An Update and a little Doggy Drama


Do you remember Bomber? Do you remember Bomber's lady that would not come near us? We were worried to pull Bomber because we were not sure what would happen to Bomber's lady if left alone. Bomber got so bad that we decided we had to pull him. By the way, he is doing great, still looking for a home, but doing 100% better. He is a sweet boy. I have a story I'll tell you about him after I am done with this story. So, we were so worried about Bomber's lady, but still decided to pull Bomber. Lo and behold, and I am not exaggerating, the very next day, Bomber's lady had picked up this handsome boy above. They have not been apart since. They live in this abandoned house together. I don't know any other dogs in East St. Louis who only hang out with one other dog of the opposite sex. She definitely has a hold over her man and has no problems moving on if given the shaft. What I really want to know and I bet Bomber would love to know is, was this going on before Bomber left? What a floozy. These are the Days of our Dogs. End with theme song.

Bomber Story: As told by his foster, Mia Jameson:
I'm traveling and Dan is in charge of all 6 dogs at home. Today they all wanted to eat (around 6:30am) but Dan was still sleeping. They tried to wake him very forcefully by barking, jumping on the bed (not Bomber - he can't get up on the bed with those legs) and poking their faces into Dan' face to wake him. He got mad, yelled, pulled the covers over his head and retreated back under the covers. Then Bomber grabbed all the bedding and dragged if off the bed and across the room! Dan said it was a mad house with all 6 dogs carrying on very loudly. He got up and fed them......they all celebrated their success. I hope Bomber's new family find his resourcefulness as funny as we do!

One more thing! We are looking for volunteers for our movie, as well as for our Art Auction. We need fundraisers for the movie so that we can afford all of the movie type things that come along with making a movie. We need volunteers to do research for us for the movie. We need people to help coordinate as the time gets closer to the art auction. I am going to need several people to help with setup. Anyway, I am unsure how to find volunteers. Does anyone have any suggestions on outlets to find good, animal loving, ambitious folks to help out with these projects? I want people who are genuinely interested in helping, because if their hearts are not into it, then I find that it usually does not work out. Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could use the typical outlets like craigslist or petfinder.com forums...I know there's also a few St. Louis dog groups on Yahoo. Maybe also talking to some local veterinary clinics and shelters and seeing if anyone would be willing to let you hang up flyers?
