	THE GIFT OF SAINT PETER The 26th of June was a quiet Sunday for a lot of people but it was a landmark day for Pete, a black female Labrador Retriever. She was named Pete after Saint Peter by one of the kind people who had been feeding her. It seemed that Pete was always by a gate when he came to feed. Depending on who was telling the story Pete had been on Rowe Mesa...
	Chato Y Gato “Boss,” thought the ancient cat out loud, “I’m tired, more than tired, I think it is about time I go.” He was dressed in his favorite tuxedo smoking jacket, now ragged to the point of disgrace. Neither he nor the boss minded how he looked as neither one of them entertained very often or went out. “Boss,” the ancient cat purred raggedly, “Boss, it was a rough beginning...
	Carmella I first laid eyes on Carmella in June, 2010. She had been abandoned at a local animal shelter along with her 8 puppies. Her puppies were sent to Colorado for adoption, but Carmella was scheduled for euthanasia. She was literally a walking skeleton, had a dislocated hip and part of her one ear was torn off...
	Gabby My name is Gabby. I’m about a year old, and was homeless and hopeless, but all that’s changed – thanks to friends of PAWS. A nice lady noticed me hanging out in Bernalillo; skinny, coat a mess and hungry. She started putting out food. I was leery at first, but soon I let her pet me. It took a few weeks before I truly trusted her. When it got really cold...
	Milagro This past September, 2010, lost, homeless, abused and abandoned pretty much tell the last stories of so many dogs and cats here in northern New Mexico; but now and then miracles indeed happen. For weeks, Alicia Gyetvai a kind and alert woman saw a young dog wandering about in Eldorado’s Agora Shopping Center...
	Tommy Tommy, the naughty boy kitty, also one of the most loving cats I've ever had. He is totally jet propelled during his waking hours. He has just two gears: scamper or full-tilt-boogie. I love to watch him scamper because he kicks up his heels with total glee at each stride...
	Shamus and Andy - Part 1 Shamus and Andy - Part 2 It all began some twenty years ago when I told the wizened little man selling plants at the farmers’ market that I was looking for something that would grow close to the ground and be happy in the shade under a maple tree. He looked at me, shifted around a little, rubbed his chin, and said, “It sounds like you need a dog.” I had a dog, actually...
	Ewa This past September, 2008, a little stray cat appeared on my doorstep. He was literally starving to death and the stench that came from him told me that he was terribly ill. He was frightened and hungry, but allowed me to immediately start feeding him. I knew I had to get him to my Vet if there was going to be any chance of saving him...
	Stiches On her way to pick up her dog that had surgery on the van that day, a woman actually saw someone in the car ahead of her throw a tiny kitten out of the car window She mercifully stopped and picked it up. It had a huge gash across its head and virtually no skin left on its little nose; it clearly had some head trauma. The Vet on the van stitched up the head...
