 | | Barked: Tue Jan 13, '09 10:22pm PST | |  | |  | | My little Francie did not like being brushed when she was a puppy. I decided to try it in the evening before bedtime when she was tired and she gradually became used to it. If you use a very soft brush and just brush a little bit at a time then give Jesse a treat each time he might begin to accept it. At first Francie tried to chew the brush! Have patience and never force him to let you brush him and don't get angry with him because it might make him nervous and afraid and he will never want to be brushed. Just be calm and gentle and give him a treat even if you only are able to touch the brush to his coat once or twice. Good Luck! Let us know if you are successful! |  |  | |  |

| | Barked: Tue Dec 30, '08 12:03pm PST | | | | | | My New Year's resolution is to try and not be so scared of little kids! When I was a tiny baby there was a very rough 6 year old boy in that house who didn't understand that I was a delicate little baby who didn't want to be thrown around or hit or yelled at. Every time I see or hear a kid I remember those scary weeks and go all trembly and jelly like and want to go home! Mommy promised me I would never have to go through anything like that again and wants to help me more to become brave and not so nervous! I am going to try really hard----2009 here I come!!
Love, Francie XOXO | | | | |

I'm so soft and fluffy after my bath and smell sooooo good! She also uses Chris Christensen Ice on Ice conditioning/detangling spray each time she brushes me---it has UV protection and keeps my sweet little puppy cut in great condition!

Subject: Help Shut Down a Puppymill
Alert 5/8/08 The Dogs vs. Junior Horton
PLEASE CROSS POST!!
Junior Horton will be tried on Friday, 5/16/08, at 1pm in Carroll County.
If there ever was a day to speak out for the animals, this is it.
We need you to come to the trial.
This is where it all starts - with the Mr. Hortons of Carroll County, Virginia, and in places like his puppymill there.
Now it is time to say to every citizen of Virginia and every elected official in Virginia that you will not tolerate animal cruelty and flagrant violation of the law.
Background:
On 11/1/07, Carroll County Animal Control authorities were contacted by Virginia Partnership for Animal Welfare and Support (VA PAWS) concerning a puppymill located in the Town of Hillsville. A team of animal control professionals along with a veterinarian visited the property and found 1,080 small breed dogs of various ages in several locations on the property, including buildings and cages. The wner/operator of the puppy mill, Lanzie Horton, Jr., had a license to keep 500 dogs. He consented to the surrender of 980+ dogs on that date. Source: Carroll County Animal Control Press Release
There was an outpouring of assistance from a network of shelters to aid in this rescue operation. Volunteers from the Washington region joined others from Florida and New York who streamed to the rural town of Hillsville. It’s been incredible, Carroll County Administrator Gary Larrowe said. Larrowe had declared a state of emergency after hundreds of dogs were found living in filthy cages. Officials said they think it is the largest suspected puppy mill ever found in the state. Source: Petloverstips.com,
11/11/07; Houston Chronicle, 11/11/07; inRich.com, 11/11/07.
Horton surrendered to authorities on 1/31/08 and was released on $5,000 bond.
Source: WHSV, Harrisonburg, VA News. He was charged on 1/31/08 with 14 counts of animal cruelty (punishable by fine of $2,500 and 1 year in jail on each charge), 25 counts of animal neglect (punishable by fine of not more than $500 each count) and one count of failing to obtain a license tax for 125 unlicensed adult dogs (punishable by fine of $250). The charges accuse Horton of depriving dogs of necessary food, drink, shelter or emergency veterinary treatment, and of failing to adequately house, feed, water, exercise or care for animals in his possession. Source: The Roanoke Times,
2/2/08.
What can happen:
Mr. Horton is charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty, and each count is punishable by a fine of $2,500 and a year in jail. If found guilty of all 14 counts, that certainly should get the attention of Mr. Horton and all the other Horton Wannabees in Virginia.
And do you know what has happened since?
Mr. Horton surrendered over 980 dogs, letting others pick up the tab for his flagrant violation of the law as they fed, cared for, and provided veterinary care for that incredible number of dogs.
And are you ready for this?
Mr. Horton is still in business, still selling dogs.
This case broke in November and here we are, 6 months later, still waiting for justice to be meted out on behalf of the dogs.
And after many shelters and rescues in Virginia and beyond spent over a quarter of a million dollars providing medical care and shelter to dogs from the Horton puppymill.
There is information on the case on the Carroll County website giving much
information: http://gov.carrollcountyva.org/animalcontrol/index.php?
module=page master&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=3&MMN_position=8:8
Remember this and the Bland County fire (the Schmucker case) are the reasons you all worked so hard and were successful in passing HB 538 ? Del. Orrick’s puppymill bill. Now we need to you come to the trial. We want a crowd ? a large crowd!!
Please don’t say it’s too far, or you have to work. Many of you can make the drive, and many of you can take a day away to do this. It is that important.
We know about the cost of gas, and if any of you can’t attend because of gas cost, let us know and a gas fund will be established, or just call it the tax deduction to VAW (Virginians for Animal Welfare) that it is.
Under any circumstances, get your email machine out and start sending to as many as you can, and tell others, in Carroll County or elsewhere, to do the same. This isn’t a Carroll County problem. It’s a Virginia problem. No, it’s an American problem.
And this is hardly the way Carroll County wants Virginia and the rest of the country to think of it.
Let Carroll County officials know the animal welfare community across the US is watching, and Carroll County is on the radar screen whether it wants to be or not.
Let the people who run Carroll County know that you want Mr. Horton convicted and sentenced to the max ? no token fines, no little slaps on the wrist, no more continuances ? just do it and convict him, put him out of business, and prevent him from having any further commercial involvement with dogs. He
deserves no less.
Here are the contacts, and you needn’t be clever or long-winded. Just say you fully expect Mr. Horton will be severely punished if convicted, and you expect nothing like this will ever happen there again.
The trial starts at 1:00 pm on Friday, 5/16/08 at:

Please also contact the Commonwealth Attorney for your own county (see your county/city website) and ask them what they suggest you do to draw attention to the Horton case, and ask what they will do if puppymills are found in your own county.
Please contact the State Veterinarian and ask him how he and his staff are working to eliminate puppymills in Virginia. Ask nicely but ask exactly what they have done to expedite proper implementation of Virginia law with the Horton case and other puppymills in Virginia.
Richard Wilkes, DVM, State Veterinarian, Virginia
Richard.Wilkes@vdacs.virginia.gov
Please contact the Animal Control Officer for Carroll County, Terry Woods, and ask what he may need to do his job and make sure the law is enforced, particularly with the Horton puppymill, but also generally in Carroll County. Terry Woods, Animal Control Officer, Carroll County Woods@CarrollCountyva.org
A long way to drive for some of you, many contacts for each of you to make, but doing this is why we are all involved. This only gets better if everyone gets involved. You now have a chance to make something happen. Grab the chance and do it.
Thank you. | | | | |

| | Barked: Sat May 10, '08 5:41am PST | | | | | | I received this link about a puppy mill in Lancaster, CA closing. Please send to any CA contacts you may have. I hope the shelter screens the adoptees because the offer of a free Yorkie could attract all kinds of unsuitable owners and those little souls run the huge risk of going straight from one hell to another! There are 300 abused babies available and there are some Maltese in there!!! As many yorkie rescue groups as possible need to jump in ASAP!! Please send this on to anyone you think might be able to help.
