Another Newspaper Article on Stubby, the Magic Pencil

Just today I learned from a well-read friend that Stubby, the Magic Pencil was mentioned in the Eureka Time Standard.  The press release led to Stubby being included in the papers "Round Up" section.  I am pleased and very appreciative of all the support my book is receiving.

In addition, the paperback version of Stubby is also now available on Amazon, as well as the Kindle Version.

Again, I thank everyone for the support of the publishing of my newest book.

Rex photo update

Rex recuperating at Karin's home

Karin took a couple of photos of Rex over the weekend. As you can see, he is improving.

His medical bills are still coming in though and he still needs more medical procedures. We haven't had a response from the Hoopa Tribal Council about stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing. So far Karin has paid $1300 out of her own budget. I've thrown in what I could, and so have a few others.

If you wish to help pay Rex's bill, you can contact the Sunny Brae Animal Hospital.

If you want to read more about Rex in the papers, please contact the Time-Standard and The Two Rivers Tribune and let them now you want a follow-up story.

Karin wants to get Rex on Channel 3 news in Eureka.  Anyone know how do proceed with this wish?

The more people who know and act for the benefit of Rex, the less likely Rex's story will be repeated on the Hoopa Valley Reservation.

Rex at the Beach

The Story of Rex hit the paper today!

I am glad people are hearing about Rex and the abuse to animals by Tribal Police.

Alas, the reporter got some details in his article wrong. Rex was found hours after he was shot, not days.

The Two Rivers paper will have another article out on Tuesday. That should have more details for all who are interested.

Rex is still mending. He is going in to have his infected teeth removed on Monday, since the rest of his wounds are stable now. 

I told my students on Friday part of what happened (they are too young for full details) because I felt it better they heard it from me and to give them a chance to talk and share feelings before it hit the paper. One of my students claimed the dog as his and cried for the last 45 minutes of class. Four other students wrote about Rex and how he would lick their faces and play with them.

Rex is a very loved dog.
