Hi Friends,

This is the very last photo taken of sweet Graffiti yesterday. He was crying somewhat indicating that he might have been in some pain so I didn't want to disturb him too much. A few minutes later, I picked him up and cradled him until Dr. Thornton and Sarah came back into the room to put him to sleep.

I am still devastated and I can hardly talk about him without crying. What a blessing this precious boy was.

Thank you to everyone who has donated towards his bill. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. It does my broken heart some good knowing that everyone loved him too.

We still owe about $100.00 on his bill. If you would like to help with the cost, it would be greatly appreciated. There are several ways to help below.

[11 AM] A low risk for some strong to severe storms exists this evening with best chances west of I-65. Damaging winds will be the main threat with the strongest storms with a very low chance of a tornado. Make sure to remain weather aware and have multiple ways to get warnings.

Hi Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of sweet Graffiti this afternoon. I took him to the vet for his follow up. Unfortunately, there had been little to no change in him. His blood work came back worse than last week. He had lost some weight. After discussing our options, I made the decision to let him go. He had fought the good fight. He died peacefully with me right there with him.

Someone once had some very choice words for me when we lost another one of our babies and we had them cremated. I would like to have Graffiti cremated and his ashes brought home. He was alone for a good part of his life and I don't want him alone in death.

We will definitely need some help paying his bill. If you are able to help in any way, we would appreciate it.

Ways to help:

1. No negative comments. This is the first time I have ever had to make the decision to euthanize a baby as a rescue or just as a person. I am devastated and might forget my manners.

A special thank you for the kindness shown to me this afternoon. Dr. Thornton, Sara, Ashley and Sydney were fantastic with my broken heart. I am forever grateful for their kindness.

Hi Friends,

It is never ending here at the rescue. Sweet Copper is on crate rest as he has managed to hurt is front paw. We are not quite sure how he managed to hurt it .... He isn't saying much about what happened 🤣 This sweet boy will be visiting Dr. Arndt on Thursday morning.

Dr. Youngblood was in surgery this morning but he had one of the techs give me a call back. Given that Graffiti is experiencing this twitching, he wants to see him sooner than Thursday. Dr. Youngblood is off tomorrow so Graffiti will meet Dr. Thornton tomorrow afternoon. Please keep your fingers crossed that we get some answers.

Hi Friends,

Graffiti here with an update on how I am doing.

First, thank you to everyone who donated to help with my vet bill. I am forever grateful to all of you. My bill was paid in full today and we will have another bill on Thursday.

I am on the mend, feeling better than what I have been. I have adjusted to the medication finally and I have started eating. I have gained a little weight and the bulge that was around my belly has gone down some. I am still pretty exhausted and other than eating, I don't want to move too much.

My foster Mommy noticed something this evening and she reported the issue to my rescue Mommy. I have this twitch going on. No one is sure why I am twitching, if it's a side effect from the medication or what. My rescue Mommy put in a call to the vet. Dr. Youngblood had left for the day but I know he will call tomorrow to see about me.

As of right now, I am still on the schedule to see Dr. Youngblood on Thursday morning. Unless he tells my rescue Mommy to bring me in sooner.

I will keep everyone updated on my condition in a few days.

Look at this sweet face! Oh I'm so in love with it! He now has a name. We have named him Copper.

Get with it, Alabama

In a groundbreaking move for animal rights, Pennsylvania has passed a bill recognizing pets as family members rather than property. This legislative change is a significant victory for animal lovers and advocates across the country. It acknowledges that pets, like dogs, cats, and other animals, have unique bonds with their human families, and they deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and love.

The change in how pets are viewed under the law could have far-reaching consequences. It paves the way for better legal protections for animals, ensuring that they aren’t just seen as objects to be bought and sold, but as cherished family members. This shift in perspective helps to establish a more humane society, where animals’ needs are more carefully considered, and their well-being is prioritized.

As the world becomes more conscious of animal rights, this bill from Pennsylvania could inspire other states to follow suit. This move is a clear indication that societal attitudes are changing, and that pets are being recognized for the joy, companionship, and emotional support they bring to people’s lives. 🐾💖

Just a reminder

Hi Friends,

We put out the call that we were in need of some products from Walmart. Our wonderful friends did not disappoint. A special thank you to Tara, Amanda, Lee and Rhianna for taking such great care of us today! They really help make our lives easier.

We teamed with JT Aubrey back in July for their first ever Spirit Day! Unfortunately, like so many small businesses, they are struggling and even though they just opened in March 2025, it looks like they will now have to close. They have some amazing gifts that are reasonably priced. And now you get them at 40% off. We purchased a warmie in July and the babies absolutely love it. Not only does it keep them warm, it also provides them with comfort. Be sure to stop by and check them out. And maybe pick up a warmie for one of our babies at 40% off 😉
