Our sweet VITA was escorted to Dr Damiani clinic for health test and new blood work. Our volunteer Angy drove her and Dr Longo was there to assist to our little sick VITA.
Results, waiting.

REMEMBER OTTO THAT WAS CRUSHED BY A CAR?
0
Our little sunshine Otto is getting stronger and stronger, and tomorrow is his big day for surgeries.
He will be castrated and one back leg will be amputated. Send your prayers for our little boy.
Otto was hit by a car and left to die on the boiling hot street. The cars didn’t stop, quiet the opposite they were irritated that he was laying there. His stray mother with other puppies were standing by the side road worried. One man stopped, and Otto was brought over to AWL. We found a wonderful foster mom Nicky Mormino.
As you can see in all the pictures, Otto is a wild and happy little boy, playing and playing with all possible friends that come his way. He is like the monkey: Curious George.
You cannot believe the speed he has on the three legs, even dragging his bad leg along. His forth leg is damaged after the accident and has no ability to be used, its more in the way for him, but it doesn’t seem like he even realizes he is different.
Sleep over party is the best thing that Otto knows…..
…and hoarding his soft animals.
His surgery will be very difficult and demands many hours and hands. Otto and AWL asks you to kindly help us with donations for his approximately 800 euro vet bill.
We do have PAYPAL on this blog; and on our Swedish site http://www.animalswithoutlimits.se we have our bank account information to accept transfers in the European way.
Help us pay for giving Otto an easier life, he is so full of LOVE.
That’s Amore!
A TRAVEL OF LOVE
0What a journey! What great teamwork!
A friend of mine, Minna, was flying down to Milano, Italy to pick up a car and then drive it back up to Sweden with her husband, Mats. I saw the opportunity to maybe get some animals driven back up from Southern Italy to Northern Sweden, with a small stop in my town outside Stuttgart, Germany. Down in Napoli, we had the three legged cat Willy Wonka, that had been rescued by the veterinarian team at Dr. Carlo Damiani’s clinic. Willy Wonka was fostered by Dr. Carlo and his wonderful family. We also had Fochetta, our senior from the hospice, which was to be adopted by my lovely friend Mia in Sweden. I asked Minna if she could possibly bring some animals with her back?
Minna is also in the rescue business and didn’t hesitate one second to help us out. If only all the animal papers were ready, and if someone could drive Fochetta and WW up to Milano, then there would not be any problems.
Two wonderful American ladies volunteered to drive up to Milano with the precious cargo. They packed the car and only drove one hour, until their tire exploded! They called a tow truck and were being towed back to Napoli. These ladies didn’t go back to their homes, sobbing over a cup of coffee. No, these remarkable women rented a car, un-packed the broken vehicle, re-packed and drove up North. Delayed because of the tire mishap, they floored their gas pedal and arrived right on time. We are forever thankful and grateful for what Lori Alston Garcia and Valerie Funk did.
You started a new chapter for Forchetta and WW in their “book of life”.
You started a new chapter for Forchetta and WW in their “book of life”.
Minna and her husband continued the drive up to Mia’s (President) place outside Stuttgart, Germany. WW was being introduced to his new family, Mia’s (President) wonderful neighbors. Already, he is very much loved and happy there.
Everybody got a late lunch/dinner, and Fochetta got to stretch her little sweet legs in Mia’s garden. After the small break, Minna and husband started the long remaining drive back to Sweden, a 23 hours drive. With them they also had another dog named MIA, (there are a lot of “Mia’s” in this story) that had been returned from her first owner after nine months, but was going to a nice home with a lady and her daughter in Sweden that Mia (President) had found. (That story will come in another blog update.)
Hours later, in the middle of Sweden, MIA the dog was dropped off to her new family, and after some remaining hours of driving, the journey for Minna, Mats and Fochetta would finally end. Fochetta had to sleep over at Minna’s place. It was midnight by the time they got there, and everyone was bone tired. The next day my friend Mia and her father drove down to pick up Fochetta from Minna. My sweet friend Mia was totally in love with Fochetta, just as she had imagined it during her meditations. Fochetta already loves Mia and gave her so many kisses and snores loudly during the nights.
This couldn’t have been done without you all. And especially a big thank you to Lori and Valerie, that was amazing what you did. Minna and Mats, for sponsoring the whole drive from Milano to Sweden. And being the contacts to MIA dog’s home and Mia with Fochetta.
The Mercer family sponsored from Naples to Milano.
And to all hospice volunteers, thank you so much for taking such great care of Fochetta. Loving and nurturing her back to life, I know you all loved her dearly. To AWL’s board who got her picture and story about Fochetta several months ago, and decided to take her away from the horrible place: A Governmental shelter with nearly a thousand of dogs locked in cages and nowhere to go, ever.
A big THANK YOU to the brave Italian volunteer who got her out from that hell-hole.And lastly, to Mia, my friend who dared to adopt a senior dog.
Now, That’s Amore.
OUR POE IS HAVING QUIET SOME PROBLEMS
0
Our beloved Poe is having quiet some problems. He have started to faint again, up to once a week. He can walk around very low, then suddenly he faints, wakes up, and makes cartwheels. Angy our Poe volunteer, drove him to Dr Damiani today for blood work and ultra sound over his bladder so an urine test could be taken. Dr Damiani checked the prostate and found some cysts. But that is not the biggest problem. Dr D also made a EKG and found out that this time Poe’s heart rhythm is not “prefect” Last time Dr D made the test it didn’t show that cause.
We hope with the tests that we can find another hidden disease.
Dr D spoke to the Cardiologist and to get more information about Mr Poe heart we need a recording machine on him. And since we know Poe, he will eat it up. Its a very expensive machine, so he would have to be monitored for 24 hours. This time we are very worried for Poe.
This is very expensive for us and we ask for help (500 euro). When do you turn to your client and say; “sorry the only money we have is to put you into the internal sleep”
Dr D will tell us for sure, and we have worked with him for many years, when its time to put that needle in. But not right now! First we need all the answers.

Thanks Dr Damiani Clinic and thank you all sponsors that helps our projects.
