Greetings from Sydney, Australia! in a previous post, I said that I was in Dublin, Ireland, and was on my way to Australia to scuba dive and then for two weeks of technical meetings. Well, I returned safe and sound from diving – which, by the way, was absolutely incredible! We spent about half of […]

On the day when I wrote my prior post, I was on my way to a business meeting […]

Readers will note that I have gotten progressively less responsible as the weeks drag on. Meaning, of course, that I haven’t blogged in something like two weeks. I need to be fed plain kibble for a week, or something similarly punitive.
I really do have good excuses though, although the dog did not eat my homework […]

Today, I want to talk about one of the puppy mill dogs that we received from up […]

We have the most precious pair of kids here…and among them are Alex and Missy.  Alex is an 11 year old Sheltie-boy who comes with Missy, his companion of 11 years who’s a female Miniature Schnauzer.  Alex was her ticket into SRU.  They are a real team after eleven years of companionship and we want […]

I feel terrible that I haven’t blogged in many days. I have some pretty good excuses (e.g., my day job’s overwhelming, I’ve been working on a new version of the SheltieRescueMall web store, the 2008 ASSA National Sheltie Specialty is coming up fast, blah, blah, blah), but so what…
