Second Anniversary Rescue Party!

As most people in our Li'l Smokey family know, July 17th 2010 marks the second anniversary of Li'l Smokeys rescue. Sue, Linda and Denise from Redding planned and pulled off a wonderful two day event filled with lots of food and fun and hugs. The weather was definitely not cooperating (108 on Friday and 106 on Saturday) but everyone was in good spirits. I hear we are back to Lake Tahoe for next year. What a blast!

 

**Does anyone from the party have pictures they want to share? We were having so much fun we forgot to take any pictures**

Li'l Smokey and Blackbear Diner: A match made in heaven?

Every since we published "Saving Li'l Smokey" people have been asking us when this book would be available at Blackbear Diner.  For those of you from the east, Blackbear diners are a great local chain with over 40 stores in the western states. As the name implies, they are a bear-themed restaraunt and we believe that our book will be a great addition to their gift shop. They have agreed to have our books in two of their stores (Redding and Mount Shasta) to see how well it sells. If you have a location nearby, and you want to show your support, please ask them to carry the book as well!

 

Also, we want to add a special thanks to our other distributors:

Burrito Bandito (Redding and Anderson Locations) [Our Top Seller]

All About Books (Redding)

Bibles Books and More (Redding)

Turtle Bay Bookstore (Redding)

Whiskeytown National Recreation Area Visitors Center

Kodiak "Kody" Thomas Deem (2/24/1997 - 4/21/2010)

Just after midnight this last Wednesday, God took Kody home. He died peacefully in his sleep. Kody was a native Alaskan and lifelong outdoor enthusiast. A trained medical and therapy service dog, Kody spent his life giving love, healing and companionship to everyone w...ho connected with him. He spent his last days at his favorite off-leash beach in Carmel, California, taking in the sea air--completely happy and content. On the trip home, he enjoyed a double cheeseburger. That night, he begged for and ate an entire rawhide before curling up on his bed. An hour later, his precious heart gave out, and he was gone. He is survived by two canine siblings, Lillian (5), Murphy (1), and his parents, Adam and Celeste. He is their firstborn, and will never, ever be replaced. He is deeply missed and forever loved.

"Into paradise may the angels lead you."

 

It was Kody's example that I thank for giving me the compassion to save Li'l Smokey. Here I am giving him the credit in October of 2008:

Travesty of Justice!

Many of you have been following the trial of former Los Angeles assistant fire chief Glynn Johnson on charges of animal cruelty. He was convicted of beating a puppy so badly that it had to be euthanized. The charge, a felony in California, brings a potential sentence of 4 years in prison. Well, yestrday the judge handed down his sentence: 90 days of "weekend jail" and three years of probation! It makes me sad and angry that such acts are taken so lightly. I believe that how we treat animals shows who we are on the inside: gentle, or harsh, loving or cruel, merciful or malignant. This guy is a certified jerk in my personal opinion and I believe that his own life will be punishment for his deeds. There is still more people can do. Visit the familys website at www.justice4karley.com and learn about their efforts to change animal cruelty laws.
