Nili’s journey home to me

Good Morning friends,

Today 2 years ago Nili made the long journey from Palm Springs to her home in San Francisco.

I was very blessed by my friends for stepping in and fostering her the two weeks till we could find someone to bring her to me. She has spent two weeks living with them, been spoiled by the family and playing with Winnie, their rescued dog.

As you all know Nili, was rescued from the L.A. Animal control where they put all her details down and I have subsequently learned they were not correct. Here name at the shelter was Gladys and all I thought was oy vey, I could not keep that name. A friend of mine who does animal rescue explained to me they cannot always do it as they do not have the funding for DNA tests. Avi, my friend took her to the vet for a check up and told me that she was not afraid at all WOW, and the vet told him the following:

She was sure Nili is about 2-2.5 years at most based upon her teeth and the brightness in her eyes. She has been through one or two heat cycles but does not think she has given birth. She is very healthy. No Upper respiratory infection at all and she was spayed when she got home.. She heard no wheezing or crackling in her lungs that the Shelter said she had and that is why they did not spay her. . She weighed 16.4 lbs. She has a cutaneous histiocytoma on her head which has cleared up.   She said Nili is a very healthy, alert pup, and a great rescue.

I drove myself nuts and child proofed the house, had everything ready and drove myself crazy waiting for her arrival.  Matt who brought her to me every couple of hours texted Avi and then Avi would text me with updates. It is a long ride from Palm Springs to San Francisco, about 8 hours and he stopped along the way so she could potty  but she slept peacefully in her expandable pet carrier that the company Mr Peanuts gave her. They are such a fantastic small family business and so quick to help where possible. They sent  her a large expandable carrier, medium sized one and a pink regular carrier so Nili was spoiled. The medium sized I left with Avi to give to whoever he would like to as sharing is caring and that is so important.

Here is their link and I strongly suggest you look at all their amazing reasonable products.

Nili had a lot to learn upon arrival but she has settled in well, listens 90% of the time to commands LOL and if you use the magic work treat she really listens LOL.

Upon arrival she pottied, ate some food, explored the apartment and then went to bed.

I want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you thank you to Jonathan, Avi, Will, Shai, Boaz, Quasi, Winnie and Matt for helping me with everything, keeping Nili safe and amused and most of all getting her home to me, I am so blessed to have you all in my life.

Have a wonderful weekend, we hope you have loads of fun and relax also,

With a woof and love

Nili speaking out

Hello to all my friends,

Today, Friday is a special day for Mom, it is her birthday as I am speaking for my sister Layla also wishing Mom a very happy Birthday, I am so blessed to have been adopted by her and spending her special day with her as my sister is over the Rainbow Bridge makes it even more special.

I have always rescued a pet and that is why this day, Remember Me Thursday is so dear to me.

What is this day?

 

Remember Me Thursday is on the last Thursday of September every year when we speak out for the orphan pets in shelters wanting homes, they are innocent and in many ways, we are to blame.

This is me in the shelter that Mom saw and quickly adopted me, Nili

 

This is a day when we all get together campaigning for them as no innocent orphaned pet should have to die in a Shelter because someone dumped them there.

 

As Mike Arms, President and CEO of Helen Woodward Animal Center says : We all come from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, but together, we can raise our voices and share one life-saving message and literally save millions of pets on this one day.”

 

You can read more about it on their website :

https://remembermethursday.org/about/

How can we shine a light on:

  1. Attend a Remember Me Thursday event near you. –
  2. You can find the events near you on Google or on the website above.Hold a pet food plus other pet related items fundraiser for your local shelter.
  3. Check to see if one of your shelters in your area are having an adoption event.
  4. Speak out, encourage friends and family to adopt and open their homes to an orphan pet.
  5. There are so many ways we can all help, so let’s take one step forward today to do it.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our friends a Happy, Sweet, Healthy New Year as our New Year 5785 starts in the evening of the 2nd of October and our prayers are that the New Year will bring homes to all the orphaned pets. I will share with you next week all the yummy food Mom has told me about, I cannot wait.

With love and woofs from Nili

 

Layla’s Wish for Christmas

Hi everyone, are you getting ready for Christmas ?  What is on your wish list.

Mom and I discussed Christmas, the gifts people give and so much more but this year because of all the pets being dumped in shelters, abandoned on streets, I decided that my wish for Christmas would not be gifts but something more important. So I wrote a letter to Santa saying:#dont

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, with lots of laughter, food and family but am begging not for treats but that everyone thinks of all the poor homeless and shelter pets that are needing a home.

Please remember to keep us safe from all the not good stuff for pets :

With woof and love from

Layla
