Ellen, I have two rescue pets that have recently acquired hot spots. I have done everything possible to relieve them of the torment of their itching. Their food has been changed to a very expensive diet. I give then Benadryl, cleanse them daily and brush them frequently. They both wear lampshade hoods daily and needless to say they are miserable. I have seen a Vet and they have suggested numerous solutions at a very high cost which I frankly cannot afford. Checking the net about this skin condition seems to contradict itself in many ways and does not give me any answers as to what I can do without having to spend large amounts of money through Vet testing.

They are both wonderful dogs (Charlie is a Sheppard/Collie mix and Jack is a pure-bred Australian Herding Dog). We love them dearly, but we are at our wits-end as to what do do.

Is there a possibility that we could get professional advice regarding this exasperating situation from a Vet that you might know who would be willing to correspond with me as to how to get Jack and Charlie back to normal. Up until two months ago, they were perfectly normal, happy animals and they need that back, they deserve it.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Judith

Hey Ellen,
You need to send your little stunt boy down to San Diego on Nov. 14th for the first annualy Burrito Run. This is put on by a company called Silly San Diego in an effort to raise money for World Vision. All he has to do, is run two miles, eat a larg burrito and run two miles back. It's really hard to do, but it's really funny to watch. Visit our event on facebook by looking up Silly San Diego or visit our web page, sillysandiego.com.

Hey Helen,

Fisrt I love you! Everyone does of course, and you know that. I have been watching you since I came to live in North America (7 years now). I didn't speak well English (I am French speaking). You have always made my evenings and I have been thinking about that maybe I can visit you city and sneak around your Elen building and wave when you get out or in. In some years, I will make it for sure.
But in the mean time why don't you send me an Helen t-shirt? I will tell my co-workers that I am not that silly african girl... since Helen can send me her signature! But they can still say that I made it myself. Oh, I like purfum, and the Mariah Carey perfume will be perfect for me since you don't have yours yet! I am waiting, and love to you and your crew!

Jacqueline.
Need my adress? You already have my e-mail ask me for it and I will be more than happy to give you my address for shipping my Helen t-shirt. Oh wow, I forgot underware! Do you thing the package will be havy? I promise to pay for the shipping. I wonder if I have to pay for the customs? Anyways, I am waiting.

Dear Ellen,I wanted to tell you about what has happened to me and my family. It all started when my girlfriend of 3 years and I were living a quiet life here in Indidapolis, Indiana,and some of our kids needed to move back home because of finacial problems.We rented a big house for all 9 of us to live in and split the bills which would be easier on all of us. After living there 2 months a next door neighbor set our house on fire at 5am we were all sleeping,my oldest daughter woke up and started screaming FIRE luckly we all got out in time,the neighbor was leaning up against his fence smoking a cig. and he would not call 911,he just had a smirk on his face like he was proud of what he did,he even told the arson dective how the fire was started with gas pored on our porch swing.He never was arrested for this crime,they said they did not have enough evidence to charge him. The company we rented the house from came over that morning and told us not to worry they were going to give us another place to stay. The red cross put us in a motel for 3 nights and that was all there allowed to do for us.We called the rental co.and asked them where were going to live and they said they did not have a place for us to live. We then asked them to give us our deposit back so we could look for a place with.They said they could not do that,my daughter called them from outside and asked if they had any 4 bedroom places availble to rent they said yes.They did not have a place for us because we were victims of a hate crime and they did not want to rent to us.We are almost 50 years old and our kids except Val and I being together, and its not like we were advertising about our lifestyle. We were just two moms trying to help our kids out.The man didnt even know our names.I dont understand why someone could be so hateful,and want 9 people to die for his joy. We have since found a place and so far no problems with hate. I am out of work due to a foot surgery and decided to write you,I love your show and you are an inspration to all of us. Your new friend Karen Champagne ...

Hi Ellen, I have been trying to find a way to send you a copy of a couple of letters I sent to a guy from church that concerns my being a gay male or a homosexual. I Opened up to him about the truth about my self because he lead me to believe that is was safe to do so? And now that I did, I am now suffering from real bad repercussions for doing so. He had apparently went out to a party one Saturday Night, and got high on drugs and alcohol and told all his Straight Red Necked Hill Billy Friends about me, apparently telling them that I was trying to come on to him, and that I was making passes at him and that I was trying to strike up a homosexual relationship with him. Please Ellen, you need to read these letters so you can get a complete picture of what had happened. I personally feel that this issue is extremely important to
share this with you, to show you just how far we have progressed in life. I have also notified the President "Obama" about this issue, now that he has personally become involved in the issue of gay bashing in which a sixteen year old boy was killed because he was gay. President Obama is going to or all ready signed into law that makes a hate crime, locally a felony, is now a Federal Hate Crime, punishable buy a possible sentence
of Life In Prison? I think this is one more notch in our belts for homosexuals... Yes, If you are interested in getting a copy of these letters, let me know how I can E-Mail them to you. It's an Awsome story, I promise you. I am now currently getting involved with the Gay Community in Fresno CA. Please let me know, one way or another, if you would be interested in my story??? Until Then.... My Best Regards......... Anthony Alvarez.

Hello Ellen;
Just wanted to share fundraiser I've started for
daughter who is stuck in Thailand due to Gov't red tape. site is www.giveforward.org/HelpadoptWassana No organization will donate to individuals causes, not even the Dave Thomas Foundation. We are single income family and have spent over sixty thousand dollars fighting USCIS and US Embassy over this adoption. I've run out of money and I've been out of work 2 1/2 months due to spinal surgery and won't return till late November. We need to complete adoption before paperwork is no longer valid. If you or members of your staff have frequent flier miles with Delta Airlines and would care to donate to our fundraiser, we would be greatful. Gift of money is great also. Neither my wife nor I have extended family to fall back on for help. So please check out this site. www.giveforward.org/HelpadoptWassana
