Posted by in dogs Gracie and I had our first official therapy dog visit in more than a year tonight. WOO HOO!!! We got to go back to the Police Department and were very warmly welcomed back. But I get ahead of myself. Gracie knows when a car ride is in the offing. She reads me somehow and knows…Read more »
Posted by in dogs Scruffy went off to his forever home on Saturday morning, and we have a nice four hour break before we went to pick up Buddy, our next foster dog. He will be the last one for a few months, at least through the summer, since our schedule (for the first time in more than a…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens are one month old today. They’ve moved out of the nest into their own apartment – the brown and beige cat cave you’ll see in the video here. That’s where they sleep now, giving mom cat Amelia some time on her own. They have started to use their litter box – woo hoo!…Read more »
Posted by in dogs I’ll let the pictures say it all. Scruffy before and after his grooming…don’t be drinking anything that you’ll snort out your nose when you look at these. For a second, I thought the groomer brought out the wrong dog! He looks like an old dog in the first photo, and now he looks like the…Read more »
Posted by in dogs I haven’t updated you on Bodhi since his eye surgeries in December. As you can see his eye sockets healed up nicely. And he’s in one of his favorite spots, on the couch next to Marley, who is his person. Lately, however, getting up on the couch, or getting up on Marley’s easy chair with…Read more »
Posted by in cats Big changes happening this week. The kittens – especially the black one (who is not so black anymore…more in a bit) — were about to breach the birthing box, so we had to move on to stage two in the foster room. The birthing box was in a big dog crate (think Labrador size) and…Read more »

Scruffy Scruffy and our pups on a rainy afternoon Cat and kitty – Amelia and her babies Sorry for the blurriness on these.…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens are just starting to discover play with one another. At 2 1/2 weeks they are actually awake long enough here and there to do some exploring of their world. Their play is kinda slo-mo for now, since they aren’t very coordinated yet, but what it lacks in motion it makes up for in…Read more »
Posted by in dogs “Scruffy is tiny!” was the text I got from the dog adoption/transport coordinator. I was expecting a terrier sort of Gracie’s size, but Scruffy, who joined our household today is less than half Gracie’s size. I haven’t weighed him yet, but I’m guessing 5-6 pounds. And right now, Scruffy’s name fits him perfectly. He has…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens have completed their second week outside the womb and they are growing like proverbial weeks. My books say kittens starting at two weeks should be between 250 – 350 grams, but these three are starting petty close (or over in the case of the black one) 300 grams already. Their eyes are all…Read more »
