<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We are continuing to put out<span

for some special help for three lovely senior girls.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We at 4 The Hounds have
experienced some tragic losses recently. Our beloved Petunia passed over
the Bridge .<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Her wonderful foster mom
noticed that she was bleeding from the mouth and nose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Mom rushed Petunia to the
emergency vet, but unfortunately there was nothing to be done, and our Petunia
took her final trip.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Sadly although Petunia is
gone we have a large ($700.00) emergency vet bill that still has to be paid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Gladys’ Sarah also has
a sad story. Gladys noticed that Sarah was having difficulty
walking. After all the diagnostics were done it was determined that <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Sarah had bone cancer.
Gladys had no choice but to do the kind thing and send Sarah to the Bridge,
leaving a sad gap in the kennel. Her mate Abraham is lost without her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Again, there is a $250.00 vet
bill that has to be paid for Sarah’s treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Finally (and on a brighter
note) our Tillie needs to have surgery to remove a number of tumors from behind
her legs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Doc does not think that they
are cancerous, but they need to be removed for Tillie’s comfort and so
she can walk normally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The estimate for this surgery
is $300.00.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
