My personal message:

 

On Friday June 27th we had to let Pigman go.  I held his little head as I helped him pass on to the next life where no dog is EVER chained.  It was just too much for his little body to try and live with only one lung.  Had he not been chained for 13 years this would have never happened.  I have never met a dog that literally made me laugh out loud every single day.  Everyone keeps saying that we gave him a wonderful 10 months but what they don't understand is that he gave us SO much more.

I will be Chaining myself on Saturday July 5th from 9 AM to 7 PM in State College PA.  It will be so much harder and yet so much more important!  I will have 10 hours to sit isolated and alone and to think that for every hour it will represent an entire year of Pig's life.  Can you even imagine the hell? 

And yet he was able to forget and enjoy every single day he was here (after the first couple weeks of figuring it out).  He was an amazing special strong boy who effected anyone who met him.

To those of you who have donated, a simple thank you does not cover how much we appreciate it.  If I have not contacted you personally yet please know how much it means.

If you haven't PLEASE HELP me to reach my goal and surpass it.  Pig' spirit could not be broken after being abused, fly bitten and ignored for 13 years.  These dogs do not deserve it and need us to stop the abuse.  It is happening, more and more towns are passing non chaining laws.  It is SO important and honestly can you think of even ONE reason why it should be allowed?

It is not about the amount, even a $1 an hour of my chaining is appreciated.  Please help.

For Pigman,  You were a one of a kind and we are so thankful that you were sent to us.  To say you will be missed is an understatement and to say you took part of our hearts with you is truth.  We love you and thank you, you gave us so much more.

Deb, Rich, Brother, Hershey, Sadie & Milton
