Growing Through Dirt

June 28, 2015 by Ogee

Sometimes you just have to tackle unpleasant challenges head on. Since I began volunteering with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, I have successfully managed to avoid being directly involved in an owner surrender. Until this morning. Arriving early to garden before the temperature got too warm, I found two women waiting – and a dog. From the look on their faces, I knew the reason for their visit. With no one else available, I drew the short straw. Serves me […]

Of Diamonds and Pebbles

June 21, 2015 by Ogee

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore For anyone who has every passed up a dog of eight or nine, or even ten years of age out of concern that their days or years are numbered, I’d like you to meet Hunter…age 16! He’s one of a boatload of dogs who recently arrived – and despite the snowy face and slower gait, he’s got a lot of life and love to give. For […]

Because We Are Family

June 14, 2015 by Ogee

Lucy and Minnie came to visit recently. Lucy was a breeder dog; completely unsocialized and terrified of her own shadow – much less people. She was helped by many, but by one person in particular: Chris spent countless hours helping Lucy learn to trust and seek out humans. I’ve written about Chris and her husband, Steve, before. Devoted volunteers; for as long as I have been with the organization, they have commuted a great distance to stay over weekends so […]

What Matters

June 7, 2015 by Ogee

A previous adopter wrote: “Today was a sad day. We lost our beloved Buddy…he was 15 years old. We knew when we adopted him almost two years ago that he wouldn’t live long because at that time he was 13. We moved a month ago to the ocean…we wanted him to have a place where he could enjoy himself. He did. Buddy was my golden-oldie, through and through. We fell in love with him when we first met him at […]
