Worked Like Dogs

January 31, 2016 by Ogee

However, when you start to see this… you know that you are already way behind. With daytime temperatures now in the 60’s…the roses just could not wait for game day this year. Last weekend, Ina and Maria were out to do some. Anna, Lynn, our youth volunteer, Ara and I […]

A Christmas Jar for the Dogs

January 25, 2016 by Ogee

Do you know the Christmas Jar Tradition? It was new to me. I learned that the rescue was a recipient of one this year. It is just a simple jar used to collect spare change each day. During the week before Christmas, you carefully select someone to give it to anonymously. It arrived with the note in this photo, and a copy of the book “Christmas Jars” by Jason F. Wright (we added cutie-pie, Benson!). The family writes: Dear Homeward […]

Patience and Perseverance

January 24, 2016 by Ogee

A few weeks ago, Joe paid a return visit to Homeward Bound. Had he not been with his “Dad,” I would not have recognized him. His “Dad” – Russ – is a devoted Homeward Bound volunteer who has assumed responsibility for maintaining our yards, parks, and open spaces. He arrives every week to mow, rake, and groom eight acres. The property has never looked better. Last summer, a new dog in our sanctuary yard caught his attention – and quickly […]

A Day of Solitude

January 17, 2016 by Ogee

“You need a village, if only for the pleasure of leaving it.” ~ Casare Paves The rescue is my village – and often my haven. But between my day job and my volunteer work for the rescue evenings and weekends, I was reminded that it I have been working seven day weeks for a very long time. We’ve had some joyous times recently – and some very difficult ones. I woke up very much feeling under the weather: mentally- more […]
