Now more than ever, you are needed to donate your old blankets, towels, and sheets to your local animal shelter. With financial cut-backs, repairs on shelters are often put off, so if it's drafty, the animals suffer. I know my shelter uses rags to stuff under doors. No kidding! Empty out those closets... this is your chance to get rid of stuff and do something useful!

Dog Abuse Must Stop

I'm really seeing an untick in abuse of dogs, or else it's an uptick in the reporting. Either way, it's time we all start making noise about it to our local legislators and demand and expect that punishments start getting a lot stiffer. I would love to see citizens start picketing the homes of folks that do stuff like this.

Animal control officials said the dog was malnourished and 15 pounds underweight. According to the warrant filed against Erby, the dog had a skin infection which went untreated and developed into demodectic mange. She was too weak to raise her head or walk, the warrant stated. In addition, officials said motor oil had been poured all over the dog's coat.

"They said they were treating her mange with motor oil which is an old wives tail," said Gina Pratt, one of the rescuers from the Animal Adoption League in Rock Hill.
They washed Hope three times to remove the motor oil from her coat.
The accused: 42-year-old Karen Erby, of Rock Hill, South Carolina.
