Outside fun time!

 Hello and woofs!  Reesie Cup here!  Mommy took some photos of us outside today in the beautiful sunshine!  So, my Siberian sister and I wanted to share dem wif woo!  Yes, I am the bootiful chocolate one.

 I do like to sniff around.  I had my surgery 2 weeks ago (spay) and today is the first day Mommy has let me outside to run.  She is overprotective!

 Here is my Siberian sister, Mya Boo Boo.  She is da boss...at least in her mind!  Woofs woofs!  But, she is not too bad. Mostly.

 

 My kitty sister Salem was very interested in our outside time. 

 So, she followed Mommy into the laundry room, where Mommy takes pictures out of an open window.

 So, Mommy held Salem in her arms and let her sniff out the window.  I thinks Salem wanted to jump out and do more than sniff!

  Sorry Salem!  Woo cannot jump out da window!!!!

 Finally, here is CoCo.  She has to go out separately from Mya Boo Boo cause dey do not get along...at all.  But, she wuvs me!  And I wuvs her too!  She barks a lot...and has real mean looking teeths.  So I is glad she wuvs me!

 
Well, dats it for me friends!  I plan on spending my night snuggling with my hooman brudder.   He is my bestest friend!  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Wuvs, 
Reesie Cup and the entire Painter Pack

Hanging out with the Chocolate girl!

 Hello everyone!  The Pack mom here again!  We have spent this beautiful fall day hanging out inside with our Chocolate girl, Reesie-Cup. She is recovering great from her spay surgery this past Wednesday!  

 She may look like she's not full of energy, but she is!  Oh yes, she is!

 Just ask Sophia!  She will tell you just how rambunctious that chocolate tail can be!

 *****Crickets******

 Reesie:  "I think I will take a nap now...got to save my energy for tomorrow!"

Mya Boo Boo:  "Trust me...nothing wrong with that labra-dork!  But, she's milking it for all it's worth!  Smart dork!"

*****************************************************
Now for the "other" stuff.  

Please, remember that we are on the brink of being homeless.  Long story short, I lost my job in March 2014.  I thought I had more than 6 months of unemployment.  But I found out the second week of September, that it was ending on the 30th of that month.  Thanks to our wonderful friends, we have raised enough money to stay through October.  However, we haven't raised any money for November.  And our landlord has said that we cannot be late or short on rent.  It is due by the 3rd each month.

It is just me, my son (age 22) and pets.  My son has been desperately looking for a job since April with no luck.  As for me, I lost my job due to health issues.  I have applied for disability, thinking I'd have a year to 18 months of unemployment.  Now, I've still not had a decision on my disability, and probably won't for another 2 months.  So, I either have to try and find a job that I can do, or my son has to find a good, full time job.  

I am begging my friends to share our need, through our GoFundMe page at 

http://www.gofundme.com/eoynbg

We understand that everyone is struggling in one way or another.  But please, if you can, share our need on your FB or Google+ pages.  It may help us.  Otherwise, without rent on November 3rd, we will be homeless within 7 days (which is Georgia law).

My son has a PayPal account under koovawolf@hotmail.com if needed.

So, thank you for your shares and prayers.   They are all appreciated more than you can know.

Spay Day and our continued Need!

 Happy Saturday!  

Reesie-Cup, our chocolate girl, had her spay day on Wednesday!  She came through with flying colors!  There was a moment of concern for the doctor...Reesie bled a lot.  So, the vet gave her a vitamin K shot.  But, she is doing great now.  There are pain meds and lots of treats!

 We had an unusual experience at the vet's office.  We were dropping Reesie off at 7:30...we got there at 7:10 and walked through the unlocked door.  Only, no one was there.

We sat down to wait, and then the burglar alarm started going off!!  I called out "Hello", hoping that someone from the staff would answer me.  They did not.  So, we turned around and walked out the door!

I've seen too many movies...I wasn't going to wait around to find the "body" in the back.  When the tech finally arrived at 7:25, the alarm had finally stopped.  We informed her...so she could be careful going through the clinic.  No bodies!

Funny thing...the police finally showed up at 7:45...a good 35 minutes after the alarm started going off. So much for our tax dollars at work!

So, that is our excitement for the month!  Done!  Over!

 Now, for our continued need. Thanks to all our wonderful friends--and many strangers--the Pack will be able to stay in our home through October.  However, there are no funds for November.  We are desperately looking for jobs, but nothing has happened yet.  

So please...do not forget to share and pray for us.  We cannot do this alone.  I do not want to end up on the streets with my beautiful pets.  I would have to give up my 2 cats...and I have no new fosters lined up as of now.  

All the info is located below.  Please, if you have questions or even suggestions or encouragement, email me or PM me on Facebook.

We have also set up an Amazon Wish List here:

Thank you all so much for your continued support.  It is keeping this family together.

The Pack is still in need!! Please help!

 Happy Autumn friends!  

This is our last weekend of September.  For us, it is a critical time.  We need to have enough money raised to stay in our rental home through the month of October...

 Or we will be homeless.

I want to thank everyone who has given, shared, and prayed.  This has given us a lifeline that we wouldn't have had if it were not for such amazing friends.

 But the need isn't over. 

Once we pay our October bills, we will need to start coming up with November.  

During this time, it allows us to search for jobs.  Once we have employment, things will become more stable.

 Our biggest danger isn't living in a box on the side of the street...

It's having to get rid of our fur-kids.  They are my babies.  Since March, when I lost my job, I've re-homed 4 and lost 1 to cancer.  

I cannot live and lose any more.

 I can live in a tent or in a box, as long as I have my babies.  But I can't safely and securely live like that with 3 dogs and 2 cats.  It wouldn't be safe for them.  

CoCo (above) is 10 years old.  She couldn't be re-homed even if I were willing.  She is not friendly with other dogs.

Mya Boo Boo is fearful of people.  She's been this way since we got her.  She will be 8 years old in December. 

 

Then we have the cats.  I refuse to re-home a black cat right before Halloween.  

And my other kitty isn't friendly either.  

Sounds like I have a lot of anti-social pets! 

Please, if you can help, we would greatly appreciate it!

If not, I understand.  Times are tough for everyone.  So please, share our request and send prayers our way...good thoughts and some encouragement.

Again, thank everyone for their kindness.  I am so blessed to have such great blogging friends.  You have shown me love and helped to lift my failing spirits.

Cat foster might be needed!!!

 Hi friends!!!  It is a perfectly wonderful FALL day here in Georgia!  The sun is shinning!  It is crisp and beautiful!

Of course, some cats are napping!!!

These are my two baby kitties...Sophie (white) who is 4 1/2 and Salem (black) who is 3.

I thought I had a foster lined up for them, in the even that we lost our home.  But now, I do not.  And if we do end up homeless, I cannot have my kitty babies with me.  :( 

 They are both spoiled rotten.  Complete inside cats.

So, if you know of someone in the Chattanooga, TN area who could take them for a few months (if we lose our home), I would greatly appreciate it.

Please...if you can, please share our urgent need.  We are close to having enough money to stay in our home through October.  This will allow us to continue searching for employment.

Everyone has permission to share this on their blogs, FB...anywhere.  We are in such a dire need.

Thank you so much to all my friends!  The prayers and encouragement are lifesavers.

The Pack is still in need.

 Here are some photos of our pack relaxing.  At night, during T.V. time, they pile around me.  The only one not here is CoCo and that is because she and Mya do not get along.  We are working on that!

 We are still looking at being homeless.  I checked into Section 8 housing...but there is a 2 YEAR wait!  I understand, now, why there are so many homeless people in America. 

 Some people have asked me about a PayPal account.  Yes, my son has one at koovawolf@hotmail.com.  His name is Nick Painter.

 Begging is not easy.  But, look at these faces.  I have given up all the pets that I can...since March--after losing my job--I re-homed 2 huskies, 1 border collie, 1 lab mix...and of course we lost our Jack to cancer in June.

Of course, if we are living on the street, we won't be able to have the kitties with us.  I am hoping my BFF will let them live in her basement (with her 2 cats) until we can find a new home.

I thank all those who have given.  I know that everyone is hurting right now.  

I also thank all those who have sent prayers and encouraging thoughts and emails.  It does help.  Really.
 

 Finally, just please continue to share.  Maybe someone who is truly able to give will see it and do so.  It has happened before.

The pack thanks you.  I thank you...from the bottom of my heart.

A Pack in Need

Thank you to all my friends who have sent encouraging messages and prayers.  It is so appreciated.

At this point, we are still in desperate need.  We have had a few contributions, but we are still far from the goal.  This goal is exactly what we need to stay in our home until the end of December.  It includes rent, utilities, and other bills.  If we can manage to find jobs, then we will have a chance to get back on our feet.  I am educated and held a good job for almost 25 years.  I shouldn't have a problem finding work.  Anything.  My son is young, but he is smart and able to work anything as well.

The main goal is to keep our pets.  Four dogs and two cats.  I have no family, except my son and these babies.  They are all I have.

So, please, if you would please share our GoFundMe page.  You can read more of our story and see more pictures of the babies that I love so much.

Thank you.  The dog blog community is truly a family of people with huge hearts and loving arms.  I am blessed.

Sherri and the Pack!

The Pack needs help

 Friends, please take a moment to view our GoFundMe site.  The Painter Pack is in a very serious situation and we are asking for help.  If you cannot help financially, please share our need, and pray for us. 

Thank you all so much for all the years of love and laughter.
