Sally

Sally is a living reminder for all those dogs (and cats) that go into shelters and never come out. She was picked-up by the county animal control agency and taken to a shelter where she would have been killed (euthanize is too nice a word) within 3 business days "if not claimed". Thankfully, my wife saw the animal control van leaving our road and, after some calls and hours of waiting at the shelter, got her released into our custody.

The sad fact is that Sally lived across the road from us and apparently her owner tired of her and called animal control to remove her. It is truly sad that anyone would abandon an animal or sentence them to death. To do it to a pet that has lived with you is incomprehensible.

As I said, thankfully my wife saw the vehicle or Sally would not be here. Actually she is not here. Our alpha female, Zoey, could not handle having another female in the house and we were blessed that our daughter was able to add Sally to her family. More about Sally and her older sister Sophie in a later blog.

Start at the Beginning

Where do you start? Logically, it would be at the beginning. Failure to do so would be like going to see a movie that was half over.

So, starting at the beginning, this is and will be the blog of a wonderful Veterinarian, Dr. Cindy West who, after practicing twenty some years of traditional medicine found a different and more holistic approach to caring for animals.

This blog will be linked to a website I am currently developing for Dr. West that will allow her to have a vehicle in which to carry on a dialog with others regarding this medical approach.

Me, I am an animal lover who also has served as a volunteer webmaster for projects that I support.

More to come.
