Because They Need Us

April 26, 2015 by Ogee

It has been a hard week. To lose not one – but two – of our long-time rescue residents and the companion of a devoted volunteer as well. Balou was a special boy who never got over the loss of his human. He was profoundly sad, with trust and mental health issues. He was beautiful, deep and unpredictable, and so we knew he would be staying with us. He felt safe here. Reacher was adorable and adored. Imagine a gigantic […]

The Comfort We Bring

April 19, 2015 by Ogee

“In almost every garden, the land is made better and so is the gardener.” ~ Robert Rodale We created and keep the Memorial Garden as a gift to the dogs we love and have loved – and for those who dedicate so much to our rescue effort. Three chance encounters this week reminded me that the work we do at Homeward Bound not only makes life better for the dogs, but provides important comfort to humans as well. A woman […]

I Spy

April 17, 2015 by Ogee

I spy something in the meadow. Sometimes you have to look very closely … And sometimes, they just come rushing to greet you – like my buddy Noah, who I see fairly often. I love my workday walks on the trail behind our offices. I never know who, or what, I’ll meet. Today I spied Presley and Sienna. I almost mistook Presley for a Jack Rabbit. Presley, it turns out, is on his third home. He started as an apartment […]

New Additions

April 12, 2015 by Ogee

April showers bring … April flowers. In abundance. The garden is in full bloom making my early morning arrival extra special. “An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” ~ Henry David Thoreau Last week: five long-term residents went home. This week: five arrived in one day. Plus three more for good measure throughout the week. The universe seeks balance, I guess. No rest for the weary. We have a new addition to the garden: a beautiful bird […]

Promises Kept

April 5, 2015 by Ogee

It wasn’t a lot … but it was something … and in our current state of drought, we are grateful for anything. Just after all the dogs were walked, dark skies turned to a quick downpour – with the promise of more on Tuesday. Every drop and every cool day extends our hope for the garden (which looks lush and full in spring) to survive another California summer. “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” […]
