This would be a classic example. Anry is back with more PROSH DEVASTATION. Go.

“Here are some pics of Kikuma’s daughter, Saya. She started off as an itty bitty thing that shadowed her daddy everywhere. When she turned one year old, she decided to strengthen her independence by moving out to live in a cheese. Have a great week and keep up the wonderful work!”

“PS: The biggest reason I bought Kikuma and Rinka from Alabama USA instead of locally (Hong Kong) is because of puppy mills. After visiting all 5 ‘famous’ local breeders it was horrifying to find their kennels were in appalling conditions and the dogs in poor health. It took a year of research to get to my breeder, Ms. Hansman, who lives half the world away.”

Get Well Soon, Oliver Donovan

You might recall Oly D. from October 2011. It seems that O-Man is feeling rather poorly..check his FB page for the complete word. An excerpt from the 29th:

“This is Oliver’s mom, Jillian D. I took Oliver to the emergency clinic at noon today. He started breathing pretty heavy last night. He is in congestive heart failure right now, though- he seemed good this morning, but around 11:30, he started breathing heavier again and by the time we got there, it was pretty bad.”

Here’s how to help with Oliver’s medical costs.
