George was orphaned at an early age. Homeless, really, he was discovered near the home of Robin P., a Keeseville NY resident in November 2001. Robin told her friend Andrea K., a knowledgable dog person about the pup and asked for her help. Well Andrea drives a school bus for AuSable Valley Central School and so she gets to know quite a few people around town. One of them was Steve L., another Keeseville resident, who Andrea thought might just be looking for a pet like that. Andrea was right. Steve went to Robin's house, found the dog and took him home. He named the dog, George. (CLICK HERE for 7 photos of George with Andrea, George's godmother, sort of.)
George found a nice home at Steve's and became a member of the family right away. Steve took good care of George and had his needs attended to at the Vet. George proved to be very affectionate, really an oversized lapdog. Steve took George for walks in the woods, and George loved to just run and run. George spent a very Merry Christmas at Steve's. (CLICK HERE for 3 photos of George with Steve, George's first Dad plus CLICK HERE for 2 letters that show Steve's concern for George's welfare.)
Problems came up, sometime around March, when Steve's business got very busy and he found he just couldn't take good care of George. Steve felt bad because George was just cooped up inside all the time and couldn't get out to run and play like a dog should. He contacted Kelly at the SPCA in nearby Peru NY. Kelly said she could find George a real good home. On Tuesday, March 11, Steve brought George to Kelly for adoption. He brought along a 10 cans of Nutricaire Dog Food, so George wouldn't have to change his diet intil he found a new home.

Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
