Solo has only been living here for just under a month. Rescued from a local mill, after feeding him for a few months, he jumped into my car and I ended up not having to trap him but just took him home.
While I was feeding him, he gave me every indication that he was […]
Recently, I found out that Google has “paused” my account. Why? I can’t fathom. Interestly enough, the adsense part of their program comes with no customer support- however, the adwords allows you full access to a living breathing person after you get past the automated voice that initially answers the phone.
Being a writer who […]
I am constantly amazed at the impact that the Internet has on people. On another website, I was confiding my fears about Mike and my frustration about the whole situation we are facing. A fellow rescuer from back East has lovingly decided to contribute her craft to my cause. You can read about her […]
I heard Mike groaning long after he had gone to sleep. He has been home from the hospital for 24 hours after being in there for one month and 3 days. He had told the doctor prior to discharge that he didn’t need the pain pills, but they sent them anyway. Listening to his groans […]

Growing tired of the apathetic approach of the SH doctors, I pulled MIke out of the nursing home yesterday and took him back to Corvallis to the ER. The admitted him immediately, fearing the infection in his foot had reached the bone and talking about doing an angiogram and an arterial bypass. They did the […]
Yesterday, Mike was supposed to be released from the nursing home. He was excited (understandably) about finally getting to come home. He wanted me to come and pick him up at 4:00 a.m. but I convinced him that 8:30 was a more civilized hour.
We had to take Dennis to the airport as his departure coincided […]
I have had Baron on PetFinders now for over a week. The hits and interest in this dog are heavy. Because he is such a handsome German Shepherd dog, many people are wanting to adopt him. I met a woman yesterday, she drove all the way down from Salem to meet Baron. Chris is older […]
I’ve been getting emails from those who regularly visit here wondering where I have been. I have been very quiet for many reasons. Mourning the loss of kittens whose moms were owned by people who do not care for their animals as they should be cared for. Kittens snatched early by exposure to FeLV: Twila, […]
