Last night when I got home from work, it was past midnight. As I walked out to the horses I looked up and saw all the brilliant stars in the heavens. The air was still and traffic had long ago let up on the road. On Sunday night, this town rolls up the sidewalks early. […]
When you work in the capacity of rescue, sometimes it falls on you to make hard decisions; unpopular ones as it were if you ask someone who has never rescued their opinion about it. Now today, I find I am faced with a hard choice in regards to Indiana. He has been under the […]
Through all the chaos, the one steady, the one constant has been my cats. I can always count on them to make me laugh. Everest still races me to my computer chair in the mornings. Taylor will expose her belly to me every time I pass her lying on the cat condo. She loves her […]
“NEGATIVE FOR RABIES!” I was so glad to hear that result over the phone tonight! There had been enough matter to test- so now there is a big sigh of relief that I can get my animals their rabies shots but on my time-frame and not someone else’s!

But in the last half hour, I have changed his bedding eight times. I’ve started him on immodium liquid and hopt that does the trick- but […]
This morning when I went to feed Solo as I have been doing now for several weeks. He came up out of the culvert and stayed just within arms reach of me. He was headbumping a nearby bush and I could just see him thinking- “I wanna headbump her….I wanna headbump her…..” So, I reached […]
