There is a reason why gardeners are increasingly moving to native plants. Unlike fancy hybrids, native plants are uniquely adapted to their landscape. Having developed over time, they are resilient and well-suited to the available soil, water, and sun or shade. As a result, they thrive where others languish – providing valuable habitat to others. Today’s designer dogs are much like plant hybrids. Mixed breeds combined in the hopes of a perfect mix of genetic traits. Bernedoodles are apparently the […]

Yellow: The Color of Summer

July 22, 2018 by Ogee

Nothing says summer like the color yellow. The spring garden is full of pink, lilac, blue and white. In the autumn, I want depth: oranges, reds, deep purples, golds. But yellow is for summer. This shaggy rudbeckia grandiflora thrives and returns each year where others fail. It is beautiful in a chaotic, messy way – as if it couldn’t be bothered to fully dress itself or comb its hair in the morning. “Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” ~ […]

July 15, 2018 by Ogee

He passed suddenly – unexpectedly – a few weeks ago. ‘Have a good day’ […]

When Someone You Love Becomes A Memory

July 4, 2018 by Ogee

When someone you love becomes a memory – The memory becomes a treasure. Last July 4th, a miracle named Buster was delivered to us. He stole everyone’s heart – but he claimed one as his own. He stayed longer than anyone expected… but it is never long enough. To his heartsick human mom he would say ‘remember me with the smile and laughter that filled my days with love.’ “He took my heart and ran with it, and I hope […]

When You Just Say “Try”

July 1, 2018 by Ogee

Every single person that contributes to our mission of rescue is essential and valued. Still, there are some donors whose extraordinary gifts over the years have created an essential foundation for our work. Many had not been to the rescue in a decade or more; so much has changed. Since or founding, our facilities and our programs for the dogs have morphed from buckets and tubs and potty breaks to a fully functioning, more modern operation with enrichment programs to […]
