Thursdays are my busy day at home. I don’t work that day and it tends to turn into an errand day. Being I can’t foster as much with the HEART Animal Rescue doesn’t mean I can’t help. I’ve told the coordinator that if you plan something for Thursdays, I can do the running. That’s what …

Yesterday, I read a great article about Pet-Valu in the Globe and Mail. It was from the Report on Business magazine.
Article on our pets |
Holy!!! The amount of money that we spend on our pets is insane. OK—my pets do not get all the fancy food and treats. Do not tell them that they are missing out on all this crazy stuff. By the way, they know something is not right this morning as they are on either side of my chair as I write, as close to me as they can get!
I have a meeting today ...

read moreI got an email from a reader wondering why I haven’t written much about HEART Animal Rescue where I volunteer. The person had missed dog stories. I thought I would write a post and tell you a bit. First off THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Thank you so MUCH!! Because of your wonderful donations, the rescue …

read moreThe storm is past and power has been restored for everyone. Then it was really cold like we had dialed back a season back to winter. However today, spring hopes are revived as it is going up to 15C. I did pick up my seed packets while out and about yesterday. I found out last year that these are classified seasonal and only available on the shelves for a brief time, so have to get them early. I bought more of the Zinnia packets because I had good luck growing those last year and they stayed in bloom so long ...
read moreI showed Ned and his fellow chocolate Lab litter mates in this post to celebrate his birthday. The litter included Petey who stayed with them and Beth made them a cake.
While I was off with my cancer treatment, the rescue stayed busy. It was so busy that being I wasn’t in the thick of things, I couldn’t keep track of the incoming and outgoing of dogs. It was crazy I know and I felt bad that I couldn’t help. I did help with a couple …
read moreIt was a good year for me with cross stitch. I found great comfort making small and large pieces. If you need the name of a pattern let me know and I'll look it up, but for this post I'm just going to post pictures. These are not in any particular order.
Sugar Stitches ornaments I bought a small white tree and some small pink ornaments and put this up in my sewing room. |
I did this in honor of my mom's dad--my favorite grandpa. The top says Eat Well, Costs Nothing. He liked to say that ... |
I thought I would pop in and give you a little update on my animal rescue life… First off an update on my garage kitty…You can read the story about how I found a cat in my garage HERE if you missed it. She was taken to the vet, give shots, spayed, and then went …

read moreI know you all like dog stories. Here is the latest one I have for you. About two or three weeks ago someone stopped at the vet office and asked if we knew of anyone who takes puppies. That’s the point when everyone at the vet clinic looks at me being I volunteer with the …
read moreOh my word…Not too long ago, someone said I didn’t tell many foster dog stories lately. Now I seem to be telling them weekly. Today is especially going to be a big story. We are a small rescue…but mighty. For how few of us there are, we help a lot of dogs find homes. If …

read moreFirst off…I am not a cat person. It’s not that I don’t like cats. I prefer dogs and prefer to stick with dogs. I am thrilled that there are cats and cat lovers…it’s just not me. Our foster group is always looking for people to foster cats and once, for a brief moment, I thought …
read moreFirst off…before I say anything about the dogs. I did not name them. They came to me named Winston and Churchill. They also came to me looking like this… What a couple of shaggy beasts. These two are three years old, both males…brothers from the same litter. We were told they are King Charles Cavalier/Poodle/Bichon …

read moreWe dog sat during the holidays while Beth and family spent New Years Eve at a hotel which is their tradition. This is Petey and Ned after the ball playing... panting at me, right in my face. Just don't care at all. :D You can see the difference in height between the two brothers in this one.
We finished Billions...loved all the many references to sports, books, history, philosophers, politicians, pop culture, etc.; their research team must have had a field day. I also loved the music that was chosen for each show. We are now watching something ... read moreShe’s not really a puppy now, as she’s four years old and has lived with us for a year and a half. This year I bought Chouchou (pronounced shoe-shoe) a sweater that looks like she’s a Christmas gift — so cute! Unfortunately, you can’t really see the design from the front, so here she is, […]
read moreNot long ago a blog reader told me that she missed my foster dog posts. It was so strange. We weren’t getting in very many dogs so there wasn’t much to write about. Last year at this time, it was raining dogs!! That’s about the time I had Rusty, the brown dog with cherry eyes. …

read moreWe haven’t gotten a lot of foster dogs lately and I’m taking that as a good sign. Part of me wonders if we’ll be bombarded after Christmas when all the puppies from the puppy mill don’t get bought. We’ve had a few dogs but nothing like we did last year. WHEW!! A blog reader wrote …

read moreHey everyone…I’m so excited. I have a new foster pup. He is an eight-week-old King Charles Cavalier. I got him on Saturday afternoon. I was actually supposed to get another pup at the same time… this guy. He is supposedly 8 weeks old but we’re questioning that a bit because he is only 1.9 pounds …

read moreI’ve not written much here on the blog about the animal rescue (HEART Animal Rescue) that I volunteer with. Being I haven’t had dog stories or posted pictures I was thinking that maybe you thought I wasn’t volunteering anymore. WRONG! I’m still busy. I’m just busy in a different way. With my doctor appointments for …

read moreYou might remember back in July I had a foster dog at my house named Simone. She was an Australian Shepherd that came from the puppy mill. She was a mill mom and even though she was young, she had several litters. Without the needed nurturing, Simone was shy and easily scared. She didn’t know …
