SAMMY & WALLY - Soul Dogs "HANG ON"

2 Lucky Rescue Dogs, SAMMY & WALLY... Livin' The Good Life!



This video is dedicated to
Kyle Schwab,
Smashface Rescue
& The Perfect Pit.

Animal Humanitarian, Kyle Schwab, has a self funded rescue foundation for abused and neglected Mastiffs, American Bulldogs, and Pit Bulls. This is his 17th year of tirelessly working to save, care for, and find loving homes for these precious creatures.

Currently, Kyle has taken on three dogs who have suffered severe cases of abuse and neglect. He is asking for donations in any denomination. Every little bit helps. The three dogs are fostering at his facility, and get around the clock care.
In this economy it's tough just getting by, but these dogs really need your help. Kyle has exhausted his every penny, and they are only half way through their recovery.

Sage: Neapolitan Mastiff 6-8 years old.

Sage is emaciated, has the onset of cataracts, and is hard of hearing. She is one of the sweetest dogs to enter the program in 17 years! Sage was shot four times, once in each leg. One bullet struck her forearm, one ripped off her pad on the opposite front leg, one shot to the rear thigh, and the last shot blew off one of her rear toes. She is making a slow and steady recovery at my facility. Sage was shot when an LAPD officer was too lazy to wait for Animal Control to corral her. The other dog with her was shot and killed. When Kyle tried to obtain the police report, he was threatened with being arrested if he did not leave the station.

Rose: Dogue De Bordeaux 12-14 months old.

This girl has one of the most severe cases of Demodectic Mange I have ever seen. The fact that her owners neglected her for such a long period of time, and for it to get to this point, she must have sat in this condition for the last eight to ten months with no treatment; because of this she has a secondary bacterial infection in her lympathic system, in two of her mammary glands, and a goiter growing in her neck. These are all symptoms of a compromised immune system. She's had her tear duct gland rupture and is unable to see out of her left eye. As if all this wasn't bad enough, she is fighting off a nasty case of pneumonia. Rose will also need upper and lower eyelid surgery. In addition she has a severe yeast infection in her ears and on her paws. All this can be attributed to her previous owners lack of care.

Pinky: Red Nose Pitbull.

Pinky is also suffering from a severe case of demodetic mange and sunburn. She is at Kyle's facility undergoing treatment and recovering nicely, but being a red nose Pit, may linger in the program for an indefinite period of time. Kyle has exhausted all his financial resources, including his savings, so he is asking the public for help. These girls are just midway through their rehabilitation and healing process.

David Carradine & The Cosmic Rescue Team @ The Iridium NYC 2006

A Precious Memory of the Powerful Music & Magical Spirit of Barefoot Legend... DAVID CARRADINE

Saturday, May 29, 2010

David Carradine's Song "BUTTERFLY" flies with Sharon Benson's Butterfly

David Carradine's song "BUTTERFLY" - Recorded Live with David Carradine & The Cosmic Rescue Team (aka Soul Dogs) at The Conscious Life Expo, Friday the 13th of February 2009, accompanies Sharon Benson's Butterfly Slide Show with Photos by Linda Sherlin. The Band: David Carradine, Sharon Benson, Bobby Carradine, Leslie Daniel, CJ III, Benjamin Lein (http://www.souldogs.com)

The Story: On the morning of June 8th, 2009, almost exactly 1 month to the date of Spirit Brother DC's passing, Sammy the pup brought a gift, dropped it on the patio and began to bark. Sharon came out and saw this precious creature, curled and wet, and trying to unfold it's wings. She carefully picked it up and immediately it's tiny feet grabbed hold of her finger. It hung there, began to relax, and for over an hour and a half, the drying process took place. Little by little the beautiful Swallowtail Butterfly gained the strength to move it's wings, open and closed, and was eventually strong enough to climb up, stand, and exercise it's wings. Eventually... It happily flew away. Sharon felt David's presence throughout the entire experience.

TRIBUTE To WATER - Celebrates....... WORLD WATER DAY - MARCH 22, 2010

World Water Day is TODAY, Monday, March 22ND, 2010. Today, and every day, it is crucial to acknowledge the global water and sanitation crisis that effects thousands of people every single day, all over the world. Many World Water Day events are taking place globally. No matter where we are in the world, we can help to bring awareness to World Water Day AND help Protect Our Planet's Precious WATER... Everyday!

This Slide Show Tribute, with Lake Balboa Photos by Linda Sherlin and Sharon Benson's song "WATER" as backing music (Water song lyrics below), was created to raise awareness that WATER IS LIFE. Lake Balboa was created out of farm land in the early 1990s in San Fernando Valley CA, as a recreational park, with abundant fish, birds, mature flowering trees and scenic open and covered picnic areas.The lake is supplied with water from the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, operated by the city's Bureau of Sanitation. Being that WATER is really our most precious commodity, protecting our planet's water supply seems to be a topic that must be addressed."WATER", was the opening song for the 2008 Martha's Vineyard International Film Festival screening of FLOW:For Love of Water - with live Native American Flute accompaniment by water author, William Waterway Marks, who is also featured in FLOW (FLOW: For Love Of Water). WATER Slide Show by Sharon Benson & inspired by William Waterway Marks, http://www.watervoices.com and his tireless effort to raise awareness about the need to protect Our Planet's water supply.

WATER Song Lyrics. Please feel free to sing along...

Music & Lyrics By Sharon Benson

WATER

Chorus:
Water................................... ............
Water................................... ........
Water................................... ...........
Water......................Nectar of life.

Creation began in a swirling sea of water.
All of our continents joined by water.
We enter this world protected by water. Water...................Blessing of life.

We drink, we bathe, we heal with water.
We travel from place to place by water .
We fill our mouths with food from water. Water...................Blessing of life.

(Chorus)

Its time to wake up, see what were doing.
Dumping, polluting, a sin to the One.
The One who nurtures and cleans our being.............
Without water....nothing will grow.

The most precious gift in our world is water.
Everything living resides within water.
The fruits of our life wouldnt be without water.........
Without water.....nothing will grow.

(Chorus)

The stars, the sun, the moon speak to water. Nature evolves with the essence of water.
Our time on this planet depends on our water. Water.....................Essence of life.

Water conductor of energy. Giving birth to you and me.
Lets sing Water For All........All For Water! Water.......................Essence of life.

(Chorus)

Water.............Precious Water.........Crystal Clear Water..............Blessing of Life ...................
Nectar of Life......................Water Is Life................... Water Is Life

3/22 World Water Day, http://bit.ly/WJOPVfor details Pete Seeger, Sharon Benson, Sheryl Crow sing for H2O. Save a drop and spread the word

Here are some Ways to Protect Water Quality - Clean Water suggestions from UN-Water:

Clean water is the focus of World Water Day 2010. It's important that we each do our part to prevent pollution and protect our water. All it takes are a few small steps to make a big impact when it comes to water quality and sustainability.

-Sweep my driveway, sidewalk, gutters, and patio, instead of hosing them down

-Pick up pet's waste

-Properly dispose of household chemicals using hazardous collection sites when possible

-Find a "green" car wash that reuses the water instead of hosing down my car in the driveway or on the street

-Not litter or pour anything down storm drains

-Not use harmful pesticides and to use fertilizers sparingly

-Not throw my yard and garden clippings in the trash but to compost them

-Participate in city planning by voting for plans with "Low Impact Development"
