I am an American Staff Mix and I was rescued by my dad back in 2004. Since then my dad has gotten married and recently had a baby boy, whose 3 months old. The baby has the beginning of respiratory problem and my shedding doesn’t help him. Sadly my dad and step-mom have decided to find me a new home.

I’m 7 years old and weigh 60 pounds. I am an excellent dog if I do say so myself, I am smart, fully potty trained, am mellow and great with kids (except for my shedding). I am ok with other dogs if you have one in the home but prefer to be the only child to avoid issues.

My only fault is that I shed, which I cannot control. I am neutered, have all my shots, a microchip and am licensed. I follow simple commands like; sit, beg, down, stay, if you say inside I go to my bed/crate and I even shake hands. I love playing fetch and I have an affinity for tennis balls. I am a loyal and faithful companion.

If you want to meet please call my dad at 917-568-3500 or email him at                                     wander718@gmail.com

There is NO fee for Petey, we just want him to be well cared for and loved.

Your future best friend,

Petey

Musicians constantly face difficulty traveling with their instrument. Although AFM won a commitment from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to allow instruments through security checkpoints, policies for carrying instruments on to airplanes still vary wildly from airline to airline.

The inconsistencies in airline policies make it extremely difficult for musicians to plan their travel and earn a living. Thus AFM fought for language to be included in the Senate version of the FAA Reauthorization Bill (S.1451) that will streamline the airlines’ carry-on policies regarding musical instruments. If this bill passes musicians will be able to carry most musical instruments on board and place them in the overhead compartment or in a seat (if a ticket is purchased).

This bill is currently being debated in Congress and it is critical that all musicians weigh-in to demand that the Senate version (S.1451) of this language be included in the final bill. Please sign our petition below to support streamlining airline carry-on policies, so that travelling with an instrument is safer and more reliable.

Please sign this petition to demand that the language included in S.1451 is included in the final version of the FAA Reauthorization Bill.

Help Our Team in the Fight Against MS!

On May 22, 2010 I will be for the second time cycling 50 miles in the National MS Society, Mid-Jersey Chapter’s 19th annual “Coast the Coast” MS Bike Tour to help fight the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. Nearly 3,000 cyclists and volunteers will participate in this exciting event.

The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to diminish, nor will it stop, until we’ve found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.

We’ve formed a team for the MS Bike Tour because we know that riding 50 miles is nowhere near as difficult as confronting a lifetime with multiple sclerosis. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society gives us all reason to hope, though. In addition to supporting novel research projects around the globe, they also provide much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS – including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them.

Friends and I will be riding for my wife Laurie and our dear friend Joe Esteves. As you are probably aware, the illness hit us close to home when Laurie was diagnosed not long ago. We were devastated at first but now are determined to manage it as best as possible and also to help others afflicted by it. My personal goal is to raise $7,500 in sponsorships for this exciting event. With your help, I hope to make a difference in the lives of those living with MS.

Join our team as a cyclist or a volunteer! Make a donation online! Send in a check! Talk to your employer about becoming a sponsor of the MS Bike Tour! There are so many ways to make a difference in the fight against MS, and it all begins right here.

To send a check, please make it out to National Multiple Sclerosis Society and mail it to me at
