Oakland: 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Thanks to all who came out to the Oakland City Council budget cuts mtng on Oct 16. The council heard our pleas, and 2 of the 3 endangered positions at the shelter are safe. Whew.
LOVE Sonja Joy's costume!
ReplyDeleteShe looks just like my "Bently" ... but I don't think he'd allow those wings,=)
I may just have to bring my girls to one of the events! Now to get them costumes...
ReplyDeleteLOL! Those pictures should be titled "Why Pit Bulls Bite People." I wish we lived in the Bay Area and could join in the festivities. My piebald pittie is going as a cow. Have fun guys!
ReplyDeletePaws and Claws rocks! They always help costumers like me out! Always willing to order products for you :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a BIG thank you to those who voiced their opinions about the need to keep staff on board at OAS.
ReplyDeleteThey have so many dogs . . . while spending approximately twenty minutes this past Saturday afternoon in the OAS lobby, I witnessed two owner-surrenders and one dog-at-large drop-off. Twenty minutes.
