Meet Max: A Senior (11 yr) old Dachshund up for Adoption through CCDR

Met Max!

I wanted to highlight my own Foster dog who is available for adoption through Coast to Coast Dachshund rescue.

Last  Sunday, we were the last in the transport leg for two senior Dachshunds who were  brought into the rescue (from a divorced home). Now you can "Meet" them- through this biography, photos and video I put together to help get them adopted.

Milo (his brother - the red dachshund pictured with him) went to another foster home.  

   11 yr old Max relaxed and has fit in with our 3 canine kids. He is adoptable thru c2cdr.org. he's on line now. 

MEET MAX!

Max Relax

Hi I'm Max!  I'm an active, happy 11 year old neutered male black and tan longhaired Dachshund looking for a forever home. I'm 18 pounds of fun and I come with a Pedigree! How cool.

I really need to be in a home with another dog. I grew up with Max and am not happy unless I have another dog around.

I love, love, love squeaky toys, rope toys, walks, chasing balls in the backyard and I love to cuddle. I'm okay with kids. I'm neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on all vaccinations through March 2016! My teeth are in good shape and I'm healthy except for the weight thing, but we all like treats.

I do have a heart murmur, so brushing my teeth to keep them clean is essential.  That doesn't stop me from bringing my tennis ball to you for lots of play, daily!

 I take heartworm and flea preventative on the 21st of each month.

My birthday is February 6, 2004.

Sadly, I'm a victim of a divorce (like my brother Milo, an 11 year old red doxie also up for adoption) where my human parents split and I was placed in a foster home.

I normally eat twice a day, around 7 am and 6 p.m. Before bedtime, if you get out a milk bone I will stop whatever he's doing to jump into my bed. Then, if you partially cover the crate with a blanket, it makes me feel secure so I can sleep through the night. 

I came into the rescue on Aug. 2, 2015 with my brother Milo (and we grew up together, so if you're looking for a pair of sweet seniors, we would love to be adopted together).

Max is adoptable at Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (www.c2cdr.org) for an adoption fee of $150. For information go to: c2cdr.org. The adoption fee helps reimburse the rescue for all the up-front medical costs, vaccines, spay/neutering, etc. that are done to get dogs healthy and adoption ready.

In the news! Dog-gone fun at Save-A-Stray fundraiser!

Dog-gone fun at Save-A-Stray fundraiser

Rob Gutro considers himself a superhero. He doesn’t stop runaway trains, or leap skyscrapers. He doesn’t even wear a bodysuit.
But if he did, it would probably have a paw print on the chest.
Gutro is an author, medium and paranormal investigator who helps people recognize communication from their loved ones who have died — especially loved ones of the four-legged and furry variety.

Rob and his dog Tyler

“I’m a big superhero fan, a big comic book fan and I look at it (my ability) as a superpower because I have an ability most people don’t have and I’m able to provide proof and comfort to people,” Gutro said. “I think that’s a pretty cool gift.”
Gutro is a special guest at a fundraiser Saturday for Adirondack Save-A-Stray, a Corinth animal shelter that finds homes for about 1,500 animals a year.

“He was at the event last year and hit so many people right on with really telling them things about their animals, about their life,” said Meredith Fiel, founder of Adirondack Save-A-Stray.
“The people he read were blown away, they just walked away with their eyes glazed and their mouths open,” she said.
Gutro discovered he could communicate with ghosts and spirits when he was 13 and his grandfather appeared to him — six months after his death.
He told his mother, who wasn’t surprised. Turns out, his grandfather, mother and a cousin all had the ability.
“I found out she had same ability, but never used it,” he said. “She was afraid of dead people and sometimes, there are days I’d rather just talk to dead people.”
Gutro said he doesn’t use his ability to get rich. By day, he’s a meteorologist in Maryland, and author of three books, “Ghosts and Spirits,” “Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead” and “Pets in the Afterlife.”
He wrote the books, he said, “to give people understanding and comfort and learn to recognize signs people and pets from our past give to us all the time.”
Being able to identify those experiences is what he will focus on Saturday night at the Save-A-Stray Benefit.
The evening, which will be held on the ninth floor of The Towers, also includes presentations by dog trainer Dan Rossignol, who will appear with his Rottweilers; reiki and animal communicator Nancy Clifford; and wildlife rehabilitators John and Diane Hime.
While Save-A-Stray helps all kinds of pets, this year’s focus, Fiel said, is on kittens and cats.
“We have a bad problem with kittens and cats because people think they can throw them out and that they can fend for themselves,” she said.
“We’re really trying to make a difference in spaying and neutering and finding forever homes for these cats.”
 If you go

Adirondack Save-A-Stray hosts an evening of spiritual expression, communication and psychic experiences at 5:30 p.m. Saturday on the ninth floor of The Towers, 333 Glen St., Glens Falls.
The event, a fundraiser for Save-A-Stray, includes cocktails, entertainment, dinner, exhibits, a dessert buffet, a silent auction and special guests author, medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro; dog trainer and behavior consultant Dan Rossignol; and reiki and animal communicator Nancy Clifford.
Tickets to the event are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. They can be purchased at Save-A-Stray and at locations throughout the area. For more information, call 654-6220.

Q&A: What Causes Ghostly Soldiers to March Across a Road when Cars are Coming?

A winding wooded road

On  a recent trip, I learned about GHOSTLY SOLDIERS  who march across a heavily wooded roadway in a place called "Brennen's Glen," located between the town of Trulee and Farranfore, Ireland.

 

    I learned that stretch of road had a lot of single car fatalities. Over the last 60 years many accidents occurred, and the people who survived all had the same story: They saw a band of soldiers marching across the road as the drivers tried to swerve to avoid them. There were a lot of cars that apparently went off the road and crashed into trees.

   No one has any idea who the soldiers are or why they were marching on that particular road. I couldn't find anything on the internet about soldiers on the Dingle Peninsula or hauntings there that involve soldiers.

Q:    When I told my friend Anne Marie about them she asked: Do you think this is residual energy just repeating itself over and over, or intelligent hauntings causing people to crash their cars?

A:  Those soldiers are just residual haunts. They are an emotional thumbprint of a

traumatic/emotional event (for most of the soldiers I would imagine) and it happens over

and over.

  The reason they appear when people are driving, is that on a dark, backwoods, winding road, when people are driving in the dark, they have anxiety, even fear.

  Because the soliders are a residual energy and its Earth-bound energy, negative emotions like fear, anxiety, etc. that energy "powers up" the residual energy causing it to reappear!

In the News: Mysterious Object In The Space Walk Hall Of Fame Museum Is Caught On Camera

Here's an interesting story and a video of what really appears to be an orb (the most simple form a ghost or spirit can take). An orb can also be distinguished from dust motes, bugs, and reflections because orbs usually have color and/or designs in them, as this one did. This appears to be an orb!
    The report is from Justin Warmoth, reporter at Channel 6 in Titusville, Florida, from May 19, 2015

Mysterious Object In The Space Walk Hall Of Fame Museum Is Caught On Camera

SOURCE: : http://www.jumblejoy.com/museum-ghost?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=women-get-it-free 

     An orb-shaped object very quickly moves into the frame, vanishes then comes back. It is apparently not unusual to have unexplained activity in this museum.

      Charlie Morris, who is president of the museum, says that in both instances the air conditioning and lights are turned off. So, there could be no electrical interference. This is truly unexplainable.

f course, the museum has just moved into a 100 year old building, which used to be the County Records building. Over the years there have been apparently hundreds of sightings of unexplained “encounters”.

No one can explain it. Orbs usually represent ghosts — is it the ghost of early astronauts coming back to see that their objects are being well taken care of? Or did the objects attach themselves to something “in space” while they were there? Is this our first encounter with an alien being?

     Well, no matter what it is, everyone is happy to talk about and give their opinion. Only time will tell if it is intelligent, or just someone poking themselves in to make sure everything is on the up-and-up. What do you think it is?

A Sign from Buzz (a dog) on his Birthday Week!

Spirits of humans or pets like to give us signs around birthdays, anniversaries and holidays, and they can do it in number of ways. Recently I posted a story about a friend who heard her and her late husband's song "Good morning Starshine" on the radio on the date of what would've been their 42nd anniversary. Music is one way spirits let us know they're still connected and still with us from time to time. 

Buzz provides physical proof he's around

SIGNS FROM SPIRITS - Hearing their voice (human or animal); movement of things; smelling their favorite perfume, aftershave, or something related to them - like a cigar; finding coins - especially with a date that relates to them; hearing a song that was their favorite that you rarely hear; getting signs from things in nature like: birds, butterflies or other insects that behave oddly around you. Finding a flower that reminds you of them or seeing something in clouds, etc. Spirits will also lead us to someone that looks like them on a certain day, to remind us they are still connected. The trick is being aware of everything around you so you don't miss something!

PHYSICAL SIGN FROM BUZZ-  During the last week in July, 2015, I received a visible sign from our late dog, Buzz Wyatt confirming that he's still around.  Buzz was born on July 29, 2004, passed on February 2005. 
 
During the week of his birthday in 2015, I received his sign through one of his photos we have hanging in the house. The night before I realized it was a sign, I was the last one to go down the stairs (my hubby and the dogs were in bed), and the photo we have of Buzz was positioned correctly and was horizontal. 

I remember, because every night I look at Buzz's photo and those of our other late dog Sprite, my parents and our friend Ed's photos - all of which line the stairway. All of the photos were horizontal. 

Early the next morning I was the first one upstairs, as I had to get something in my home office (it was before the dogs got upstairs). No one had gone up or down stairs between the time I descended the previous night to the time I ascended the stairs early the next morning, however,  I noticed that out of all the photos on the wall, only Buzz's photo was at an extreme angle.

His photo is too high for any of our dogs to reach, and none of the other photos had been moved.
 
I realized that he was letting me know that 11 years later, he's still around (I sense him around anyway), but he wanted to provide physical proof.

In the News (and video): Ghost Hunt: Mansfield Reformatory

The Toledo Blade recently interviewed and followed a Paranormal group of investigators into the "Mansfield Reformatory" and the group shared their experiences in a short video, and in this article.
WHAT IS THE REFORMATORY? - The Ohio State Reformatory/Mansfield Reformatory is a shuttered prison in Mansfield, Ohio, made famous as the film setting of 1994’s The Shawshank Redemption. It's about 2 hours southeast of Toledo, Ohio and had provided a lot of evidence of the paranormal.  Here's the article- Rob

Ghost Hunt: Mansfield Reformatory

MANSFIELD, Ohio — “... For when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
Enveloped by the disquieting darkness inside a decaying prison cell the size of a large closet, that’s when Friedrich Nietzsche’s famous quote about peering into the soul’s deepest recesses rattled around in my head.
   I was there along with four members of Lake Erie Paranormal, a group of current and retired local law enforcement officers who investigate spectral activity in homes, businesses, and buildings. Along with several others, we were a part of an overnight paranormal “ghost hunt,” if you will, at this supposedly quite haunted facility, which officially closed Dec. 31, 1990.

Do you see the Dog Spirit In this Photo?

I received this photo from a woman who read my book "Pets and the Afterlife" and she said that sees the spirit of a dog in it with her two dogs.
  I also see the dog! It appears to be a west highland terrier to the left of Santa Claus.  Do you see it? 
  The photo was taken with a polaroid camera at Petsmart- so there's no chance of double-imaging. 
  Do you have any ghosts or spirits in any photos? 
   If you're not sure, please send them to me at Rgutro@gmail.com and I'll post them for professional ghost trackers, mediums and readers to weigh in.  - Thanks, Rob
