Puppy Pop Quiz

November 29, 2015 by Ogee

Sugar and spice…and everything nice. Except the poop. Puppies are adorable. It is hard not to fall in love with each and every one. But matching the right puppy to the right family makes all the difference for dog and human. Our latest brood was delivered by Lady Edith. She has gone to her new family and will have her long-awaited eye surgery this week. Her pups are all spoken for; their anxious families wait. But before we send them […]

Giving Thanks for You

November 26, 2015 by Ogee

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. For flowers that bloom about our feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee! ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson I share this poem each Thanksgiving, as a reminder of all that we have […]

Fall Has Its Own Flowers

November 25, 2015 by Ogee

Fall has its own flowers; instead of sprouting from the ground, they fall from the sky. Fiery and bold, delicate and whispy, gaudy gum drops hanging perilously from trees disrobed, while blanketing the ground in gold. “Autumn, I love thy parting look to view In cold November’s day, so bleak and bare, When, thy life’s dwindled thread worn nearly thro’, With ling’ring, pott’ring pace, and head bleach’d bare, Thou, like an old man, bidd’st the world adieu.” ~John Clare,”Written in […]

Dog Tired

November 22, 2015 by Ogee

This is how tired I am. Dog tired. But it’s the best kind of tired. This weekend, we put more than 200 bulbs in the ground and pots for spring – and planted a Redbud in honor of sweet BoBo. BoBo found his forever home with Rob of RobandDog – and started him on his journey of rehabilitating those dogs most in need. Six pups went home including one-up/one-down Tessa with her new friend Ringo, And Barnaby who is being […]

Hope for the Monarchs

November 17, 2015 by Ogee

From threatened to signs of rebounding. Three to four times the number of monarch butterflies are expected to reach their wintering grounds in central Mexico this year. The population has been in decline, as pesticides have destroyed the milkweed that they feed on, and illegal logging has reduced their pine forest canopy blanket where they over-winter. Through education, people are reintroducing milkweed, both by planting and designating pesticide-free areas. In Mexico, illegal logging is being shut down. And the monarchs […]

Our Houseguest

November 15, 2015 by Ogee

I shared Lady Edith’s story on our rescue blog. But since many of you do not see that (and I am up to my elbows in puppy poop!) I hope you will indulge me with her story and current update. Lady Edith was destined for a life of making puppies. Too young, too thin, and in need of eye surgery – she was surrendered, instead, to our rescue, Homeward Bound. It changed the course of her life forever. Despite her […]
