From Jake, himself!

Hey Ms. Jo,

I am so happy here. You were right, my mom says I am what she dreamed of.. a Golden Retriever in a horse suit.. and I ride GREAT.

I dutifully gave the kids pony rides saturday and was a perfect pet. Mom loves riding me, and we have been working on bending and moving off the leg, serpentines and such. Get this, the grumpy one.

I think his name is Bob came out and fixed a part of my fence that needed a bit or repair.. apparently a first for him.

It is cold tonight, and I am writing this with my sparkle hoof polish, wearing my brand new WUG. Also, Mom is looking into insurance for me, because she said I was PRICELESS.

Imagine that.So, please put me into the success part. I have these people wrapped around my hooves.

Love, Jake B

Puppy Mill Passes in PA!

FROM THE BLOG OF JO SINGER:

Landmark Puppy Mill Bill Passed!

A little over two weeks ago, The Pennsylvania Legislature passed HB2525, a landmark bill that will ensure a better life for thousands of puppies and dogs languishing in Pennsylvania's puppy mills.

The bill was introduced in May 2008. HB2525 requires that cages for dogs are doubled in size for Pennsylvania's commercial breeding establishments, prohibits stacking of cages and wire flooring. It also mandates twice-yearly veterinary examinations for all dogs, and that only licensed veterinarians humanely euthanize animals, when necessary.

This bill is one step closer to humane living enviroments for all dogs.

For over three years, the ASPCA has been working closely with the Governor's Office and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to provide better enforcement of these rules and assure that higher standards of care are provided.

The ASPCA lobbied for the passage of HB 2525 by spending many recent months in Harrisburg, educating and promoting this bill to legislators the State Capital and activating the Pennsylvania members of the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade.

The day after the bill passed, Govenor Ed Rendell signed HB2525 into law.
HB 2525, "The puppy mill reform bill" passed in a landslide victory of 49-1. The euthanasia portion of the bill went into effect immediately; therefore, it is no longer legal in Pennsylvania for individuals to shoot their own dogs.

Pennsylvania residents may thank their legislators for their support in getting this bill passed, by visiting http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/BI/BH/2007/0/HB2525.HTMYou can also see how your representatives voted on the site.

As an animal lover, I was thrilled to read how Pennsylvania took such a strong humane stand to improve the quality of care that dogs receive in their state. I just cannot imagine about what the one holdout legislator was thinking when he or she cast a negative vote.

Puppy mills thrive around the entire country. What would you do, as an animal lover, to help your state pass similar laws to protect both dogs and cats bred in mills? Leave a comment with your suggestions.

Hey I keep trying to remember to call you but it's always at like 9pm. lol. He is doing great! He doesn't know western riding at all so I am retraining him but I planned on that anyway. He is a very hungry guy and eating great! He is going to be going into a field with a mare instead of the geldings. They think he will do better. He is definitely working hard. We ride him every afternoon for about 20 minutes. Just trying to build him up. I just found out I am having my 2nd child so my doctor has said I can't ride anymore. So Russ has gotten on him and is doing great! Rode like a pro. Luvie really likes him. Jenna
