Its been about a month since i was at the shelter to grab Big Mike for another rescue. While i was there i took a look at this little girl and i instantly started to cry. Of course i would take her. For a day, a week whatever time she had left or for years if her tumor was operable. I had a vet appointment the very next day for another dog. I could have easily swapped and got this girl seen … the very next day.
Paperwork being done when out of nowhere the shelter manager said I couldn’t take the dog. She wanted the dog euthanized there. There was no changing her mind. So i left cried all the way home and while i was driving home she was euthanized. This dog deserved more. Look at the pic … pretty obvious she had a sh*tty life and then got to die in a sh*tty shelter. I will never get over this.

This morning she is up and asking for breakfast. Second pic was just as she was coming too. It was a quick surgery so I am hoping no damage to her kidneys. It had to be done tho. Sooner than later. And let me add Big River Veterinary Acupuncture is my heart. Dr Tacia worked on our horses and after years decided to go in a different direction. I was not happy she wouldn’t be available to the horses but what a blessing for our dogs. Dr Tacia is a one in a million. Truly all goodness wrapped into one human being.

Layla is at the vet today. She has a tumor in her ear. It was removed when she had her eye removed a few years ago. Dr K said it would come back and slowly but surely it has. Today she is having it removed again. I so did not want to put her thru this but something had to happen. She didn’t want me touching it to clean or medicate and when she picked at it it bleed. Waiting for the call that i can pick her up. Prayers please that she suffers no ill effects from this 🙏. She will be 18 on August 16.

Thank you to those who donated to the feed fundraiser. We got loaded up last week and thanks to the donors the bill was covered. Sincerely THANK YOU. Thank you to the grooming donor. The groom bill was $900 … help is always appreciated and needed. Doing sanctuary the right way is expensive ❤️❤️❤️

Pudge and Jimmy. Pudge has now completely lost use of his hindend and the front end is getting weaker as the vet said it would. We have an appointment Monday to take him in and let him go. HARD HARD HARD. Pudge was a cruelty case seizure. The best is we know he has lived the last few years treated with love kindness and respect. SO HARD.

Groom day for seven of our rescue residents — Cricket, Benny, Sugar, Gigi, Moe, Luke and Crazy Chip. Six of these dogs came from our local shelter … Chip was an owner surrender. Hot Doggy Dos is truly the very best. Ive been using groomers for thirty five years and Hot Doggy Dos is the best. If you are local check them out … you wont regret it. Grooming is a necessity for a half doz dogs here. The other short haired dogs we bath ourselves. We could use any help with todays grooms $5, $10, $20 it all adds up 🙏. We spend so much money taking care of these dogs. Vet bills, wet food, dry food, medications, supplements, grooming, euthanasia and cremation. I am constantly digging into my retirement account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We need to buy dog food, horse feed and pig feed this week. We buy from a local small business The Crabby Mare. Anyone in a position to help with a donation towards this weeks order … it would be greatly appreciated. We have had two farm tractors worked on last week and funds are low. $342 will cover the order. $5, $10, $20 … it all adds up. And by the way this dog food is fantastic. The ingredient list is great.

We had a freedom ride yesterday. Big Mike here had been dropped in the night box with a note saying he growled at the kids and didnt like big dogs. Marked as rescue only there wasnt much interest. A day out of the shelter with volunteer Melissa turned it all around for Big Mike. Turns out he is a sweetheart. We grabbed him up yesterday and handed him off to another rescue this morning via our longtime friend in rescue Dena. Have a great life Big Mike. Be a good boy ❤️
