Anna Banana

September 4, 2010 at 5:50 am

Well, there’s really not much to say. I don’t have it in me to go into a long discussion. Let’s just say I’m both sad and a little bit mad. Anna, our Sanctuary Pyr, has Osteosarcoma. It’s shown up in her right, rear leg. We’re going to fight it as long as we can. We’ll…

Great Pyrenees to be Euthanized

August 28, 2010 at 11:51 pm

I sit here at the computer, staring at all of the emails and lists of Great Pyrenees in need, and instead of becoming sad I become angry. Smile after smile, brokenhearted photo after brokenhearted photo, I wonder how people can be so irresponsible, heartless, selfish and cruel. You’d think by now that this would be…

The sweetness of Toffee

June 19, 2010 at 8:00 am

I suddenly felt the urge to write about one of our most stunning girls – Toffee. I looked at her today, sitting nicely beside me as I made my dinner, eyes watching me closely (the only thing on her that moved), fluffy and cuddly, and simply gorgeous. She was praying that I’d drop something. I…

Spa Treatment

April 28, 2010 at 6:27 am

“Why,” you ask?  I have no clue. “How,” you ask?  Princess Amelia has an odd fondness for dunking her entire head into the buckets of water. She apparently thought the mud puddle was equally as appealing, making a point of doing so before it’d completely drained out (shortly before I’d dug a line to drain…

Catching up

September 1, 2009 at 11:53 am

I must apologize for being so behind on my blogs. As mentioned in the previous post, I have been working far too many hours and have barely had time to sit for 5 min at the computer in “relax mode.” I’m either at the computer working on the “real” job or rescue, doing the daily…

Pups

July 31, 2009 at 6:52 am

I thought I’d post a few pictures of the new babies.  I decided that their names would be Kala, Keely, and Kiley (try saying that fast three times!).  They have really opened up and become more affectionate, excited to see me and to give me hugs and kisses. We had our first trip to the…

Updates…multiple.

July 25, 2009 at 9:11 am

I realized that in all of my sadness, I’d forgotten to mention a positive note, as well as just give a general update on things.  Let the stories begin! First, Miss Claire Bear has found her forever family in a lovely little town outside of Athens, GA with a Pyr savvy, very nice gentleman.  He…

Now it’s time to say goodbye to Bianca, & an overdue to Humphrey.

July 16, 2009 at 6:19 am

Sweet Bianca, a Great Pyrenees, passed away today after battling with repeated seizures.  Bianca was one of my rescues that was placed with a family in Tennessee.  Bloodwork and tests showed no abnormalities, but of course there are illnesses that don’t scream their identity.  Sadly, it hit her hard and the seizures were repetitive, taking…

Yet another Farewell

May 29, 2009 at 4:57 am

She was my first “official” rescue in April of 2000 – Miss Belle. She came to me almost identical to Maleah, only with a little more hair on her head. 47lbs, 10 months old…emaciated. Animal control had taken her away because her college girl owner had locked her in an apartment bathroom…her and her  boyfriend…

Burton assists

May 2, 2009 at 1:10 am

As I’ve mentioned before (I think), when I moved I purchased an older home.  While there has been a great deal already done on the house, there is still a great deal more to go.  At this point I am trying to do things via a list, completing things in what seems to be the…
