Helping Jonny Walker

[Daisy and Delilah]

I can't wait to see the homecoming pictures!! It's so awesome. Thanks Trish and everybody for doing such a great job. Don't we all know this little guy is gonna be as happy as can be to be going home and living the Life of Riley!!

Can you do that write to the judge,?because if so i would be more than happy to do so, maybe seeing that someone from the other side of the world cares, might help a bit more and have more impact to make sure these monsters, aka as children, be punished for this horrific cruelty, please let me know, i am ready to put pen to paper, or fingers to the keyboard.

Carole, we don't even know yet who or where the judge and trial will be. I will make sure we stay updated, and if there's a time when letter-writing will be allowed, I'll certainly let everyone know!

[Laura's Babies]

With it being kids involved, I wonder if they will even let the public know when this is due to go to trial and would it be a closed court room when it does?

It is bittersweet that I post this final update from the Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center this evening. Johnny Walker will be going home tomorrow at 12:00 noon. All of our staff are sad to see him go however at the same time, we are thrilled that he will be with his family and for the outcome that has been achieved thus far.

The accounting update is as follows:
There were a total of 50 donors as of this pm.
The total charges as of this pm were: $4,504.01.
The total donations as of this pm were: $4,300.00.
The difference is only $204.01 as of tonight. I suspect we may receive that in checks that may already be in the mail.
Anyone who sends in any donations once this bill is closed and paid in full, will be contacted to see if they want their donation returned or do they want to place it on this account for the follow up heartworm treatment. I will keep a very detailed account of this and have done so with all donations, even timing the donations for each day of the week so if we had to return donations, I would know at what point the bill was covered.

It has been a real pleasure being a part of the pettalk.com network over the past few weeks. This experience in working with all of you and speaking with you by phone has been something I will never forget. The amount of compassion and dedication that I witnessed from so many people who generally do not know each other has been an experience that I could not ever have imagined. It is just amazing how much can be accomplished by a concerted effort and persistent dedication. You are all to be commended for coming together so quickly and so strongly to make this all happen.

On behalf of the Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center in Mandeville, LA, we again would like to thank all of you for your support in many ways (calls, prayers, letters, emails, postings and donations). Everyone contributed in some way to this cause and looking at Johnny, I am sure he is smiling and saying "thank you" as well.

Warmest regards,

Trish

Trish, if every organization had someone like you working with them, every business, etc...would flourish. Can you go work for BP? hahahaha.

[Karen]

You're welcome, Trish, and we hope you will still stop in now and then, after all, I suspect you have a pet or two of your own to talk about, when the crisis is over! And thanks again for all the hard work you have done, you have been very gracious about the whole thing!

I will be on the radio Friday evening and will be telling Jonny Walkers story to a whole new bunch of people, as everyone should know, and abuse should never be tolerated! I know the station reaches into Louisiana, but I don't think it goes as far south as you are.

[Pinot's Mom]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Trish and all of you who helped Johnny!!

Sweet Johnny, I know you have a homecoming party (probably going on as I type), and you're busy, but please have your humans check in with us on occasion! We love you!!
