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 […]

Late Summer’s Tiny Gems

August 13, 2017 by Ogee

After a blazing hot summer, the garden is in that in-between moment when the summer riot turns tiny and quiet until the fall steps forward in all its glory. You have to look closely in a sea of green for the garden’s little gems. Hummingbird-loving Cuphea ignea. Butterfly favorites Jupiter’s Beard, Lantana, and Butterfly Bush. The purples and pinks of Pentas, Penstemon, Chives, And Cosmos bespeckle the beds – their large drifts long gone. Dainty Veronica tries to stand tall, […]

Mac-aroni’s Going Home Day

March 12, 2017 by Ogee

You don’t have to look at the garden to know that winter is giving way to spring. You can sense it. You don’t have to envision the flowers and trees in bloom. You can smell them. You don’t have to behold the sun to know that it is shining. You can experience its warmth. You don’t have to observe the birds to know their delight in fresh worms and tiny buds. You can hear them. And 10-year-old blind Mac-aroni does […]

A Forever Friend

November 27, 2016 by Ogee

“A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves — a special kind of double.” ~ Toni Morrison Our recently adopted Yogi and his sister Lotta (formerly Lottie who I wrote about here) were reunited last week for a play date. They had not seen each other since September. If there was any doubt that they would remember each other, it was quashed in an instant. As soon as they saw each other […]

From Korea, To Love

March 22, 2016 by Ogee

Last week, our rescue, Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, received a call from the San Francisco SPCA asking if we could support a very special needs boy. Talgi was one of a group of 64 dogs rescued by the Humane Society International from a South Korean dog meat “farm” in February, 2016. There have been a series of these rescues. The Humane Society contracts with the farmer to shut them down and transition them to a more humane livelihood. Sadly, […]

Down the Rabbit Hole

October 4, 2015 by Ogee

I find myself in Wonderland. Down the rabbit hole we go, where crazy people undertake a kennel remodel with dogs still in residence. Shuffling dogs from one place to another to accomplish in one week what would take mere mortals at least four. “I’m not crazy. My reality is just different from yours.” ~ Cheshire Cat Simultaneously making good on a “Picnic in the Garden” auction item – “It’s always tea time.” ~ The Mad Hatter for five human guests […]

Back to Reality

May 17, 2015 by Ogee

Back from an adventurous week on Kauai and returned to a whirlwind of work and house guests. Among them was my sister, Beth and her husband, Gordon. Their stay was brief, but good – with a request to see Homeward Bound and the Memorial Garden which they have known only virtually. We made our way there Friday, where the garden is beginning to look a lot like summer… and the puppies put my sister through her paces. Yes, those are […]
