Slowly, The Evening Comes

May 28, 2017 by Ogee

It is a rare treat to be in the Memorial Garden at sunset. After the feeders leave, a hush falls over the entire rescue as pups – exhausted from a day of play – bed down with full bellies for the night. “Slowly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon, like a magician, extended his golden wand o’er the landscape.” ~ Longfellow Instead of dogs barking, the air is full of the sounds of birds chirping, bees buzzing, […]

Summer Upon Us

May 21, 2017 by Ogee

Everybody in the pool! The dog days of summer are upon us. We’re getting a taste this weekend of what promises to be a long hot summer. In the morning, everyone is busy trying to get in their work, play – and tussles before the heat calls for a long, lazy nap. The good news: as the thermometer brushes 100-degrees, the searing sun kills the black spot fungus spores that have invaded our roses. Never before have we been faced […]

A Few Words on Wednesday: Chief is Home!

May 17, 2017 by Ogee

You may remember Chief from this post. While I was away, he found his way home. His journey made possible by Jody, who rescued this sweet, discarded dog from the fields, and a devoted group of volunteers who taught him how to have faith and trust in humans again. Happy life, Chief!

A River’s Story

May 14, 2017 by Ogee

Water. In drought, we pray for it. In floods, we fear it. And when the soul needs refreshing – we seek it. The ocean – in its vastness – offers perspective about our small place and insignificant worries in the scheme of life. A river is about discovery; something new lies around every bend. “A river does not just happen; it has a beginning and an end. Its story is written in rich earth, in ice, and in water-carved stone, […]

Forever One: The Giants Litter

May 7, 2017 by Ogee

  “Like branches on a tree we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other.” ― Anonymous Last year at this time I was one of the “puppy mamas” to a litter of 12 adorable Golden puppies that came to our rescue with their mom, Molly, and Dad, Harley. They were only three weeks old when they arrived; I wrote about it here. We named […]
