CALLING FOR ENTRIES - Submit your entry by 02/09/08 - Gift and sponsor TBA.

MY YAPPY VALENTINE!

"Until one has loved an animal,
a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
~ Anatole France ~

The greatest love is a mother's; then a dog's; then a sweetheart's. ~Polish Proverb ~

In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. ~Edward Hoagland~

		My Name:Jolene BFF: Megan M. My dog Jolene is the luckiest dog alive! I found her at my local shelter after she was dumped by her guardian at age 14! Jolene had two ear infections that had gone untreated and the shelter staff thought she was on death's door and riddled with tumors. They were just trying to make her comfortable until the end. After I adopted her and took her to the vet, we found only one abscess. no tumors! Jolene had surgery to remove the abscess and her ears are sooo much better now. After many vet visits we learned that the ear infections were related to food allergies. Jolene is totally deaf as a result of the long-term damage to her ears, but she is still with us two years later at age 16! She is the luckiest dog alive! 1840 VOTES

		My Name: Belle BFF: Paul Zito Belle was a Katrina refuge brought to Pennsylvania after the disaster. She had been in a shelter that needed to be emptied to make space for pets that were waiting for their owners return. She had been returned to that shelter 3 times and was pretty much considered a lost cause. I had been asked to foster her because she had many issues and no other foster was willing to deal with her problems. From the start I knew there was something special about her and she stole our hearts. We knew that going to another home with the possibility of being returned yet again would be devastating to her. Our family decided to adopt her so that she would never have to worry about that again. We knew we made the right decision. She is the most loving dog that we have ever had, and there have been a lot of them here. 3686 VOTES
