About once a month I participate in rescuing dogs from overcrowded shelters in the south and transporting them to the north to less crowded shelters where they have a chance to survive and get a home. Here are a few pictures of the 5 dogs I transported last weekend, of the 13 who made theContinue reading “Avoiding Euthanasia”

Clyde and See See
As I said in my last post, the household has calmed down considerably since no one is in heat right now. See See is back with her brother/littermate Clyde and they can relax. Here are some pics and a short video.
Winston, Roz, and Daphne

Only a half door separates Winston from Clyde, but there isn’t anything to fight about anyway. Johnny is back to eatingContinue reading “Winston, Roz, and Daphne”
Happy 18 month birthday to the Frasier litter! Born 1/11/2024
I hope to receive pics of the other puppies from the litter: Duke (Martin), Güenther (Frasier), and Zero (Niles) to also post on the blog. Even though they are 18 months old, they are still “puppies” because they are the youngest!
Johnny got bit by a copperhead!
I let Johnny and Jane out after eating last night, and a copperhead must have been right at the door. Johnny had gone out first, and I grabbed Jane and yanked her back in as I saw the snake. That left Johnny outside with the snake. I called him back inside, yelling loudly because heContinue reading “Johnny got bit by a copperhead!”

Before and after pictures of ear taping
A friend brought a nearly 5 month old puppy over for ear taping. A veterinarian had attempted to glue pre-made inserts into the ears. The puppy scratched the inserts out by the time they got home. Unfortunately, the glue had to be cleaned out before we could do the taping. Cleaning it out caused someContinue reading “Before and after pictures of ear taping”
