OCTOBER 2009 DROH ADOPTIONS

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"A loving friendship, formed over thousands of years, flourishes between dogs and human beings. Dogs have left the hunting pack of their ancestors and have become members of our human world."

--- Celia Hadden

Hi my friends,



I have missed you guys so much in the last few days but Mommy just wasn't much into doing anything but crying. Mommy thought it was all over but this morning we got some bad news and she started crying all over again, but we gotta share the good news first

Woof! Stock



Next weekend, DROH will be participating in Woof! Stock for the second year in a row. I am so excited. We are gonna have a booth where we can sell stuff Aunt Judy makes like harnesses, belly bands, leashes, caps and a bunch of other stuff plus the bandannas Nancy makes, and our DROH T-shirts. There is gonna be a costume contest and Guess what? Me and Brooklyn are gonna wear our cheerleader outfits. Guess what else? I gotta get my kisser in shape cause we're taking the kissing booth and I have volunteered by lips to raise money for DROH. Here are the details. Sure would be nice if some of my Texas DWB friends could come, I'd give my kisses away for free to them.

With the celebration of dogs and their human companions in mind, Woof! Stock 09 will be held November 7, 2009 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Clear Lake Park Landolt Pavilion. Since 2003, this annual event has been featuring a wide array of entertainment for our canine friends and their people, and is the major fundraiser for Bay Area Pet Adoptions/SPCA.

Woof! Stock 09 will feature dog games, competitions and costume contests, Houston Canine Frisbee Disc Club demonstrations, animal communicator Griffin Kanter, a Blessing of the Dogs Ceremony, Breed Rescue organizations, animal friendly vendors, drawings, raffles, shopping, photographs, food, music, and much more. Micro chipping, a permanent form of identification used to identify your canine friend in the event they are separated from you, will be available for a donation. Admission is $10 for individuals and $25 for a family. One Woof! Stock 09 T-shirt is included in the individual admission price and two Woof! Stock 09 T-shirts are included in the family admission price. All funds from admission price and other donations go to support the animals that are waiting for forever homes at Bay Area Pet Adoptions/SPCA.Bay Area Pet Adoptions/SPCA has been serving the Houston/Galveston Bay Area since 1967. Our primary mission is to find homes for the companion animals taken into our program, while providing them with necessary medical care and socialization skills until adoption.

Travis Update

Dachshund Rescue Of Houston UPDATE: Travis is doing well, he is back at the vet's office as he is not a big fan of taking it easy and leaving his "cast" alone. We will update with pictures soon.

Dachshund Rescue Of Houston
He is also not to jump, run or play for 8 weeks. He thinks he is all better and ready to go but we and the vet staff know better. Soon enough he will be ready to go!

Travis is doing better and better everyday. He was staying with Meredith under her watchful eyes, as earlier reported, but no one was able to keep him quite. He is very bored and hates being crated but it's the only way for the time being. Again from the bottom of our hearts, God Bless all who have helped make him whole again.

Steve Update

Remember Steve? Well we now know when he's all well, he is gonna be a beautiful velvet looking black & tan hunk just like my brother Jacks is.

This is his original website picture when he came into the DROH program.

This picture was taken last month.

Every morning before she leaves for work Mommy reads the e-mails we get during the night and this morning she found one from my Uncle Ron about Randy. He passed away last night of old age. DROH never knew how old he was just that he was very old. Thank God there are fosters like Uncle Ron and Deb, that foster dogs we call Forever Fosters. There are very few people that are interested in adopting a old dog but they deserve a good home too. With Randy's passing DROH has 5 Forever Fosters that will be with their fosters until they go to the bridge or someone adopts them. There are pictures of all of them on the DROH website. Please pray with all of DROH that someday Coney, Copper, Penny #3, Rusty #3 or Toby #2 find their forever homes but not to worry, they are all in good hands & dearly loved.

RIP sweet Randy..........19XX--2009

E-mail:

It is with a heavy heart that Deb and I must tell you we lost Randy last night. For those who don't know, he was one of our forever fosters. We are grateful to have had Randy for the two short years he lived with us. He will always be remembered and missed... Ron


Gotta go now, Mommy eyes have started leaking again thinking about Randy and it's way past my dinner time.

Love, kisses and {{{huggies}}} to all........Mona
