The Charmed Life of a Garden Cat Named Frida

February 25, 2018 by Ogee

The north wind that blew in mid-month stayed. Spring is nothing if predictably unpredictable. We went from t-shirts to down jackets and mittens within 24 hours. While the overnight thermometer dropped below freezing for a week, it stayed close enough – thankfully – to have little impact on our opening blueberry and apple blossoms. And now, there is much-needed rain on the horizon. But today, we all soaked up the warm spring sun. A butterfly (Mourning Cloak?) warming its wings […]

Follow-up Friday: Rudy

February 23, 2018 by Ogee

No, that’s not a football play…or a six-legged dog! It’s Rudy. Being Rudy. Rudy came to us in December at the age of 10 months. His mom had to move back in with her mom, and Rudy – who had been a loved, inside dog – had to become an outside dog. In the winter cold. It was breaking his mom’s heart. She knew he deserved better and she asked us to find it for him. He was quickly adopted […]

Nash’s Big Day

February 18, 2018 by Ogee

Nash, the furless wonder, arrived almost two years ago. At the age of eight, he had been left in a local shelter. He was listed as a Black Labrador, but he looked more like an exotic hairless dog – except for the smell. He was suffering from Malassezia pachydermatis – a yeast found on the skin and ears of dogs that can get out of control leading to greasiness, loss of hair, and “malodorous discharge from legions” – in other […]

Follow Up Friday: Just Add Love

February 16, 2018 by Ogee

Taylor was the eighth dog of 2018. You may remember his arrival. At three years of age, this Golden Retriever weighed just 40.8 pounds. He was emaciated and scared, but he instantly clung to our people. Within minutes a tiny grin appeared. That was his true heart shining through. There was nothing medically wrong with Taylor. Why he was so thin is still a mystery to us. We know he was kept in a kennel during the day – which […]

A Change In The Wind

February 11, 2018 by Ogee

“In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.” ~ Mark Twain Friday, I played hooky for a few hours and snuck out to the garden. Within minutes, I was peeling off layers like an onion and thinking it was time to move the winter clothes into storage. A week of mid-70’s in early February gets me dreaming about planting spring annuals, but I have wised up a bit […]

Follow-Up Friday: Journey Now Charli

February 9, 2018 by Ogee

My Yogi had a play date recently with our former foster and his protégé, Journey. Her name is now Charli – and it suits her, but I have a hard time re-training myself. She is forever Journey to me. She has grown, but not too much. She is loved (that can never be too much). But in one way, she has returned to her old self. It seems that our Journey Charli has fallen back into her old habits: greeting […]
