In Memory of Beau


We want to thank you for helping us to adopt Beau, a beautiful cocker spaniel, in 2002.  He was a very special part of our lives and it was with great sadness yesterday that we had to have him put to sleep.  It was time as he was almost 16 and the medications that he needed were no longer working.

Once our hearts have mended a bit, we will be reaching out later this fall to adopt another cocker spaniel.....but we will need a little time.  Beau will never be forgotten nor will the joy and happiness that he brought into our lives.

But I want to thank you for helping us to find such a special "boy" and that we will be in touch in a bit hoping to adopt another cocker spaniel.

Cocker Spaniel Plant Hangers


I discovered someone that will make us plant hangers with the Cocker Spaniel design from our business card.  They can make all kinds of animals, flowers, birds etc....  The hangers are made out of metal and are powder coated black.  I will be taking orders for them to see what kind of interest there is for them.  A portion of the sales will be donated to CSAC.  The sizes vary for the different styles that he makes, but the Cocker Spaniel is approx.  10" high X 12" long.  The cost will be $15.00 each.  Shipping will be extra from me to you.  I am not sure how long it will be to get them made because this is a side job/hobby for the man that makes them.  I am trying to get better prices by buying in a larger quantity in hopes to make more $$$ for CSAC.  If I get a good response from everyone, I will also order some extra to sell at events.

These will also make some adorable Christmas Gifts!!!!!

Princess Wobbie's Happy Ending


This is from Princess Wobbie (formerly Mindy), she was one of my puppy mill fosters.  She came to me scared of everything.  It took weeks to get her to do stairs.  She would only go outside if she ran past you with one of my dogs.  Sounds like she is finally adjusting to her new life.  She was adopted by a wonderful couple in Baltimore and has a feline brother, Milo, who showed her how to use the "doggie" door.


It has almost been a year since I came to live with these humans and I find
that it is nice here.  I stayed in my crate at night for about 8 months.  During
the day I was getting use to the "big house".  I found the kitchen right away
(thats where the food is).  I spent most of my time in the family room where my
crate was.  I felt safe there.  Gradually I joined the people in the dining room
(thats where their food is).  Then I realized it was nice to sit with the people
in the den, and then the living room.  I even followed Milo upstairs to the
bedroom (to see if there was food up there-LOL!).  As you can see I pretty much
have the run of the place.  The crate has been retired to the shed and I sleep
on mom's Mexican blanket (she really bought it for me).  We are still working on
my bathroom habits.  I'm 100% during the day but I don't like going out in the
dark at night.The cats out there can be mean.  I only like my yard when my
parents are with me and taking a walk around the neighborhood can be scary.  I
feel more relaxed if I can see what is going on in front of me and mom talks to
me along the way.  I even let mom give me loveies now and that man person is
growing on me.  He is very patient.  I have a new vet,  Dr. "Peanut butter". 
She knew right away how to win me over.  I have bad cocker ears but Dr. Peanut
butter knows just what to do.  These people must love me.  They even gave me a
"pet" name, Princess Woobie.  I like being a princess!!  I think I'll stay here. 
Say hi to Patch and all the other dogs. 

Have a Great Summer,
Princess Wobbie, a.k.a Mindy 



 
 
Chester's Happy Ending

This is Chester, formerly JoJo. We heard from his Mom and Dad and he is doing great! Here is an update they sent us.

Jojo, now Chester is doing well.  We truly love and adore him and he us.  Our other cocker Mollie accepted him at once as did our cat, Wolfie. Chester and Wolfie even like to play together.  Chester has lots of energy and loves to go for walks and fetch balls.  I will send you a photo and video from my phone.  We took him to the vet for a checkup and he is in perfect health.  He was so eager to meet the doctor that he slipped out of the exam room with the vet tech.  Everyone there was charmed by his joyful spirit.

  


Thank you so much for checking in and all you and the other volunteers do for CSAC!
