This week-end is was really very nice outside. That meant my husband got to go outside and work around the yard. Of course he had a lot of help. One of our biggest helpers is Shadow. He always is right there to pitch in and see that you are doing what needs to be done and that you are doing it right. Most the time you are tripping over him because he is so close. Today he thought he would help by going into the garage and bringing out a roll of wire. Not sure what we needed it for but he thought we did. He was so proud of himself we couldn’t get mad. Not sure what we would do without Shadow. He got his name because he is a shadow.


Ben met his new forever mom. He was very good and did not do any acting up. He was showing off. It will be a good place for him. His mom will work in a doggie day care, is very active and can be the strong leader he needs. It seems the new dogs coming in find a home fast but the great dogs like Shadow and Damon don’t. People just don’t know what they are missing with these guys.

Tucker is a new boy we took in. He really did not have much going for him last week. He had bad ears, his eyes were very dry and he can’t see, he has diabetes and his nose where the skin rolls was badly infected. After a week of cleaning him up, medications and good food Tucker is full of life and spirit. He has gone from a boy that I thought would be a forever foster to a dog that can be adopted. He will always have a sight problem. He may be able at some point to see shadows but for the most part he is blind. He gets insulin twice a day but he is the happiest little pug you will ever meet. He follows your voice to find his way and otherwise just walks around from memory of where things are. It is amazing what dogs can adapt to.

We got good news on Stella. No cancer remaining. The removal of the tumor seems to have gotten all of it. Now we just need to monitor her for 3 to 6 months for any other lumps and she will be good to go. Tonight I got a call from her foster mom. They were going to have chicken breasts on the grill. The key words being were! Stella had a good supper, two nice raw chicken breasts. Good thing she is cute!

The new puppies are all doing great. I have no idea how Tammy can tell them apart. They all look so close in looks. They are just like little bulldozers when they play, just shoving right through not around anything.

It has been a GOOD WEEK. And tomorrow is another
GREAT DAY TO SAVE A LIFE!
