Long time no e-newsletter! Those of you who are not on Facebook or otherwise in contact haven't heard anything in months. Did you miss us?
 
This has been a busy, productive time, with two new Dog Pearls and more in the works, multiple new online social networking sites for Little Pearls (Web 2.0) and many irons in the fire.
   
This newsletter is packed FULL! Future updates will be short for awhile. I will have complex hand surgery July 1, so keep this e-mail for easy access to all the links.

Enjoy catching up, and Happy Summer!

The next two in this related set of Dog Pearls will be more playful, even funny, with working titles:
 
My New Best Friend: After losing his best friend Katie, our collie mix Mitch learns to love again with Gracie, even though she is twelve years younger. She turned him into a pup again!
   
 

So Many Dogs, So Little Time: Instead of resisting the fact that dogs, cats and other companion animals have shorter lives than we do, our Dog Stars want us to embrace the opportunity we humans have to love many
animals. 

They want us to keep loving and being loved, bringing new love into our lives when they can no longer stay with us. 

 

We just needed footage of a few more dogs for this fourth Pearl. With an abundance of willing and wonderful Dog Stars, we ended up filming 22 more dogs, plus some extra dog park pups, all in HD! 

  

Click on Our Dog Stars for a page chock full of 
profiles of all our dogs, with lots of photos and
bios in first person - well, really, first dog!

So... we have many great dogs, all captured already in high-quality footage, waiting to
become Dog Stars in new Pearls. That's where
YOU come in!

We need funding now to create the next two Pearls, and after that, a whole series related to adoptions and the benefits of bringing animals
into our lives. Please help us with a playful Do(g)nation - woof!!!
 


Little Pearls as an organization is not about
direct services. We know we cannot compete for funds appropriately given to meet basic needs,
for humans or for animals, and we know that the economy is rough now.
 
Our "tiny films" are about HEART. Our goal
for the Dog Pearls is to inspire deeper connection and compassionate action on behalf of dogs,
cats and all companion animals - and people - everywhere.

With enough funding,
we can create more Dog Pearls, all of which
will directly encourage adoptions and/or will 
offer lessons we humans can learn from our dog teachers. 

All animal welfare
organizations everywhere
can freely use these Pearls
in their own fundraising
and educational programs. 

We have created a photo-rich Do(g)nations page, so people and their dogs can have
fun supporting this work.  We have nine
giving levels and links for a new page at each level. 

YOU - and/or your dog, organization or business - can be listed on a linked page, with your own photos, message and links. Details are on the Do(g)nations page.
   
Weazie sez: Come
on, come on, please hurry & make your do(g)nation! 
Make me and ALL of us good dogs STARS!!!!!
