We have been getting some rain, but not quite that much. However, I know you’ll cut me some slack on the light blogging and the delay of a new Runway Monday design when you see what’s been occupying my time. We’re still fostering three of those precious puppies at The Compound; the others are being fostered elsewhere, until they’re all ready for adoption into new homes. Most of them will be traveling to Colorado rescues courtesy of a new transport rescue group that Timothy has helped found.
You and Tim have been rewarded for your work with the love of many four footed companions and it will only multiply many times over as you grow older. Thanks from Renee, too.
Thank you, Rob and Renee. As a rescuer yourself, you know you get a million times from them what you give. They are so deserving of being cherished.
Dog is your co-pilot. Molly is always trying to help me find the squirrel she enjoys chasing around the yard. Although she wasn’t a rescue dog, she seems to have rescued my parents. They’ve been host for most of the summer to some dogs that had nowhere to go after the Black Forest Fire. But, now that those dogs are back with their families in random other homes until they can reclaim and rebuild their original lots, and with all the water restrictions we’ve had, the parents are attempting to start-over the dead grass in their yard for next year. Then, the flood rains came. I’m sure there are families out there still that need to be rescued by a rescue dog! 🙂
They give us so much.
Your parents have my fervent gratitude for the assistance they gave the families affected by the fire. Sometimes our animal companions are the reasons we can stay strong in the face of anguish and loss.
Molly, Pixie would definitely be your squirrel-chasing buddy!
I know it well! Some evenings we’ll be sitting in the living room watching TV when Renee will get up, walk over to where I’m sitting, rub her head on my leg and go back where she had been laying down.
She’s the best.
I could never go to a rescue centre. It would break my heart – and I would want to take all the dogs home with me!
Chris occasionally talks about getting a third dog – perhaps when we finally move to a house?
Yes, they can melt your heart. It’s why people become dog and cat hoarders.
I think working with rescue groups helps to feel like you’re saving some of them, even if you can’t take them all home. I admire Lisa for volunteering and taking out dogs at her local shelter for exercise and socialization.
There are so many ways to help, and no gesture is too small, whether it’s dropping off some pet food occasionally, checking what items a shelter may need, or making any size donation. After all, a thousand people donating a single dollar (or pound!) can make a huge difference!
