Angel At The Bridge

July 8, 2020 by Ogee

There is a saying: “Wait for them at the bridge.” It is usually refers to a dog waiting for its faithful human companion(s) at the Rainbow Bridge, where dogs go—just this side of heaven—to run free and play, restored, until they can cross the bridge together with their human again. In this case, it was reversed. Cannela is the orphaned girl dog of an orphaned man. Homeless, they lived under a bridge in Mexico – a home that offered some […]

All In A Day

February 3, 2019 by Ogee

All in a day… A motley duo transformed and made as beautiful on the outside as they are within. A one year old boy is surrendered, and then reclaimed because his people could not be without him with the understanding that a dog is a member or the family and a promise is a promise. Kids (human or canine) take time to grow up. Patience, perseverance and consistency are the keys. You get out what you put in. Three Golden […]

Second Chances: Look Back

April 15, 2018 by Ogee

Working on a special project, I have been looking back at some old photos (if you can call them that) dating back to when I first began volunteering at the rescue. They are pretty bad. I can’t believe I had the audacity to post them. Just goes to show: I’m still capable of growth and learning at my advanced age! Two volunteers, Chris and Steve, make repeated appearances as they were fixtures at the rescue at the time. I have […]

Princess Gracie

March 7, 2018 by Ogee

My name is Gracie. I am the grande dame of the E. & D. household. Technically, I am the middle dog. I arrived last January. Molly was here first. Been her since she was a young pup. She had pups herself before E. found her. I guess that’s why she never entirely grew up. While I may not have the seniority of tenure – I certainly do of age. At 14, I am top dog – even among the humans […]

Tucking in the Garden

July 13, 2012 by Ogee

Another evening visit to the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden this week. My turn this time. Hopefully it is our last day with temperatures over 100 for a while, thanks to the Delta Breeze which is just beginning to kick in. The bunnies were too quick for me to capture… The dragon flies would not hold still… So you will just have to take my word for it. Nothing profound to say; the Garden says it all. And then it says […]

Sunday Dogs and Gardens

June 25, 2012 by Ogee

Another beautiful Sunday in the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden.  I arrived early as the morning was cool, offering the best time for planting. It has been that way most of the week since our merciful Delta Breeze blew in, and the plants were showing their gratitude.  Everything looked refreshed and happy after our heat wave a week earlier. Maria joined me, neither of us anticipating much to do today – yet somehow it never works out that way! I put […]

When You Are Ready

June 19, 2012 by Ogee

This was recently posted on Homeward Bound’s Facebook page from the Petco Foundation. Wonderful advice to those who have lost a beloved friend and think they will never have room in their hearts for another. We don’t know what life brings. Some are long, and some too short. But each has its own beauty, and leaves its own lasting impression. The Homeward Bound Memorial Garden is dedicated to the golden companions we have loved. In it grow these spectacular Daylilies. […]
