Dear Friends and Family,
Summer is definitely here! For a couple of weeks, it was over 100 degrees here in Atlanta. We rarely get that hot even though the city is nicknamed "Hotlanta".
As a follow-up to my last newsletter, many media outlets have now posted my helpful lost pet tips on their sites.
If the tips that I've shared help even one missing animal to be reunited with their families, then I consider that to be a success.
I have provided links to the articles on my web site's News Articles page along with other articles which have been written about me recently.
Have a great summer! |

In Memory of My Furry Boy,
Buzz
December 1, 2002 - May 23, 2012
I am dedicating this issue of my newsletter to my schnauzer, Buzz, who went to the Rainbow Bridge at the end of May.
He joins his brother, Woody, who passed away 2 years ago.
If there was one word my wife and I would use to describe Buzz it was "joy". No matter what he was dealing with on a daily basis with his many health challenges, he was always happy, always wanted to play and loved being with us.
At 1:00 PM every afternoon, he'd come into my home office, sit down and stare at me until I recognized him. I'd look at him, knowing exactly what he wanted, and would ask him, "Do you want to go to the park?" He'd let out one little bark and then head for the door.
When we got to the park, I'd put his leash on him, get him out of the car and we'd both take off running up the slight hill. All the way up the hill, he'd let out these very soft little "barks" of excitement.
He really loved this time of day and so did I!
My wife and I will always have a special place in our hearts for Buzz and cherish the memories of the many ways he expressed his joyfulness with us on a daily basis. |

Sketches of "My Furry Boys" by Suzie Treachler
I was introduced to Suzie Treachler earlier this year. She is a very talented artist!
When I first saw her sketches of animals on her Facebook page, my first thought was how wonderfully she captured the essence of the subjects she had sketched.
When Buzz passed away, my wife and I thought it would be great to have Suzie do a sketch of both Buzz and Woody.
As you can see from Buzz's sketch above and Woody's sketch below, Suzie did a fantastic job!
To contact Suzie for a sketch of your beloved pets, you can
e-mail her at sketchshoppe@gmail.com
