EOW and Rescue

Our WV friends are having a problem blogging right now because their satellite is down. We recently did a post on voting for their favorite rescue and we were about to do one on another voting request for them. This seems like a good time to help them out. And there is no sign-up, just straight click and vote.

The NASCAR vote is very important to the Bumpass Hounds. So we decided to post this in their own words -- with their permission, of course.

END OF WATCH - MEMORIAM
Hey Hounders,

Our sissy Sarah, and her Husband, Da Beel, are both polices. Sissy is a canine handler. You may have seen our posts of her bomb sniffing dog, Aldo, playing with our own blind guy, Radar. They is both Golden Retrievers but of the red variety. Well, sissy had a very close friend who was a Virginia State Trooper. Virginia State Trooper Jessica J Cheney was killed when hit by a car on Rte 1 in Stafford County, VA. Jessica was doing her job. Her "End Of Watch" (EOW) was 1/17/1998. So here's the deal, the Toyota Racing Group (please disregard any "recall" thoughts) that supports the National Association for Stock Car Automotive Racing (NASCAR) is having a contest where one of their cars will be painted in a special design scheme for a race. Well there is a design that is a memoriam for Trooper Jessica. We'd like y'all to go to the Toyota Racing site at http://www.sponsafier.com/#/gallery/view/120029 and vote for Trooper Jessica's memorial design. If you select the 3D view you'll be able to see Jessica's name and EOW date on the hood of the car. It doesn't cost anything and you can vote every day for the next 13 days; so please vote from as many different computers as you have access to. We would certainly appreciate it very, very much. Sissy misses Jessica, who was robbed of her life in the line of duty at such a young age.

As we write this on Wednesday evening, there are only 6 days left to vote, so please invest a few moments each day to go over and vote for the NASCAR design in Jessica's memory. She gave her life to protect and serve.

We posted about voting for their favorite rescue group at the end of February, so we're just going to reprint what we wrote -- yep, we wrote this part ourselves.

Our friends The Bumpass Hounds have been asking everyone who doesn't have a favorite shelter entered into the Shelter Challenge at the Animal Rescue Site to please vote for a rescue they are very involved with, the one that saved their newest member, a blind pup they named Radar -- Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue & Sanctuary in Capon Bridge, WV.
