Down dirt roads, down seasonal dirtroads and way, way back in the deep woods I found the Estate Sale.On my drive back in- I had toliterally dodge wildlife in the road to get to destination. The location deep in the woods on a babblingstream, truly a slice of heaven. Not only did the centenarians have arustic cottage to call home, they had an incredibly inviting bunkhouse completewith outhouse for the Grandchildren and visitors. It was up in the sleeping quarters Ifound this old rustic plaque nailed above the bed. The other side of the room above thebed was a full size Sword Fish-I purchased it as well. (However I cannot listit because of its size and delicate nature.) Dang…First thought: it may have been a kitor a Boy Scout badge activity, done by a young teen during their summer staywith the Grandparents. The brook trout is primitive and very, very aged. (Less than perfect)The actual backboard matched thepaneling which covered the bedroom sleeping quarters. I am stumped as to what the actualfish is created out of! My husband looked over the plaque and voice his opinionit might be an assembled kit-like the Boy Scouts may have had.I don’t feel this is a plastic, it maybe a lighter wood such as balsa. I honestly am at loss as to say what it’s madeout of.Before the aging effect got the bestof it, the fish must have been someone’s pride. I MUST INFORM YOU, ONE BOTTOM FIN IS MISSING-VIEW PHOTO.The plaque board of pressed woodmeasures 19 x 9 inches.The actual size of the fish is that of16 x15, such a nice looking creation.Note the cracking of the surfacepaint, if I were to keep this piece I would spray it with a clear sealant.The eye is not glass nor an addedpiece, it part of the fish.Due to the intrigue of this piece I amcertain a new home will be found for this icon of the past.I cannot say it enough, please viewall the photos.Own a piece of rustic past.SHIPPINGThis fish will leave my home with a packagedweight of 4 pounds.EXTRAPRAYERS ARE NEEDED FOR OUR TROOPS AND MILITARY FAMILIES (and Veterans) AGAIN INTHIS GREAT TIME OF NEED AND PERSONAL SACRIFICE.

THINGS I WOULD LIKEYOU TO KNOW Painfully witnessing both my Rescued Pekingese’sbattling and succumbing to afflictions which plagued and ravished their bodies:from the neglect and abuse at the hands of humans. I have decided through my traumatic journey ofgrief over the loss of both dogs to continue my voyage of dedication andpurpose: with my unrelenting commitment to rescued hearts in the vast andreprehensible world of neglected and abused dogs. In my soul searching (and the guidance of theLords hands) I have been introduced to the world of a Rescue in need one of adifferent circumstance than what I was previously exposed to: one of a retiredshow dog in need of re-homing. At this time I am honored and blessed tointroduce my newest Rescued heart: Kaiser M. Wolfram aus Deutschland (Germany). Kaiser is a charming 2 ½ year old pedigreePekingese of superior blood line. However unable to climb to the top in hisbreed classification as swiftly as his siblings- long story short: he needed tofind a forever home. After the lengthy transatlantic flight fromEurope to the mitten state Kaiser is settling in to his “forever home” withvigor. Not a rescue of neglected or abuse: but one of travel, primping and forthe most part selected cage life. With each passing day Kaiser is discovering thewonders of having his own yard with 24/7 love encouragement and companionship.The gorgeous thick natural show coat is in his past, comfort and ease rules hiseveryday existence. With lightning speed Kaiser has eagerly becomingan important part of our life and family, still to this day and a regalambassador for his breed and pedigree. Some stories have a very happy ending, and thisis one. However most are no so lucky. I invite you to take a few moments and look overthe wonderful P.C.F. website (PekingeseCharitable Foundation, Inc.) or the heartwarming “Alura Always & Forever Pekingese Rescue” in southern California, “Dalis to the Rescue in St. Louis Michigan” and “Liz E’s Pekinese Rescue” in Arkansas, Heartland Small Animal Rescue in South Bend, Indiana. Give them a look see, you might (and will)find the love of your life listed on these sites. Click them all as a favorite, you will never seeanother rescue organization like the ones suggested. They are all angels whowalk this earth, their mission to save and rehabilitate little dogs with pushedin faces that have suffered due to neglect and abuse. In today’s world little dogs are taking thebrunt of frustration and hate: which seems to be free floating in our society. Rescueorganizations are swamped with dogs in need, never to turn away a dog inappalling need-they are overextended beyond capacity. Please do something today to improve the life ofa dog! Perhaps together we can stop the abuse andneglect at the hands of those cruel monsters that injure and maim those whohave no voice. If you see abuse and neglect: REPORTIT!
