Tinkerbelle Found after Being Whisked Away by The Wind!


I do believe this is a Chihuahua before being Windswept...I am referring to the "Hot Off The Press" story that Sander B Smith sent in with regard to the chihuahua Tinkerbelle who was returned today to her owners after being swept away by winds.
thank you to B Smith for keeping us well informed here at The Sands...it means a great deal.

Tinkerbelle the Windswept Chihuahua is Found!!!

Wind-tossed chihuahua found safe; owners credit psychic
Candice Williams and Christine Ferretti / The Detroit News
Waterford Township -- Two days after Tinker Bell, a six-pound chihuahua, blew away in high winds at the Dixieland Flea Market, her owners found her safe and sound about three-quarters of a mile away. The Rochester couple credits a pet psychic for the discovery.

"We were shocked when we found her," said Dorothy Utley, 72, Tinker Bell's mother. "You don't know how happy we were. We love her so much."

More than 50 volunteers helped Utley and her husband, Lavern, search for their dog, who blew away in 70 mph per hour winds Saturday.

After speaking with a pet psychic from Holly, Utley said she and her husband headed to a wooded field on the opposite side of Dixie Highway. There, they found Tinker Bell. The black and brown long-haired dog was very dirty and hungry.

"That dog was so happy," Utley said. "She just went wild. She was so hungry and we had to bathe her."

Market Manager Joe Goldberg said the whole event was phenomenal.

"It seems like (the dog) is her whole life," he said of Utley.

Doug, Brian and David at The Pussycats, Dolls and Vixens: An Artists'Tribute To Russ Meyer at M Modern Gallery


Doug flew in from Seattle to spend some time with Brian and David at The Coral Sands...and to see the Pussycats, Dolls and Vixens: An Artists' Tribute to Russ Meyer at M Modern Gallery Hosted by Kitten Natividad who, by the way, was also staying at The Coral Sands.
The show at M Modern was a big success thanks to the teaming of Jay and Mishell Modern, Siouxzan Perry, David Wills and many remarkable artists such as the one pictured here behind the boys in the hood. Ruby was at a party for a Board of The Aids Assistance Program that Ruby sits on, Evening Under The Stars at The O'Donnell Golf Club. A remarkable party under the desert stars that involved an auction and dinner/dance entertained by the phenomenal Mary Wilson (The Supremes)...It was a great success and was extremely well attended and raised alot of money for a cause that all recognize is an important one in the world. Siouxzan Perry captured this wonderful image of the boys superimposed on top of a painting of Tura Satana ( a Sander) Russ Meyer's number one star. All that live here or visit should visit the show...amazing!!!

April and May Bring on The Cactus Blooms at The Coral Sands and throughtout the Valley...This one is a Sander!

Brian Brock and David Staskowski Have Arrived at The Coral Sands from Adrian Michigan...

Brian and David have arrived from Adrian, Michigan...They were married here in September and as you can see continue to be a gleeful duo. They were famished when they arrived and before I could whip out a poopoo platter they were eating the only other piece of something on the property...The Dairy Queen Cone...Yum. We're now grilling ahi and fresh corn on the cobb...Wish you were here.
TaTa for now!

Evening Under The Stars...the BEST EVENT IN THE DESERT...is Saturday night at The O'Donnell Golf Club...Mary Wilson is Singing...


This event (the best event in the desert) is sponsered by the Aids Assistance Program...(Ruby is on the Board) and is for a very worthy cause...providing food vouchers for those living below $18,000 per year with Aids.
Mary Wilson is our guest performer as we dine, dance and drink under the desert stars...Should be a swell night.

Connie Turner is back in the "They Run With Poodles Don't They Suite" tonight with her poodle Jeanine...


Connie is here for Coachella and had hoped to have the energy to go see Paul MaCartney tonight but started reading that Nancy Drew mystery over again from Ruby's gift shop and well...it's Nancy or Paul...Nancy or Paul...
Nancy it is.
So. We'll have to hear from the other guests who will surely bring back the dirt...will Ringo Starr really show up and sing with Paul...and the latest rumor is that Michael Jackson will join them on stage. These rumors often come true...I'm just stayin'.

Kim knows she is always secure with Lola at her side...The Sands own wonderful Yorkihuahua...Lola was a rescue some years ago from Palm Springs own Bath and Brush Grooming Parlor...She came with a bejeweled water bowl and a sack of toys. Her mistress was in her 90s and died on the operating room table. Lola was then orphaned...What a life she has now. She used to be named Fendi...Kind of Palm Springs appropriate to be named after a Hand Bag and a Corporation...
Kim works for Bono.
She has two pugs...she plans to bring them back to The Sands.

The Dinah makes For Creativity with Pool Games What Won't They Think of...


You go Sander Millie Smith...Thinking up the use of two floatation devices to keep your game out of the drink. They played all afternoon and people were careful not to splash them. These girls might be mean if their board got wet. After they enjoy the sun and splash they intend to go to Davey's Hideaway for Crab legs and a martini...Yum...They like the rat pack enviroment and Bob Crowley on the piano...
