My deep sympathies to Foxy’s family and friends. She sounds like a dear girl who very much deserves a warm welcome to the Rainbow Bridge.

I am deeply saddened to report on the very day I wrote about Randy and Foxy…Foxy has left us. Foxy was hit by a car–twice–while Randy was some distance away from her. She died at the vet’s. Randy left the vet, deeply distraught. I’m not sure where he is.

I just learned from another Dogster friend that the vet’s groomer is taking up a collection to have her cremated. She was a lovely, sweet-tempered dog, who gave the lie, yet again, to the idea that pitbulls are mean. Everyone who knows her is pretty devastated.

We have a Stone soup supper for the homeless each and every Monday night and there are at least 3 regular dogs that came and get fed outside and one cat!

One of the dogs is recuperating from a broken leg…the sheriff ran into her… and she has been well cared for by one of our local vets, by a pet store who donated a new leash and harness and ,more especially by her human companions. She is almost completly back to normal now.

What an uplifting story!

It sounds like another good example of how dogs can help bring people together.

Thanks for barking in!

There’s a homeless guy and his dog in our dog–Randy’s the guy and Foxy’s the dog. Randy is always asking my advice about how to take better care of Foxy, a pretty, lean, super-friendly black and white pitbull. Randy’s clearly made some choices in order to stick with Foxy, and there is a whole network of people in town (Hoboken NJ) who pitch in, from the vet to the dog walker to the social worker who’s tried to help them find housing.

That is so touching. I wish there were more people out there that would help the homeless. Instead of being so self-centered all the time.I was homeless for a short time. It was not a very good feeling.
