Orangedog

Last Friday Kevin,  along with Daisy (his faithful white Lab),  flew into Edmonton with Jan Folk and friends for our concert at Big Valley Jamboree.  You probably don’t know Jan – but – she is the visionary, the philanthropist, and the founder of Orangedog. She’s from Edmonton, Canada and just recently happened to fly 140 homeless dogs from Orange County, California in a private jet to Edmonton and then found homes for all of them except one.  That one was adopted by the pilot of the plane before it got to Edmonton. And….that wasn’t the first time she flew little dogs in a private jet from O to E.  Kevin is a big time supporter of Jan and her cool idea…  Do your research online and see what an incredible story it is.

Edmonton has a shortage of small dogs and Orange County has a surplus – so much of a surplus that they are killing dogs by the second down there because there are not enough homes for them. We all know the story….cute little puppy….. but too much to handle when the puppy becomes a living dog who needs walking and feeding and time to poop and a little love. Well, Jan convinced the sweet-hearted owner of a private jet company (the kind of company that flies rich people around the world)  to use his down time to help stray dogs from Southern Cal live a full and meaningful life with someone in Edmonton who is freezing his or her ass off in the long winters with no one to love and cuddle in the long cold nights  (as opposed to the Long Hot Nights down in Tucson where the only thing you want to cuddle is an ice cube or a wet sheet).  The airline company is Global Exec Aviation run by Ramon Manriquez. Try them out sometime when you are SICK AND TIRED OF AIRLINES WHO KEEP LOSING YOUR BAGGAGE AND YOUR GUITARS AND SOMETIME EVEN LOSING YOURSELF!  Global Exec might be a little pricey for a trip to see Grandma in Columbus, Ohio for the weekend….. but, Ramon’s got a heart of gold. That’s the way people should use their money!  Don’t you wish there were more people around like Jan, Ramon, and Kevin?

Modern Westerners love dogs, cats, snakes, rodents, bugs, spiders, horses, cows, buffaloes, alligators etc……………

See You Around……Sometime
