Kathy Keith scooped him up for us, and he later went to Khaz & Vicki’s place while waiting on transport to me in Florida. [...]
I guess it’s Deja Vu week. Shane reminds me of Charlotte, so much that even Charlotte’s owner, Donnie Smith, couldn’t believe it. Chaz reminds me of Jake. Polly Pocket reminded me of Nutella, both were alleged fear biters… yeah, right! It’s a real joy to foster a dog that you’re familiar with. You let them [...]
I want to touch on this subject, to help those who pull from shelters and pounds, and those who adopt from them. Many times, dogs have injuries, hot spots or sores throughout their body. Sometimes that is a result from a food allergy, or a flea bite. Sometimes these injuries were created by their handler. [...]

Foster Update: Since I’ve been fostering Chaz, I have been able to evaluate two totally different dogs, and I think having Chaz has helped me understand Max even more.

Peggy Baxley, a wonderful caring volunteer from Hall Co. tagged me with Jazzy’s picture on Facebook. So cute, but was there a typo? It said 12lbs. I had never seen a border collie that was 12 lbs! So I messaged her back. Did you mean 21lbs? Nope she said,not a typo! It was a mini-mini [...]
