Thank you

Hello Dogster Community,
My name is Tammy Rhodes. I am Sherry's daughter. I was able to figure out Mom's password and wanted to send a message to all of her friends on Dogster. Mom absolutely loved socializing on Dogster and Catster and all the many friends she made on the websites. It was one of the things in life that she truly enjoyed.

I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of love and support you've shown since Mom passed away. I have read your posts and received cards from all over the U.S. and other countries. It is amazing the people she knew and touched. Words cannot express the loss I feel, but the cards and words of sympathy have definitely helped with my healing process.

Many have asked about Haley Belle, Sadie and Stormy. Initially when Mom became ill, they had some small adjustment issues. Thankfully now all are doing just fine and have adjusted to life without Mom quite well. I appreciate your concern.

Thank you again for your kindness and sympathy. It is deeply appreciated.

Our extended family !

I know we aren't around much but never forget we love you ALL deeply. You all remember helping us get over the loss of Ghost and the diagnosed diabetes of our fur sis Sadie Mae. Well she has really been up and down and now Monday she has a batteries of tests (8hours) they are 99% sure she has Cushings disease on top of her diabetes so now you know why our momma is kinda down. Way down. So may we please ask for POP for Sadie Mae once again. There are other things going on too just to much to bother you all with.
Please keep us in your prayers, don't forget us and we as always will check in as often as we can.
Wags, purrs and love,
Haley Belle, Stormy Lynn, Sadie Mae (not on dogster) and our momma Sherry

Update

Morning all precious members,
This is Sherry, momma to Haley Belle, Stormy Lynn and Sadie Mae. Just wanted to come on and give you all an update.
First we ALL want to thank you that have prayed, thought of , lite candles etc for Ghost and Sadie Mae.
Ghost we lost 2 weeks ago today from an unknown tumor. We were treating him for auto immunity disease. While his second set of blood work looked better he continuted to get worse. He was on very strong antibodics and vitamins plus iron but at the end he stopped eating. On the night we made the decesion to stop his pain he was already mouning the death moune and was ready to go to the bridge. I had him since he was 5 weeks old and I will always love miss him. As many of you know he was our 3rd loss in less than a year.
Sadie Mae had always we thought had trouble with her typroid. Wrong ! 5 days after letting go of Ghost she started acting funny. We momma's know these things. So we rushed her to the best specalist hospital in Louisville. She was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, uninary tract infection and a heart murmur without any signs. She has been through parvo and surgery for bladder stones so was always carefully watched by our vets. After 4 days in the hospital and a $2400, bill she is home !!! She is doing very well on her new diet and her insulin shots and is feeling much better but we still need your prayers because tomorrow (Wednesday) is her first set of blood work since then. After all this I have been very very sad. Dr called it depression so I am working on that too. We will start being off and on but wanted more than anything to Thank you for all the support from you wonderful loving pets and your parents. There is no way to thank you personally but thank you !!!
Love, wags and purrs,
Sherry, Haley Belle and Stormy Lynn

Ghost update!

Ghost is dehyrated, anemia and a severe URI or it could be Immume Defichency Disease which is like leukemia. We will know in 5 days, He is so very sick so please everyone continue to pray for him. How does a 20 plus pound totally indoor cat get this sick ??? Excuse my spelling I am wiped out !!!

POP

Our feline brother, Ghost, is very sick. Please would every one just say a prayer for him. He is not on catster but momma is putting his pic on our page. We are waiting on the vet to call now. will keep you posted til then please pray. momma can't take losing another.

Shelter Work

As many of you have noticed Stormy Lynn and I have not been as active as normal. Well it is momma's job. Shelter work triples in the summer months as we are sure you all know so she is triple busy. Litter after litter come in every single day !!! We love each and every one of you but here is our question to you. As we WILL remain members would you want us to step down as adminstrators until we have more to give? Homeless pets are momma's number one passion (besides us of course) and she doesn't want us to let any of you down. So think about it and please let us know.
Until then -Please adopt a pet and spay or neuter !!!

Flood 09 Louisville, Ky.

As so many of you know my momma works at our local Humane Society and has for 23 years. We had some damage from the flood but our Metro Animal Services was wiped away. They had over 575 dogs and cats that we all helped save and set up a make shift shelter at our local fairgrounds. Unfortunatly they lost 12 cats and 1 dog due to the flooding. It was really really emotional. Momma has always been proud of her organization but even more if that is possible for the help we gave to our local pound.
I am happy to save they are up and running again so things are getting back to normal. Momm's work place was the only ONE opened to take in pets from all over Louisville and offered boarding at our 2 resorts for personal pets during these 3 to 4 days we helped Metro.
KENTUCKY HUMANE SOCIETY ROCKS !
