The Puppy Mill bill passed the Senate!!!! WHOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Now onto the house committee and that hearing is scheduled for March 19th at 10AM.  We are trying to figure out how to get there to testify.  Brandon’s back is a lot worse after a fall down the stairs a couple of weeks ago and there is just no way he can handle another car ride over there and a flight for us to go is going to be more than we can afford.  So, we may not be able to make it, but we haven’t given up yet trying to figure out a way to make it there.

I have pasted the vote count below so you can see who voted against this and for it.

I hope this finds all of you well.  The website hasn’t been updated as much as before because we have been really busy and Brandon’s issues with his back injury have been complicated by this recent fall, so he is a bit out of commission for a lot of things right now.  We are trying to make sure that we keep the important news updated and we are replying to emails as quickly as possible.  So return phone calls and emails may be slow in coming.

Terrah & Brandon
