Easter, the ressurection, here's the photos I promised:

Saving Bella and Buddy was gut wrenching, intense, expensive, heart stopping at times as we watched these little babies transform to what they now are. They are not out of the woods. Bella has an ear infection but she's doing well. When she was found, she was 8 weeks old and starving, she was in a stupor from her skull injury and lethargic for weeks. The vet couldn't tell us if she would live. We were able to save her thanks to the good will at FB and a few kind people who chipped in to help. Buddy is growing like a weed. When found, Little Buddy was 3 weeks old and only 2 lbs. Ed went on a vigil to save him using Esbilac, Royal Canin dog food, feeding him finger tip by finger tip of food at times. Buddy needed antibiotic, 2 meds for 2 different parasites, and had a couple of very deep puncture would from being bitten right over the eyes, neck and backside. He couldn't take to the bottle and Ed struggled. I might add that Ed was a total novice in all of this but he did his research and he saved Buddy. Buddy is psychologically damaged as he whines whenever Ed is out of his site. Let no good deed go unpunished...Ed now has no place to go because of the Hurricane and the damage to his place which was flooded. It's been suggested that he give the puppies up, but he refuses. He loves them, he wants them and he needs help. Ed is a gifted craftsman and he is seeking someone who can barter with him. He needs a space for him and the puppies in exchange for new walls, new bathroom, new tile (see his work at www.dukeoftrades.blogspot.com), whatever. He needs an animal lover who, too, was damaged by the storm to help him help them so everyone can help each other. Here are some photographs taken yesterday of 2 very happy, well cared for puppies and their "daddy" who saved them. There is some question in our mind as to whether it was Buddy and Bella who saved Ed. Classic win-wins work like that, everyone comes out a winner. Does some home owner with space need repair, renovations, remodeling, refreshing, painting, ceramic tile, new walls, an additional bathroom and want to come out a winner too? As we've said, Saving Bella will be an e-book so anyone who steps up to the plate will share the glory of animal rescue and create happy news in a world that needs some. In the past Ed has made quite a bit of money in antique car restoring and building, repair and renovation. We are hoping that someone in NJ, CT or, especially, here on Long Island will help us save this family of three. Could you pass the word? Can you think of anyway to help? Is there anyone who needs help that Ed can barter with? Please think about who you know who needs some help but has space. Ed can provide masterful, old world craftsmanship in exchange for a place to stay for a short time. Thank you so much and Happy Easter...shall it be one of resurrection?
