Doggy RIP: Cesar Millan's Pit Bull Daddy passes away Posted: 22 Feb 2010 12:26 PM PST Daddy, Cesar Millan's beloved pet died peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 16. Daddy was a key fixture in the National Geographic Channel television series Dog Whisperer. He assisted Millan with his toughest cases, interacting with and calming the most unmanageable dogs with his natural balanced energy. Daddy helped shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. Daddy, often referred to as America's pit bull ambassador because of his gentle disposition and
I AM DOG BLESSED I am a dog person Dog hair is my main accessory Chew marks adorn my shoes and purses Tongue residue decorates all vehicle windows I care more about a walk with my dog than my appearance The bottom of my shoes probably have poop on them, my jeans may be ripped from a past rescue, my shirt harbors the glorious smells that drive all canines wild ( other canines). My hair, its there, held in place by strategically placed slobber. I am more comfortable sitting on a concrete floor with a room full of dogs then the grandest 5 star resorts best suite. I am also thrilled with sitting down and sharing a hotdog with my furbaby than I am going to any restaurant! Just smile, when you need a pen and you have to wait for me to pull out of my purse...a dog leash, extra collar, ziploc of treats, and any pet paraphernalia I can fit in there. I am an animal person, that does not mean I do not like you or others of the human race it just means , I don't get you. There is a gap between your understanding of life and mine, unless you are an animal person too. Then even though we understand each other, we also understand our social skills may be limited to sit, stay, speak, walk, nap, leave me alone with my own bone to chew. At least we don't smell each others butts! But, I possess loyalty, love and pack instincts if you like to be part of a pack. I AM ANIMAL BLESSED If you come to my house you will be licked, smelled, barked at, rubbed against or better. If you venture into the yard you may be jumped on, pecked, screeched at or even nibbled. I make no apologies for my family. They love you and for some of you they are a step out of your comfort zone, huh? But, it is all washable, trust me! Lisa Gupton

In memory of all of the homeless, abused, neglected and lost pets that we could not save.
In loving memory of Ed "MOOSE" Davis; September 16, 1949 to February 16, 2009
"To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ed Davis, fondly known as Moose, has touched many lives, humans and animals alike. He began life in 1949 in Andalusia, Alabama, son of Charles Edward Davis and Mary Ann Hill. He had many adventures throughout the years, but but he was perhaps best known for his love of animals. He was a founder of Burke County Friends For Animals and received much recognition for his volunteer efforts and contributions to the community. Perhaps his most treasured accomplishments were his eternal happy romance with his wife of 32 years, Toni Davis, and his family of two sons, Clint and Austin, and two grandchildren, Alex and Nanami. Ed Cherished all forms of life and served as the Burke County Cruelty Investigator for 12 years, protecting the lives of the animals who needed him. He kept a special place in his heart for his furry friends, especially Lucky and Gidget.
The family wishes to express our deep appreciation for your expressions of concern and kindness in thought and deed.

OUR FOUNDERS In 1997, six individuals (Jan Billings, Mary Bush, Ed and Toni Davis, Liz Moore and June Sledge) who were as determined as they were creative, saw the potential of selecting animals from Animal Control to keep them from being euthanized and to find them homes. On their own, they pursued this goal unstintingly over 24 hour days for several years. It was threefold: save the animals, treat them humanely, educate the public. Their legacy continues to guide Friends For Animals though, reluctantly, we bid farewell to Mary Bush and Liz More as they departed for the Rainbow Bridge. Their purity of purpose, novel solutions to problems and hard work establish a foundation for the "Friends For Animals" organization that thrives today.
