Special Delivery

February 4, 2018 by Ogee

Saturday was puppy going home day. While all the preparations were being made, and Chubbs received his morning massage, another pup (of sorts) was getting ready for his arrival. On Tuesday, Ms. London gave birth to baby Paris. Yes – rescue animals come in all shapes and sizes at Homeward Bound. On the private side of the fence, our president provides refuge to geese and ducks and roosters – and the biggest, oldest pig I have ever seen. Most recently, […]

Of Gardens and Rescue Dogs

March 5, 2017 by Ogee

What a garden needs is time, patience, love, nurturing, hope, and room to grow.

Not A Golden

July 5, 2015 by Ogee
