Time for a walk

It’s that time of year and team Wonder Puppies will be hitting the pavement walking for the San Diego Human Society. 

Please consider joining us this year, virtually, from wherever you are. You can walk anything with fur, feathers, scales or skin or a plushie if that’s all you’ve got. Or carry a photo of a beloved. You can do it any day, any time from any where. We don’t care. Our team will not be walking the way too early morning of May 6 at Liberty Station in San Diego, CA. We’ll be walking the week previous and probably the week after too. Because our team is only together Monday through Friday. But that is the beauty of virtual. Choose your time, space and companion. But do consider donating to the San Diego Humane Society. They are a wonderful organization that not only helps domestic animals and their biped companions but also the natural creatures of our environment that need an occasional helping hand.

Not the last chance, apparently

Not the last chance to  support the animals of San Diego County.  http://support.sdhumane.org/goto/Diana You can donate until May 28 according to the humane society. 

Diana pawPrints and I represented The Wonder Puppies by taking a walk around the park in Allied Gardens, a neighborhood I used to live in about 35 years ago. It has a nice big park adjacent to the recreation center. Diana met some people and a dog, not walking for the animals but just out for a nice day. A nice lady took our picture. 

While we did achieve our goal of raising $100 it was only by donating $60 out of my own pocket. It would be nice to raise over our goal. The San Diego Humane Society is a worthy charity. I encourage you to explore their website to learn in how many ways they not only help pets to find forever homes but also aid local wildlife to either rehabilitate and release or provide forever homes for those that are cannot survive back in the wild. 

A heartwarming/heartbreaking story is that of Benji the bear. He habituated to humans which would normally be a death sentence. But he was caught and the Human Society created a large enclosure for him to become an animal ambassador. Further study has shown that Benji has a brain infection that has been found in other bears, that makes them a bit dog-like in behavior, thus the habituation. Benji must be treated for this unique form of encephalitis for the rest of his life. He just turned 3 years old. The Humane Society has taken on the responsibility of providing veterinary care and a healthy habitat for him for the rest of his life. He is just one example of the work they do providing the best outcomes for all injured wildlife brought to them.

Last Chance

Diana and I will be walking tomorrow on our own. My Mom had an accident six weeks ago so she and Dolly won’t be joining us. I’ll take some photos of us on our walk and post them to our SD Humane page.  It’s Southern California. Since we’ll be sticking close to home mostly concrete so nothing very picturesque. But we shall walk proudly.
