Tommy and Abby Playing

Going through my camera’s SD card contents, I ran across this video I took of Tommy and Abby playing.

Puppy Pics

OK, I’ve finally managed to get the photos off of my camera’s SD card, so here are some promised pics:

First, here’s a shot of little Tessa at about 15 weeks:

Surgery A Success

Just a quick note to let everybody know that Barbara’s surgery today went extremely well. As soon as it was over, her doctor came out to the lobby and told me that it went very easy, no problems, no complications. And, by the time she got back to her room (about 45 minutes after the [...]

Last Minute Pseudo-Panic

Well, tomorrow morning is when Barbara goes under the knife again, so we’ve been pretty busy the last few days trying to get the house and everything else as ready as we can. Of course, I’ll have more to do while she’s in the hospital to prepare for her homecoming (probably by Wednesday or Thursday!). [...]

Today’s Happenings

It’s busy around here! This morning, Barbara went over to the vet’s office to retrieve the Fab Four who arrived on Sunday. By the time she got all four of them loaded into the car, somebody had peed in the driver’s seat (so Cottonwood lent her a towel on which she could sit while driving) [...]

Two out, four in

Well, in the last three days, we’ve placed two rescued Shelties (Cassie and Shelbee) into new homes, and we took in (today) four new rescues. Sigh…

The newcomers are:

Cooper — a 20-month old male Sheltie with a very striking face: it’s over half white. He’s a little skittish about men, but did let me rub his [...]

There goes a happy Shelbee

Wow! Yesterday, a very nice woman named Pam came over with her sister and their mother to meet some of the dogs. The first one to whom we introduced them was Shelbee — and I haven’t seen Shelbee that excited in a very long time. She really connected with Pam right off the bat, and [...]

Cassie’s Got a Forever Home

Back in (I think) August 2008, four Shelties were turned over to us together. They were:

Cassie — A mahogany sable and white girl about nine years old who had (about five months earlier) given birth to three puppies
Sherlock — A blue merle boy about three years old who was the sire of those puppies
Dakota — [...]

An Angel On The Mend

Barbara dropped by our vet’s offices this morning to check on the status of a fairly new rescue, a senior girl named Angel (whom I mentioned in a previous post). Angel’s in the care of a foster home (other than us) and her foster mom had taken Angel into the vet’s for her senior blood [...]
