STRAY PAWS	03.26.09

I haven’t posted anything on a personal level in a while but I feel that I need to try to reach as many people as possible with this. If you follow me on Facebook/Twitter, you probably know that we are looking to find a home for a small doggie we found. She has no microchip so we don’t know her name.  We’ve named her “Chica” for the time being. Someone must have abandoned this dog as she is older and not in the best condition. How can people do something like that? For some people it is easier to do that than to try to help. Candace and I have a major soft spot for things like that. These little guys have no way of communicating their pain so I feel that people like us need to stand up and do the talking for them.

This poor doggie may not have much time to live, she has some problems with her back legs and she is partially blind.  The vet thinks she is 12-15 years old. She sleeps most of the time. We would love to find someone that can take care of her. We already have 2 doggies and we can’t have another one but we will also not take her to a place that will put her down because of her condition. If you know someone that would consider taking a special needs pup, please contact Candace at candace at maloman.com. I want to thank my vet Dr. Loeser for donating her time by doing all kinds of test, shots, dental and more. Also want to thank Natalie who initially found the dog before we took her.

On a different note, this whole experience made me think about doing something for my community. I want to give back by offering my photography to the local Humane Society or a Doggie Rescue Organization and take pro images of those “stray paws”. I think that it will help finding a home faster if they have amazing images, similar to match.com, except you will not be disappointed when you meet them.

I need your help for a possible new photo blog for dogs. Please suggest a cool, funny, catchy name.  So far we have, Puparazzi, Pet Parazzi, Paw Parazzi, Stray Bullets, Stray Paws, Slobber Place. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Happy Birthday mom!

If you like dogs you may want to attend this tomorrow 3/27. Rescues Rock the Runway event at the Cabana One located at the Mayfair Hotel. We will be there. Come join us.

Update (3/27): We found a nice home for Chica. We are so happy that we were able to do that and help a small dogie find a home. The efforts have paid of. Thank you to everyone that has stepped up and helped.
