Happy Day!

August 16, 2009 by Dr. V

I just got off the phone with Reggie’s foster dad in Phoenix. He arrived safe and sound and is already making friends with the four dogs who live there permanently. He will be seen by a vet there soon for a checkup and a more thorough medical evaluation than we were ever allowed to do by his previous owners.

Reggie the Wonder Dog

Looking to a happier tomorrow…

Now that he’s safe and sound, I can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

The doggie angels at Another Chance for English Setters made this all possible- well, that and a great college student named Brett, may you make all A’s my friend- so my thanks are out in the universe to them all.

I donated the money I had put aside for gas, which Brett refused, to the rescue, which wasn’t a whole lot but I figure anything is helpful. If you just happen to have a spare dollar or cent kicking around in your Paypal and you feel moved to send it on in Reggie’s name, their donation link is here.

Not that I am asking, mind you, just putting it out there in case you had been thinking to yourself, man, I wish I could send that dog a quarter. The idea of a bunch of little pennies tricking in under his name delights me and would hearten me after hearing how many bloggers put up a sob story and have readers fund them trips to conferences, new computers, that sort of thing.

And if not I still love you anyway. This has been a good day.
