Meet Rambo! A Labordor - Australian Shepard mix. Rambo was a loving companion to my Father. I thought about placing his photo in Furry Angels, however, his loving spirit will always be with me. As a pup, my call to him would be "Puppy - Puppy" and he would jump onto my lap, kisses and more kisses and chew on my earrings. That was fine as a pup -- but this boy grew to be over 60 lbs.
By the way, Dad lived in HUD housing at the time and there were rules regarding the weight of a pet. A pet in HUD housing couldn't be more than 20 lbs. My family fought that rule and won! After numerous phone calls and letters, Mayor Hazouri of Jacksonville responded...The headline in our local newspaper read: "Rambo stays Growls the Mayor."
No longer can HUD housing evict a resident or their animal based on the weight of the animal. My sincere thanks to the Animal Activists, Veterans and Disabled citizens that responded to the ad I placed in the newspaper when this situation occured. Without their calls to the "powers that be" some of our citizens wouldn't be able to share their lives with loving companions. Your voice and opinion does count and YOU can make a difference!
