Bur-dee here. We got a lot of negativity about our fundraiser to expand, so we cancelled it and issued refunds to anyone who wanted one. I was sad to see so many negative remarks, and as it stands, we will just limit our numbers and likely raise prices to move Kamp Ham. Call me sad Burd.
 This could be on your car... Bur-dee here. Today, I am asking for a bit of help from you kind people. This is hard considering we are Texans through and through and we really don't like asking for help. ;-)
In the last few years Kamp Ham has grown and grown; like me we are no longer a wee baby Burd. We have looked for a larger place to set up Kamp and found one with a cute house and lots of land to run. Loans are hard to come by if you work for yourself, though, even if you are as cute as me. Here is where we need your help. Indiegogo is a crowdfunding source where people can back projects they like with perks or rewards given as a thank you. There are some pretty neat perks for you...from Kamp stickers to swag bags with surprises in them to even having lunch with me! Now how can anyone resist spending time with cute little me? Those who fund at higher levels will be permanently remembered in our new facility which is pretty cool. If you can help us, it would be most appreciated....and you could score lunch with me. And the launch party will be fabulous. If you can't fund us, share us. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/small-dog-paradise-kamp-ham-relocation-project/x/10434703#/ XOXO, Bur-dee Bur-dee here. Hope everyone had a wonderful howliday season. I have been a busy Burd but I have something on my mind. Hearts everywhere for Valentine's day got me thinking about mosquitoes and heartworms. I know the weather is whack lately, and mosquitoes are the last things on peoples' minds but we need to talk. Here in Texas it rarely gets cold enough to kill them; one warmish day and they are swarming. For dogs, they are death from above because they carry the dreaded heartworms. 
Heartworms are sure not as friendly as they sound. They get into our blood through mosquito bites and live in our bodies. They lodge in our hearts and grow. And grow. And grow. And kill us. Here are some pictures from a 5 year old dog. I am not sure of his fate but from these pictures he is probably at the Rainbow Bridge. :-( If it is not too late they can be killed by a very expensive medicine that is harsh on us; many do not survive treatment. If we do, we have to be locked in a crate for 4-8 WEEKS to make sure dead worms don't cause strokes.
Luckily, for around the price of one measly Starbucks a month, there is medicine that keeps those ugly worms from growing. Heartgard is inexpensive and has kept me healthy for 2.5 years and will keep me healthy the rest of my life. I don't want those nasty worms. Make it easy, pick a day that is easy to remember like the 1st or 15th and give us heartworm preventative every month. Don't forget and keep us safe and happy. We will love you forever for that. XOXO, Bur-dee |
