Checking the Pound

Kelsey and I went and checked the pound tonight for animals.

There weren't any dogs available , but we did notice a beautiful cat.

Found out the cat has been there since November 19 , and was dropped off in a box.

Kelsey and I are such softies...

Off to find this beauty a home!
We names her Theia- meaning to blossom.

Owners Found!

Buddy is actually SAM.

Sams owners are out of town and the daughter has been looking for him. They were reunited last night. That dog was so excited to go home! It was a cute reunion.

Bye Sammy... be a good boy, ya big moose!

Buddy and his tennis ball

Had to get him a ball today! He loves them!!

Buddy goes for a run!

Took Buddy out with the other dogs. He had fun, but is in no shape to keep up with the other dogs. I also believe with his eyes, he felt the need to stay close. He had a wonderful time today.

Foster Pet #3 Buddy Boy

Meet Buddy.

He is our newest resident.

He is 1 year old, says the vet, but I think he is older. He was found by a local couple and turned into the Humane Society so that we could find his owner. He had a vet check today and will remain with us till the owners are found. If the owners don't claim him in 7 days, we will put Buddy up for Adoption.

He was just recently neutered and unfortunately he has a build up of cholesterol on the eyes. He really is a sweet heart though. Maggie loves playing with him. Tucker who I am positive now is just a wee bit too happy to have other male dogs in the house, loves him ... literally.



He hasn't tried to get up on the furniture, and isn't too fond of being put on the leash, but once on he is ok. He is a vocal boy who when first arrived declared he wasn't to fond of this house. That maybe outside would be more fun, over and over and over. But he has settled down after an hour or so. If you talk to him he talks back to ya. It's pretty cute.

I really feel we will find this dogs owners and he will be reunited. He is just to well taken care of.

10 pm phone call.

Recieved a call last night from the Humane Society.

A dog had been found, the people are renting and can't have a dog, have no food for it, looks like it's been hurt.

Can I go assess the situation and handle it?


I go and take a bucket of food for the dog. Kelsey goes with me. Oh it's also like 5 degrees out.

We show up , and it is a beautiful Male Golden Retriever that has been recently neutered. Still had stitches, and that patch shaved on his paw was for the iv.

They agree to keep him and take him to vet first thing this morning.

I have to go in and talk to them at 8ish about him, but we are sure the vet will know who he belongs too. Which is a good thing because that is one dog i would keep for sure! He was absolutely gorgeous and friendly and loving. My perfect dog in my eyes.

I love this community and the way it takes care of it's animals, it's like a well oiled machine.

Hank gets Adopted!

Congratulation to Ed and Renee for becoming the new owners of our sweet Hanky poo!

He will be missed around here. He really was starting to bond with me and I was able to finally anticipate his way of sitting on my feet and leaning against me without falling over. *giggle*

Hank was an early Christmas gift from Renee to Ed. They came over today and took Hank for a visit to get some time with him. Soon as they returned , they were hooked.

Hank is the only animal in their house so I know he will be spoiled! I even hear he gets to go hunting and fishing and a few road trips are planned!

We wish Renee and Ed all the best with their new family member. They got one hell of a good dog.

Congratulations Missy and Lisa!!!

Missy was the belle of the day yesterday. She had several ladies wanting to take her home.
It was an extremely hard decision for us when it came to picking who would get to take her.
Both offered loving homes. This is the hard part for me. As happy as I am to find Missy a wonderful new life, home and companion, there is still that one person I wasn't able to make happy. I would of loved to be on the look for that perfect pet for the other couple. There are so many dogs out there that need a good home.

What was the deal clincher for me? The grand kids that came to meet Missy. They were so respectful of Missy and of the other dogs in the house. I figured If they had that much respect and love towards animals, I knew they were being raised by loving people. Kids + Dogs = melt my heart.

Missy will be leaving us tonight to go to her new home out in Little Fork with lots of land to run around on.

I also heard there was a shopping spree already for Miss Missy and she has a new bed, new collar, all the treats and food to make her welcome to her new home a real treat.

Hank goes for a run

Today I took the dogs running back at our old land mil area. It's a perfect place for dogs to be dogs and just run free. We have trained our dogs on a certain route that takes them for a good 3 mile run. Today, Hank got to go with us. At first he didn't know what to do with himself, but soon he figured out how to just go with the flow and follow Maggie and Tucker. Missy didn't get to go with us today because she is still young and I don't trust her to run free and come back. Hank did beautifully! He was so fast and you could just see the joy coming from every part of his body as he ran next to our van with Maggie. He is as fast as Maggie and both had us trotting down the road at almost 30mph! A few pit stops at little drinking holes a bit more playing in the big grassy area with Maggie and then back in the van. He was PERFECT!

Cindy already told me she was worried i would want to adopt and keep Hank. ha-ha No. As much as I love this good dog, he needs a bigger home, more space than I have and is really a mans dog. I wouldn't put it past Hank to enjoy beer. LOL Plus I only have room in my bed for Maggie.

I am just honored to have met Hank, and look forward to knowing he will be put in a very loving home for the rest of his years. He deserves it.

Foster Pet # 2 (Missy)

We checked out the pound and this little lady was very timid, and scared half to death to be in "Doggy Jail". We couldn't let her stay there, as she is what I perceive as grade A adoptable material. Soon as she was in the van she started feeling better and releasing some of her anxiety. Now she home with us for the last 24 hours and is showing her true nature. I call it... Sieze the Day and Play it away!! She is a funaholic!! *giggle* This dog loves to play play play and then play some more. Still very young and has many a manner to learn, like no, sit and stay. But she is quick and easy to fall in love with. Happy go lucky gal with life at her paws!

Meet Missy--

Fetch? did someone say fetch? No? can i fetch it anyway and chew on it? got a pen? a toy? a .. a .. A BALL?!?!?! yeah yeah yeah!!! yes give me a ball to play with !!!

Is that bed for me? no? it's your bed? Oh well, what's yours is mine! let me snuggle you, no.. not your feet, let me love you and kiss you and snuggle you... ahhh this is the LIFE!!!

Princess Missy now announcing... I like long walks by the water, I enjoy soft couches, kids with toys, and fuzzy blankets to roll in.

I am turned off by loud noises, people who raise thier hands at me and anything that looks like you might want to hit me with it.

I may be a blond chick but I have the memory of an elephant. I remember the bad, but it hasn't spoiled my attitude if your a loving person.

I don't mind children as long as they aren't toddlers, I need some respect from everyone I live with, and will give it in return.

Plan on having a full life with me, because I am only a year old! young, strong and willing to walk you to the bathroom every chance i get! OH and follow you to the kitchen the bedroom, the closet, outside, inside, everywhere you go, you can trust me to "have your back"

Ciao !!!

Missy is scheduled to be spayed on Dec 5th 2008. She will be available soon for adoption.

Foster Pet #1 (Hank)

Our first of hopefully many dogs.

They call me Hank. I am a good old boy dog that is still able to sire those young pups. I enjoy a nice comfortable dog bed over any couch. Cat food is a delicacy I try to take advantage of even if you put it up high. I have a few tricks up my sleeve like sit, stay and up. And if you say no I know what that means and go away happily wagging my tail to tell ya, ”Ok you caught me” with a bit of a shrug.I am also pretty skilled at drinking out of the toilet with the lid down. Yep! I know how to use my nose to lift, drink and let the lid quietly close again.

I have very soft ears and they say I have sweet lips at this home. I think that means that my lips are sort of big and when I drink it leaves a nice watery trail. Of course the fun part is drinking and then shaking my head back and forth. I get the most reaction of excitement from these humans when I do that! I’m pretty sure they like it!

Cats and other dogs don’t even faze me, and the teenagers at this home want me to play with “babies” but I can do without the toys. I’m a pretty healthy dog for around 4 or 5 years old. I have a bit of white on my muzzle, Just enough to show some character for my years.

Hank is due to be neutered on Dec 5th 2008.
