My actress friend Jewell Lain called me today from a nursing home in North Hills, California. She had been in the hospital over the weekend as she fell and broke her leg last week. In addition to falling and breaking the leg, she lay on the ground for a full two days before anyone found her!
Needless to say, she is not a happy camper. Her dog, Bon Vivant, is at her little house/apt and someone is evidently checking on him each day and giving him food. My concern is that in a worst case scenerio of Jewell not being able to return home, what will happen to her dog. I have my friend Jerry Lee, who lives in Silverlake, getting the word out down there for someone who can keep the dog either for the short term or for the long term.
I worry that if something should happen to Jewell that the dog would end up at the pound, and being an old dog he might get put down. My understanding is that the pounds in Southern California are filled to capacity. Bon Vivant is such a wonderful, well behaved animal.
