With the cold of Winter upon us, if you have some extra Blankets & Quilts just lying around, think of your area Animal Shelters & Rescue Organizations & drop those off to help give a doggy or kitty a nice warm bed for the Holidays.

From our Holiday House to yours...Merry Christmas!

Dogs Will Dine When Vick is Sacked by Redskins

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:39:00 +0000

This awesome article is from "Muttsblog", as posted on September 9th, 2009
Dogs will dine when Vick is sacked
"Main Line Animal Rescue placed an ad in today’s Washington Post, pledging five bags of dog food to Washington D.C. animal shelters for each time Michael Vick is sacked.

The rescue, located outside of Philadelphia, said the ad is aimed at bringing attention back to the needs of dogs.

Each time the Eagles new backup quarterback is tackled during the Oct. 26 away game against the Washington Redskins, five bags of dog food will be donated to a D.C. animal shelter.

It also encourages people to volunteer at a shelter on game day.

Vick served 18 months in prison for funding a dog-fighting operation. The Eagles, in signing Vick to a two-year deal, said he’d served his time and deserved a second chance.

“I think we’re all getting tired of the ‘Does he deserve a second chance?’ kind of thing,” said Bill Smith, founder and CEO of the shelter, which is near Valley Forge. “… Maybe it’s about time that the million pit bulls euthanized every year got their second chance.”

“It’s such a misunderstood breed. … They’re great dogs,” Smith told the Philadelphia Inquirer, adding that the stigma pit bulls carry is ”because of people like Michael Vick.”

The ad’s aim is to bring attention back to the needs of dogs, he said. “I think we just need to raise public awareness and this is a good way to do that.”

The ad may run in other cities where the Eagles play, including San Diego, Chicago and New York, he said.

Smith said that if Vick had “any sense of humor at all,” and really wanted to help dogs, he could stand on the field before the Oct. 26 game and let players tackle him, so even more dogs will get fed.

Given Vicks public statements that he wants to help the dogs he once tortured and killed, “He should thank us” for the opportunity, Smith said."

Kudos to the Fabulous Folks at Main Line Animal Rescue! Let's hope that they get to donate 100's of bags of kibble to the DC Shelter. Goooooooo Redskins! Sack Vick!

Eagles Pick Vick....

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:55:00 +0000

This about sums up how I feel too, Hector...

"Vick reinstated.....hmmmm"......

"I've met Vick........Not impressed.
The End."

The Pic & statement from former Vick dog "Hector" were taken from "The Vick Dogs Blog...hear it from the dogs themselves". The link is in my Favorite Things list to the left. You should check it out 'cause these dogs have plenty to say!

Be prepared to be WOWED by their AWESOMENESS!

Thanks again to Bad Rap, Donna Reynolds, Tim Racer, Roo & Clara Yori. You guys Rock!

Back from Vacation & I have Pictures!

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:53:00 +0000

We went on our annual Helen, Ga trip this weekend, but we went down a day earlier than the big bike group so we could check out more of the area sites. Boy are we glad that we did!

We stopped by a few Antique Shops. This one was in Helen & the shop & gardens were just lovely!

One was named "Good K-9 Antiques" & you know I had to go in there! LOL!

We stopped by the Indian Mound Memorial...

...Hunted up a Bike Repair Shop, to help out one of our fellow riders. We lucked onto a shop named "Rooster's" & got to meet this cute little girl...

...Stopped by a Kewl Place called "Goats on the Roof" and I could have stayed there all afternoon! The Goats really have people trained there. Folks buy food & then peddle a bicycle or crank a wheel to deliver the treat cups up to the eagerly waiting Goats! They have all sorts of aerial walkways & bridges to get them from one treat location to another. I knew my Friend & Goat Lover, Jen & her Daughter Riley would get a kick out of this place!

They even had a "Reserved Parking Spot" saved for my Dear Hubs!

As we were leaving, I found this Cute Little Feller relaxing by a shady bush...

Then it was back to town...

For dinner & drinks with our friends...

...and night time Carriage Rides through town...

On our way home, we stopped off in Cherokee for some quick shopping, where I snapped this colorful guy standing on a corner.

Our trip was a short weekend jaunt, but when we went to pick the boys up from the Doggie B&B, you would have thought we had been gone for Months!

It's fun to get away, but there is still "No Place Like Home!" :)

The Sons are Gonna Rise...

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:53:00 +0000

Phil Wins Second Place!

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:49:00 +0000

Can you stand just one more Phil story? LOL!

I entered my Sweet Philly Boy in our local Walmart's Annual Prettiest Pet Contest this year...on a flook really, and he won Second Place! I could not be more proud!

The voting goes like this...The pet pictures are attached to jars & people "vote" w/ change & dollar bills for the one they think is the prettiest. The money goes to a Great cause...The Childrens Miracle Network. There was lot's of competition too! I was really surprised when I got the call on Tuesday..."Congratulation! Phil has won second place...you can come & pick up his pet portrait & gift certificate at any time."

I got off the phone & told Hubs...To which he smiles & says..."How much did YOU Vote?" What a Smarty Pants he is! Hmmmph! I voted 5 dollars worth, thank you very much! hehehe

He's Three!

All Dogs Go to Heaven

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Fri, 08 May 2009 21:35:00 +0000

I was visiting Artist Robert McClintock's Fabulous Website today & while looking through his Wonderful Artwork Series called "Dogs That I Know," I came upon this particular print & my eyes teared up.

The name of the print is called "Golden-Nutmeg" but it is a face that I could have sworn was a Beautiful Old Golden Gentleman from our office that we all knew & loved as "Archie"

Though he was not "our dog" as far as ownership goes...We was "our dog" as far as a long time patient, boarder & genuine 4 legged friend to everyone he met. To know him was to love him. We recently lost our beloved Archie to old age, but he will remain in our hearts & minds until we catch a glimpse of him again someday, at the Rainbow Bridge. RIP Dear Archie Boy...I know that All Dogs Do Go to Heaven.

Please click the title to this post to take you directly to Mr. Robert McClintock's Website. His Artwork is Absolutely Fabulous.

Chief is recovering from surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Wed, 06 May 2009 03:10:00 +0000

Our Chief had his MPL surgery on Monday, May 4th. He came through the procedure like a champ & is recovering at our hospital this week, so that we can keep an eye on him & keep him off of our steps & tile floor at home, at least until his stitches come out.

Chief is no stranger to leg problems. He came into our hospital as an emergency, with 2 injured front legs, after being hit by a truck. He was in our kennels for a long time, as his owners did not return for him, when they could not pay his hospital bill. After several attempts to contact them, and no replies, Chief was getting major kennel stress & needed a place to stay. I had no foster dog at the time & offered to take him home with me. I brought him home on Nov 1st of 2008. Within the first 2 weeks, I noticed him favoring his rear right leg, so back to the office he went for a check up. The diagnosis was a "luxating patella"... most likely another effect from being hit by the truck.

Here he is with Phil. You can see how he favored the leg...

Sooooo...I quickly made the executive decision to keep Chief on as a permanent addition to our family. I knew the chances of him being adopted, while in need of a knee surgery, were pretty slim, if at all. He is a really nice boy & he has had a rough life in the past. He has a cauliflower ear...not from the truck accident, but likely from being struck in the head & he has buckshot in his body that showed up on his xrays. Despite all of this, he is a happy go lucky sort of fellow who has made a wild & crazy addition to our pack of cast offs.

Get Well Soon Chiefie-Poo! Phil & Petie are waiting for you to romp in the back yard again!

FYI: Here's a bit of info on a luxating patella...

LUXATING PATELLA (KNEE CAP)

Patellar luxation is a dislocation of the knee cap either toward the inside (medial) or outside (lateral) of the leg. The patella and its ligament normally rides in a trough or trochlear groove in the center of the leg (femur). It is one of the most common knee joint abnormalities in dogs.

Luxation may result from traumatic injury or congenital (present at birth) deformities. If the groove that the patellar ligament (knee cap) rides in is too shallow or if the distal attachment of the patellar ligament is medial instead of central, the patella will dislocate medially when the knee is bent. When this occurs, the dog (or cat) has difficulty bearing weight on the leg until the ligament snaps back into place. Sometimes only one knee is involved, but the disease can become bilateral (involving both legs) in 50% of cases.

Patellar luxation is most common in toy and miniature dog breeds, especially Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Pekingese, Chihuahuas, Miniature Pinschers and Boston Terriers.

Clinical signs of patellar luxation vary depending upon severity and chronicity of the disease and may develop soon after birth or generally after four months of age. With mild forms of luxation, animals may occasionally pick up the affected leg when they run. As the disease progresses, animals may present with increased lameness with a decreased ability to jump. Pain is usually not associated with this condition unless it is the result of trauma or until degenerative arthritis has occurred due to chronicity of disease.

Some pets can tolerate this disease for many years, some for all of their lives, with minimal consequences. However, this weakness of the knee joint can predispose the knee and even the hip joint to other injuries such as degenerative arthritis and torn knee ligaments, both painful conditions.

Grade I -- The patella can be manually luxated but easily comes back into normal position. Patient may or may not occasionally carry the affected leg.

Grade II -- Patella luxates on flexion of the knee joint and remains out of place until manually replaced or patient extends and rotates joint. Patient intermittently carries the affected limb with the knee joint flexed.

Grade III -- Patella remains luxated most of the time but can be manually reduced (placed back into position). Flexion and extension of the knee joint reluxates the patella. Patient transfers most of the body weight to the front legs, bunny hops or carries the affected legs, and appears bowlegged or knock-kneed.

Grade IV -- Patella is permanently luxated and cannot be manually repositioned. The quadriceps muscle group starts to shorten, making it difficult to extend the leg fully. Patient transfers most of the body weight to the front legs, bunny hops or carries the affected legs, and appears bowlegged or knock-kneed.

Treatment is based upon severity of signs and your pet’s age, breed and weight. Conservative therapy is often chosen in the early stages of the condition. However, if the patellar luxation is a grade III, your pet has persistent lameness, or other knee injuries occur secondary to the luxation, then surgery is the best option for your pet. Even with conservative medical therapy, your pet is at increased risk for torn ligaments in the knee and the condition can worsen over time, leading to degenerative joint disease which is a permanent and painful condition. If the surgery is performed before arthritis occurs, the prognosis is excellent and your pet should retain full use of his leg.

Your dog should have the bandage and stitches removed at 10 to 14 days following surgery and have strict rest for four to six weeks. This would require, in most cases, confinement to a single room, no going up or down stairs, avoiding slippery surfaces such as tile, hardwood floors or linoleum, and leash walk for bathroom duty only.

Wish us luck on keeping this active boy still for 6 weeks! YIKES! :)

Justice For Boss

noreply@blogger.com (Briar Rabbit Primitives) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:21:00 +0000

KNOXVILLE — The wounds on "Boss" the pit bull hurt Leslie and James Woody, the owners of Break The Chain Pit Bull Rescue. The rescue travels all over the United States to find pit bulls a good home. That is exactly what they thought they did for Boss.

"We have home checks and vet checks," said Leslie Woody.

"We do work history checks and background checks for domestic violence," James Woody said.

All of those checks cleared a McMinn County man to adopt Boss in March.

The red flag didn't show until Boss missed two of his vet visits.

Three and a half weeks later after the adoption the Woody's wanted answers from the owner.

"He told us that Boss had an accident. We demanded to see him on Monday," Leslie Woody said.

"When I saw him I was speechless," James Woody said of his reaction this Monday.

The dog rescue said the owner first told them a tale.

"...that he was driving down the road and Boss did jump out of the window and then he took him to the vet," said Leslie Woody.

Then the rescue said the owner told the truth.

"He was tied to the back bumper of the truck. He was forgot about. He [the owner] got a phone call. He just backed over him and took off down the driveway and down the road," said Leslie Woody.

The Woody's believe Boss was dragged one mile and that the owner never took him to a veterinarian.

It was nearly 18 days later before the rescue learned of Boss' injuries. The Woody's rushed Boss to the Lenoir City Animal Clinic.

"He is on some antibiotics now, and the plan is to let the other small wounds scar in," said Dr. Tom Bradbury, a veterinarian at LCAC.

Bradbury will perform surgery on Boss next week to cover the larger wounds. The veterinarian does believe that Boss was dragged.

The Woody's plan to file a police report on the owner. They said their strict adoption checks will now be more tough.

If you are interested in adopting Boss or would like to help with medical expenses, you can e-mail your information to the Break The Chain Pit Bull Rescue at breakthechainpitbullrescue@live.com.
