Letters to Jordan

January 2007

Dear John & Jordan,
 
We have combined our love of animals with our ability to be creative to make your personal dog toy crate.  Your toy crate is handmade and decorated with pride and care.  There are no two crates alike.  It is made with a combination of scrapbooking techniques and the old art of decoupage, a time consuming procedure.
 
Our customers tell us that their crates make them smile and bring to life the memories which are held so dear to those of us who enjoy our pets as a part of our family.
 
You don't have to use this crate for just toys.  They have been used to store such items as leashes, shampoos, vitamins, brushes and other supplies.  Some customers put the pets clothing in the crate and then there are the people who store precious memorabilia they have of their pet such as pictures and other personal items.  We call this a beloved crate of memories that is for whatever you see fit!  The images are complimented with the themes that we found might be dear to your heart.
 
The crate is pine.  It has been sanded, prepped and painted.  The images have been carefully placed then covered with 8 coats of decoupage.  It was then finished with one coat of high gloss laquer, then sanded and another final coat of laquer applied.  To clean wipe with a damp warm cloth.  Do not immerse in water.
 
This crate is both a fun and usable conversation piece.  It was made especially for you for all you do to benefit animals!!  It was made with love, from one dog lover to another.  In addition, for the year 2007 for each large and easy reach crate sold, we will donate $5.00 to help the homeless pets-Let us know which organization.

Clark County Animal Control has recently passed a law that states every animal must be spayed or neutered or the owner can be cited and be required to pay a yearly fee to keep their animal unaltered. This law has prompted us to give back to the community, since we know first hand how overpopulated the animal community is. Thanks to the Eugene Kirshbaum Foundation we are able to offer extremely low cost spay and neuters. The fee is $80 and this includes everything, pre-anesthetic blood panel, the surgery, pain medication during the surgery, and pain medication to take home. These surgeries can normally cost anywhere from $150-$300. We are trying to encourage the public to get their animals sterilized. This is the first step to lowering the euthanasia rate in our great city. Please contact myself or Dr. Freer with any questions you may have at (702) 873-3458.

Thank you for your interest,

Dear Sweet Jordan:

My name is Sandie Friedland.  I digitally paint portraits of companion animals and their humans!  Your Pop - John, wears your paw ring which was made for him by my good friend and Master Jeweler, Robert Eis of Sedona, Arizona.  Robert's web site is a featured link on your web site (www.PetsRLoveable.com). 

Shown here is a portrait of a little girl pup named "Snowball".  She is dressed in her Holiday outfit and wanted you to see it. 

Snowball's portrait is presently at the NSPCA.  It is hoped that her portrait along with a beautiful Holiday poem will raise money for all the animals in the Sanctuary.  Will you please add my portrait service www.furevermine.com to your web links?  I donate a substantial portion of the proceeds to the NSPCA from the sale of custom portraits commissioned by persons referred by the NSPCA.  If you would like to see more of my work, other examples hang in the halls and gift shop of the NSPCA.  

On behalf of Snowball and myself, 
Dog Bless U!
Sandie Friedland and Snowball

Dear Mr. Fredericks, I would like to thank you for telling me how much you love the Oxy fresh you give Jordan. I bought some for me little girl Freckles she is 12 yrs old now and is having trouble moving around, I have had her on it for about two weeks now and WOW what a change in her she is doing thinks she has not done for a long time. Thank you again.

I hope Jordan is doing well you too. God Bless you for all you do to help the animals.

Dear John and Jordan,

I got the antioxidant from Oxyfresh and Corkie is really doing well.  She jumped up on the grooming table for the first time in months.  This stuff is great, thank you so much.  She is running around and gets along better with her sidekick, Molly, who is only five months old.  I just got done ordering more.

Take care,

Sharon, Corkie and Molly (my golden girls)

Hi John,
I'm sending this message on behalf of a co-worker, and I was hoping there was some way you could help get the word out.

Lorin, a co-worker and friend of mine, had to put her four-year-old yellow lab puppy, Gracie, to sleep over the weekend. About two weeks ago, Gracie chewed and swallowed part of a Sago palm tree which was purchased from Home Depot and potted in a planter in her back yard.

Unbeknownst to her and her family, these specific palm trees are poisonous, and when ingested, can cause liver and kidney failure.

Gracie was taken to her vet last Wednesday and the doctor said that he was surprised that she hadn't died already as these palms are so very dangerous when eaten by an animal. As Gracie was 85 pounds, it can only be assumed that it took longer for the poison to kill her.
Lorin and her husband finally had to make the decision on Saturday to put Gracie to sleep. At first, the vet held out hope, but as they continued to monitor her liver function (apparently the normal "number" is 25,) hers rose from 148 upon arrival at the hospital, to 544 by Saturday. There wasn't anything that they could do to save her.

What Lorin and her family would like to do is get the word out on these plants. When they purchased them from Home Depot, there were no stickers, no warnings of how poisonous they are. Gracie can't be saved, but by informing others of the dangers of the Sago palm tree, perhaps other animals can be.

Anything that you could do to help get the word out would be appreciated. As a fellow animal lover, you can only imagine what she and her family are going through. Gracie was only four years old and should have had a lifetime of love ahead of her. If not for the Sego palm tree, she would have.

Sincerely,
Cassandra J. Zellers

I wanted to tell you a story about Shadow, my handsome, black, two-year-old, 120 pound German Shepherd.

Last December, after being home for several days with what I thought was the flu, I made my way to the bathroom once again with Shadow there by my side. I wound up on my knees, too weak to get up.  I put my arms around his neck and told him to go inside.  He dragged me to my dropped cell phone in the living room.  I called 9-1-1, and within hours was in the emergency surgery for a ruptured colon.  I've just celebrated my 69th birthday.  Thanks to Shadow and his devotion to me.

I was just discharged once again from having had hernia repair surgery.  It still amazes me just how gentle and caring my pal Shadow is, how in tune he is with my current weakened condition, and how comforting it is to have Shadow with me 24/7!  Oh, I almost forgot, Shadow is now trained to find my cell phone and bring it to me.  I guess I realized it would be a lot easier for him to get the phone than to have to drag me around.

Sincerely,

Carole LaRocca

For John (and Jordan),

Small dogs have stayed in my Spanish Trail home for 12 years now, whenever their owners travel. They sleep with me. My dog, a Broader Collie, "Natasha," has many friends.  Before Vegas, my late husband and I did this in Los Angeles. Every being loves their "vacation."  One lady driving home from work, never made it. In a wreck, she landed in the hospital. I was called as a trip was cancelled. She had 2 dogs in her new second floor condo (no doggie door).

She was driving a company car & they knew she had dogs. She told me she was lucky, if it had been her car, what would happen to her dogs?  That helped me to come up with a white plastic card with red letters "PET EMERGENCY" and you fill in the back who enters your home, to call, in case of a wreck, heart attack, etc. Good for your senior parents to carry- for pet owner, or not.

Thanks John, and you Jordan, just being man's best friend.

Dear John,

Thanks for recommending Dr. Ziegler! She has been wonderful with my Sissy. She is so gentle and kind, and truly cares for animals. I am so thankful to have such an awesome vet, especially now that Sissy has been diagnosed with Cushing's. She explains everything and answers my millions of questions (and doesn't seem annoyed that I ask so many).

You may not remember this, but you also suggested that I contact the NSPCA when I was ready for another dog after my first dog died 3 weeks after I brought her home from Dewey. (She was sick when I got her. I thought she was just scared or shy.)

Following your advice brought Sissy into my life. (THANK YOU!) Sissy is a quiet, gentle, loving dog. She is truly my best friend because she keeps me company and doesn't seem to mind that I'm disabled and homebound. Even though she's technically not a service dog, she helps me so much, especially when I'm having a "bad" day. She seems to know when I am feeling worse than usual.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful advice. You have been so helpful to me. The reason why I started asking for your advice is because it is so apparent how much you love Jordan. I know that you truly understand how important our four legged family members are.

Thank you for taking the time to give me such wonderful advice.

Sincerely,
Laura
