The Other Puppy Bowl

I know all you dog lovers are glued to the Puppy Bowl this weekend, but there is another one that goes on every weekend at Homeward Bound! It comes complete with tackles, fumbles, and unsportsmanlike conduct! I’ve brought you play-by-play on a couple of them. You’ll find them here and here. Last week, I shared photos of Sybill and her sister, Kensie at our weekly puppy bowl. Our newest, and smallest additions to Kathryn’s puppy class were feeling a bit […]

Worked Like Dogs
by Ogee
As gardeners, our big game day tradition has been to ditch the guys and spend the day pruning the roses of the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden. All 84 of them!

A Day of Solitude
by Ogee
“You need a village, if only for the pleasure of leaving it.” ~ Casare Paves The rescue is my village – and often my haven. But between my day job and my volunteer work for the rescue evenings and weekends, I was reminded that it I have been working seven day weeks for a very long time. We’ve had some joyous times recently – and some very difficult ones. I woke up very much feeling under the weather: mentally- more […]
