Mad mad World -Shaggy
June 8th, 2011
Shaggy is a Hasa Apso x Yorkshire Terrier. he was only a year old at the time this video was made. He was found by the dog warden and taken to a local vets where he stayed for 2 weeks and was diagnosed with Ataxia. The vets asked if we could take Shaggy into our care in order to find him a good home. We believe he has been dumped because of his condition. Ataxia is the loss of the ability to coordinate muscular movement. Ataxia can encompass a variety of different problems with coordination and balance. These will include a staggering gait often with a prominent goose stepping of the front limbs, crossing over of the limbs, and balance problems. For Shaggy, this is only a mild disability and he gets around just fine. He does NOT need medication. Shaggy is a super dog, he’s good with other dogs We are glad to say that Shaggy (now called Smiley) is in a happy home! There are many dog out there that need our help. please visit out web page to see if you can adopt, to donate or to just learn more. Thank you www.rspca-macclesfield.org.uk Or you can email us: dogs@rspca-macclesfield.org.uk Our branch, like all local RSPCA branches is a separate charity which though under the umbrella of the national RSPCA headquarters,is not centrally funded. Neither the national society nor this branch receive monies from the Government. This means we exist through donations from the local community and must raise funds through regular events within the branch’s boundaries. Thank you.
A Shaggy Dog Story
My secretary hits me with a call from my second cousin, once removed, on my Mother’s side, Tommy the horseplayer.
He is a deadbeat and a miscreant (evil) relative, and someone you should run away from like your behind was on fire.
Tommy is broke again, and needs $150 to play a horse at Monticello racetrack where he is. Naturally the nag is a sure thing because as an insider, he knows the fix is in by the mob guys.
He offers as collateral his pedigreed collie male, Jack London, professional breeding stud worth over Ten Grand. It was true, and his sole asset.
He don’t know I would give him (Tommy) the $150 if he just signs a contract never to call me again. I say yeah for my dear departed mother’s sake.
He needs the dinero wired to Monticello Raceway, upstate N.Y. He’ll deliver the collateral when he gets back to NYC.
Tommy calls back later: two things: the horse loses, and Jack London the collie breeding champion – died. On behalf of both of them – very sorry.
I say, “Tommy bring me Jack London’s corpse, I’m going to recoup my
$150.” He answers with the universal question – “But how?”
“Not your problem, prove the collie exists and died, or get-out-of-town.”
Here’s where you, dear reader come in. How did I take in $1,150 for my lost
$150? You figure it out and the first hand up wins $100 cash, tax-free.
I read all your emails, but nobody got it. You want the answer?
Hint: I control a 501 (c) (3), a not-for-profit, IRS approved charity.
We can hold legal Raffles (lottery for a prize) anytime for any reason.
Now, 258 folks each bought a $5 raffle to win the $10,000 breeding stud.
You say, “But the dog was dead!”
The raffle never mentioned the deceased nature of the collie Jack London.
You say, “But didn’t you get complaints when they found out the
dog-was-dead?”
I answer: – “Sure, but only one complaint, and that from the winner. I
show the raffle winner the corpse of Jack London and offered it to him, plus
I give him his $5 back.” He could have the dog stuffed in memorial, right?
19. That left my charity with a return of $1,145.
The non-profit gave me my $150 back and $490 for my fund raising efforts.
The charity earned $650 – found money they never would have seen.
Yes, it’s IRS legal to pay a fund-raiser up to 60% of what they bring in.
Tommy the horseplayer still calls me up with sure things. I tell him,
“No! – unless you got good collateral like before.”
He is saving up to buy another stud breeding collie to be registered as Jack London, #2. I hope this time the dog lives. Aha! Moment? See ya, H
