16 THE NEW BARKER www.TheNewBarker.com letters On chance meetings with fellow dog lovers. Thank you so very, very much for the great pictures and your inclusion of our family in The New Barker. Lacy and Ed appear just as they should - best of friends doing their favorite thing in the world: fish- ing together. Although I thank the Lord every day for my dogs, when I read your article I was reminded how truly blessed both parties are in a “rescue” relationship.Who would have ever imagined that Lacy would end up spending her days on Palm Sola Bay fishing until she can no longer stand up? And Ed and me beaming every time we see her wagging tail, which by the way, is every waking hour of every single day. My geriatric chocolate Lab Belle is getting sweeter by the day and took a dip in our pool just yesterday. I hope the new year brings you, your husband and doggies many blessings, good health and much happiness. Carol Sanders Bradenton Thank you for your patience between magazines. We recently subscribed to The New Barker and received our first issue.We are anxiously awaiting our second issue.We love the magazine and are in withdrawal without it. George W. Ponte Vedra We read about it in The New Barker. A few months back, The New Barker ran a contest where we could post pictures of our pups with a vodka brand that was new to my husband and I. So we had fun with it. We bought a big bottle of Tito’s Homemade Vodka to do the pictures with and soon found out how much we really enjoyed their product. We loved that it was for “dog people” and saw how much Tito’s supports their community and our canine compan- ions.We also appreciated that it was made in Austin,Texas. So thankful for companies like Tito’s that give back.The dog commu- nity is a strong one and we are so happy to have found Tito’s. We are now loyal customers! Lynne Tonte Wesley Chapel Pet parents travel for care not convenience. I grew up in South Tampa and as a little girl, I remember my mom always taking our pets to see Dr. Garcia atVeterinary Medical Clinic on Henderson. I live in St.Petersburg now with my husband, a young daughter and our pets. I still go toVeterinary Medical Clinic and wouldn’t trust my pets with any- one else.Thank you to The New Barker for recognizing Dr. Garcia and having him on yourVeterinary Advisory Board. Krissi M.
