Friday followup: Pancho, the puppies, and a DAN auction (ends tomorrow)

One thing that drives me crazy about finding information on the Internet, about "death row" dogs, and sick puppies, is frequently you never hear how it turns out. You assume the worse, really. Though it's better to hope that they were adopted, and went to lovely homes where the adopters are not nearly as interested in the Internet as the rest of us.

I've done that too you a couple of times here. It wasn't intentional, obviously, but I don't always learn the answer either. Today, though, I have a couple of partial answers!

The puppies who may or may not have had Parvo are still holding on. Bluebell is unfortunately still not well, but is trying to hold her own.

Custom Caricature of Your Dog: Doberman Assistance Network auction

The Doberman Assistance Network has an eBay auction right now for a Custom Caricature of your pet!

The work that they have as examples looks pretty rad!

As always, the proceeds from the auction go to help Dobermans in need across the country. The Doberman Assistance Network works to pull Dobermans out of kill shelters, transport them to foster homes, and much more. Without them, so many Dobermans would be in jeopardy, languishing in shelters, and wondering if they'll ever have a person to love them.

So, if you have some cash to spare, head on over to eBay and give it a bid! Please share this, tweet it, tell your friends who are just as dog (and pet!) crazy as some of the rest of us. The Dobermans thank you.

Bid on a Handmade collar, Help the Doberman Assistance Network

As I understand it, some people are collar junkies. Really, I only have one collar at a time for Elka, two right now because I got the waterproof collar for our beach vacation. Not that I think there's anything wrong with being a collar junkie; it's just not me. I do what I can to facilitate those folks, though, and so I bring you a beautiful and slightly over the top collar handmade by Cerberus Designs.

I've talked about the Doberman Assistance Network before, but I can't overstate the importance that DAN has for Dobermans in shelters and rescues in this country. I'm given to understand that the 13 Dobermans in Broome County Humane Society have had an interest taken in them (one might assume) by DAN, and if the Broome County Humane Society should choose to give those dogs over to rescue, they could hardly be in better hands.

The eBay auction is running until July 11, so if you want your big ol' dog to look like a total badass, go ahead and bid, and see if you win! I'll want to see pictures.
