The Legacy - Author Unknown
When humans die,
they make a will
To leave their homes
and all they have
to those they love.
I, too, would make a will
if I could write.
To some poor wistful, lonely stray
I leave my happy home,
My dish, my cosy bed,
my cushioned chair, my toy.
The well loved lap,
the gentle stroking hand,
the loving voice,
The place I made in someone's heart,
The love that at the last could help me to
a peaceful painless end
Held in loving arms.
If I should die, Oh do not say,
"No more a pet I'll have,
to grieve me by it's loss"
Seek out some lonely, unloved dog
And give my place to him.
This is the legacy I leave behind -
'tis all I have to give.
Do I Go Home Today - Sandi Thompson
My family brought me home cradled in their arms.
They cuddled me and smiled at me, and said I was full of charm.
They played with me and laughed with me, they showered me with toys.
I sure do love my family especially the girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats.
They even let me sleep with them all snuggled in the sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
They even fought to hold my leash, I'm very proud to say.
These are things I'll never forget a cherished memory.
I now live in a shelter without my family.
They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.
But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new.
The kids and I would grab a rag for hours we would tug.
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bathroom rug.
They said that I was out of control, and would have to live outside.
This I did not understand although I tried and tried.
The walks stopped, one by one; they said they hadn't time.
I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my crime.
My life became so lonely, in the back yard on a chain.
I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.
So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why.
They said I caused an allergy, and then, kissed me goodbye.
If I'd only had some classes, as a little pup
I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.
"You only have one day left," I heard the worker say.
Does this mean a second chance? Do I go home today?

ABTR Private Label Wines
What's the perfect gift for that special Boston Terrier loving friend or family member who has everything? How about their favorite wine? Celebrate any occasion and help a rescued Boston Terrier with ABTR's very own private label wine collction!
Order at www.BenefitWines.com/boston, or phone in your order at (978) 297-5477. Thank you for supporting American Boston Terrier Rescue!
Hint: Shipping costs for a single bottle may seem a bit high, but that's because shipping alcohol incurs a $12 up front fee and an adult's signature. Order mutliple bottles (like six or more) to get maximum shipping savings. ABTR recommends ordering multiple bottles at once ~ think birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries and holidays, or order with a friend and share the shipping cost!

'Reading Fur Rescue'
The Ultimate Gift Fur Your Dog-Loving Friends and Family: Great Books that Give Back!
Pick up books at the Happy Tails Books website and be sure to say you heard out about them from ABTR on the checkout page so our rescue will get credit for the sale.
Sharing books from the 'Lost Souls: Found!' series, which contain over 50 heartwarming stories about adopted dogs, is a great opportunity to help raise awareness about dog rescue. It will surely be one of the most memorable and appreciated gifts you give this year.
'Hollywood Barks!' is revered Hollywood Studio Wrangler Kathryn Segura's memoir, which brings to light the fact that many Hollywood 'star' dogs are actually rescues! The 'tails' within are funny, poignant, and a must-read for any dog-lover or movie buff.
Previews of all books are available on the website.
Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin
See the pages and pages of beautiful graphics by Lili - you'll surely want to immortalize YOUR special friend(s) with a Lili original!
Lili has generously offered to donate 25% of each order placed by an ABTR Friend (or supporter of ABTR, or family member of ABTR, or neighbor, coworker, whatever) to our cause. Just be sure to let her know that you support American Boston Terrier Rescue!
Here's the lowdown, straight from Lili's blog:
What you will receive:
A 8.5 x 11" print on Epson Enhanced Matte paper sent by USPS First Class mail
A link to a downloadable digital image (high resolution PDF format) of your fur baby from which you can make as many extra copies as you wish.
I will email you a preview of the illustration before I complete it so that if you absolutely hate it or need to have certain things changed, this is a good time to let me know. :)
Depending on how busy I am (because I do other work during the day) the finished drawing could take any time from 1 day to 2 weeks.
THE COST?
$50 for a drawing with 1 dog
$75 for a drawing with 2 dogs
$100 a drawing with 3 dogs
etc.
These prices include shipping to anywhere in the world.
If you would like to commission a drawing of your dog(s), please send me a message with a short description of their personalities and a link to photos if they are in an online gallery (eg, Flickr, photobucket, etc) Or you could email your favorite photos to me. I prefer photos that include different angles and a full body pose (undressed! :)) so that I can see their unique body markings clearly. Or if I could meet your dogs... that would be the best! My email address is lili.chin (at) gmail.com.
We hope you'll all consider participating in this ongoing fundraiser. Just think how proud you'll be to display a genuine work of art featuring your furbaby! And what an AMAZING gift idea for Mother's Day, Father's Day, a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion! It's an affordable, personal and incredibly thoughtful gift for the dog lovers (or any pet, really) in your life! The possibilities are endless, and doggies in need will benefit - what could be better?
Help ABTR Fill Our Virtual Billboard!
ABTR has created a virtual billboard using GiveWithoutGiving.org. This is a super cool new fundraising tool that allows supporters to make donations in $1 increments to help us reveal our virtual billboard image. Donors may upload an image, provide a URL, and leave a personal message, all for as little as $1.Please consider supporting ABTR so we may continue to help dogs with emergency medical needs like Nicky, Junebug and ZaZa. Your support will also enable us to continue to strive toward a puppymill-free nation as we work with local officials to care for Bostons that were formerly trapped in horrendous mill situations.
We can't do this without your help, and we're always looking for new and novel ways to put the FUN back in fundraising!
See the virtual billboard below to track our progress and click here to buy blocks!
Graphics may not be used in any form without written permission from ABTR. If you like our new graphics, I suggest you contact Lili Chin and if you indicate American Boston Terrier Rescue, she will donate a portion of her proceeds from your drawing back to ABTR.
