We also lost Rosetta. We took her and her baby, Gladys, into sanctuary in January 2023. She was 15years old and had some medical issues. She was very loved and taken care of by her foster mom, Lynette. Recently we have watched her have more problems with walking and balance. She did have severe spondylosis but her situation became even more severe when she had problems standing and falling over. She also lost interest in her cookies and did not eat well. Our vet thought that the new situation could be caused from her brain, not the spondylosis. We all decided it was time to give her peace.

Our long term sanctuary resident, Zack, has gone to his loving creator. He came to me in December 2015 as a temporary foster, available for adoption. He was four years old. It did not take long to learn he was a bite risk so adoption was not an option.

We were happy to welcome him as a permanent resident, especially since the alternative was not acceptable. He was so darn cute and could be very sweet when he chose to be.

He had a very good and healthy life until recently. It was difficult to watch his decline. He slept most of the time and often did not want to eat. It seems he just finally decided to let go.

these sweet little ones have been with me for an extended stay while Lynn, their foster mom, recovered from surgery. They have been such a delight and I will miss them as they leave me. I will be keeping two (Lucy and Chia) as they need frequent medicated soak baths. Lynn cannot handle that yet.

Below are Gladys, Lucy, Sugarbear, Rosetta, Chia and Lucy

The rescue has taken in two little elder orphans. Rudy and Bear lost their Dad and had no where to go. I am told they were their Dad's children and very loved.

Rudy is 15 years old. His initial exam demonstrated he has severe spinal spondylosis, arthritis and blood work indicated he could have Cushing's disease. Further testing confirmed that diagnosis. He has been with us for a couple of months so has had time to be retested to adjust his medications.

Bear is 10 years old and very healthy. In fact, for an older baby, he is quite athletic. It's been a while since I had one that could jump on the sofa. He was so sweet as he sat at my feet waiting for permission to jump up for the first time. Apparently his temporary Forster did not allow dogs on the sofa. Now he is all over the place finding wonderful, comfy spaces.

Both of these boys are very sweet and so affectionate. They are always seeking love and attention.

They are not really bonded with each other. Bear is a very adoptable baby. If anyone is interested in giving him a loving home please contact me through messenger.

Rudy has been a big expense. Testing for Cushing's and retesting to adjust meds is high. And the medicine, Trilostane, is costly. Any help would be appreciate.

I have one more heartbreak to share, then I promise to bring some happiness and smiles.

Last Sunday night Ken left us and was able to find some peace and relief. I CAN SEE HIM SHOWING OFF HIS ATHLETIC ABILITIES IN GOD'S LAND and being very happy. But losing him was very hard and broke my heart.

We've been on a real rollercoaster with Ken for over a year. He's been up and down with health problems. Each new problem was tested, diagnosed and treated to the best of our abilities with initial positive results, but then he'd go down with some other problem. The real brake through seemed to happen when a gallbladder problem was diagnosed in December. He had major surgery and seemed to feel better almost right away. But it didn't last long. Within six weeks we were back to the diagnostic phase and he was found to have a new problem...an aggressive, rapid growing lymphoma. It was wide spread and there was only two options for his care. We could give palliative care and hope to keep him as comfortable as possible. Or we could try chemotherapy. Long story short...I was not in favor of chemo but was persuaded to consult with the oncologist. we saw her the very next day (Friday). She was not very optimistic but we decided to try one treatment of a mild chemo. That was a bad decision. He had every side effect that the oncologist mentioned. He was so sick, so weak and it was a horrible end to his precious life.

So now, my happy memories of Ken. Our story began with him in grave danger in a kill shelter. Long story to get to the end point of me taking into the safety of my rescue. He was an amazing pup. He was so strong and athletic. With proper training I am sure he could have been a champion agility dog. And he was sweet, happy and very affectionate. In the beginning he was available for adoption. I did several home visits for him but could not find a home that I felt was a safe and happy fit for him. So, he became one of our sanctuary pups. I am happy I made that decision. He was a house favorite to many of my friends, family and visitors. And he brought me much happiness. I will always have him in my heart.

A note of thanks to my friend, Judy, who sponsored Ken and also loved him very much. Ken and Judy enjoyed outings, car rides and many walks together.

Once again I am coming with very sad news. My precious Toby died suddenly at home on March 3. It was probably from the pulmonary hypertension (the same condition that took little Jet). He had been happy and eating all day. He'd come to me with wagging tail for attention. But when he collapsed that night, death followed immediately. I am grateful he did not live long enough to suffer and have difficulty with the recently diagnosed lung cancer.

Toby was always so special to me because of our beginning. He was the second hardest rescue I have ever done and he was so sick. When I secured him and took him to the vet he was starving, emaciated, in liver and kidney failure and was in high level heart worm infestation. My wonderful vet, Donna Kleinpeter, worked wonders with him and got him back into good health. That was in June 2010 and he was only a pup...about a year old.

To say his loss was devastating is not adequate. I will miss him everyday as he became one of my "heart" babies. He was Toby "the man".

First picture is when I rescued him.
