"I adopted your dog today.
The one you left in the shelter.
The one you had for 10 years. That you don't want to keep him anymore.
I adopted your dog today.
Did you know he lost weight?
Did
you know he is terrorized and depressed?
And it seems he has lost all trust?
I adopted your dog today.
He had fleas and suffered from winter.
I guess you don't care what state he is in?
They told me you left him.
I adopted your dog today.
Did you have a baby or did you move? You have at once
a developed allergy? Or there was no reason,
why couldn't he stay with you?
I adopted your dog today.
She’s not playing and barely eating.
I think she is very sad and will take time,
before she gets her trust again.
I adopted your dog today.
And here we will love him.
He found his forever family.
And a warm place to relax.
I adopted your dog today.
And I will give him everything: patience, love, and safety.
So he can forget your cowardice. "
Peace Ever.

Is with Out To Pasture Sanctuary. Three of these goats were going to be slaughtered a few days ago. Their owner has been Ill and having a hard time taking care of them. OTP had a vet neuter the boys and do a bio screen on all of them. We also are helping the owner with feed for some of her other animals. We are looking for a place that can foster these six goaties through February or even adopt them.

So wonderful

Every month Martín’s parents took a trip to see Grandma and came home on the same train the next day. One day the child said to his parents:
“I'm already grown up. Can I go to my grandma's alone?"
After a brief discussion, his parents accepted. They stood with him as he waited for the train to exit. They said goodbye to their son and gave him some tips through the window. Martin repeated to them:
“I know. I've been told this more than a thousand times."
As the train was about to leave, his father murmured in his ear:
“Son if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!"
And he put something in his pocket.
Now Martin was alone, sitting on the train as he had wanted, without his parents for the first time.
He was admiring the landscape out the window. Around him some unknowns pushed themselves in. They made a lot of noise. They got in and out of the train car. The conductor made some comments about him being alone. One person looked at him with eyes of sadness.
Martin was feeling more uneasy with every minute that passed. And now he was scared. He felt cornered and alone. He put his head down, and with tears in his eyes, he remembered his dad had put something in his pocket. Trembling, he searched for what his father had given him. Upon finding the piece of paper he read it:
“Son, I'm in the last train car!"
That's how life is, we must let our kids go. We must let them try new things. But we always like to be in the last car, watching, in case they are afraid or in case they find obstacles and don’t know what to do. We want to be close to them as long as we are still alive.

My dad has bees.Today I went to his house and he showed me all of the honey he had gotten from the hives. He took the lid off of a 5 gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey there were 3 little bees, struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowning. I asked him if we could help them and he said he was sure they wouldn't survive. Casualties of honey collection I suppose.
I asked him again if we could at least get them out and kill them quickly, after all he was the one who taught me to put a suffering animal (or bug) out of its misery. He finally conceded and scooped the bees out of the bucket. He put them in an empty Chobani yogurt container and put the plastic container outside.
Because he had disrupted the hive with the earlier honey collection, there were bees flying all over outside.
We put the 3 little bees in the container on a bench and left them to their fate. My dad called me out a little while later to show me what was happening. These three little bees were surrounded by all of their sisters (all of the bees are females) and they were cleaning the sticky nearly dead bees, helping them to get all of the honey off of their bodies. We came back a short time later and there was only one little bee left in the container. She was still being tended to by her sisters.
When it was time for me to leave we checked one last time and all three of the bees had been cleaned off enough to fly away and the container was empty.
Those three little bees lived because they were surrounded by family and friends who would not give up on them, family and friends who refused to let them drown in their own stickiness and resolved to help until the last little bee could be set free.
Bee Sisters. Bee Peers. Bee Teammates.
We could all learn a thing or two from these bees.
Bee kind always.~

This shelter logic (first pic) has been great until two nights ago when wind totally destroyed it. I went to harbor freight and got temporary tarp as little Maisey and big Bucky do not like the rain. Whst I would like is one of those other buildings I took pictures of. About $1500 to $2000. So any donations or materials or labor would be much appreciated. You can make donation at website through paypal or check to clinic at 165 E 1st Ave. Estacada 97023. New at this asking thing. I also have some art pieces left from past auction that you can buy. I could do a gofundme but will start here

Sweet Raelynn. My elder girl. We rescued her and her sister Bobbie about two years ago. They lived in a small 5x5 shed with no windows and lots of mud outside. We had to carry them to the trailer. Raelynn was sick. Had pneumonia and almost died. She was under the care of three vets and she made it through. She loved her pasture. She was wider than long. She walked with a limp from arthritis. She greeted me with a loud blaaat every morning so when that didn’t happen today I knew something was wrong. She passed during the night. I am very sad but so grateful that she got to spend glorious summers here and a winter under a cozy heat lamp. She was my favorite. Took her a while to trust me but she was finally letting me pet her. Don’t know exactly what happened. She was fine the day before but one of the vets said her lungs were severely compromised. She got lots of great remedies and so glad she got to live here. Thank you OTP for helping me rescue her. Thank you Greta Ossman for helping me bury her. Happy trails beautiful.
