Best Friends Animal Society Fundraiser!

One of my favorite charities, Best Friends Animal Society, is having a fundraiser and asking its past supporters, like me, to host a web page for fundraising. So I am!

Here's the link:

I have been supporting Best Friends for about 20 years, and remember when they were named Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. One of the things I love about them is they help animals nobody else will, as well as do wildlife rehab. They support all types of animals including bird, dogs, cats, horses, and pigs.

They are located in Kanab, Utah. Though I have never visited there, I plan some day to do the volunteer vacation opportunity they have.

Check them out.

Successful Adoption: Meet Boomer

After much searching and streams of paperwork for rescues that got us no where, we finally found our new beloved family member.

Boomer-Jack Russell Mix Pup

Meet Boomer (named after Lt. Boomer, played by Herbert Jefferson Jr. in Battlestar Galactica-1978). He's a five month old Jack Russell mix that is growing by the day. He has gained 5 pounds in the two weeks he has lived with us.

We located our wonderful pup at Greater Rural Rescue (Grrs) in Hoopa. They were super easy to adopt from. I called them up, made an appointment, and brought Maggie down. While someone watched Maggie I went and checked out the kennels. I picked eight dogs for Maggie to meet.  One by one she met the dogs. Some really liked her and she shrugged them off. Others she liked, but they ignored her. Then she met Boomer and there was a click.

Boomer was found at about a month old with his mother and sisters wandering along the Highway in Hoopa.  Luckily the Greater Rural Rescue had space and took them.  His sisters have been successfully adopted. I heard his mother may have been adopted this past Wednesday.

Yet, if you are looking for a dog The Greater Rural Rescue has many. They also have a very reasonable adoption fee of $35 and minimal paperwork.  You can find their most of their dogs listed on Petfinder.

Happy New Year! Health and Wealth and Love to all!



Indigo as a Butterfly



Happy New Year! 

I hope everyone had a lot of fun and is ready for a fresh start. My wish for everyone this year is more health and wealth. 

This last year ended with my sweet Indigo needing to be put to sleep. The battle with cancer she had been fighting was too much for her. She and I did put up a valiant fight with herbs, prayers, and walks. Dr. Nickerson had told us 2 to 3 months, and she made it a full 6. When she could no longer drink on her own and collapsed every 5 steps, it was time for her to give up the ghost and journey over the Rainbow Bridge. 

We are sad for our loss, but soon we will bring a new rescue into our home.



Happy New Year to all!
