lindaru Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Diane Spiehler was a huge supporter of the spay/neuter projects and a friend to all animals at lakeside prior to her death. The picture below is of her pets. If you can help us find them homes, it would be a blessing to all! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevator Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 She must have had a big heart and I'm sure her critters will miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBearII Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 10 dogs and one cat??? POOR cat. And how is it that she managed to accumulate 10 dogs? If she made no provision for their future, she was not "saving" them except during the time she had them. I hope they are lucky and find good homes.

Natasha Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just another of the far too many examples of people who love their pets and do right by them, EXCEPT be sure to make provision for them in the event of the inevitable. Wake up people! WE ALL die. Often our pets will outlive us. MAKE ARRANGEMENTS NOW for their continued care in whatever manner you can. But please don't kid yourself -- your friends will not be willing a/o able to automatically step in and take them over. (Yes, we have made arrangments for all of our dogs and cats.) And I hope homes are found for all these sweethearts very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 This thread was started to help find homes for well-loved animals whose owner suddenly died. Friends HAVE stepped in to care for the animals and help find homes for them. That is what the post is about. If you have no help to offer but want to judge a dead woman and lecture the rest of us, please start a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no help to offer but want to judge a dead woman and lecture the rest of us, please start a new thread. Thank you Xena. I was appalled when a read "those" posts. Thank you so much for saying something. We do what we can. I have many friends that have large "families". We all know we are gonna die. Some sooner some later. Thank God for the people that try and improve the lives of many of the abandoned street dogs and cats. The gift of love will always remain with these animals. If they survive their owner so be it. Who could begrudge them that love and peace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivien Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I believe the Chihuahua has a new home. Can anyone help with the bigger dogs please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Judging Diane was NOT the point. Using the situation her animals find themselves in was..... and the post was intended as a wake-up to the rest of you out there that have not thought ahead and made provision for "the day". And I repeat, I hope all of her babies that still need homes are placed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes, post life planning for our pets is an important topic. It deserves its own thread. Meanwhile, back on topic: Can someone provide an update on which of Diane´s dogs still need homes? And, what about the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 A couple of updates. You can also call Elaine 331 225 8072 or Peter 331 323 0893 for more information. I went by Dr. Borrego’s office in the Pet Store next to Soriana to see the little Jack Russell Terrier. He has calmed down but will always be high energy due to the breed. Dr. Borrego says he is about 5 years old and is still understandably upset over Diane's death. He is #1 in the poster above and would make a perfect companion for the right person.

lindaru Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Bless you all! I am thrilled to see these sweet animals being adopted. Way to go, lakeside!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am totally confused but that is nothing unusual. I went by Dr Borrego's (pet store, grooming shop & Vet next to Soriana). Dr Marcos said the white poodle like dog has been adopted. They have the Jack Russell Terrier, #1 on the earlier chart; a small white & brown terrier mix (a real sweetie BTW) #9 on the earlier chart; and what looks to be the older Border Collie mix marked #6 on the earlier chart and supposed to be adopted????
