Anna Banana
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…

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…
Great Pyrenees to be Euthanized - continue readingThe sweetness of Toffee
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…

“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…

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…

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…

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…
Updates…multiple. - continue readingNow it’s time to say goodbye to Bianca, & an overdue to Humphrey.
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…

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…
Yet another Farewell - continue readingBurton assists
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…
