Fromm has withdrawn their line of foods from Chewy.com, since Chewy sold to Petsmart. Good for them! There are several places to get their food online. One is www.gofromm.com.

Susan,

I LOVE Tutsi in the guitar case.

And the funny thing is, I took Skippy onto that golfcourse where both Tutsi & Eddie had fallen into the irrigations trench.

Skip got the zoomies and was running full speed across the greens. I tried to warn him about the trench, which he couldn't see becaue of (zoomies, obviously) and the slope of the land. He tried to jump at the last minute and disappeared from view. Yup. He'd gone straight into the drainage trench that had tricked both Tutsi and Ed.

There must be something about the lie of the land, an optical illusion, or some sort of magic that prevents the dogs from seeing it.

So 100% record on my dogs in drains..................ERIN FOGARTY


Thank you, Susan!

What a great issue, as always.

Loved the tribute to Aubrey. She was a wonderful girl who led a fantastic life with Susan.

It always makes me happy to see Miranda in there too Almost a year - next week, since she passed.................................LISA MARSHALL

MADDIE CHRONICLES, by Joe Stewart, continued.....

The Maddie Chronicles.  A talented young woman, named Chanie Gorkin of Brooklyn, wrote a paradoxical poem that I really liked.  It provided a different perspective depending on which way you read it. From top to bottom it was negative from bottom to top it was positive.  It inspired me to make my Maddie version because my life was turned upside down when Libby ​snatched me from my original home.  If you read the verse from top to bottom you will see my life after WRAP intervention.  If you read it from bottom to top you will know my life without WRAP intervention.  Maddie 

I was destined to be a Whippet with a Wonderful Life.

And you will never, ever see my tail wag to show that

Pleasure is not here to stay

The Shadow

Becomes

Maddie

I know that you will agree that

It’s not correct that kind two legs exist

Only if you are a proper whippet that is good

Forever Homes can be attained

Because

It’s all in my mind and my heart

And it’s not true as some say

Full Bellies and Happy thoughts simply cannot last

Some Two Legs provide food and a smile

Even should

Pain, Danger and Fear occur

When I examine my living space,

A safe and secure life can be enjoyed away from the sty

No evidence is present to convince me that

I was born to live a Deplorable Life


I do love that last line, "In comparison, barking seems kind of one dimensional." They Don’t Bark......WENDY HODGES


Oh 9ness.

She cracks me up. "Sue disappeared herself, the walk started out with me seeing a cat right here that I seed before through the fence, acshually I seed his rear as I approached so I bitered it. It tasted like warm fur. Moot made me let go so I don't know what the middle tastes like but I hope I get to find out.".........................TAMARA ALLEN
