Julie, I too have wondered about Hope, and the others. I know your life is busy with all of your rescue work, plus just everyday responsibilities. Just wanted you to know we are all thinking about you and Hope and the others. "Hope" you can update us soon.

Hey Everybody!! I haven't forgotten any of you! All is going well just EXTREMELY busy!!! Hope is doing well and is now on the "chunky"side. Now that is "unbelieveable"!! She is having so much fun exploring everything and loves to go for rides in the car and look out the window. She is a true joy and every day that I have her is a miracle! Sugar has improved and is now eating well and not so shy. She follows me everywhere from the time I get home until I go to bed and when I wake up she is right there. I had her at the vet and he says she is in pretty good health and figures she is at least 10 years old. I will have to watch her closely for new lumps that could be a sign of the cancer returning. So everyday I check her and Hope for new lumps and bumps. They think it is a game! Rescue work continues to be busy and is rather slow for adoptions right now so we have alot of animals. Hopefully things will pick up soon. I am working on a new project right now that would help at risk teens by having them help take care of shelter animals. A couple of friends of mine are refurbishing a warehouse with the back of the warehouse being for the animals and the front of the warehouse for the kids. We will be doing several projects to incorporate the kids and animals. If all goes well it will be a great for the community and most of all great for the kids and animals. I hope it will stop the circle of violence between kids and animals. As you all know, it starts with abusing animals and then goes to spouses. significant others and children. So never a dull moment and more than enough to do. But the greatest thing is I love it!! There are many people out there with the same goals and hopefully more people will get involved to help the animals and children. Hope all of you are well. I have not had much time to read up on other topics. Be sure and look up all of my dogs at:

**kobieeli** · 02-09-2002, 02:24 PM

So glad to hear that you're still out there performing miracles, Julie! And the "Christmas Hope" photo in your webshots album is wonderful. Hope looks like such a happy girl...

**tatsxxx11** · 02-09-2002, 05:58 PM

Dear Julie, thank you so much for taking the time out to update us. What great news you bring! Your album brought tears to my eyes. What gorgeous puppies. I can't believe how great Hope looks, especially all decked out in her reindeer gear! Each and every one of them is so precious. What a great pic. of Tripod!! Now that's what I call a "stuffie!"

You are truly an angel! I wish you all the best with your extra special new project! It sounds SO hopeful!! Please give all the "kids" hugs and kisses!! Love, Sandra, Cody and Star

**DOGRESQ** · 02-09-2002, 11:04 PM

Good to here from all of you and glad you liked the pictures!!!
Hope is such a ham and loves the camera!!!
Kfamr- Tripod, Turbo and Medusa are all pit bulls and are big babies!! Tripod loves laying on her lion bed ( not that she's spoiled or anything!) They are quite a crew and make everyday worth living. Again, thanks to all of you for all of your support of the past several months and Hope sends a slurpy kiss!!

**Dixieland Dancer** · 02-10-2002, 06:39 AM

Julie, Thanks for the update. Hope is an absolutely georgeous, transformed miralce. It was great to watch the transformation via the cyber channel of Pet Talk! Good Luck on your new project!

**mugsy** · 02-11-2002, 11:58 AM

Oh yeah!!!! I'm sooo glad everyone is doing well. Hope is just too darn cute. Thanks for sharing with us!! Keep in touch.

Hi Everybody!

Haven't talked to all of you in a while and I wanted to let you know how Hope was doing. She went in for her 6 month check up after her eye surgery and she is still doing exceptionally well!! Her eye doctor is still amazed at how well she has done. She has become the best dog and has a very funny personality! And get this!!! Hope has to go on a diet! She now weighs 70 pounds!! That is 43 more pounds than when we found her. She is a little chunky but not really overweight and she looks fabulous! We have to keep her weight under control becuase of her diabetes. Eventhough she is 12 years old I hope I have her for a long time. I will have to catch up on all of the "pet talk". The rescue business is always busy and especially recently due to the fire in one of our close communities. I think of all of you often and again very much appreciate all of your support with Hope. Talk to you soon!
