Meet Sassy… A friend of mine has been worrying about this adorable little Cocker Spaniel for quite a while now. Whenever she walks her dog down the road, she passes the house where this little dog lived. She lived her life tied to a pickup truck. She did have a dog house that she was [...]

Well, I don’t think that I mentioned that our local all breed rescue has been contacted because a local “breeder” who unfortunately was more of a hoarder died. This left behind 20+ poodles and poodle mixes, in addition to a Cockatoo, 2 cats, a kennel of pitbulls, a horse, just to mention the animals that [...]

Yesterday Dare and I drove to Salt Lake and had a great Obedience lesson! We got some really helpful hints on my handling of pace changes and turns. We also worked on her Fronts and Finishes and when I can get my brain, hands, feet and mouth all coordinated, Dare responds beautifully to the adjustments. [...]

Fall is coming to an end and winter is coming quickly. The forecast is calling for the possibility of snow this week. Ugh!!! I’m definitely not ready for that. I have been playing a guessing game about how long to leave the equipment in the field and I think I guessed wrong. Bleh This last [...]

Hehe, bet you all thought this was going to be yet another depressing post. Fooled you this time. I just finally got around to getting the new tire painted and assembled. Woot! As you can see, my husband had some trouble getting the tire to be 100% round. Hmmm…I’m not sure I’m going to able [...]

Well, all the adoptable dogs but one have now been bathed or brushed, or clipped, whatever the need. So, it was time to get some quick pictures of them this afternoon. Here are the two boys that were relinquished together yesterday… The pug is just a sweetheart. The Lhaso Apso is obviously the last of [...]

Fair warning, I just need to vent a bit. I got involved in rescue over 10 years ago. The last couple of days have had me thinking a great deal about what I was like back then and where I am now. 10 years ago, a small group of us in our area set out [...]

Today was a really gorgeous fall day. I got to enjoy spending it with friends and hiking in the hills. I can’t think of a much more pleasant way to spend the day. Our friends are down visiting and they brought their two dogs along. Dare just thinks that their new puppy Magnus is awesome. [...]

It’s here. Time for the fall pictures again. With each of the seasons, I find myself wondering where the time has gone. It seems impossible that it was over a year ago that I took the last fall pictures already. Anyway…I did get a few pictures of Zoe and Dare from over the weekend when [...]

Sorry for the delay in posting about the weekend’s trial. I don’t really have any good excuse, I’m just being lazy. Zoe did pretty well over the weekend. She was a little more sassy than usual, so we actually had two runs on Saturday that we didn’t Q in simply because we wasted so much [...]
