2. Allow your pet to have access to water and shade.
3. Exercise your dog early in the morning or late at night.
4. Never, ever leave your pet in the car.
5. Watch for signs of dehydration.”

Many thanks to Ann Barile for requesting a Bauer’s Blessings Prayer Blanket created by Laura Palacio for Miss YaYa. After Laura created it, It was blessed by her minister who thought that YaYa was a great name. Laura said that this past May she entered her 5th year doing this beautiful kind gesture of knitting or crocheting blankets for sick, aging or ailing CCI or CCI COC pups. YaYa’s blanket is #631. Laura prays for the pup while she creates the blanket. YaYa’s blanket will go with her to all of her doctors appointments. I seem to have grown a fondness to this special blanket too❤️😘

"Never stop creating, learning and inspiring others to do whatever it is that makes one happy and grow in a positive way. Allow your creative juices to continue by finding ways to make the world a better place. And don’t get hung up on making things perfect— just create from your heart. Use this time to grow and refresh, regroup and reinvent yourself. Try new things. When this is all over and we look back on this challenging time in all of our lives, we will see just how we’ve grown. In retrospect, we will see that through the darkness of the pandemic there is a light of a better tomorrow." — Yvonne Dagger

“Angels come into our lives leaving a print of love on our hearts treasured forever.” 😇
Last evening Tommy TuTu was panting & acting out of sorts. He couldn’t get up on his hind legs. We were scared. Thanks to Catherine Aguis at the Park Animal Hospital-NewYork (who got in touch with Dr. Holly) mom & dad were able to bring him over. Dr. Holly took Tommy into the hospital...while they waited outside in the car... to examine Tommy. They couldn’t be with Tommy because of the COVID crisis. We really thought we’d have to say our goodbyes to him last evening. But, Dr. Holly is quite sure Tommy will be ok. He’s at the hospital now comfortable and resting. Mom & Dad will know more later today.
We are forever grateful to Cathy and Dr. Holly for answering the call
​and taking care of our Tommy TuTu.
Please keep my brother, Little Tommy TuTu, in your prayers.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

​“Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.
​It’s a day we remember the pet companions we’ve lost. The death of a pet is felt deeply. The pain is real and sometimes a difficult void to overcome. Today is a day to celebrate the home you provided and the joy your pet provided for you. When you’re ready, you will know the time has arrived to find a new pet to replace the emptiness felt. It’s a great time to look through pictures and enjoy the memories of your pet. Volunteering time at an animal shelter may help the adjustment.”
These photos are of the pets that have made their way over the Rainbow Bridge in our home.

They are matriarchal, kind to each other and strangers, sensitive, extremely intelligent and peace loving apes. They live exclusively in the Congo. There are only 10,000-20,000 bonobos left in the wild. We must do whatever we can to protect them. If each one of us does a little, a lot will get done.

Do you have a favorite Teddy Bear?
Did you know... that the Teddy Bear was named after our 26th President of the USA, Teddy Roosevelt. One day in 1902, while he was hunting in Mississippi, he refused to shoot a bear cub. The story and the cub inspired New York toy store owner, Morris Michtom to create a new toy. Morris wrote to President Roosevelt to ask his permission to name the new toy a “Teddy Bear.”
