What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

My little Lefty is getting left behind. You might remember that I got Pancho and Lefty shortly after Christmas.  I think it was the 31st.  Lefty is the one on the left. Lefty had an approved adoption before he has even gone to the vet.  We thought he would be going to his home on […]

Oh my…remember I told you I never wanted to get a do that needed to be groomed??  And then I got Izzy??  I fell totally in love with her personality and still feel the same today…I don’t want a dog that has to be groomed…but I’m totally in love with her personality. So I adopted […]

This one will likely have you laughing…what a story.  There are so many twists and turns I hope I get it right. Tuesday I was supposed to take my foster pups to the vet so they could get cleared and then they could go out to their new homes. After talking with people at HEART […]

It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about fostering dogs.  When I last left you CeeCee and BeeBee were here. I got them just before Thanksgiving and BeeBee was the last to leave.  I think she left on the 10th of December. In the middle of that, I was scheduled to get more pups but […]

I have been offline for a few days—literally. I finally got my internet connected today! I thought Bill had everything set up on autopay, but apparently not the internet. It was cut off on Sunday. Of course, they wouldn’t transfer it to me without a death certificate, so that took a couple of trips to the Optimum office. I was planning to get cable tv, so I went ahead and got that added to the account. I think I have all that done, and I’m currently working on getting the Verizon (phone) account transferred. They are not ...

This came up in my Facebook Memories today.  It was posted by my daughter Kalissa. “If heaven works like it should, I hope Ruby found Dad “ 2019 was a tough year for me.  I lost my husband in June from lung cancer.  I lost my niece Jody who was more like a sister to […]

If you read yesterday’s post, you know that my grandson, our daughter Kalissa’s middle son, Gannon had some complications after getting his tonsils and adenoids out.  I’m happy to say, Gannon has improved. As of my writing this he was in pediatric ICU but it sounded like he would be moving to the regular floor […]

Did you read the title of the post?  After telling you on Thursday that I wasn’t going to have much puppy news, I ended up only 24 hours later sitting back down at the computer and writing yet another blog post about puppies.  Oh my. The story of puppies coming from Amish farms continues.  Do […]

If you’re not a dog lover, you’re probably disappointed in the blog lately as it’s really “gone to the dogs”.  I promise that last post for a bit. Life as a foster mom has been a whirlwind lately.  Please don’t let that ever discourage you from fostering.  I really signed up for this and could […]

…Or maybe a bad week, or month, or whatever. I feel like I have a black cloud over my head. Ever since Bill got sick, there has been little good and a whole lot of bad. Today my dogs ran away! I had gone to Target to return an order, and when I got back my gate was open and they were gone. The company replacing the fiber optic cable were on my block today, and I am pretty sure they opened my gate and failed to close it. My dogs finally came back so that was a relief. They ...

Sadly yesterday our family said goodbye to Rusty.  Rusty was our foster dog.  He came to us on November 11th.  I was nervous when I got him but I knew his condition and knew he might be a challenge. Rusty had what is known as cherry eyes.  The glands in his eyes were troublesome and […]

I thought I would give you all an update on Rusty my foster dog.  I’ve had him for over a week now and have really enjoyed having him.  He’s a sweet guy full of love and affection. If you’ve been reading along, you probably know that Rusty suffers from Cherry Eyes.  It’s what a gland […]

I haven’t had a chance to update you on my foster dog, Rusty.  Let me tell you this…he is a joy.  He had the story of what rescuing dogs is all about.  Previous to Rusty coming I fostered two other dogs.  Both of them were puppies, and both of them started out rough…but not the […]

I am a little later than normal with tonight’s post.  I got sidetracked today and life caught up with me so I’m sitting down at the computer later in the day than normal. Do you all remember Annie?  She was the foster Aussiedoodle I had a couple of weeks ago.  The people who gave her […]

Hey everyone.  Late in the day yesterday I got a notice that they needed someone to foster a dog.  Everything with this foster has been up in the air and unknown so I’ll just give you the information the best I can at this point. When I was first notified, no one was sure if […]

Well folks, Annie my foster dog has found a home.  That was quick right?? I got Annie on Monday.  She had a vet appointment on Thursday and was listed as available to adopt on Friday.  She was listed and within two hours, they closed taking applications as she had so many applications. Part of that […]

It’s official.  Izzy, my foster dog found her place to call home.  I told you earlier that we had decided to adopt her.  I say “WE” because dogs, like people in our family, become part of the whole family.  Everyone has really liked Izzy and happily, she likes this chaotic family too!! I got everyone’s […]

I have a new foster dog. Late last week HEART Animal Rescue the group that I am fostering with put out an SOS.  They had two moms and seven pups that needed to find homes.  These were the pictures they sent… The pups are Aussie Doodles.  Moms were said to be Australian Shepherds and dad […]

I had another busy week and didn’t accomplish a lot.  I vowed on Saturday that I was going to get some stuff done. Then Kalissa called me and asked if I wanted to go to Sumner and hit up the shops.  My favorite Marker’s Market is there.  It had been some time since I went […]

Before I tell you about the groomers, I wanted to let you know that we’ve been walking regularly.  I would call Izzy good for leash training.  Here are Izzy and Rosie. Izzy now walks right up by me and Rosie.  She loves to go on walks.  I do want to find a leash that allows […]
