I finally got to go to the animal shelter today–first time I have gone alone in 2 weeks. I didn’t stay as long as I had originally planned–perhaps it is shallow of me, but I was determined to get to try my bread while it was still warm, and thanks to yesterday’s power outage John…
"HEY!! That kitty cat LIKES me!!!"
Welcome to the wonderful world of taking Alex to play with the cats at the animal shelter. Also heard was: “Can that kitty CAT go home with ME?”“I LOVE the kitty cat!!” My 2 1/2 year old speaks in a strange toddler sing song voice with emphasis on various words in any given sentence. It’s…
Update from the Animal Shelter
I haven’t been in 2 weeks, thanks to bad weather and viruses. And actually today’s visit was cut short because we are experiencing more bad weather. And of course around here it is never just snow; it is ice and sleet, which is a lot worse than snow–unless you are in a full blown blizzard….
The Dog That Was Kept In A Chimney
Working in an animal shelter is an ongoing lesson in human nature. It shows you the good sides, as all sorts of people from all sorts of walks of life come together to make these dogs’ and cats’ lives better. It is also a lesson in the depths to which human beings can sink, as…
Snuggle Bug and Ornery get a bath!
I have fallen in love with a mangy boxer puppy. I am not in danger of bringing her home (watch my husband sigh in relief) but she is oh-so-adorable.

De-Stressing with Chocolate Chip Cupcakes Topped with Ganache
Bony Update Many of you remember the German Shepherd that I rescued a week or so back… well I decided to volunteer at the shelter that took her. I got there today for the orientation session, and while I was filling out my paperwork, Bony left with her new owner! He had another German Shepherd…
A No Kill Shelter Found Room For Bony!
I said our poor rescue dog derailed dinner in a previous post—well she kind of derailed my blog a bit this week as well. In the midst of making dinner for Friday evening I found out the no kill shelter could take her and had to leave during dinner. I did not want to lose…
If you chip your pet, please register it!
Just a quick update on the dog in our garage–I will be posting about some really yummy brownies come tomorrow. I still need to type up the recipe. But in case any of you were wondering… First of all, the dog catcher still has not called me back-if any of you city people were wondering…
