Pitbull Blues - No Jumping for Joy Please!

Four on the Floor Saves Lives

In memory of Hemi - 7/16/2010 Euthanized

Song - PitBull Blues by John Shipe

I only had the chance to work with Hemi one time - he was a gentle, fun and fast learner. Friendly. Exuberant.

Two days after his first class his 'very friendly' jumped on a six-year-old with splayed paws, scratched her face requiring stitches and cost Hemi his life at Animal Control.

Don't loose your "Good Dog"

Lost Dog?

A sweet girl joined our household for  a moment, we hope. Karl and I found her wandering on the highway and brought her home and spent the rest of the day - posting, visiting police, and letting people know about "good girl". Without tags we don't even have a name to call her.


"I am a sweet loving family member without a voice to tell anyone who I am or where I live. Please make sure you tagged your pets to help people who help your animals find their way home."

NO MICRO CHIP - NO NAME TAGS

Ideas to help find a lost dog.

1. Make sure your pet has identification - PET'S NAME, PHONE, CITY
2. Keep a current PET ID form in your car with a picture of you pet and yourself to prove identity
3. Make a poster of your pet and post in local areas - launder mat, near stop signs
4. Contact local animal shelters, police, veterinarians and drop off your poster
5. Post on social media to friends, neighbors and family
6. Pet Amber Alert - Yes it really does exist.
7. When you find you pet call and thank the people who helped you.
