Seems like everywhere we turn lately there is bad news…financial failures, job losses, people at war. So my New Year’s resolution is to include a positive message here each week. My plan is to record the message and post the audio link. My challenge is to learn how to do this ASAP. 😉 Check back […]

Remember Gypsy, the 10 year old red female who I saw in the Pasado’s Safe Haven Magazine? I first wrote about her here on November 3rd. She was adopted by a man from Alaska who saw her info posted on the ACD-L by my friend Eileen and flew to the Seattle area to pick her […]

Friday came and went and the breeder did not show up to visit or pick up this dog as promised. He stayed at the impound for an extra 2 weeks because the breeder who had identified him said she would come to pick him up on December 5th. He tested positive for heartworm and now […]
