futurecoolpet7.jpgOscar Meyer Joseph; Oscar was a stray dodging traffic on a busy Long Beach street. My daughter rushed out to him, scooping him up to safety. He immediately captivated every one lucky enough to make his acquaintance. He is a Wire Haired Doxie with an adorable face and a sweet personality to match. Having him micro chipped adds a lot of peace of mind. Finding such a special dog was a very fortuante day for us. Oscar will never ever be homeless again.

futurecoolpet8.jpgCorky the Kitten Rescuer: Recently our dog, Corky had a barking fit at one part of the fence in our back yard. My daughter stood on a ladder to look over the fence and could see nothing to account for Corky's barking frenzy. Nevertheless, Corky persisted in barking at that part of the fence, whenever he was allowed access to that part of the yard for the next few days.
In desperation, I asked my daughter to take another look over the fence to see what could be there that had Corky so upset. To our surprise, this time there was a small kitten. Unable to reach the kitten, I asked a neighbor and her handy man to help. I also called Animal Control.
It was estimated that the kitten wa about six weeks old. Because the kitten was so small we were told that it wouldn't be adopted but probably be put to sleep. My neighbor adopted the kitten. As a result of Corky's persistant barking at the fence, this kitten now has eight more lives to live and a new home as well. This is the second time Corky's barking at the fence has alerted us to take action. About a year ago there were feral kittens on the other side of our fence, and not sign of the mother.

futurecoolpet9.jpgWon-ton Joseph: We have adopted a beautiful Siamese cat. He was left to fend for himself after his owner moved away. It seems we specialize in homeless pets. His canine brothers are not yet accepting of him, so we have had quite a bit of drama. We are hoping someday that they will all get along. Since we have never been cat people, we have had some things to learn. Won-ton is not only handsome, but sweet and a welcomed addition to our family.
