[Dog-sitting] Meet Sadie
A friend of mine in palliative care had an outpatient procedure done this past Friday, so I am dog-sitting for the next week or so...meet Sadie, a Boxer-Pit mix - here she is sniffing the start of the snowflakes on my deck this morning
So far, a very quiet, polite houseguest it also helps that I’ve dropped by 4x/week since August to help with dog-walks, so she is pretty used to me anyway More to follow... |

Always glad to see folks contributing to pet-related charities, especially during the holidays since Cosmo passed I’ve been donating a small fixed amount to our local Humane Society monthly...also just had a couple memorial bricks (for Cosmo and Clara) added to our local animal shelter’s new tribute garden, will have to post some pics, was excited to see them installed a couple days ago

I kinda quit doing that. Donations are terrific, but you know what they really need? Stuff. Leashes, collars, bowls, food and oddly enough? Paper towels. I prefer to just buy the shit myself and drop it off.

Same...no food though, since most around here have monthly sponsors for food. Puppy pads and cheap dog kennels are big hits for adoption shelters...(Harbor Freight, Target, etc...) |

Sometime around the 12th of Never
To be honest, I am content to just dog-sit as I have a lot of health issues I am contending with right now...but my friend, while not yet terminal, may pass away at some point in the future, in which case she will need a home. We’ve had that discussion already, and I have agreed to give her a home here with me So, while I’m not seeking it out, it may happen anyway some here may recall Cosmo and Clara coming into our care after another friend of mine passed away unexpectedly...it appears I may just be the ‘keeper of orphaned dogs’ |

Not sure if “palliative” care is hospice, but we see that so often at the rescue. Sweet, well loved family pets get brought to the shelter after someone dies. It’s horribly sad and the poor pet doesn’t understand. Often they are so depressed they refuse to eat.
Good on your for loving their fur baby during their time of need. ❤️👍 You’re a good man Mark. |
