mr., Mrs., and My Boy finally went on a vacation. They had not been on a vacation in over five years and I did not even know what the word "vacation" meant! When the family decided they would be able to swing a vacation, they knew they had to go somewhere that they could bring us with them. Over the years they had heard people talking about the Outer Banks being very dog friendly. They focused on that area & low & behold, they found a great littler village on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatteras_Island">Hatteras Island</a> called <a href="http://www.outerbanks.org/outerbanks-buxton/">Buxton. </a>We stayed at <a href="http://www.buxtonbeachmotel.com/">Buxton Beach Motel</a>.It was a great value & the owners are very friendly. They make a special effort to make you feel right at home. Once we got there we found out that they are involved in animal rescue too! BONUS!!<br />

<strong>MISSING!</strong> Bandit was just recently adopted and has escaped from his adoptive home on Cambell Way in Tobyhanna PA on 6/4. He is wearing an ID tag with a phone number. He is skittish. If sighted, do not chase. Sit down and call him...he may come to you if you're low to the ground. He may also come for treats. He weighs about 25 lb. He likes to go for car rides, so may jump into the car if you stop and open your door.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline;">
General location is Route 196 about 1-1/2 miles north of the intersection of 196 and 611. He's been sighted once not far from his home. Victoria Drive and King's Way both lead into the development where his owners live.</div>

Both pooches were around 20 lbs which is a little less than a 1/3 of a Pauley James, but let me tell you, those little dogs ruled the roost!! And by roost, I mean ME! I am sceared of those little dogs. They say jump & I ask how high!! Truffles & Bandit went to Happy Dog Rescue! Thank you Happy Dog Rescue & STAR!!!</span></div>

STAR has been super duper busy with regular intake of pets from the
pound, but they also stepped up to help an elderly hoarder & have so far
taken in 40 dogs with MORE to come from the same home!!! As you can imagine the
vetting for the 40 dogs, is costly. The outstanding vetting bill before the
hoarder dogs was taken in was already around $5,000.00. So, if you have any
extra green papers, STAR does have a <a href="http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/40-hoarder-dogs-need-vetting-/59986?utm_source=widget"><span style="color: magenta;">fundraising</span></a> page set up. All funds go directly to
the vetting & care of the animals. Also a STAR supporter has been kind
enough to host a <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/shop/catalog.aspx?eventId=E3291554&from=DIRECTLINK&verify=true"><span style="color: magenta;">Thirty-One fundraiser</span></a>. Please shop to
your little hearts delight :) STAR will receive 25% of the proceeds. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have recently taken a more active role in rescue & instead of just fostering, we now handle adoption & rescue inquiries too. As you can imagine when you throw all of our animals, full time jobs & family into the mix, we do not have much time for anything else.<br />

So to catch everyone up, both Jenny & Joseph have been adopted!! Jenny went to a family with a stay at home mom & a 2 two legger sister! Joseph's foster family was to take him to an adoption event, but instead they had a family meeting & decided they wanted to adopt him!<br />

We did a 1 night only foster gig in order to take Hopper (now known as Dylan) to his forever family.Hopper/Dylan was injured & luckily a STAR member came to his rescue. Sadly, his leg had to be amputated. After his amputation surgery, he went to a wonderful foster home where he was able to recover from his ordeal & become ready for his next step. While in our home he amazed us all by how well he could get around; even wanting to run & play ball!! He is such a pretty boy!<br />

We agreed that until Sherry finds her own home that we are not going to do any other fostering as it is too much stress with keeping her separate from everyone & making sure that everyone gets 1 on 1 time, but I had to jump in when I saw sweetie pie Liberty's face & story. She was taken in (along with 6 other dogs) from an abusive home. She ( & 2 puppies) got rescue very quickly with S.P.A.R.E. Pets ♥♥♥ We are fostering her for 2 weeks until she gets to go on transport.<br />

Thank you for the kind words about our Chi Pooh. I still catch myself thinking I see her & waiting for her to jump in my lap. She was a grand old gal (who could be quite the diva) & we were blessed to have her with us as long as we did. As old as she was, she was still more active than our other kitties & if you did something that she did not like, she would not think twice about putting you in your place :)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sherry came into the local pound with her sister. Her sister
(Charlotte) tested positive for heart-worms & since we are an hour away from
STAR, Charlotte went to a local foster home where she would be close to the vet
for treatment. At this point, Sherry had been in a kennel with her sister, Charlotte for 4 months. When we picked up Sherry & Jenny, right away, there was
growling from Sherry. We separated them in the vehicle & I thought that
Sherry must need slow introductions; not a problem, we can handle that. This
turned out not to be the case. Anytime a dog gets near Sherry, she reacts
negatively. What does this mean for Sherry? It means that she must stay away
from the other dogs & therefore is relegated to the foster house. Our
normal procedure is to rotate the dogs so that everyone gets "house
time". Since Sherry can't be near other dogs in the home, she does not get
"house time". She spends the majority of her time alone. She does get
a walk each day & one of us will go sit with her for 30-60 minutes each
evening. On weekends, she gets extra time with people & normally a hike or
two. She has shown no signs of discomfort with her situation & seems
perfectly happy. While we feel horrible for her isolation, we really do not
have a choice. We emailed a video of her to a trainer & after asking
several questions, they said that it appears to be fear aggression. They also
directed me to a great website that has tips & training ideas (thank you
thank you!). The problem is I am scared to death of dog fights & am a
nervous wreck even thinking about working with Sherry & any of the other
dogs. I know that this will make the problem worse. This also means that her
chances of getting rescued are pretty much zero as most of the rescues that
STAR works with are foster based & can’t risk bringing a dog like Sherry
into their home. So where does this leave us? We need to find either a trainer
who is looking for something to do with the next several months of their life
or we need to find an adoptive home with no other dogs. We have tried walking her daily with the other dogs as a group & individually & we have gotten no further with her. Do we feel Sherry is
worth saving? ABSOLUTELY! With people, she is very gentle & loves
attention. When she goes for her daily walk, her tail never stops wagging. She
is low maintenance, calm & content to lay next to you while you read a
book. She knows how to “sit” & does great on leash. She is house-trained
& quiet as a mouse. She is great with
Pauley’s Boy! We love her. </span><br />
<br />
* In theory we know that resources are best spent on helping the dogs that are all around solid, but it is very different when you know the actual dogs at stake.<br />
**This was written several weeks ago & since then, we have started bringing Sherry inside for short periods of time (everyone else is put up). And she has even spent several nights in the extra bedroom & she is very well behaved.</div>

He was found on the side of the road on Christmas Eve. He had been hit by a car & had been laying there all day. Thankfully a couple of wonderful people stopped & picked up Joseph & got him to STAR.<br />

My foster brother, Pauley James, was nice enough to let me take over the blog for one day! He's in the living room with Mr. and the Boy getting ready to watch the Super Bowl. I have no interest in the game, but I do like the commercials! Anyway, me and Mrs. went to Greenbo Lake for a Girl's Day Out recently and I thought I would share a few pictures. Here I am with my nose working overtime! So many new smells. I love the woods---new smells, new sounds, and new sights!!</div>

As you can see, I am a very pretty girl (LOL---not trying to brag!). The Mrs. is teasing me with a treat here. I will sit quite a while if someone is about to give me a delicious treat! <br />

My foster family tells me that Pauley and Annie lose their minds when they see the water. I think water is for drinking but not swimming! If you follow Pauley's blog, you know Pauley and Annie love swimming in the water. They must have never watched JAWS or LAKE PLACID. I do think it was very pretty around the lake, though.</div>

One of my absolute favorite things to do is go on walks! We go on walks every day (rain, snow, or shine). BUT when Mr., Mrs., or my Boy opens the car door, we know we are in for a real treat and going somewhere special or different. A couple of Saturdays ago, after several days of rain---we got in the car and went to somewhere I had never been. It seemed like we were in the car for a long time and when the car FINALLY did stop we were at the <a href="http://www.hmoa.org/">Huntington Museum Of Art</a> in Huntington, West Virginia.</div>

I was extremely puzzled at first because I knew most humans would not allow me (and Annie or Jenny) into an art museum! (Man oh man, that would a sight). Then, after we had our leashes on---at the end of the parking lot, there was a path! All three of us had grins when we saw that path...Bring on the adventure!</div>

The writing on this stone says it all. Yes, we love walks, but we really LOVE being on a path in the forest. So many new smells and sounds!!! It was a warm day and it felt like fall with all those orange leaves crackling beneath my paws.</div>

After some intense walking and smelling (and marking some new territories), we stopped at a little break area for some water and so Mrs. could snap a few pictures. She sure does love taking those pictures! As you can see, me and Jenny were all smiles. We were hoping for an up close and personal encounter with a squirrel or rabbit but it did not happen! However, those critters were making noises that stopped us in our tracks (or maybe it was the wind?). </div>

Here is something that I find a little scary...Throughout the path, there was lots of rocks and occasionally, these rocks would have faces on them!!! I have never seen anything like it. Who did it and why? Not all them were easy to spot. My humans seemed to think it was neat but not me. I think these faces are SPOOKY! *</div>

Here's me and my Boy in front of an eerie old gate. Looks like a haunted house should be behind us, huh? Maybe when my Boy gets his driver's license next year, we can get a van and be like Shaggy and Scooby Doo and go solve mysteries. Plus, eat giant sandwiches like Shaggy and Scooby as well---that's the best part of every episode. </div>

Look at Jenny! She was real excited to be on the walk as well. I definitely enjoy having her as a foster sister. Not only do we both like lounging on the couch (especially the new couch) and having treats...we enjoy long walks in the woods! I don't mind sharing my Boy with her either.</div>

This part of the path was a little different, too! There were rocks that reminded me of the steps at the back of our house. Except they were super STEEP and there were bigger rocks on either side and you had to squeeze between them.</div>

Here's Jenny again enjoying a little break after sneaking between a section of those big rocks. I bet she has spotted more of those Weirdo Rock Faces! </div>

She did! Yikes!!! The weirdest carving yet! I don't know what makes humans do such things. It IS sort of neat (and still scary), though.</div>

Actually, here is what Jenny was looking at! It's The Boy and he is having to lift Annie's bottom up a section of those narrow rock stairs. My older sister Annie LOVES walking and even though she is getting older, most of the time she is ahead of me on walks (especially in the forest). But her arthritis had acted up on her when we hit this round of steps. I was pooped myself!</div>

There she is again! She's got it now...It was just that first BIG step that held her up for a bit. It really was a monster step.</div>

Here we are at the end of the walk having a little more water before the drive home. Tired, but satisfied. A day that I will never forget! Look at Jenny---do you think she hears one of those pesky rabbits or squirrels??? Maybe we'll spot one on the next hike.</div>

Either Mr. or Mrs. spotted this statue of two bears and had me and The Boy strike a quick pose before we left.</div>

* The carvings were done by Glenwood, W.Va. folk artist Earl Gray, & we were lucky enough to take a guided hike several years ago at which Mr. Gray was present.
