SHORTY WAS ADOPTED!Below is the update from his new owner.The additional $10,998.63 donated will be used to fundher continuing rehab.

HELLO MAXFUND,

Shortround (formerly Shorty) is doing fantastic! She isso smart and curious and learning so much! Most ofher day is spent playing with my Boxer and Beagle, orchewing on toys, furniture or my shoes until she gets tiredand takes a nap. She is learning that furniture is a definite'no, no' and shoes are a close second. She loves going forwalks and getting loved up (of course, you probably alreadyknew that). She is also quite the licker. She licks my feetclean almost every night before we stretch.

We have gotten into a routine of heading outside to lether do her business, and we are making some progress.She still wears a diaper inside and has gotten much betterabout letting me secure it to her before taking off afterthe other girls.

She loves meeting all of the new people who come to seeher, and the feeling seems to be mutual. My 12 year oldniece says that she wants to steal her every time she comesto visit. She has started to get quite protective as well. Shebarks at the dogs next door, as well as people who pass bythe front. But, she sure is an added light to my life.

As I experiment with how to do things with her and whatworks best, I feel as though we are figuring things outfairly nicely. She is so patient with me and excited to try new things.

The other day, she started whining when I ran upstairs tograb some lunch and it made me so happy to know that shewas used to her new home and me well enough to whineand say "Mom, come back!"

FROM THE WORLD OF GUSBy Gus Suro

I am going to tell you something today that I have nottold anyone. It’s a little embarrassing. Although Mom hasa really important job with the MaxFund, at home she isa really slow learner. Mom has seen Gypsy and me solvethe problem of what to do when you have gotten yourselftotally soaking wet. She has seen this many, many times.

I had assumed that she learned that all you have to dois to loosen up your body skin while violently shakingyourself all over. In less than a minute 90% of thewater is gone.

Some time ago I happened to come into the bathroom whenMom was coming out of the shower soaking wet. I stoodright in front of her and started shaking myself, doing aperfect imitation of a dog shaking himself dry. She juststood there laughing at me. Can you imagine that?

Last week Gypsy and I went to meet her at the frontdoor as we always do when Mom come home from thecar. This time Mom had gotten caught in the thunderstorm,and water was running off of her in all directions. So Istepped in front of Gypsy and once again demonstratedhow to shake yourself dry.

I don’t think she really understood this time either. Whatmore can I do?

Hello! It’s me again.

I finally got to camp in a great place to view the “wild life” this year. There were a few rabbits and lots and lots of robins.Because of the rain, I had to do most of my viewing through the window over the couch where my couch cushion sits ona riser. Usually I sit on the top step and look out the screen door unless it is too hot and Mom and Dad want to run theair conditioner. Then it is back up to my cushion perch. The man camping next to us came over and said that earlier inthe morning one of the rabbits came over and was looking at the “Welcome” sign Mom had put out. He said it was reallyfunny to watch because the rabbit came over to the sign, sat up and looked it all over, sat back down and munched someclover, sat back up and looked at the sign all over again. There just never seems to be a camera around when you need one.

Mom and Dad are on a walking kick. They say it is good for them. There is a lake on the RV property and it has a walking/biking path around it, so they went to check it out. On the way to the path there were clumps of white stuff all over theground and Mom called it” summer snow”. It really is just cotton from all the trees in and around the campground.There is so much cotton that when the wind blows it does look like it is snowing, without the cold. She took lots of pic-tures so she could send them to her sister is Florida. I think cotton snow is the type to have, I could play in it all day ifI wanted to and not get cold or wet. Mom said that on the walk there was a young pine tree that was covered in thecotton and it looked as though it was decorated and ready for Christmas. Come to think of it, I never thought of any-thing but 2 and 4 leggers as being young or old. I guess you could say I learned something new today.

Today Mom is putting out the summer things in our window well. She had taken the winter things out when Springstarted but was waiting for warmer weather to put out the rest. Well, Gizmo just hates it when she changes things in hiswindow well. The way he acts you would think that the summer things were going to bite him or maybe even eat him.The goofus… they are the same things that were out last year except for the flag and it just barely moves because there isvery little breeze down there. Sometimes Gizmo is just plain funny and I love to sit back and watch him.

Guess that’s all for now. Your Cat Reporter, Snoopy

DOUBLE OR NOTHINGAnd give the cats and kittens more room, and more fun.That’s the deal. The ELPomar Foundation will considermatching the MaxFund’s $15,000 if we can match withdonations dedicated to this project. What a gift! Andwhat a project!

We will be able to build onto the cat shelter 4 moreindoor living/play areas so that we can maximize thenumber of cats we can save and find homes for AND letthem play in outdoor pens when the weather allows.

This one time offer will be given to the MaxFund if allof you can contribute $15,000 by August 20. We can dothis! We have raised similar amounts of money beforewhen a dog has needed some procedure or surgery thatwas beyond the MaxFund’s budget (see article onShorty). Could it be that dog lovers are willing to rise tothe occasion but that cat lovers really don’t care?

In the words of tennis player, John McEnroe: “YOUCAN’T BE SERIOUS!”

Send checks of any amount to MaxFund at 720 W. 10thAvenue, Denver, Colorado 80204. Put CAT SPACE inthe memo so that the donation will count for the drive.Or you can do it online by getting on our website atmaxfund.org and clicking on “Donate Now.” Don’t letthis opportunity go to nothing!

MILLI, THE MYSTERY DOGMilli was brought to the MaxFund Wellness Center onthe first of June because she was not eating or defecat-ing, was often nauseous, and now was acting weak andsickly. She had been to her regular veterinarian and theirsymptomatic treatments were not helping.

The owner knew that Milli needed a diagnosis, probablysomething major to fix whatever the problem was, andwas out of money from previous visits to the neighbor-hood vet. She asked if she could relinquish Milli so Millicould receive proper medical care. We, of course, agreed.

Enter, Miss Milli, a bright-eyed, monkey-faced, 15 lbunsprayed female dog with an estimated age of eight toten years, and an estimated ancestry of a Pekinese/Pomeranian mix with a dry somewhat moth-eaten hair coat.

Lab work showed some kind of inflammatory conditionand a low thyroid output, x-rays showed a roundish for-eign body almost totally blocking the esophagus beforeit empties into the stomach. No wonder, she wouldn’teat, was nauseous, and was making almost no stool.And, of course, she was getting weak and feeling rotten.

We immediately referred Milli to VRCC, and emergencyclinic who had a special scope to look down from themouth to the object, identify it, and make sure that theesophagus was not punctured. Then with another specialinstrument they were able to grasp the object and bringit out through the mouth (under anesthesia of course).The object turned out to be the end of a beef bone.

Milli has recovered at theWellness Clinicand is now avery bright andactive sweetie,spayed andhealthy andlooking for herforever home.

Dear MaxFund,

Thought you might enjoy this photo of Monty playing.He has adjusted very well and is bringing much joy tomy home.

Thank you maxfund for all you do.Lyn Lofflin, Monty and buddy

Hi MaxFund!

We renamed Chiquita to "Lucy" & she is doing great!We cannot imagine our family without her & arethankful everyday that we get to be her forever family!Lucy LOVES belly rubs, chew bones, playing with hertoys, walks to the park down the street & more bellyrubs. She always rolls herself on her back & shows usher tummy for rubs. She loves being cradled like a babyin our arms while we rub her belly. She actually wrapsher paws around our hands & hugs us when we cradleher on her back & rub her neck/belly. She is the snug-gliest dog ever haha. Lucy likes to snuggle with ourother dog, Lucky, at night in bed & they are alwayssnuggling near each other on the sofa throughout the

day. Lucy is a little slow to warm to friends who comeover but eventually gives into belly rubs & then demandsto be held by them haha. Such a sweet lil baby!

Thanks for all you do to help put amazing dogs andloving families together! We couldn't be happier withour lil Lucy.

Hello MaxFund,

Happy - now known as Frieda - has settled in so well inher new home. She had a little bit of kennel cough duringher first week but we went over to the Maxfund clinicand they took care of her for free! So great. She comesto work with me and has lots of fun playing with myco-worker's dog and getting loved on by our employeeswho have developmental disabilities. On the weekendswe've been having lots of fun together - hiking, dogparks, swimming, etc. Frieda loves it all! We justsigned up for classes (more for me than her - she's sucha smartypants) so that we can continue mastering goodmanners. And she gets along so well with our two cats!We love her SO much.

Thanks for everything, Liz

Hello MaxFund,

What can I say about little Agnes but she is a joy, joy,joy in our lives. She is learning tricks like sit and"quiet" and is walking better on her leash (harnessworks best for her). She gets to go on long walks andespecially loves the grandma of the house. She &Buddy the Dachshund aren't "best friends" quite yetbut they don't hate each other, either! (Buddy's beenreal sick lately and Agnes has been extra quiet to helphim recuperate). Below are some pics of Agnes in heryard, w/grandma, napping in bed and after her haircut.I posted a little video of her on Your Facebook page -did you catch it? The first day I brought her home sheran & ran & ran in the backyard - so gratifying towatch. I can't think of a nicer gal to join the family!

We love little Agnes!Karen Main

Dear MaxFund,

It’s been almost three weeks since we adopted Hannahfrom you. She has been a delight. Is quite the purringlap cat with spunk and enough “orneries” to keep itinteresting. She’s on the desk as I write.

Thank you for being there for her and for us. A specialthanks to Brittany who knew every cat, their personali-ties and unique habits. And to Nanci Suro who tookthe time to come out to visit with us.

Thank you again.

Carol & Al Mehle

Dear MaxFund,

Just to let you know, our little Roli has turned out to bea real sweetheart with a great sense of humor. He plays “catch me if you can”, peek-a-boo and “I canreally hide and seek” under the blankets. Again,thanks for all your great work. And in true chowform, the butt comes first for all cuddles, scratches andlovies.

Cheri LaarsenProud Pet Mom

Dear Nanci,

What a treat it was to meet you and share your table atBud’s on Saturday! I truly felt honored to meet some-one who has done so much for our “furry friends.”What you all started 27 years ago is such an amazingthing. Thanks to you, your husband, and all those whowork there. Please accept this donation, use it whereneeded. Thank you so much for sharing your table,also!

Sincerely,Patti & Kevin McLaughlin

MaxFund,

Johnny is the best! He's making himself right at homeand seems to be a happy camper. Johnny got sick to hisstomach and had to go on antibiotics but he's betternow. He loves to hide under blankets, play fetch andgo on walks. My parent's dog and Johnny are BFFwhich is great. My biggest complaint is that now myparents ask how he's doing before they ask about me!!!

I'm so happy he and you chose me to be his mommy.

Thank you somuch! Elena
