Thanks Genny Girl's Sister!!! Every person looking helps so much.
 
Wow! I'm loving all the dog photos. Herm, your one dog looks like fox colors. Really nice.
 
PEST! You made it ok. I know you're hurting, everyone says it's a hard surgery. I didn't want to tell you that before.
 
Be careful for infection too. My dad's got infected... and oh my what a mess.
I won't tell you about that now either. LOL
 
I went to look for Scooter yesterday but no luck. I saw tracks. It doesn't help that I'm on the other side of the county either, and all of this snow.

HEY!!! There is a posting for Scooter on the CCHS Pictures of Lost Pets website. http://www.cchspets.org/lost.html
Today is January 6th.

No picture though... sometimes paper (like the poster Sunflower printed and brought there) doesn't scan well, but they could take the picture off of this web page...http://spottydawg.com/scooter.html

I'm not at all possessive like that.  If you're looking... CCHS webmaster... go ahead and take it. It's to help find Pest's lost-loved family member.. (right click it and click "save picture as" and then put it into a file.)

Hey Pest,,,,,I was talking to a couple of pretty ladies that were sitting under some palm trees havin a tall glass of whoopie and I was telling them about you and Scooter and they told me that if it wasn't so cold up there they'd come up to the lake and take ya over to the Dry Dock  for a couple of pops. Maybe when yer knee gets better and it warms up some that might happen! 

[Zipper]

OMG Lock... palm trees... sunshine... ahhhh.

For Immediate Release
Pennsylvania dogs freeze in below-zero wind chills
as they await a Pennsylvania law against tetheringGroup Seeks to Limit Chaining of Dogs in Pennsylvania

Dogs Deserve Better Urges All Organizations, Individuals, and Business Owners
to Join Coalition to Pass HB1254 in Pennsylvania

January 7, 2010, Altoona, PA — "Little Dog," a 25-lb. black and white foo foo dog of indiscriminate breed, stands in the snow outside his doghouse. The temperature overnight is 7 degrees, with a wind chill of -11, yet his caretakers fail to bring him inside.
He's not alone in his suffering. "Black Dog," an underweight lab mix, shivers involuntarily while he eats food brought by Dogs Deserve Better volunteers. He has ice on his head and buttocks from attempting to stay warm in a doghouse with no floor and holes in the sides. How he's survived the night is unknown.
This scenario repeats itself in towns all across Pennsylvania, as dogs await passage of HB1254, a bill which would limit the chaining of dogs. As winter storms ravage the state, bringing below-zero wind chills and arctic temperatures, dogs hold on as best they can. Those that freeze to death are rarely reported, quickly disposed of by owners looking to avoid legal consequences.
Tethering of dogs on a continual basis is cruel for many reasons, not the least of which is the danger of death in sub-zero temperatures. Because dogs are pack animals, they can become neurotic or aggressive due to lack of socialization with humans, and last year three Pennsylvania children were reported seriously injured or killed by chained or penned dogs.
The real tragedy is that the cruelty and danger caused by tethering dogs is completely avoidable through legislation. HB1254 would limit chaining in Pennsylvania, resulting is safer towns for our children and more compassionate living for Man's Best Friend.
Dogs Deserve Better, a national nonprofit working to end the suffering of dogs kept perpetually chained or caged, is joining with organizations and individuals state-wide to form a coalition to Unchain Pennsylvania's Dogs and get HB1254 passed to end this abuse.
“Dogs Deserve Better has received hundreds of calls this winter of dogs freezing and even dying outdoors as bitter cold sweeps the nation. I have personally advocated for 'Little Dog' for the past seven years, and have gotten nowhere. This small dog—who should be sitting on a lap somewhere or enjoying family trips in the car—instead grows older and sadder with each passing year. Before this, I watched as the old shepherd who was chained next to Little Dog grew frailer and frailer, eventually dying at the end of his/her chain, never having known human companionship or kindness,” says Tamira Ci Thayne, founder and CEO of Dogs Deserve Better. "Sadly, only better laws will ensure humane treatment of dogs and end continual tethering. We are asking all Pennsylvania citizens to join our coalition at UnchainPADogs.com. Together, we have the power to pass House Bill 1254 and end the cruel practice of constant tethering."
So far four states have passed limitations on chaining: California, Texas, Connecticut, and Nevada. Hundreds of cities and counties have passed limitations or flat-out bans.
Please visit the websites at UnchainPADogs.com or DogsDeserveBetter.org to learn more about dog chaining, the reasons it is cruel to dogs and dangerous to humans, and to sign up for the coalition to pass HB1254.
Photos and video of Pennsylvania chained dogs in the cold is available by contacting tddb@dogsdeservebetter.org

That would be my luck. It would snow in the Bahamas if I went there to escape winter.

There are consequences  to having your kids or puppies help with the cupcakes.

PEST,  Healing prayers for you, my friend.  Also still praying that you and Scooter will be reunited SOON.  Take some Knox gelatine, the powder right from the packet, in smoothies, etc. It can help with the healing of your knee.  About the single nurse, of course look for a "head" nurse since they have more experience in taking care of a man's needs!     Sorry, couldn't resist that comment!

[precisionpest]

thanks lock for the info. doc definitely will try that.   my spell check has been going crazy, been thinking one thing & type another!!! another couple days on these meds then hope i wont need them!
