The Story aired wasn't expecting to put Pet of The Day to be on their. But everyone local knows about it now. I think Kristy Davis (which was the lady with channel 2) did such a good job on his Story she actually used some Photo's off of PetTalk. I Just cant believe it WOW!!!!! Mom did you see they used the video of him that you took? Showed him actually wagging his tail for the first time since all this happened. And remember PTer's the story broke because of everyone's presistance in this.
This is so cool. We are so lucky to see this all come to this point. Thanks again to everybody!!!
blue, I know it isn't easy coming up with anything family friendly for this thread. This can bring out the worst in anyone. Good job coming up with that great pinata party idea. I'll make the cupcakes for the party.
This is the News video that was played on channel 2 news http://www.wbrz.com/player/?video_id=3298
If it comes to it, if justice isnt served, I will risk the wrath of the Pirates of the Rubicon (the PBB) and enlist their help. I do not offer this lightly, google "charlie wenzel pirate". The PBB is full of dog lovers.Quote:

I think it was amazing!!!! Brought tears again... the amount of media that jumped on board amazes me. I am so glad people care...
Simply wonderful news story for such a sad situation.
Get Well soon, Johnny Walker!
Thank you for posting the news link! I'm so glad the community is so involved - it can only mean good things for Johnny. Get well soon sweetie!:love:
Thanks for the link, Kev. Our thoughts and prayers continue for JW. I spoke to a couple of friends yesterday, they are sending in donations today for Johnny and also the Johnny Walker Fund. PT'ers are nothing but absolutely amazing and loving people and pets. I love you all.

Some of you may have recieved an up date from Trish but I am going to post what she sent out incase some PTer's did not give their email addy so here's an update as of about midnight last night.
"Hello to all,
I wanted to provide everyone with the daily update on Johnny Walker.
I saw him before I left work around 7:45 pm.
He had just come in from taking a walk outside. His vital signs are stable. He is no longer on any IV fluids. He is on oral antibiotics. He is taking oral pain medication. He has been able to eat his pureed food today. He has a large bowl of water in his cage. He appeared alert and oriented. He looked like he was smiling. His tail wagged as I talked to him through the cage. His get well card is still on his cage. He wagged his tail so hard, it went into the water bowl!!!
It is amazing how trusting he is after what has happened to him. He was lying upright in his cage and seemed unaffected by any other sounds in the room (barking of other patients). He looks happier.
I will get an update on Saturday on him and again on Sunday and will notify everyone throughout the weekend. For now, things look good.
I did speak with Dr. Kergosien this am about him. He stated that he may need to pull two small teeth for him if his mouth does not align properly but not too bad for all that has happened. He will most likely be on soft food for quite some time per the doctor.
The clinic is able to get in touch with me after hours and all weekend if needed. All calls for donations over the weekend will result in the receptionist taking a message for me to return calls on Monday. He will be seen by one of our surgery doctors all weekend.
Will keep in touch!
Trish"
Poor Trish has been going around nonstop takeing Donations, chacking with the Dr, and giving updates to anyone calling for and update on Johnny Walker. Trish thank you so much for everything you have and will continue to do for Johnny.
Sorry Moon I have been so busy trying to get Johnny Walkers story out there. I somehow missed this post. Can you tell Lucy Girlypants we said thank you and let them know Johnny will Love it.Quote:

It was great to see Kevlin and Jason too. Cute guys :)
I was going through WBRZ website and found the story and video feed this morning and Trish your name and office number is there. For anyone who wants to view it heres the link
http://www.wbrz.com/news/teens-beat-...-baseball-bat/
above the pic click video and you can watch the story.
Trish is one awesome lady!!!
LOL! Trish better get ready for round two! I have posted it on another animal sight I go to and already had one poster ask for contact information on how to make a donation.
Wish I had time to relearn how to make one of those buttons with the picture that you click on to take you where to make donations.. Took me awhile to learn how to do it and haven't done it in a very long time.. Something we could all use in our siggies everywhere. Anybody else know how to do that?
Mel, I hope someday we can meet since we are that close!
PET TALK HAS TO BE THE HOTTEST WEB SIGHT ON THE WEB RIGHT NOW!
PET TALK RULES!
Kev, thanks for posting Trish's update! Next time you talk to her, tell her to change that email of mine to eldecook707.. can't believe I forgot to ad that 707 to it! (a senior moment I'm sure)
Trish, I think it's time you hire me to be your secretary.:) :) :)
I am again so touched by the power of Pet Talk. I am suffering from major LES this morning, and I am so proud to know you all. This thread only serves to prove how wonderful everyone here is. I rememeber how blessed I was when Bassett was sick, and the help I received, and it makes my heart swell to see it happening again.
Thank you all so much for this amazing community! :love::love::love:
When this is done, Trish needs 3 days off with pay! What a lady! And what great news on Jonny! :D:love:
Yup - I saw mine and Sandie's too - can't NOT recognize those siggys! I told my guys they were on t.v. in LA - for a second anyway....:pQuote:

Keep up the good work Jonny! Gentle hugs coming from us here in hot Delaware. :love:
We are still pulling for you, Jonny Walker! Keep eating up the good food, and wagging that tail!
We were away on vacation this week, so I could not get to Pet Talk, but I have been following Jonny Walker's story as much as I could on Facebook. What an amazing thing you all have done. This is the kind of stuff that makes Pet Talk what it is. WELL DONE PET TALK!!!!
I'm an insurance nurse so I just have to make a comment on this from my perspective ... if Jonny were a human patient, he would probably have an HMO with somebody like me bugging his doctor about his discharge! :rolleyes:Quote:

PTers, you ROCK! Jonny, please keep drinking your water and eating your pureed food, and wagging your tail! We don't want any post-op complications for you! gentle *kiss* for you
Aww...Jonny even has his own PT nurse :) Thanks Elyse.
Hi Everyone
If anyone is interested in becoming an EARS (EMERGENCY ANIMAL RESCUE SERVICES) VOLUNTEER it's easy. If you go to UNITED ANIMAL NATIONS WEBSITE www.uan.org it will tell u when the next training class will be. I went down to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to attend the workshop. Once you attend the all day workshop (it was one day when I went) you are certified and then you can sign up to be deployed to help with emergencies.
I live in Denham Springs, I think it would be great if we could meet and have a celebration (get together) to say THANKS to everyone.
I have raised money for shelters by holding raffles and collecting supplies. I am willing to help in any way I can.
If anyone wants any more information about EARS, you can contact me at
[email protected]
I forgot to stated that UNITED ANIMAL NATIONS does have a program to help with medical bills in animal emergencies.
www.uan.org
And I was on the other end for 10 years. I worked as an RN in Home Health and kept fighting insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid to please help. You and I may have negotiated in the past, lol. Please be assured that JW has 3 homes, and WILL be protected. These kids had no right to lure him off of my porch. They were not even on their own property when they did this. Anyway, we still have lots of work to do, as JW also in getting healthy again. Geeeeezzzz, Laura was right when she said this must be the most popular web site on the www. And WE, THE PT'ers do ROCK. I have never met such a beautiful bunch of people and pets in my life. Again, GOD BLESS!Quote:

I will be on the radio in Florida tomorrow, and will tell folks the Jonny Walker story then - see the thread over in Town Hall if you want to listen in!
We went to visit my wifes mom today and when we left she stated "I want to go visit Johnny." So guess where we went? Yes we visited Johnny Walker today. He was in good Sprits and was glad to see some familiar faces. I am telling you this because when I get these pictures uploaded from the i-phone he had a message for everyone that sent him Huggs and Kisses.
This picture is for everyone who sent me Kisses

This is for everyone who has sent Huggs and belly rubs

Awww, bellyrubs for that spotted tummy!
He looks fantastic!!! Still praying for you day and night, Jonny. You are a big ole sweetheart!! Adorable is putting it mildly. I love that happy smile with you on your back.
Thanks Kev. You are quite a man. I know your Mom is super proud of you and she has every reason to be. Keep up the great work!!! We love you for keeping us informed.:)
I can not get over how much better he looks in these pictures. The spark is in his eyes, he looks HAPPY and seems to be smiling at us. He looks like a normal dog again! These are adoreable pictures Kevlin.. Looks like he has had a Hollywood makeover! :love:***GO JOHNNY GO!***:love:
I too am sitting her in Tears.
I can't say that we are awesome but I only was able to send love and prayers and good thoughts but each and every single person that sent any kind of help IS awesome!
I am PROUD to be a member of PT!
Nice to "see" you Kevlin!!
