Doreen's Doggie Delights goes to Frankenmuth?

Maybe...I got a call from someone yesterday offering me a booth for Memorial Day weekend. The cost is 400 bucks though of which I do not have. However, I would get my "business" out to 40,000 people! So, it's a great opportunity for me. Must pray and pray for financing. God is really good! :)

Lucy's Leg

Two weeks ago, I was in the backyard playing with Lucy. The snow was melting and it was wet and heavy. Lucy loves the snow and needed to run off some energy and she wanted some one on one time with Mom. I grabbed the flirt pole and we began a slow game. I always play slow with her because of her size and age. (She'll be 7 next month!) Anyway, as she ran to grab it, she jumped into a deep section of the snow and stopped dead in her tracks. With the look of panic on her face, and the sound of a POP, I knew I broke my dog. Terrified, I ran to help her. I quickly flexed her knee and felt it POP back into place. Hoping for the strength of angels, I picked up my eighty pound girl and headed for the door. She struggled for me to put her down. I didn't get two steps. I had about forty to go. I tried for the angel strength again and picked her up again, knowing I had to get her in the house. Again, she was having none of the carrying. I put her down. She was too heavy for me. I didn't know how I was going to get her in the house. Gary was inside, obviously with the doors closed. Finally, I pulled my scarf from around my neck and put it under Lucy's belly and used it as a sling to get her at least to the gate.I opened and propped the door and yelled for Gary to kennel Wrigley. I was exhausted by this time. I told him I broke Lucy and needed his help. Wrigley came flying out the door to see what was going on. Gary helped me get Lucy in the house and on the couch. She did not have a broken leg. We decided to let time heal her. I couldn't take it any longer and took her to the vet. Sure enough...blown acl. Surgery is not an option.Dr. put her on Rimadyl. 75mg twice a day. 40 bucks for 2 weeks. Anyone know of generic and/or where to get it cheaper? Also...she's on bedrest till further notice.

Can you help Dolly and Luna

As you already know, I'm very active in a rescue group on MySpace. Currently, I'm working with an awesome lady named Lillian. She has recently rescued two dogs, one named Dolly and one named Luna. Here are their stories:

Luna is Star's sister. In one of the pictures you can see them both laying on the bed together. Luna got adopted out along with her other sister Lilly to a couple who did not take care of them. Lilly is still in their custody. Luna's life had to be bought back in order to save it. The man (and I use the term loosely) is a drug addict and now has 21 other dogs in his care or lack of and is getting ready to abandon them. My friend Lillian is trying to prepare people to get ready for them. They will need a lot of care, as you can see by Luna's condition. Apparently, she is the worst of the bunch.

She weighs about 25 pounds compared to her sister who weighs about 65. She is hungry for attention but afraid of being touched at the same time. She won't eat unless the others eat first and she has chronic diarrhea, so much so that it's hard to get her house trained. She is in major need of medical help but there are no funds for her or for the others that will be coming.

Lillian is doing a great job working with rescue organizations and different places trying to get funding for medical care and food for these two but money is tight and hard to come by. Won't you please help us help these babies? They deserve a chance at love. They didn't ask to be starved, neglected or abused and Lillian is available to nurture and care for them. All she needs is some funding to get them healthy. We are now...begging for your help. Please click on the donate button below and help us.



Luna...doesn't feel very good.

Luna on left and Star on right...same age should be same size

Luna...skin and bones.

Dolly with her foot as a flipper.

Dolly is the most critical case. She needs surgery. You can see how horribly her leg is broken by looking at the picture but what you can’t see is that her hip was also broken at the same time. At age 12 weeks she was struck by a car. Nobody cared enough to help her recover or get her fixed. The owners let her suffer with a broken hip and leg until they didn't want her anymore and gave her away. She is now about 9 months old. The new temporary owners kept her outside in a pen that they never cleaned, so she lived in filth. When the rescue person came to get her she walked in inches of dung just to get to her. The make shift shelter had fallen on top of Dolly and clipped her scalp as you can see in the picture. Again, no medical care was given. She was covered in fleas and her water bowl was frozen solid. The way she is forced to walk, is affecting her shoulder her hip. Her hip needs repair and her leg may need to be amputated. Along with regular dog maintenance, spay, shots, food and love, this girl just needs lots of TLC. The owners of Dolly came to the temporary home looking for Dolly to put her down. When they found out she was gone, they returned with the sheriff and a court order. Dolly is a happy girl who has been abused and neglected from a very young age. Please help us help her. Donations big and small are accepted. Thank you and God Bless! If you want to make a larger donation (and please do...you can email or message me)

Here's how you can help...we put an eBay donation link up for Dolly but the donations will go to both dogs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=330209222512

Catch up

Well...I haven't written in a long time, partly because I don't know who even reads what I write. Nobody ever comments but I guess some folks do read it so I'll write an update and let ya know what's going on.

Yesterday was an awesome surprise from my Bible study group of women. One of the ladies caused a "distraction" and called me out of the room. When they called me back in they handed me an envelope full of money. They took up a collection for my cookies. They said to get at least 2 of my cookies lab tested and into the pet stores. Now, that can happen. Two down, four to go. I will send these off after the snow storm is over and get that started. Then I have to get my license from the state of Michigan. :)

I am also doing research to see what it takes to get them into pet stores in other states. If you have any leads or suggestions, please contact me. Remember, my cookies are wheat, corn, salt, sugar and preservative free. Check out my website at: www.doreensdoggiedelights.com
