Black Lab Puppy for 9 year old boy & family who lost 3 dogs in fire


Grabs

I have a huge favor to ask, as I am trying to help a family out who just yesterday lost everything. You may have heard about the Mero family in Buffalo whose home burned to the ground yesterday. All of the family is safe as none of them were home, however all three of the family's black labs were stuck inside the home as it burned. Dylan, the family's 9 year old boy is heart broken about having lost his "buddies". The home and everything inside is completely gone. The family will be into a rental home very soon. I am one of Kim's co-workers and a dog lover as Kim and her family are too. I just know how happy Dylan would be to have a new buddy this Christmas having just lost his.

If by chance you have puppies available, would you have the ability to donate a puppy to this family this Christmas? If not donate would you be able to help out in some way?

Here is a link to the news story from Channel 9 news, the video is also there:

I wish you luck in finding one. Does it have to be a puppy? This might not be the best time to deal with a puppy if they just lost their house. I sent you an email regarding a 1 year old black lab that's looking for a new home.

I was just digging into younger dogs and this may be the best route! Just didn't think they would be this readily available, more so than puppies.

This may work out well.

Thanks for the e-mail I am looking into it.

This was osted on RTF a few days ago but might be worth a call

June was born in Sept 08. Very small dog. She loves kids and being around people. She will be a very good house dog. She is very obdient-sit heel, kennel. She is the type of dog that melts in your hands when you touch her. She loves attention and is very,very calm.

She has an excellent pedigree, but just can't handle pressure of any kind. I am looking to place her with someone who wants a great indoor pet.

Pick-up only

Thanks,

What a terrible story my thoughts go out to the family/ Regarding the replacement dog however, replacing a family pet immediately after losing previous pet is not advised. We just went through the loss of a pet and everyone I talked to advised that we allow the kids time to mourn. THe time of mourning gives them time to cement memories but more importantly a quick replacement pet can give young children the idea that life is replaceable.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
