It’s been a while

July 4, 2021 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

I didn't realize it had been six months since I was here last. Time flies... Dani is still our little neurotic pup, but she is doing so much better. She is now walking on a leash! This a funny story. When we first brought her home, trying to get Dani in a harness was an … Continue reading It’s been a while

Gentle journey

September 12, 2018September 16, 2018 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

We said, "goodbye" to our sweet, dear Hershey this morning. She has been a special part of our family since 2006 when our daughter came home begging to rescue a little chocolate Lab puppy. Hershey's first weeks with us were rough, and she barely survived the parvovirus that killed the rest of her litter mates. … Continue reading Gentle journey

Taking it to the streets

March 9, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 25 Comments

In lieu of a photo hike Saturday, Mister went with me to the Big City to take our little Asta to see a specialist about her injured hip. Our vet sent us with a referral to an orthopedic doc to get a second option about whether the pin holding the break together could be removed. … Continue reading Taking it to the streets

Broken bones

February 5, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

It’s been two full days, and our new fur kid, Asta, is assimilating nicely. She’s not as shy, coming to us when we call, and letting us pet and hold her.  She’s playfully interacting with our older dog, Hershey, and seems comfortable in her new home. One reason we were so charmed by her, is … Continue reading Broken bones

Welcome home, Asta

February 2, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

She's home! After an interminable two-week wait, our newest fur kid, Asta is finally home. She is the sweetest little, Lab-mix, and Asta's older 'sister' Hershey is accepting her adopted sibling as if she was always a member of our family.  Po isn't quite sure about Asta, but I think she's warming up to her. Our … Continue reading Welcome home, Asta

Opening our hearts and home

January 24, 2013January 31, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 13 Comments

Last weekend while I was out on my photo hike, the Mister hit our local pet store to get a few things for the fur kids, and happened upon an Adopt a Pet event. Not too far from us is a HUGE no-kill animal refuge. They take in all sorts of creatures, not just dogs … Continue reading Opening our hearts and home
