Animal House

Thanks Denise for the post. It gives me an ideal of what the park looks like.

Well, our girl knows how to pick a pretty park to hang in. Very beautiful indeed, and I love the carousel.

Incredible...New York is a much bigger state than I imagined.

OK big picture time, my friends. I am one of the ones who cares a great deal about Vivi's outcome, but has done nothing to help but pray and send positive energy. I have come to love and respect the foot soldiers immensely. I think this blog is really interesting spiritually. God is giving us all many tests through it, it seems to me. Can we really feel such an affinity for a creature we have never had any kind of relationship with? Easily- we all love her like our own beautiful, elusive angel dog. Can we really feel genuine love and compassion for each other through our shared hope? Could that be the actual point?
There is no doubt in my mind that the message we should be getting is our real fire which sparks our longing to save the innocent and rescue the lost is One Fire of which we are all sparks. We are one, I tell you.
I had a dream 2 nights ago. Everyone who has been following Vivi's saga was invited, along with her rescuers, to Vivi's reunion celebration picnic in Santa Barbara some time after her rehabilitation. She was well, fine and fit in spirit, once again her self as Jill & Rick raised her. She trotted around the grounds, stopping to wash our faces and wag her gratitude. The feeling was like she was an angel sent to congratulate us for passing our test, and herself for receiving our best. It was such a lovely, beautiful fantasy- D-O-G- dog; G-O-D-!!!!!
Now let's live up to her dignity and noble suffering and will to survive.
In solidarity and with great respect and love, I salute us all.

Vivi did picked this for her "home" until someone rescue her. Forest Park do looks so beautiful!
Keep Vivi's hope alive!!
TeamV did a great job in this long hard 10 months and I trust they will find Vivi and reunite her to Jil and Rick soon!

AMEN, Deb and Paula, AMEN!!!

Beautiful post of Forest Park! I remember enjoying so many things in that park. For years my dad & I flew model planes at the model airfield halfway through the park, Before moving to Michigan I enjoyed a "Beatlemania Again" concert at the bandshell, when I was 10 years old I played little league baseball across the road from the bandshell where the Pfc Laurence Strack Memorial Pond now rests. I've also been to the circus they hold there every August, and sleighriding in the winter. Yes, it is a very beautiful park! Unfortunately, Forest Park is home to a very large fenced in golf course which Vivi could possibly be hiding. Still praying here and keeping a positive attitude for the ultimate happy ending.

If that is the case, time for the "weenie crew" to take up golfing, Patrick! Might be a bit dangerous for the other golfers though. Just kidding gals, I love you! I could send Tinkerbell to be your cadie too.

Thanks Denise for posting pictures of the park. It certainly looks beautiful. Although I now live in Michigan I remember having my 1960 graduation ceremony from Newtown High School in the bandshell. Now to find that little angel who's hiding somewhere in that big place.

PSALM 72 (excerpts)
May all kings bow before the Lord.
all nations serve him.
For He rescues the poor when they cry out,
the oppressed who have no one to help.
He shows pity to the needy and the poor
and saves the lives of the poor.
Long may He live.
May His name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun, may His name endure.
May the tribes of the earth give blessings with His name;
may all the nations regard Him as favored.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonderful deeds.
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may all the earth be filled with the LORD'S glory.
Amen and amen.

Hello.I was not going to clip and paste messages that are not my own anymore. As I accidentally sent one that I had clipped , it was not nice, and I am truly sorry, as it went public. This one on the other hand appears to be important :

Please see the petition below to save Angel's Gate. This is a wonderful location where sick and special needs animals are taken to live out their lives in peace, dignity and love. Their focus is on wellness and quality of life. It is located in Long Island, NY.

I personally know of someone that took a cat who was sick (an outdoor cat that was rescued) and she was welcomed with open arms to live out her life there.

There is a threat of officials closing Angel's Gate down. Please don't let that happen.

Please sign the petition below:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/627580358?ltl=1151245891

Here is a link to information on Angel's Gate:

Please forward this on to everyone you know and urge them to sign.

Thanks, Karen S

Diana

Diana, I just signed the petition to save Angel's Gate and one thanking Gov. Rendell for cracking down on puppy mills. I hope Angel's Gate stays open. All special needs animals and people should be able to live their lives with love and dignity.

Mt 15:29-37
At that time:
Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,
went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him,
having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,
and many others.
They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the deformed made whole,
the lame walking,
and the blind able to see,
and they glorified the God of Israel.
Isaiah 25:10
On that day it will be said:
“Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
This is the LORD for whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain

Father Creator, Today is the Feast of good generous
St. Nicholas, a man who followed in Jesus' footsteps
and performed miracles in Your name. Advent we know is a time of waiting, but early gifts often came from St. Nicholas on December 6th. Bless our prayers and send us an early miracle. Send us Vivi, and Ticket, and all the lost and homeless ones. Father honor this unselfish prayer, we gain nothing from it except to know that You have heard our prayer and know the love we have for our brothers and sisters in creation. Come to think of it Father that would be a wonderful gift! If it is not time yet (but we sure hope and pray it is) please keep Vivi and the other babies warm and fed and safe from anything that could harm them. We lift all of our prayers in confidence to You...

I failed to mention that today's Psalm is the 23rd- the Good Shepherd. Keep visualizing God taking care of Vivi and bringing her to a volunteer/person who will help. See her oh the shoulders of the volunteers rejoicing in her return. Visualize Ticket on his shoulders,too. What a wonderful day/night!!!
Today's other readings were about the miracles God works! Here's to Hope!

I've sent money to Angels Gate once and I'll send some more tomorrow.. I got a nice thank you from them, I can't even remember when this was, some months back tho. I hope they continue their good work.

gee, shall I repeat myself again? haaaaaaaa
Night people!

Posted by Michael;
I don't usually write on the blog. If it were not for helping Betty I don't think I would have ever even read it.
However in helping her I need to read it to follow updates and such. After reading the blog last night, it really bothered me that people were putting each other down for their education, social standings, or positions. I would like to remind people that the greatest human who ever walked the face of the earth was a mere carpenter with only basic education. He came from the smallest of towns and the least of the tribes of Israel, yet for goodness sake, we even set our clocks by His life. (BC/AD) He did more for humanity than any of us could even imagine or will ever know in this life time. He never looked down on any one, He never put on airs, He never rejected any one who came to Him. He was the friend of prostitutes, theives, adulterers, simple fishermen, as well as the affluent and educated. I don't think I need to mention His name, but I do love the name JESUS. I would like to repeat myself and say that words are seeds and we reap what we sow. If you plant apple seeds, you reap apples, if you plant corn seed, you reap corn, if you plant thistle seed, you will reap thistles. You cannot plant an onion seed and expect to reap roses. If it is important to anyone, I will tell you now before you ask later, I have a high school education and I labored most of my life as a carpenter. I do not consider myself above or below than any one and neither does our Father nor His Son, who by the way is my hero, He loves us all the same. You know you can educate a monkey or even a snake, but wisdom and undrestanding are gifts from God...just a thought to ponder.
Everyone have a lovely evening, God bless and keep you all.

Story of a life-saving greyhound:

http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/myrtlebeachonline/16182941.htm

No more tears.

Oh my goodness, such a beautiful story about Grace. What a remarkable girl she was. Thanks for sharing this.

There are no tears in heaven.

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.--Pauline R. Kezer

We judge a man's wisdom by his ability to hope.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

SC - I knew you were a woman after my own heart. Emerson and Thoreau were my favorite in literature and life. Such beautiful words that touch the soul and heart.

I even did an English literature term paper on the comparison of these two wonderful men in high school.

Thanks for the beautiful quote of HOPE. We all have this, and must continue to have it. Vivi, your miracle is right around the corner!

I remember Jesus's last words on the cross, it is finished.

Heaven is such a wonderful place where the lion and the lamb sleep together.

Oh my yes, heaven is such a wonderful place, the place of blessed peace and forgiveness, no more sorrows, no more pain, a place of love and joy. Such a beautiful place that gives hope in the darkest hour.

I forget to add that my hope comes from God, even in our darkest hour and we are saved by his promises. He promises us peace and even though in this world we have hardship, in heaven (and sometimes here on earth too), we will have his peace.

Psalm 39:7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My HOPE is in you."

Thank you Julie for sharing. I'd like to also share these verses of hope. I am sharing the verses from the old testament as I do not wish to offend anyone that may quesiton the new testament.

Psalm 25:5
"Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God

my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

Psalm 62:5
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him."

Psalm 119:114
"You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word."

Psalm 119:147
"I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word."

Isaiah 40:31
"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and

not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Psalm 29:11
"The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace."

Isaiah 26:3
"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,

because he trusts in you."

Ok you cheerie little women, lets not get depressed! Light a candle for Vivi::::::::Ignore those who bother you::::::::

" Oh the tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive"

And:::::::my cat is in the hospital. I took him to ER after 9:30 last night..He might have a blockage! He has a cath in him and at 7:30 this a.m., and $690 dollars later, I took him to his regular vet..He's still there having more tests done..another bill of at least $248....Hows that for putting the bah humbug in Christmas? haaaaaaaaaa...He'd doing ok tho...I'm going to bed for the rest of the day..I do not do well at 7:30 in the morning..........especially at a ER.........

P.S. Speaking of Greyhounds, there used to be a Greyhound rescue in No. California called::::::
AMAZING GREYS...Get it, Amazing Grace? wink, wink...

I have never found Bibile verses giving hope depressing, and I'm sure we hope for the best with Vivi and lean on God for his strength too.

Oh thanks Sheila I appreciate your kind comment. It is my hope in God that keeps me believing the best for Vivi and for this world too. God's words are always a blessing, always.

I enjoyed the verses on hope Sara. And from reading the comments on the blog, ignore anything said you don't like. Talking about peace and heaven and hope that God gives us is okay in my book.

This is too much. All this proselytizing has gotten out of hand. I thought this blog is about Vivi and animals in need, not Bible verses. I'm sure there are a lot of chat rooms where you can trade Bible verses and discuss the wonders of the lord. I came here to get a status update on the Vivi search, not to scroll through a sermon. Between all the crazy talk earlier this week and this, this blog has become a joke.

Geez Jesse. We aren't told much on the blog about Vivi these days. All we have are prayers and hope, and sometimes people chat about their pets and Bobo.

Jesse, best to ignore the religious element if you don't like it or go to another thread and post your thoughts.

Jesse D and Julies--
We all have so much hope in Vivi and we all have a very strong faith in God and His Son, Jesus.
We all pray from the beginning.
So if you both don't appreciate us then don't bother coming on the blog...we forgive you both.
God Bless you both and loves you both!
You can't stop us from using the wonderful, powerful Bible verses, it do help us through the rough months and helps us the courageous to keep going!

Amen Paula.

be nice!!! tomorrow is yet another holy day. no, i am not super religious queen, but miracles happened on those days, why not now?? and it is warm and beautiful in NYC today!!! i think those posts are better and nicer than as of late. only my opinion - i don't this place. the gang is out full force again today i believe and also tonight. the weekend is packed with Vivi chasing (pardon the pun) since the weather is cooperating. we are also working on plans here during the days as well. the Vivi crew is still going.

Thanks for the update. Glad to know the weather is ok yet.

Thanks for the update Darlene. I'm glad to hear that the crew is still going strong. Your comments are one of the reasons I still check out this blog.

Miracles do happens!
A few years ago in PA, there was a golden dog name is Frisco who was a show dog, during a thunderstorms comes. Frisco was startled and bolted into the forest was lost for 2 weeks. Then 2 weeks later, Frisco was captured in a trapper bait because he was hungry and decided to go in and ate it! He lost a few pounds and his paws were hurt from walking around. He was 2 or 3 years old when it happened. He is fine now and is probably around 8 or 9 years old. He now retired from the show dog career. I don't know if anyone familiar with this story??

Jessa, If you think you are breathing on your own, you are sadly mistaken. God is the one who gave you life. And He is the one who gave Vivi life. Without Him, NONE of us would be here. So count your blessings

never heard the story - what a nice ending!!!!
will try to keep you guys informed about what's happening.
Betty still has Bobo, by the way!

Betty Layne--AMEN!!
Darlene--Maybe only on PA. news local but who knows?? Yes, it was a nice, happy ending for Frisco and his family!

Betty, I have had the good fortune to be extremely lucky in my life so far; You can say its because of "god" if you want. I call it luck. I guarantee 110% this is one subject that we will never see eye to eye on, so let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that. I don't want to have to get into a theological discussion. I respect your commitment to religious pursuits, but I'd just rather talk about dogs than gods.

Ruby sorry to hear about your cat. Hope he will
be okay. Is is a male cat, sometimes that get what
is call Feline Urinary Sydrome. Both my male cats
got it. Boy I learned about the expensive vet visit
to only feed them special food for cats prone to
F.U.S. Prayers for the kitty !!
Whats with all this prayer chat today WOW. Nice
verses though. Nice change of pace on the blog

OK, Jessa--
We will pray for you!!

where in PA?????

Yes, I still have Bobo. But he has a bad habit of raiding the refrigerator every night. This morning I got up to have some orange juice and toast. And what the crap, it was all gone!! I asked him if he ate it and he said, "Yes, I'm sorry, but I was hungry" So I couldn't get mad at him. He told me he hasn't food until he got to my house. Why didn't you guys feed him? Are you feeding Jose anything besides beer? That may be why he drinks so much. HE IS STARVING!!!!

SueG--
I agree with you!! :-)

My male kitty had FUS too so now he has a special diet. The vet told me something interesting--If you feed your cats dry food you shouldn't give them ones that contain any kind of fish--some cats are sensitive to the fish oils and can get urinary infections. I've never heard that before or since. Has anyone else heard that?

Ok Jessa. He will show Himself to you. He doesn't need me to do that. He's a big boy and He knows how to turn luck into I AM. God bless and have a great day today.

Darlene--
It is near Williamsport area (Strongstown)PA.
Strongstown was where the show dog was held in.
I was glad I still have the old clipping of Frisco. My mistake it wasn't 2 weeks , it was 3 weeks...sorry!! OK what it say here was the dog was lost in the Cambria area in the Indiana County...about 4 miles away from Duman State Park (that where Frisco was lost in). My paper said the date was on May 20th, 2001.(Lost) and was Found on June 15th, 2001. I hope it help you?? :-)

I'd like to just say that the prayers have been here since the very beginning and I'd like to read them as I do everyday... thanks Betty and Sharon.

What the .....

Don't worry Chrissy, Betty and Sharon (and Michael now too) are not going anywhere. They are here to stay with us crazies!

If they try, we will send MaryL to "smack them in the head" like she threatens to do with Martha and I. Right MaryL (haaaaa)? Be careful MaryL, Santa Claus might not bring you Dodge for Christmas!

I feel comfort knowing prayers will stay and too that it is okay to share bible verses. I love the psalms. Usually, I learn new verses each morning and memorize an extra one for Vivi. I understand when the details of the search can't be put on the blog. It's to keep Vivi safe and it doesn't bother me much even though I'd like to know more, it is okay because then I have to trust God even more.
