Rumbles

I’m glad I still have many (former clients) friends that keep in touch after the big move to WA in 2021. It saddens me that the many times we have connected since I’ve been gone is to hear that a previous petsitting pet has passed away. Today is that day again. I’ve cared for charming Rumbles since at least 2015 or 2016. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Condolences to his family. Rest in Peace Rumbles.

My friends mean the world to me. Always have. I’ve been lucky to call some of my professional colleagues “friends” too. When I ran my business in OR, I hired many talented, trustworthy animal welfare/ veterinary folks to work as IC’s for me.

I just found out that one of the kindest, sweetest, most beautiful souls has passed away from serious complications associated with Cystic Fibrosis. She will be missed by all who knew her. You were a champion Amanda. Rest in Peace.

Another little break in my heart. Losing client pets is hard. Goethe was a girl that preferred the periphery. She’d play when in the mood and really hated to be brushed. But she’d come running for food. This lil lady will be missed. Rest in Peace Goethe.

Eddie (aka Eddie Vedder, Fat Eddie, “FE”…since when he came to rescue, he was close to 21 pounds). This boy was part of a rescue bonded duo (about 40 pounds of loving cats) that came into Animal Aid from MCAS. Luckily they were adopted by someone who became a good friend of mine and then a client.

This cat (and brother and his stupendous mom) spread so much joy in his lifetime. Literally there are at least many thousands of stickers with his image and a brief inspirational phrase all over the world. My heart is broken that he is gone. I’m sure he’s back with his brother Lou. (Ludwig Van Beethoven) Eddie & Lou, together in Heaven. Rest in Peace.

Next time a Girl Scout or Boy Scout offers to do a project to support your organization, show them how Girl Scout Troop 1255 from Brentwood, Tennessee, installed two public microchip scanner stations in their community!

Troop 1255 used their Girl Scout Cookie money to put together and install one scanner station at the John P. Holt Brentwood Library and another outside of the Williamson County Animal Center. Inside the box, they placed instructions for how to use the scanner and the information, and a sign-in sheet so they could track community use of the scanner station. They even made a website for their program: https://www.whosepaws.com.whosepaws.org/home

Be aware. Pets can get into major situations.

A family in Colorado Springs narrowly averted disaster after their dog accidentally turned on the stove and started a house fire in the early morning hours of of Wednesday, June 26.
