Posted by in dogs Well, much to our surprise, we are considering adopting Ace. We weren’t really contemplating another dog, but he’s such a nice little guy that we are thinking he might be a good choice. In his favor: He’s the kind of size we had already decided we would look for after Bodhi is gone. We are…Read more »
Posted by in dogs Happy 4th birthday Gracie! You’re a gem, and we are lucky you are part of our lives.
I am quiet for ages, and now y’all are having to see posts from me daily, but things are starting to quiet down a bit. First of all, Ace is a doll. Easiest foster we have ever had or could hope to have. House trained, good walker, goes to sleep in his open crate when…Read more »
Just a quick update on things…everything changes so quickly sometimes in foster land. I think Rebecca may have some mastitis, or at the very least, her teats are very raw and sore and she does not want to nurse the kittens.

The matriarch of the show is Rebecca, so…Read more »
Posted by in cats Posted by in Uncategorized We are back from vacation, our first whole week off in at least a decade or more. This semi-retirement thing with pet sitting is good…no more working 365 days a year. We were off to Massachusetts to see Marley’s family, so it was an easy and relaxing week away. Another part of the fun was…Read more »
Posted by in cats I LOVE FOSTERING THE ITTY BITTIES!!! Fostering the tiny ones from early days to adoption is one of my all-time favorite things to do.
