Zach, the thought of putting these dogs to sleep is such a heart breaker. You and your wife are doing such a heroic and wonderful thing. Thank you for all that you are doing for these fine animals and for sharing with us.

Rosemary, do hope you will beable to stay in contact with us while you are on vacation to let us know how Beau is doing and what crop is growing this year. Did you happen to cook you up some corn while you were there last time?

Zach, the dog's are Beautiful. Again, thank you for sharing.

Beau looks very much like Clifford. This breaks my heart.

I've got Beau so trained, because he is very, very big and I can't put him on a leash and control him, so when we walk or I let him out in the back field on his own, he ALWAYS gets a big doggie treat for coming home. If I say "TREAT", he obeys anything that I say.

This is a good thing. Beau is almost as big as I am.

I can hardly look at those pics, Zach. I want to adopt all of them.

Your BC friend,

Thank *you*, Rosemary and Alice.

This is the dog we're fostering right now:
www.fetchingcompanions.org/html/foster_dogs.html#Anchor-Summe-54838

She was picked up as a stray, and I've never seen a dog so filthy and matted.

Now she's beautiful. How someone can dump a dog like this--or not come looking for her when she goes missing--is beyond me.

By the way, old dogs are the sweetest. They have a very special place in my heart, and some people, God bless them, actually seek out older dogs to adopt, knowing that they are the hardest to find homes for and are usually the first that are put to sleep at the pound.

I am going next week during the vacation period to dog sit my nephew's Golden Retriever, Beau. He is so sweet and he is getting old. It will just be me and Beau in a big, stylish house with a covered porch and a view that looks out over fields and fields of North Carolina farmland surrounded by forest. Last year, there was planted corn so tall that you had to look up to see the sky. I can't wait to see what is planted there this year.

Thanks again, Zach for helping the doggies.

Wow, Zach! I do love dogs so very much but am so limited as to how much I can help. I do everything that I can, but it isn't much. Thank you so much for what you do on their behalf. I really enjoyed the article about your business. I am so glad that you are here.

Your friend,
