Update!

Santa is Coming to Town!

Hi Folks,
Wrangler here, writing again after a little time off for knee surgery.  I’m still under the influence of tranquilizers, but doing much better.  I am writing to remind you about this year’s Santa Parade in Belleville, Illinois on November 27th.  This year HALO will be walking dogs with Gateway Pet Guardians.  If you go [...]

Dog Days of Summer!

Hi Friends.  Here’s my one and only history lesson for the year.  We generally consider the dog days of summer those hot, sultry days of little rain and excessive heat that occur in late July and early August.  But, did you know that the ancient Greeks and Romans correlated them to nearly the exact dates of July [...]

Spring is coming!

Hi,

If [...]

Heartworms – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Hello to all,
The holidays have passed, and the decorations are slowly coming down at my house.  We had a wonderful holiday at my new home.  For the first time in my life Santa left presents for me under the Christmas tree.  It was great to be part of a real family at the holidays and [...]

Winter Warnings

Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays,
My family put up the Christmas decorations this weekend.  I watched with great interest, as I have never seen such glittery, exciting things in a house.  The decorations are beautiful and hold much intrigue – especially to dogs and cats.  So, I’m writing to remind you that as beautiful as the [...]

Hi Everyone.  Wrangler here again to tell you about all the fun the HALO Group had yesterday.  It was the Friday after Thanksgiving and a beautiful day.  The sun was shining, but the temperatures were cool which made it just right to walk twenty-five blocks in a parade with Santa Claus.
The HALO Group and all [...]
