Ramblings And Odie Update!

Greetings!  I know it has been quiet here at Shelley's Golden Rescues, but I plan to return to rescuing in October.   I will be making some occasional short trips back to the Valley of the Sun and if an opporturnity arises where I can be of some help, I am ready and willing to help out a Golden friend!  Stay tuned on that front. 


 GREAT NEWS!!!  Odie was a winner last night in the "Cutest Golden Contest" and will be featured in the Rescue A Golden Calendar!!!  I know he wants the month of April, but we shall see if he gets his wish.  (April is the month he was adopted in to his forever home)  Someone else was voting big time for him other than me and that is what pushed him into the winner's spot.  ($1.00 a vote)  This contest went on for many weeks where each week voting started back at 0.  Odie won out over 200 other Goldens!!!!  Yeah!  Team Odie all the way!!!  You can see I am soooo happy!  Calendar anyone?

I am fortunate that Odie and Sampson's forever moms have stayed in touch with me.  What a great feeling to follow their journey.  Here is a little story on Odie.......

Odie has lost about 25 pounds and seems to have developed a bit of a stubborn personality.  My take is that he is definitely feelings his oats and loving life!  How great is that?  The other day after his nice long evening walk he came home still feeling frisky.  Maybe he was just hot, but he jumped to everyone's surprise into the bathtub with his 4 year old "brother".  I guess at first it was funny, but then it was messy and stinky.  Odie is now signed up for obedience school!  Ha Ha Ha!!!  Funny!  Before he could barely even get in the car,  now he is jumping into bathtubs!!!!  I say "way to go, Odie"!

Please give YOUR furry friend a hug today and check back!
