We
still need a lot of help, and our March Straydog Newsletter
is still
a couple of weeks away from being mailed to our list of contributors,
the majority of whom (for whatever reason) never see this website,
and thus
receive communication from Straydog only via the U.S. mail.
Thanks
so much to those who continue to contribute directly to our Straydog

A longtime friend
and supporter of our Happy Home for Strays called
awhile back and suggested that we always print
the following words on our webpage and in our newsletters:
"Please
keep us in your prayers
and remember us in your will."
This friend (and
supporter) pointed out that many retired contributors
are living on the limited earnings from their investments (as
is he), and they
cannot afford to send very large donations but would be able to
help us by
remembering Straydog in their wills, as this friend and supporter
has done.
We received an email from Consuelo
in January 2009 with the following information:
Penalties for Abandoning
Dogs in the State of Texas:
It is a "Class A Misdemeanor with up to $4,000 fine and/or
year in jail."
Why don't we put signs up everywhere
with the above info on them?!
Please click here to visit
www.ReadLarryPowell.com where Larry
did a fund-raiser on his website for Big Pup Duncan's hip surgeries,
which cost $1,200 per hip.
Larry
raised $1,470 for the first hip, and Duncan has completely recovered
from his February 2009 hip surgery.
Later the vet determined that Duncan fortunately didn't have to
have the second hip surgery, and he's doing fine.
