Meet Lily

We are not sure what kind of dog Lily is but she is a great dog. About 2 1/2 years ago I got an email about Lily. It basically said she needed a home or she was going to the pound. This was right around Christmas. I talked my husband, my boyfriend at the time, into taking her. So we went and got her and brought her to my house. We looked at her paperwork and she had just been adopted two months prior from the pound. The girl got her and then realized she didn't have time for her.

Right away she snapped at Angel but we thought she was nervous. My husband took her to his house about 2 hours away and she lived with him, Missy, Kristen and my father in law for awhile. Everything was okay for months but then it got bad. Lily is very aggressive with female dogs. It got so bad we had to put her outside with Spot. When we built the house we tried to have her live inside with Angel and Missy but she got so aggressive it scared me. So Lily lives outside in a big yard, with a huge house and her buddy Spot. Spot loves the company even if she is really bossy.

Lucky

So Lucky is now almost 9 months old and he is so big. It will be interesting to see how big he gets when he starts to fill out as he gets older. Him and his momma are together-he is a lot bigger than her now. They do well but he steals her treats. Hard to believe I was bottle feeding him not too long ago and that Lola was sitting on top of him to keep him warm.

Fundraising update

Strut your mutt!

Every day, more than 9,000 pets are unnecessarily killed in America's shelters simply because they don't have a home. Each one an individual. Each one a valued life worth saving. 9,000. That number should be zero. And it can be.

Best Friends Animal Society and their No More Homeless Pets Network Partners are joining together to bring that number to zero. I invite you to join my Dog Pack (aka team) as we "walk" in Strut Across America to raise money that will go directly back into our community to be used to fund adoption programs and spay/neuter services, ultimately impacting the number of pets entering and leaving the shelters.

Please support my efforts in the 2012 Strut Your Mutt by donating to my page. Your donation is tax-deductible and our organization keeps 100% of the money raised. Together, and through your support, we can bring about a time of No More Homeless Pets®

Thank you for your support.

Tired puppy

Missy spent almost all weekend outside loving this weather. Reba who hates the hot and wanted to sit on the couch all summer has decided that even though it has cooled off a lot she still wants to sit on the couch all day.

Cooler weather and grass!!!

It has cooled down a lot here and all of the animals are loving it. The horses are able to spend more time in our second pasture and enjoy all of the grass. They spend a few hours at a time over there and we always know when they want to head back to the barn because Jack stands at the gate.

Can I get a few more beds please?

We stacked the beds up to sweep and found Lola sitting on three of them. She is the diva!

Rare moment

Missy was outside and we were busy around the house..then we see this. A rare moment of calmness at our place with 4 of our 5 girls sitting together. Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Picture for Grandma

Hey Grandma,
Look we got the tree planted. Also notice the fence we put around it so our kids don't dig it up.
