9/13/13 – Please contact your State Representatives and let them know that you support this bill and expect them to do the same. ~ diana
9/12/13 – 9/12/13 First let me apologize — some people have been asking for an update on Keller and I wondered why. As soon as I talked to his mom on Tuesday, I posted the update. But, as I look through our timeline I can’t find it; the only update is Pat’s. So let me let everyone know what is going on. Keller is doing great. His eye surgery went well and he is to have the stitches taken out of his eyelids on September 24. At that time he will also get his vaccinations. Keller wasn’t able to get neutered in that only one testicle could be found so there is a chance that there is a testicle that hasn’t descended. The doctors suggest that Keller have surgery for this condition in about 6 months. In that there is no danger of Keller using his manhood to “get in trouble”, we all feel it’s best to wait. 4 Paws 1 Heart will keep the donated money aside to make sure all expenses up to the neutering and potential surgery for the testicle is covered. Pat will be signing papers to make our little Keller a permanent member of her household. I’ve asked Pat for an update. Thanks again to all of our friends for your prayers and support. ~ diana

9/10/13 – We always love to hear updates about the animals who have been helped by 4 Paws 1 Heart. James has continued to be a friend and after hearing too often about abandonment and abuse, it warms the heart to know there are so many good people in this world who truly love their pets. Here’s James’ timeline posting. ~ diana

9/9/13 MEET SAMMY — Just a little guy brought into the Emergency with radial damage to his leg and burned paw prints. He will eventually need to have his leg removed. Our good friends with Pet Adoption Alternative of Warren (PAAWP has taken in Sammy to find his forever home.
As I’ve said so many times before, the need never ends and we are just so thankful for our many supporters who donate dollars so that we can take care of the abandoned and abused like little Sammy, Keller, Hercules, and so many more.9/9/13 – PRAYERS AND POSITIVE ENERGY NEEDED: Early tomorrow morning our little Keller will be having surgery to remove his eyes. He will be taken to the vet today so that he will be ready first thing in the a.m. Our good friend, Dee (mother of Snickers), feels very strongly that Keller will be fine and that her dad, whose birthday is September 10 and is now in heaven, will be watching over Keller during his surgery. Here was Dee’s posting two weeks after her dad passed away last year. ~ diana
“Last night I decided to ask Dad to send me a sign that he is at peace, is happy and to see if he is smiling again.
I go to bed, wake up, go feed the 4 black feral kitties that hang in our lot next door. These cats true feral cats, they run when you get near them (but I’m working on them). So anyway, I get my coffee, going to lounge in bed for a few and Rick comes in with his coffee and says – there is a black kitty sitting under the patio table. I jump up and I say “HANK” – that was Hank spot when she wanted fed. Hank was the first feral kitty we started feeding –that was last winter -she came near us but never touched us. We haven’t seen Hank for 2-3 months, right after she moved her kitties from a short stay in our woodpile.
I run out to feed Hank, to see if it was Hank – AND IT WAS! She did her little dance around rubbing on the patio chairs & table. I love Hank. (remember, Hank is a black color kitty)
So I go back into the house all elated. Hank is safe. Then I started to think about it…Dad sent Hank to tell me he was happy. How do I know this?? When we were home 2 weeks ago, My sister Sharon Brown Furbee was going through pictures she brought and she says “here do you want this one, I have an extra one” (it is the only one she had a double of)
The photo here is the one that my sister gave me.
If you don’t believe….maybe you should start.” dee

9/7/13 – HELP!!!! I know it never ends. PLEASE SHARE! On March 2, 2013 a mom in labor was brought into the Emergency. Five kittens made it but the mom did not. Gina took in the five kittens and bottle fed them. A rescue took them when they were ready and has had them for the past 5 months. Only one has been adopted and now 4 of them are in jeopardy of being taken to the shelter because of an ordinance related complaint to Animal Control. They are all males, 7 months old, neutered and vaccinated and all of them are sweet as can be. If anyone is interested, please contact me at [email protected]and I will put you in touch with the foster. Thank You!!!
