Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.<br />I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me. I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com). <br />Reasons I chose them over the others:<br />1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.<br />2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.<br />3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step…

Cuteness overload

These four sweet Chi-weenie pups were rescued last week from Walton County Animal Control, along with their mom Cricket. Cuteness overload!

Puppy Prevention Success

There’s no simple solution to the pet overpopulation problem. WAG’s Puppy Prevention program was created to start at the source – spay female dogs that have already had at least one litter, hoping to prevent any further births. Spaying and neutering the puppies before adoption also prevents any accidental litters that might occur if new owners wait too long to sterilize their new pups.<br /><div><br /></div><div>In the three months since beginning, WAG has welcomed 36 puppies and 6 mother dogs into the PP program. Most puppies leave mom at 6-8 weeks for adoption and the mother dog is typically ready to be spayed 4-6 weeks later. To-date, 22 puppies have been adopted and 3 female dogs spayed. </div><div><br /></div><div>When owners sign their animals up for the…

A Brotherly Reunion

In 2010 we rescued two little terrier mix puppies from Walton County Animal Control. We named them Oscar and Felix.<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qq9rMw4p6ww/U11FUEJ4TkI/AAAAAAAABpU/riLO5f1zt0o/s1600/IMG_5470.JPG” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qq9rMw4p6ww/U11FUEJ4TkI/AAAAAAAABpU/riLO5f1zt0o/s1600/IMG_5470.JPG” height=”265″ width=”320″ /></a></div><br />One of our WAG supporters, Kim, brought them to the attention of two of her friends living in California, Kay and Eileen. Kay lives in San Francisco and Eileen in San Mateo. The three former college classmates stay in touch and Kim visits California often. Kay and Eileen fell in love with Felix and Oscar’s photos and filled out adoption applications for them.<br /><br />Obviously Monroe is nowhere near California, so it was decided that Felix and Oscar would fly to California with Kim on her next…

Testing help

Thanks to our supporters, WAG was able to donate $165 to Walton County Animal Control to purchase a carton of dog heartworm tests. The shelter regularly tests dogs for heartworms, one of the reasons so many rescues pulls dogs from our local shelter. Providing these tests goes a long way in helping these wonderful and adoptable dogs leave the shelter!<br /><br /><div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”><a href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MF4Yor4zcWM/Uz4ufzRrYRI/AAAAAAAABno/ninb3z7IdSA/s1600/IDEXX_heartworm_snap_test.gif” imageanchor=”1″ style=”margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;”><img border=”0″ src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MF4Yor4zcWM/Uz4ufzRrYRI/AAAAAAAABno/ninb3z7IdSA/s1600/IDEXX_heartworm_snap_test.gif” /></a></div>
