Harborfront Hospital for Animals

There have been times -- only every other day or so -- in the last year when we've wondered if Tommy Pickles would EVER fulfill his contract and do the job he was HIRED to do; Chief Comforter.

Then this happened.

"He's been curled up the entire time she's been recovering from her procedure," the owner told us.

And the clinic staff breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, it's true that the next day he got his head caught inside Dr. Emily's lunch bag, tore through the clinic then bit the hand that was trying to help him but . . . baby steps.

Gee, we hate to celebrity name drop.

But, we will. ;)

Over the years, HHFA has provided care to a number of "pets to the stars."

Years ago, we took care of a dear little St. Bernard pup who starred in a sequel to a big time movie by the name of, hmm, it was some famous composer . . .

And the dog relative of a renowned children's book author who wrote a Christmas story about a train and a little boy and Santa and, a bell, visited the clinic as well.

There is an entire wall in the clinic devoted to photos of the scores of canine officers who have received care at HHFA -- many of them have stuffed toys and trading cards.

And now . . . there is Gerti.

Gerti is the charming and much beloved rescue pup of USA Today bestselling author Wade Rouse and his husband Gary Edwards and sees Dr. Moore for all her dental care.

She's now been immortalized in a line of prints and greeting cards just in time for this holiday -- we think the artist did a fantastic job capturing her sweet disposition.

There's actually an entire, fun, line of holiday products.

Wade and Gary do SO much to support rescue animals and have been owned by many throughout the years. Any support is appreciated.
