Fall Newsletter Cover
We mailed out our fall newsletter to donors a couple of weeks ago, though it is just now showing up in places like Chicago. We posted a PDF version of it online over the weekend, and it is available here on our website.

A funny thing about that beautiful cover photo of blind and deaf Spinner:  That was not my intended shot for the cover, but I had been struggling to get exactly what I wanted with Spinner on a different bed in the dog wing; a combination of the lighting and her positioning just wasn't working as well as I wanted. She grew tired of me trying to keep her on the same spot "just so," and finally got up and moved across the room to the green bed by the wall. I thought, "oh well, I'll get a couple of extra shots of her over there, I can always use them for inset photos in her newsletter story." It wasn't until I uploaded them to the camera that I realized how spectacular the shot was, and far better than my planned photo. It's as if she knew how best to show herself off.

    I enjoyed the print issue of the newsletter – – thank you. Thanks to the newsletter’s large photo of pretty Spinner, I can just make out the edge of her left eyeball pointing at her nose.
    Spinner is like my tuxedo wobble cat, aware of her best background and willing to wait till she gets it!

    Great news letter. Could you make a video of Spinner and post it on your you tube page? I would love to see her stop at the open doors and wait. That just makes me smile to think how naturally polite she is!

    A beautiful picture of a BEAUTIFUL girl!
    Do you still have the “wobbly brothers”? My wobbly (permanent) foster dobe is a year old now. She rules the house. 🙂 It all comes down to accepting these animals as they are, just like we do with people.
    I so admire your dedication to these differently abled animals.
