Cloudy’s Birthday Bash!

Cloudy great dane

Happy 11th Birthday Cloudy!

Hiya Pupsters!

We’re having a Barkday Bash (aka Birthday Party) online for Cloudy! He’s turning a whopping pawmazing 11 years old! In dog years,that’s purdy old, not to mention for a great dane, so we’re hoping to get him 111 Birthday cards from around the world! Can you help us make it happen fur hims??

We worked with a local great dane rescue to pull him out of a dingy shelter as an underweight malnourished hospice case. He was very underweight and sleeping on a small cold concrete shelter floor. Two years later he’s still with us as a permanent foster, thriving and loving life. He wuvs nylabones, treats, and soft beds and blankies! He’s starting to show signs of aging with some bone deterioration and arthritis, so we needs your help to keep him strong, healthy and pain free!

Let’s celebrate fur a week and show him how much we wuvs him! You can send a barkday card or visit his wish list!

♥ SurpriseMilk

Mailing Address:

Cloudy
c/o My Name Is Milk
PO Box 1724
Folly Beach, SC 29439

Any bones received in barkday cards (appawciated but never ever required!) will go towards his ongoing vet care! His wishlist includes mostly things needed fur his health, but Cloudy wuvs stuffies, chew toys, antlers, blankies, nylabones, and organic/limited ingredient treats.
