william wordsworth to sleep no offense to gary swanson of vice squad who is first credited with the line go ahead scumbag make my day but clint now owns the line in hollywood legend 8 comments filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as actor actress bedtime cats dogs hollywood pets february 19 2011 15 52 the bzzzzzzzz life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings jane austen to my friends and family who follow the blog and to my blog buddies thank you for your patience i am beginning a new work routine and the writing has suffered a tumble to the bottom of the list well not the bottom but it is hovering only slightly above the luxury of pedicures and the dismal chore of weeding flower beds the puppies have grown immensely they are beautiful and sweet hilarious and entertaining charlie is a fluffy little angel fairly relaxed but playful she s also making her brothers look like little slobs choosing the piddle pad over the tile floor i m so proud bravo who you may recall was the delicate little man when i brought them home is burly and strong his rather short coat revealing a muscly body ready for play he s the most adventuresome of the trio we ve had to chase him out of our closets and he stands on the gate shoving his tiny nose through to sniff at the larger dogs precious alfa looks like a furry yoda and has fallen behind the others in growth making him only more adorable he is by no means fragile however and loves to roll and tumble with his siblings as well as the occasional shoe duke had an extended play date with princess mocha sara s lovely chocolate lab i am sure he is now more spoiled than before but really isn t that what having pets is all about any dog behaviorists may keep your answers to yourselves i do realize the importance of discipline and training for the well being of both human and animal but who doesn t love a little spoiling in good measure dylan has left for an extended stay in colorado and all the dogs but particularly mike took some time relaxing after the change mike had never become completely comfortable with dylan and i imagine the poor fella was watching for dylan s reappearance at any moment you know the way we humans even muggles apparate and disapparate on whim so mike has been more wary and a tad more bark y of late i m sure it will pass the last thing i d like to share is this if my stories touch you in any way i beg you please please please look for ways to help the animals of your communities you don t have to foster or adopt you don t have to donate money or walk dogs you can and i will say it s a great feeling i love it it s not always easy but at the end of the day i m glad i jumped on board the crazy train this morning cherry blossom sara s yoga studio my work place hosted a fundraiser for friends of barc barc is the shelter where i volunteer we gathered donations monetary and pet goods had a small raffle and taught a special workshop donating the funds to fob it was a blast the outpouring of our yoga family was sincerely touching we simply did what we could do that s all i m asking again it isn t always about money though that helps and it isn t all about time though that s nice it s really about awareness something as simple as cross posting a picture and story of an animal in need is a contribution your signature on a petition regulating and admittedly i m not a fan of a lot of regulation puppy mills or some other act that protects our four legged friends is a contribution lend your voice it s more powerful than you may know i will now relinquish my soap box and work on a new post a post of puppies on the move 2 comments filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as adoption foster dogs mocha puppies sara january 28 2011 17 25

day in the dog house ah where to begin it s been a very busy week around the dog house the puppies have grown so much their eyes are now open and they can no longer be trusted to stay in their nest alfa is tipping the scales at a hefty 264 grams and little charlie s not far behind at 260 grams bravo seems the steady gainer at 256 grams as i said all eyes are open the milky baby blue that will likely turn to some shade of brown and after hours of googling puppy pics i can say the tinies look a bit like the designer dog ratshire chihuahua yes there are people who breed and sell puppies that take the rat terrier yorkshire terrier mix and add in a dash of chihuahua the dogs are adorable but i am currently constructing a soap box from which to rant about the foolishness of such breedings when i was a kid there were pure breeds and mutts and you could find both at the local shelter the same is true today mick our basenji still struggles to accept the presence of the two adult fosters mike and duke but shows an odd tenderness to the babies issuing a warning growl to the other dogs when they draw too close at bottle feedings the scrappy little fellow has picked fights with massive duke but gently cleans the little ones enjoying the warm sweet mix of milk and pumpkin that spills from the corners of their mouths at some point i ll create a page on my neonatal experience explaining the pumpkin but suffice it to say the pumpkin was a lifesaver bailey and duke show little interest in the puppies and unfortunately mike is indiscriminate in his taste and i have to keep all the soiled bedding well out of reach to switch gears a bit however mike is showing loads of progress in his fearfulness though he seems to meet dylan my teenager with new eyes every day he has finally allowed dylan to approach and will on occasion lick his hand and accept a scratch behind the ears duke is still the showboat he will need a very smart owner last night i gathered all the toys which duke loves to hoard and placed them in a little lidded basket i keep by the back door for pet supplies i ve done it before but not in his presence i wanted them out of the way so i could vacuum in a moment of distraction commonly described as adhd i began unloading the dishwasher and making a cup of tea rather than sticking to the task at hand as i stood at the counter cradling my warm mug and enjoying the waft of rooibos fruit and vanilla spice i spied duke lurking in the shadow of the pool table slinking around a table leg he craned his neck to the right to locate me and apparently not realizing i can see tip toed scooby doo style to the basket where he gently nosed the lid discovering he could retrieve his toys he made trip after trip to the basket removing one toy at a time hiding each under the pool table and finding to his delight a new toy a plush i d stored because mike enjoys nothing more than disemboweling stuffies once again i am astounded at duke s genius and determination his problem solving ability is such a pleasure to watch and i know i will miss his antics 1 comment filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as alfa bravo charlie dog rescue duke foster puppies toys january 21 2011 11 30 pushin a rock pushin a rock the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man s heart one must imagine sisyphus happy albert camus it s not that i m against setting goals it s that i m not a fan of epic public failure so it s difficult for me to post all the world to see and all that a blog stating with certainty that i will publish once a week for the entire year of 2011 but then once a week isn t really that often right i mean even when it s just a quote i like i post almost daily to facebook so what excuse would i have for failing to post to my blog 52 times over the next 11 5 months so there it is i ve made public my intention to blog once a week like sisyphus i will voluntarily push my rock up the mountainside and look for pleasure joy wisdom and meaning in the struggle comments off on pushin a rock pushin a rock filed under about uncategorized tagged as postaweek2011 sisyphus january 19 2011 18 25 gallery iii alfa

three new foster babies dumped at the animal shelter less than a week into their lives by well honestly i don t know and it doesn t matter i really don t care as it is of no consequence what i do care about is this trio of tinies named for the first three letters of the icao phonetic alphabet alfa the slightly larger male slightly because he is 1 2 inch longer than his sibs a whopping 6 bravo the smaller male and charlie the little sister according to their kennel card each pup weighed 0 2 pounds when i brought them home nestled in a towel padded shoe box after a long day walking dogs and showing pups to potential adopters if you ve been following the blog and doing the math you know we are now the minority species in the house keep in mind the title of this blogspot st rocco s tails if baptists practiced canonization my husband would most definitely be added to the rolls kerry shook his head and smiled as he listened to my story one of the shelter attendants jamaal a great kid with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for dogs approached me as i shuttled puppies the shelter had been overrun after the christmas holiday something close to 100 youngsters surrendered or found stray most of them larger breed mixes and hard to place to and from the nursery gallery hoping a few would find good homes his head hung low over the shoe box at the time filled with dirty t shirts they ve been here all day i ve got to find someone to take em they don t even have their eyes opened he d asked a few of the volunteers before he spotted me i asked him what he had in the box and he gently turned back the soiled cotton to reveal a huddled knot of black fur tinged with deep brown san a foster mom awaiting the go ahead to take two other babies home precious pit or possibly american bulldog mixes surrendered in a litter of nine gasped oh my gosh they re so small they were jamaal found some formula for san s girls and the tiny trio and we sat in an office for a brief feeding jamaal then explained a bit about neonatal puppy care 1 they need to stay warm so a heating pad is good check 2 they ll need to eat about every two hours or so i ve nursed three kids no sleep check 3 you ll need to help them go to the bathroom i think i know where you re going with this but humor me you want me to juice a puppy i d read about this recently so i wasn t shocked but anyone who considers fostering neonatals should be aware you are responsible for simulating the work of the mama dog or cat part of that work includes stimulating the wee one s digestive tract a mother dog will lick her pup in order to activate digestion relieve gas and encourage waste removal we ve come to think of it as juicing the puppies i gently stroke their backs bellies and perineums pretending to be the mommy dog to take my mind off the subsequent flow of puppy poo into my hand lap sink what have you i make up silly songs and coo words of encouragement happy bowels make healthy puppies so here we are on day four i m replacing the battery in the kitchen scale so we can do regular weigh ins but they have grown in length since saturday alfa is now 8 long bravo measures almost 7 and little charlie is at 6 5 she may be small but don t count her out she s the most active of the bunch attempting to crawl from the box making me very nervous alfa s stools are a little loose also making me nervous so we are watching him adding puppy pedialyte to his diet to keep him hydrated all of them are cuddlers and i can be found with puppies tucked into my neck or curled over my heart for warmth i can t speak for the laundry and dishes chores take a bit longer with feedings and juicings between to do items i ll try to update regularly and when they get a little bigger we can speculate over their breed but for now enjoy the gallery at your peril 0 warning they are dangerously adorable 1 comment filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as alfa bravo charlie foster puppies neonatal

forgiveness i haven t had a lot of time to write lately it s the same excuse most of us have at the start of winter the holidays it couldn t possibly be the two extra dogs in the house who in their first two or three weeks with us were too shelter shocked to do much more than sleep and eat but of late have taken to mad romps across sofa stairs and pool table yes duke has been found standing on the pool table of a morning surveying his territory however before i take off for a day of galavanting read running errands i have this thought if dogs have taught me anything it s that love is often measured in ounces of forgiveness and nature s miracle the stain and odor remover i realize my audience may respond with a collective duh about the correlation between love and forgiveness but how often are we truly struck with that correlation because when i was hosing down floor pet gate dogs and toys this morning after an altercation over most beloved purple kong wubba that led to micturition of the voluminous sort subsequently tracked about in the melee i found myself chuckling petting heads and soothing hurt feelings rather than scolding and shooing pups out the back door i have lost count of how much nature s miracle and hydrogen peroxide we ve used over the last month while the ratio of pounds of dog food to pounds of dog poop has become the subject of side bets math problems and good humor that the myriad of inconveniences involved in fostering has become joke fodder is evidence of the miracle of forgiveness extended by and to all members of my household two and four legged alike we are awash in forgiveness this post brought to you by nature s miracle stain and odor remover permanently eliminates all stains odors even urine odors other products fail to remove guaranteed or your money back available in a convenient one gallon refill 1 comment filed under diary entry uncategorized tagged as dog forgiveness foster nature s miracle pet older posts search
