Small dogs weekend

2011-11-03T17:38:00.000+01:00

Last Summer we started a small dogs house. Every week we have several guests.This weekend we had only small dogs 3 dachhunds and 1 Jack Russel.an impression:

14 years!

2011-10-25T04:07:00.000+02:00

Ginger Ale and I are about to mark 14 years together!

In 1997, just before Hallowe'en, I picked up Ginger Ale (and his late, boon companion Little Willow) from the Humane Society in Charleston, South Carolina. On his tag, the note said that he was 2-3? years old and that his person was deceased.

In my traveling days, Ginger Ale would sit in my suitcase when I'd open it to pack. If you're leaving, take me with you.

Ginger Ale has bumped along with me from Charleston, to Boston, to St. Petersburg, Florida, to Charlottesville, Virginia and finally to Nashville, TN.

He is the perfect guest cat, throwing himself, purring, across any willing lap and torso. He would gladly be mayor of any neighborhood (if only given the chance), is kind to his housemates and has an enormous sense of humor.

Ginger Ale's coat is not as luxe as it once was and he's lost a bit of girth but is still robust and loves to take his morning constitutional around the yard. My old pal.

KESHA

2011-10-01T08:50:00.003+02:00

This is Kesha, a 16 months young female Rhodesian Richback. We are happy to have her as our guest 3 times a week. Its great fun to see her with our own dogs Tommy and Silva. The accepted her as a new member of the pack.

Lexie

2011-09-25T05:50:00.000+02:00

A little over a year ago Lexie entered our household as a grand-dog, and she is over almost every day to play with our Maggi. Initially I had some reservations but after the chewing-stage she has turned into a real winner!

Sometimes it's hard to watch nature in the raw. CoCo really is a sweet little dog, but she does what animals do~

A lot has happened...

2011-09-12T01:12:00.000+02:00

since last I posted...

My last post was in March...shortly after our beautiful Miss Daisy passed away...

She left a big hole in our hearts...

But life goes on...

Since then a new furry family member has joined us...

Meet Kelly...

We got her from the Forever Friends Rescue in Ventura, and when

we got her in June, she was 16 months old...

Kelly has brought lot's of laughter and smiles...

Even throughout our recent move across town...

At least for us humans...

The feline members of the family aren't too sure about her!!!

I really don't know what to say...

These are the "extra" cats I'm caring for so that each can be spayed and neutered. This will prevent an additional 40 cats next season. They've been living in the garden since April. I have to start trapping them tomorrow. Please send your good intentions to help me with this task!

2011-08-15T18:44:00.001+02:00

Patrons at one of our favorite cafes often bring their dogs along. This one is particularly beautiful and very well-behaved!

Babalu is still inside the studio and still looking for a permanent home. I wish I could keep him but I think his destiny is elsewhere.

They're so cute when they're resting.

Collared Maggi

2011-07-24T10:48:00.000+02:00

Maggi has had too many illnesses this year. She now has had a ruptured cyst cleaned out and medicated and is being treated for an ear infection. The inflatable collar that keeps her from biting, scratching, or licking her wounds is much better than the old lampshade objects used in days of yore.

Babalu! In from the wild. Looking for a good home. His mother, uncle and siblings are hanging 'round the studio. They like the food but are very wild. Must find a solution so my own cats (and birds and squirrels) can reenter the territory. It's a dilemma!

Many of you have seen my previous posts of
Miss Daisy...

She has been our darling Golden Girl since she came to live with us December 8, 2002.
She was a rescue, and was approximately 5 when we got her.

On March 16, 2011 she left us to frolic in the fields of Dog Heaven...

She was our sweet Golden Girl. The best dog either of us had ever had the pleasure of sharing life with.

She is missed.

New, Used, Dog

2011-01-11T17:18:00.000+01:00

Here's a few recent photos of the dog we rescued in November. She was someone's discard, but now she's part of our family. We only know that she's somewhere between 2 and 4 years old, had not been spayed (is now), and is part Terriersomething! Any guesses???? The foster family had already renamed her. We couldn't risk confusing her with yet another name change, so we tweaked their name a little and renamed her Maddie May. Over the past 30 years our last 3 dogs were all Mays ... Osa May, Effie May, Maggie May (who some of you remember), and now it's MADDIE MAY. She's got character and has a lot to learn, but we will do the best that SHE can.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Cleo and Sadie's first experience with snow!!!

2010-11-01T05:59:00.000+01:00

Cleo and Sadie lived in Southern California their whole lives, until July when we moved to the beautiful town of Mammoth Lakes, in the Eastern Sierras of California. Need I say it never snows in Southern California??? Well, actually, in the LA basin??? They were used to sunshine, occasional rain, and more sunshine...and a big back yard.

When we moved to Mammoth, they learned that their outdoor area was now relegated to the deck, no patio or grass...

Well, it snowed two days ago...I let them out on the deck for their first experience of snow...

Sadie kept licking her paws...but being the adventurous, curious cat that she is, she kept exploring...

Well, the sun came out, and snow began to melt...

Where'd that white stuff go???

Maggie May

2010-10-20T15:53:00.000+02:00

When someone who has been your best friend and constant companion is no longer here, it's very hard to continue your daily rituals without them. I had not realized how many little unimportant things had become automatic, and unnoticed in my day to day routines with Maggie. I guess when you are retired, like I am, and spend most of your waking hours working at home, the way I do, you simply don't realize how often you are having a conversation with the dog! And so this past month, I found it very comforting to have those little conversations with her wonderful spirit.

Rescued September, 2000 - September 27, 2010

So here's to Maggie, the good listener, the hard worker, our protector and old friend. We will miss you, but there's no way that we'll ever forget you. You are the Dog!

Welcome Back (my bone) from Holidays !

We almost lost her!!!

2010-08-15T21:42:00.003+02:00

Just a few days before we moved the animals to our new home, Sadie disappeared...she was gone for 2 full days and nights...on the third day, she wandered back into the yard, a bit dazed and confused. She came in a bit dusty and dirty, ate great quantities, and slept long and hard...

Speculation has run the gamut from her being accidentally locked in a garage to our neighbor's version of her being picked up by an owl, and her being so feisty that she got dropped and it took her two days to find her way back!!!

However it happened, we're glad she made it back and in time for our move north. The very next day, she, her sister cat Cleo, and her sister dog Daisy, all were in the car for five hours with me...the kitties sang for about an hour and a half, then settled in to agitated slumber...Once here, they've really settled in...
