Taco would like you all to know that he is ready for longer days, with more sun. Like many of us, he has been ready for bed by 6:30 most evenings. These early evenings are for the birds.

Because of your generosity in donating $250, Dr. Moore has matched the contributions and a $500 gift has been sent to
Pet Supreme/Foothill Vet Clinic, located in the San Fernando Valley.

The small business is helping animals affected by the fires with free emergency kits and exams.

A few hours ago we learned more fires are breaking out in San Diego; near where Dr. Moore did much of his training in veterinary dentistry.

Obviously, the need isn't over. We will leave the donation jar on the desk and continue to forward and augment your contributions.

Thank you so much for all you do to help animals. -- the HHFA staff

"Look for the helpers" -- Fred Rogers

Friends: We are accepting contributions through Saturday for our first donation to aid animals in L.A.

While there are MANY organizations which will accept monetary contributions, HHFA made a decision for this first contribution to help a friend of a friend.

March Parnprome of Pet Supreme/Foothill Vet Clinic, located in the San Fernando Valley, is a client of Spring Lake residents Susan and Bob Negan, owners of WhizBang Training.

Since the fires began there has been no business as usual for either the pet store or the veterinary hospital.

Rather, they have been distributing emergency kits and are providing free examinations for pets for fire victims and first responders.

This weekend groomers associated with the businesses are traveling to Pasadena to wash pets and give out more emergency kits.

The following is from an email from Mr. Parnprome thanking YOU for all your assistance.

"The support that people have given is a testament to human kindness and compassion. Whether the donation goes to us or however you spread the funds collected SoCal appreciates the love and support!"

Thank you for all you are doing to help. -- the HHFA staff

Edit: We neglected to say we will also augment your donations.

Sometimes, when it feels that you are helpless and there is nothing you can do, it's helpful to remember . . . there is almost always something you can do.

Dr. Moore's family has donated to Pasadena Humane Society and there are also many other worthy organizations.

If you would like to help as well, we will gather donations until Friday, January 17, research where the donations might most be needed and keep you apprised.

If it helps you gain a moment of comfort for the lives of animals which have sadly been lost consider this: the Rev Dan Anderson of Spring Lake once asked Dr. Moore if he thought there were animals in heaven. Dr. Moore replied:

"Dan. It wouldn't be heaven without animals."

As promised, we have been working diligently on training our newest team member, Tommy Pickles.

Excellent news for everyone on Santa's nice list!
