It's quiet for the moment, but this week will be filled with celebrations. Fireworks are only one part of the concerns... granted, it's the major one... but we also need to be concerned about the heat and dangerous foods and beverages that might be nabbed at the barbeque this weekend. Please keep them safe.

It has been said it takes a village to raise a child but it also takes a village to rescue these pets. Today that village worked. We want to thank everyone who offered help and we especially want to think the two people responsible for helping save this kitten. The person who cared enough to contact us and take care of the kitten until we could get something else for it. They had been told by someone else to just leave it where it was at, but they did not want their dogs to hurt it or to just lay there. The second is the one who came to pick it up and try to get it to a vet. While unsuccessful in getting an appointment, APL called back and the kitten is being transported there. The person who contacted us will be able to check tomorrow to see how the kitten is doing. We think each, and every one of you who reached out to see if they could help, someone who reached out to a rescuer and that rescuer who reached out to us. You are all amazing.

It's 4th of July week, so we all know that if the big boomers haven't started in your area, they soon will. I have to admit that I was blown away by the 7.6 million lost animals included in the infographic. That is staggering. Please do your best to keep your fur kids safe during all the hubbub the holiday brings your way. We don't want anyone's pet to become a statistic!

UPDATE: kittens has been picked up and taken to the vet. Thank you to this wonderful person.

URGENT: Abandoned kitten. If anyone can help, please let us know. The person who found it is afraid her dogs will hurt it. She thought it had a seizure. We gave her several numbers to call for help, with no luck.

June 30, 2018... the worst day of my life thus far. The day that forced me to make the decision no pet parent wants to face, the E word. To this day, June 30th brings it back like I'm reliving it. I woke up at just after midnight this morning crying, dreaming about holding Josie for the final time while she slipped away, and her body growing cold in my arms as I whispered "I love you. I'm sorry. I will miss you so much." over and over again through the tears streaming down my face and soaking her fur. There was absolutely no warmth left in her body as I struggled out the room and to the truck. My dad had taken me, and for that I am thankful because I never would have been able to drive myself home from Glen Carbon.

To my fellow pet parents who have experienced this profound loss. I feel your pain; don't let anyone diminish it. The grief, the guilt are real, but just like me, you did your best for them on that day as you did every other day of their lives. Healing takes time, but I love the thought, "The pet you are with today was sent to you by the pet you loved and lost yesterday." Yesterday being a relative term because it will always feel just like yesterday.
