A Deserving Black Lab Gets Help

Lisa’s heart warming story of a dog’s rescue continues…

“The following weekend I returned. Again a 45-minute drive across the county. The food was gone, but there was no way to determine if she or another wild animal had eaten it. Knowing her comfort with the abandoned house, I decided to begin feeding her there. At that point, I reasoned that at least I would know that she wouldn’t starve, and that hopefully, foraging less would bring a measure of safety.

The Luckiest Black Lab in the World

This is the first part of a remarkable rescue story told by one of my customers with a heart of gold…

Sweetie’s Story
By Lisa Clark

Saint Patrick’s Day March 17, 2004. A day I had no way of recognizing at the time as the beginning of a three-month long quest to save a dog’s life. The day a colleague mentioned that a homeless female dog looking like a black lab was staying with her puppies in an abandoned house outside of Laurel, DE., in an area known as Columbia. My colleague told me about the dog because she knew that I wouldn’t be able to hear of a dog starving, left to fend for itself and protect her puppies, without wrapping my heart around the dog’s story and propelling myself to action.

Pet Bird Story from Across the Pond

Here’s a wonderful narrative from my new friend Avril (aka Rosalie) who is a musician and fellow animal lover from the British Isles.

“We started the aviary over 10 years ago, more like 15, from two zebra finches purchased from a local pet shop. Apart from a few "imports" to mix the gene pool a bit, they have multiplied with enthusiasm, as you can see from the pics. They are quite self regulating, actually, this incredibly fecund year follows a couple of years when the population dwindled to a mere half dozen or so, but this year is more than making up for it.

A Pit Bull Story

Suzette, one of my customers, sent me this wonderful story about her pit bull Vito:

"I acquired "Homer the Homeless" at 5 weeks old. Having a 14 yr old Golden Retriever, I really did NOT want a puppy. Let alone a pit bull.

Snowshoe Siamese finds a New Home

My new friend Jamie took Lady home with her last night.

Jamie and her cousin Misty met me at my house and we rode to Donna’s apartment for a first meeting. (I discovered I had a slight cat allergy when Lady was in our home and had to move her back there for a few days.)

Lady the Snowshoe Siamese Visits The Magic Zoo

For several days now Lady the snowshoe Siamese cat has been sharing our home. It’s been years since I’ve been covered with cat hair and demands for pets, and it’s all coming back to me now. I could really get used to this, if only I was a “stay-at-home” artist.

Lady the Snowshoe Siamese Cat

Lady the cat is a beautiful snowshoe Siamese that has shared her life with my husband’s Cousin Donna for the past few years.

Donna is an elderly and much loved relative whom we moved from her single existence in Los Angeles to an apartment in Clearwater so she’d have family around her. This was a little over a year ago, and we’ve enjoyed having Donna and her beautiful cat in our lives.

A Donkey in a Well?

I couldn’t resist reading the story about Amos the donkey from Minnesota who fell into a well.

The funny thing was, when I typed it into the search engine to read more about it, the first several entries were about a famous parable of the same name- A donkey that fell in the well!

An Amazing Dolphin Named Winter

The story of Winter, the dolphin who lost her tail in a run-in with a buoy line in a crab trap really touched me.

Apparently she was tangled in this line and when she tried to get away it tightened around her tail. The blood flow was cut off from the flukes causing her tail to eventually fall off.
