Sorry for the hiatus ... sometimes you've just got to take a break, you know?
I got some hate mail for my recent diatribe about puggles. While I know there are some mahvelous pug-beagle mixes out there, I still hold tight to my conviction that that match is not one made in heaven, not to mention obedience class.
Speaking of one half of that hybrid, the third annual All-Pug Halloween Costume Contest Party kicks off Sunday, October 28, at Animal Haven Soho ( 251 Centre Street, NYC). More than 100 costumed smush-facers are anticipated.
The $5 costume-contest entry fee is being donated to Animal Haven, a no-kill shelter.
Among the prize catagories: Most Creative, Most Over-The-Top, Best Pug-Human Costume Coordination and the coveted Best in Show.
For more information and to RSVP, go to http://pug.meetup.com/40/ or contact the group organizer, Lin Randolph, at nycpugmeetup@earthlink.net.

PRAYER REQUEST FOR VALERIE BARNARD'S WHIPPET:
Dante had his stitches taken out today and the vet was very pleased with the reports on his latest surgery!
Now::::::::::Valerie asked me to ask you guys to pray for the next step in Dante's medical saga.......Poor guy has to have his ONLY
kidney checked. There is a chance its having problems...Long story, but he might be going to U.C.Davis for some sort of a scan to see if he's plugged or what. Surgery to put a shunt in would be very dangerous so pray that he can be treated with medication.
Light candles and say prayers for this sweet boy. He's gone through such a lot and we have to pray that there won't be any more problems!

DANTE NEWS AGAIN, THURSDAY 3:30 P.M. CALIFORNIA TIME
Valerie called me today, Thursday at 3:30 my time, on her way to work. I wasn't home but she left a message...
Dante is not a candidate for the scope they talked about yesterday. I guess he's not large or doesn't weigh enough. Now the vet is talking MRI again. They keep saying if Dante has to have a shunt, its a very serious operation and there is a chance he won't make it through the surgery...Val's words were, "and I'm not ready to lose my boy" and then she started crying..so did I.
They are going to setup an MRI for the boy in Redwood City, California, just across the bay from where Val lives...After the scan, she'll know just how serious his kidney problem is.
PLEASE people, continue to pray for the little guy and light candles....He needs our help.....Pray that whatever is wrong can
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR THIS SPECIAL BOY!
