SPECIAL PLEA - CAN YOU HELP BILOXI???


We have a special and unusual situation.....Biloxi is a four month old siberian puppy who only weighs 20 pounds. He was hit by a car and is currently in a shelter in MS. A nationwide plea has produced no results and this little guy needs surgery quickly. His pelvis and femur are fractured and are starting to mend improperly. If he does not get prompt care he will be lame for the rest of his life~ if he is not euthanized at the shelter.

Of course this is out of our area but one of our foster Dad's is in MS every other week for business. The foster home have been working hard to figure out how to bring this little guy toMaPaw for the care he so desperately needs. The foster Dad is arranging to rent a car and travel down (rather than flying). He can bring him back next week and they will look after him and supervise his recuperation.

We have never said "no" because of money and we certainly do not want to say "no" to a young puppy who can have a full and healthy life. Right now, funds are low. Adoptions have been slow and the expenses never stop. We are presently checking with the foster families vet and sending him the x-rays for a tentative prognosis and estimate. The southern people are guessing at least $1500 for the surgery.

Biloxi's X-ray

If we can raise donations for this pup we can offer him a second leash on life. We hate begging - everyone does so much for the dogs and we appreciate that so much. We ask that you think good thoughts for this puppy and if you can make a small donation it will make a world of difference for him. MaPaw is a 501(c)3 rescue, so all donations are tax deductable.

Paypal donations can be made at www.sibes.com

On behalf of the puppy, thank woo:)

TRAINING AND RACING!!!!!

Hey everypupper, it's me Prince!!!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I've been keeping busy (and out of trouble!) training and racing.
I had my first race of the season a couple of weeks ago at our annual local race - the Sandy Point Scarper. I ran with my buddy Suggen in the two dog scooter class the first day and we got second!!! On the second day I ran with five of my friends in a six dog team and we got third!!! Our good friend Haakon ran us.

I'm busy training at the moment for an out of town race that's not too far away. I'm running with my buddy Suggen again in two dog scooter on both days (two heats). Our Mom is running us this time!!!

I'm training four days a week and having a few rest days in between.....boy do I love to run.

Our cousin Madison had her first ever race at the Scarper - she ran our friends dog (and our friend) Pharaoh in the Junior Under 10yr Single Dog Scooter race and she came 1ST!!! We were so proud of our girl, her's a few photos of her:




Just look at that smile:) The juniors have to have an adult go with them for safety reasons - they can either run, bike, scoot or they can even go on a three wheeled rig with the juniors.

That's it from me, I'm going to have some tea and then rest as I've been for a run tonight and I'm going again tomorrow night. Better re-fuel!!!

Woo Woos - Prince
