Hey! It's Alex Thalmann with Milo Thalmann (Jonas). He and I are doing great. We just recently got a dog park built close by so now we go down and he gets to run wild and play with so many different dogs and I dont think I have ever seen him so happy. I love it! I am deff going to send a bunch of pictures as soon as I upload them. Ill upload them onto this for the next message I'm sure you guys are excited to see how big he has got as he is still so young and cute.

Look What's Happening in Stanly County To Benefit SCARL!

Falling Rivers Art Gallery

LET’S UNDECORATE THE CHRISTMAS TREE FOR SCARL !!!

The Stanly Arts Guild and Falling Rivers Gallery
will again sponsor the Stanly County Animal Rescue
League (SCARL) as a project for the 2009 Christmas
Season. A special tree in the Gallery will be decorated
with ornaments and goodies that will be given
to anyone bringing in a donation of puppy/dog food,
kitten/cat food, litter, or suitable items that can be
used by the foster caretakers of SCARL. The goal is
to “undecorate” the tree before December 23.
SCARL is a non-profit organization whose members
foster abandoned puppies and kittens, making them
available for adoption to good homes. Please bring in
your donation to the Falling Rivers Gallery, 119 West
Main Street, between now and December 23.
Let’s undecorate the tree and feed the animals!

HiLites in Albemarle

THREE BOXES!!!

HiLites in Albemarle has three boxes in their store, one for SCARL, one for Helping Hands, and one for Christian Ministries.

Make a donation between now and December 14th  in any of the 3 boxes and receive an entry for some great prizes!

 
 

Hi
Jeff here from Michigan.   Just wanted to let you know how Ginger  (Xtra) is doing now as it will be one year in December 6th that we picked her up from your house.  She is doing great!  Wow, it does not seem that long.  Ginger has not only a special home here, but she has worked her way into our hearts as well.  She is truly a special find.  Here is a photo of her.  The home office I have has two stations.  So Ginger jumps into the chair next to me as if she where my co-pilot.  Then falls asleep. 
Thanks again.
Jeff

 

 

Stanfield Craft Fair

We had a good time @ Stanfield seeing lots of regular customers that we see every year. This was our 5th year attending but Stanfield celebrated their 28th year of hosting this event. We made $329.45 @ the event completely selling out of dog biscuits. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

 

 

Did you know?

There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33 different breeds.

 

Volunteers are needed for Wagfest!

We need volunteers to find sponsors for the event, to attend a booth during the event, or a multitude of other ways.

Won't you give of your time & help out the animal rescue groups in Stanly County? 

Wagfest will be held on May 1st, 2010.  It takes a lot of planning and lots of people to make it better every year.

Next Wagfest planning meeting will be held on December 2nd at the City Hall Annex on 1st street in Albemarle at 5:30 pm.

Please try to attend....see you there!!

(If you are not able to attend but would like to help, please contact Debra Sprayberry at debrasprayberry@yahoo.com)

Cat Poem

 

They will not go quietly,
the cats who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.

Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.

Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.

And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them. . . and always will.

- Linda Barnes
