What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Our summer is surely leading to autumn. Don't need the weather people to tell us...it is cool each morning and there is a certain slant to the light. The angle is different and the sunlight itself is glittery but like it is filtered through the trees first. And of course, it is darkening earlier in the evening..."closing in" as my grandparents would say.  I love autumn too so it's all good.

The Ligularia, such a wonderful perennial, is blooming now in late summer. The very large deep yellow blooms open up as the rest of the ...

If you read the morning post, you heard that I got puppies in… There were two Bernese Mountain Dog puppies. You can see them both on the left. My grandson Gannon was totally in love with the boy. The pups came early Tuesday morning, went to the vet on Wednesday, and left for a new… Read More »More Dogs and Kids…

I’ve had a crazy foster dog life over the last week. Add to that several days with grandkids and a meet-up with Ray and everyone and I’m whooped. On Thursday the grandkids that were staying overnight slept in until 8:30 am and happily, that left me a chance to sleep in until 7:30. That doesn’t… Read More »Kids and Dogs…Dogs and Kids!!

My 4th of July ended up being a dog rescue day. I still have my sweet Sadie here. I can’t believe that she is still here. She’s such a great pooch. Sadie is a German Shepherd Rat Terrier mix. She looks very German Shepherd. The only Rat Terrier I see in her is the tip… Read More »A Dog Day…

If you’ve been around here and read the blog for a while, you know my life is pretty crazy. I’m very flexible and things just fall into my lap. This story is another one of those… Grab a drink, this might be a long story. Last week on Tuesday I look my daughter Kalissa’s boys,… Read More »Meet Sadie…My New Foster Pup

We have two dogs that have been with our rescue for some time. They are great dogs but need a special home where they can get some TLC to help them feel comfortable. First up we have Brandy. She was released from a breeder back in March. After some checking, we realized she was likely… Read More »Special Dogs at the Rescue

I’ve got some new pups in the house…I guess I should say dogs. There was a note in our group that said they would need fosters for two small golden doodles that would be released from a breeder. We knew nothing about age except that they were adults. No ages…not even if they were male… Read More »New Pups in the House

Well, maybe I shouldn’t say foster pup…maybe more like a foster dog. He’s already four years old. I personally think that is a great time to adopt. Dogs are past the frisky, tear-through-the-house age. They are past the point of chewing on things. They are so much more predictable. Jerry has been a long time… Read More »New Foster Pup: Meet Jerry

I'm late posting because we just had a horrible Ice Storm that knocked out power. More about that next time.

My doggy daycare has been going well. Daughter reports her dogs are tired and put themselves to bed early these days which means they are getting their exercise here. These aren't their real beds...I know one sleeps with Robbie and one with the adults every night. LOL

To Do This Week...I'm looking after Daughter's dogs, very lovable Abbey and Petey, this week. She is recovering from an exercise injury which seems like such an unfair thing to happen. Ned is in his glee. 

I had a few people ask me about my foster pup so I thought would write a blog post and answer some of the questions. I told you that I got a new Cocker Spaniel puppy I’m calling Bianca.  Admittedly, it often gets shortened to Bee. So far she has been a harder-to-foster dog.  First …

There was lots of action happening in the dog department last week. First off they had a cancellation at the vet for a dental appointment and I was able to get Susie to the appointment.  We were in an ice warning at the time but it was clear here.  The vet told me if could …

On Wednesday of last week, I told you a new foster pup was coming my way.  At the time I said I would foster it, I had no information except that it was 10-12 weeks old and some kind of beagle mix.  They had included this picture… Since I’ve been fostering, I have… learned to …

Heavy downpours of rain last night. Everything strange outside this morning with slush, ice and also bits of grass showing through. Our walk under a dark and gloomy sky but the air pleasant at 5C. 

Hubby did present me with a Valentine's Day gift, a surprise.  This card comparing me to his favourite food, pizza... 

It was a bit of a busy, unusual Tuesday for the Kramer crew.  Between the kids, grandkids, and dogs, I was hopping.  I started my day early.  I was scheduled to take care of my grandsons Carver and Anders while daughter Kalissa and husband Craig took Gannon to the genetics appointment for Gannon in Iowa …

I didn’t have a super busy weekend…plenty busy but not super busy.  I have my daughter Kelli’s kiddos here on Saturday.  I warned her that I had a cold but we both agreed that the kids had remnants of colds as well and we thought we all got if from the same place. From left …

How can you foster? It’s a question I get all of the time. “How can you let the dogs go?  I would get too attached” is another thing I always hear. “I could never let them go” is yet another thing I hear. I’ve been fostering dogs for about six months now.  Oh, my word…I …

I have news about my dog fostering. Miss Mindy is HOME!!!  Not her furever home but with me home.  WHEW.  What a long haul for her, the vet, and me!  She was originally spayed back on February 1st.  She was home with me on the 2nd and 3rd.  She landed back at the vet on …

Before I get to the pup update I want to give you all a big shout-out.  Do you remember some time ago I mentioned that I put together a needs list for our rescue?  The updated list is HERE.  I delivered everything when I picked up my last pups and the rescue coordinator was so …
