Hi Guys! I live in the San Francisco Bay area and have one puppy left from a litter of AKC German Shorthair Pointers. This final dog is a rare black and white male - age 9 weeks with his shots up to date. He was sold, but then had to be returned due to the new owner's dad being highly alergic to dogs (who knew??!!) - poor man almost died of an asthma attack. This dog was the pick of the litter - he is so cute and loveable. I already have 3 dogs and can't keep another by law. His price is $650, but to the right family I would be willing to discuss price. If you know of a hunter or even a family who likes pointers, have them contact me at [email protected]. Thank you. Sally

Hi, Corgi lover here!! We have a 10-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Kit -- he is King of our "castle" -- we love him so much. We've only had him 3 years, and when we got him he had heartworms. He went through 3 treatments before become heartworm negative. He is so sweet, when I come home from work he bows down to me. I noticed he would get in a position with his head down on his front paws on the floor and his butt in the air. I taught him to "Bow to the Queen" since he is of British birth. I had a chow mix when I was in high school and loved him. He was so beautiful. I am a major dog lover!!! Anne

Michelle, I have someone here on OH that wrote me and asked if I knew of anyone that had pugs...she wants an "apricot" colored one in particular. Can you help? Please write me ~ Thanks so much!

Yesterday I had to put my 17 1/2 y/o ****apoo to sleep. My dear sweet Samantha. I can hardly write this today...I miss her so . But she had a long and happy life until this week when she had multiple seizures...then I knew. My vet, who I have known for decades (and might I add I put all his kids through college ) said Samantha would never have lived that long and had the great quality of life had it not been for the devotion and great care I gave her. That means the world to me cause there is always the question of "is it the right time?". So now Samantha is playing pain-free by the Rainbow Bridge with Hunter, Shauna and Phoebe (my Miniature Schnauzers). I have been playing all day with my 2 y/o mini schnauzer Emma who seems to be grieving too. If you haven't heard about the Rainbow Bridge, here is the story (I cry every time I read it but it lifts me). Roberta Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
