WATCH FOR THE 2015 WESTIE RESCUE FACEBOOK AUCTION!!

PLEASE PARTICIPATE AND HELP US HELP THE WESTIES!

Volunteer Marcia Reimer spends a great deal of her personal time organizing and handling Facebook auctions

for Westie Rescue groups around the country. Our turn is coming again in 2015!!!!!

RESERVE MARCH 14 & 15!!!

Consider “liking” our Facebook page now (Westie Rescue Michigan) and check in frequently. Prior to the

auction we will begin asking for donations. Typically, you would take a photo of the item you are donating and

post it to the Facebook page along with information about it. After the auction, you will be notified as to

where to send your item. And hopefully, you will have won some bids yourself and will receive some

wonderful items. They don’t have to be Westie related.

THANK YOU to others who have helped in BIG WAYS in 2014!!

FOSTER HOMES and other VOLUNTEERS!!!!

There is no adequate way to say “Thanks!”. This includes the Officers who keep this rescue running on the straight

and narrow road; those who have put us on Facebook in a huge way; those who do graphics work to make us look

good, those who organize events and those who make, buy, or mail the items we sell; those who keep us on Café

Press and Ebay; those who maintain our website and newsletter; those who do homechecks, transport dogs, nurse

them thru illnesses and fear. And so many, many more who are so essential to all we try to do.

ALL DONORS, LARGE AND SMALL…..IT ALL COUNTS!!!!!!!

Deb Duncan – Behaviorist who helps us almost every day!! http://www.thedogspeaks.com

A DOG’S BEDTIME PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep, The king-sized bed is soft and deep. I sleep right in the center groove, My human beings can hardly move. I’ve trapped their legs, they’re tucked in tight, And here is where I pass the night.

No one disturbs me or dares intrude, Til morning comes and “I want food!” I sneak up slowly to begin, And nibble on my human’s chin. For morning’s here, it’s time to play, I always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord, for giving me, This human person that I see. The one who hugs me and holds me tight, And shares their bed with me at night.
