I have some very sad news, sad enough that it has taken me a week to share. Last Friday our sweet little Daisy crossed over to her new journey. She was so very special and we are heartbroken.

Daisy came to us in November 2020. She was 16 years old and in very bad shape. She was only 3 pounds and very fragile. Several mammary tumors was the most immediate problem but she also had kidney stones, bilateral grade four patella luxation, mature cataracts, and very bad skin infection. Our wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Donna Kleinpeter, got her in better shape for surgery and performed her spay and removal of her tumors.

When Ida hit and flooded the sanctuary Daisy was with me. My wonderful friend, Lynette Matusicky, offered us refuge so we moved to a trailer on her property. She took over the care of many of our tiny babies and fell in love with Daisy. She has taken wonderful care of Daisy. With Lynn she received a lot of love and attention.

It seems her age and medical issues finally got the best of her. With heavy hearts we all agreed she was ready to rest. She will be very missed and always in our hearts.

Hello from the snowy south....yes, SNOW!!!!!
And it looks like we may break a record. The pups just don't know what to think of it. Most of them have not ventured out or have gone only to the end of the patio. Only Joan seemed to like it.

Good morning....

Good morning, friends.

I want to wish all of you comfort and safety during our coming arctic blast. These conditions may be normal for most of our northern friends but very unusual for us southerners. As you prepare please plan to include your animal companions and do whatever you can for our wildlife in your area. Good luck.

Our rescue got off to a rough start this year. I took a bad fall right before Christmas and fractured my left hand and right patella. At this time I'd like to thank my family and friends who stepped in to help take care of me and the babies. I am still unable to drive so am dependent on these wonderful souls for necessary transportation. I am working very hard on my recovery including physical therapy.

The purpose for sharing this information is to say I am so sorry for my delay in wishing all of you a wonderful new year. I hope 2025 is kind to you with many blessings and opportunities to make amazing new memories.

It's also a great time to thank all of our donors, supporters and followers. Our appreciation is more than I could express in words. But every single day I am grateful.

In the next few days I will be sharing an overview of 2024 and the status of our babies. Please stop in for our our stories.

Our sweet Mellie got adopted! Previous adopters, Bunnie and Gary came from Montana to visit with their baby, Bella (pink collar). Mellie acted as a trained therapy dog for Gary during his visit, watching him like a hawk and always by his side. Bella and Mellie bonded during their time together, and became even closer as they made the journey home! Mellie loves her new front porch where she keeps an eye on all. We are SO very happy for her!

Our little Zach had a high pressure eye and luxated lens. He had his eye removed Tuesday and came home yesterday. He’s feeling much better and less grouchy now. Laying by my side so he can have the cone off!

#FlashbackFriday to our babies singing their hearts out ❤️ they’re all just too precious for words

Luv to watch Sophie play ♡

Discovering how to have fun again ♡
Discovering how to have fun again ♡

Sophie playing is a treat to see.

A few updates: Below is Rosie in her foster home. She’s doing so well! Mini max has been at the vet since Friday. They discovered a large abscess behind her ear they they think might be a spider bite. The house is being gutted and dried out. It will be 2-4 months before we can move back in. The small trailer i am in is a tight fit with all the pups. But they are being so good. Toughest part is when i have to travel home. The dogs have to be crated for such a long time. Yesterday i had to meet with flood insurance agent. She was very late. Poor pups were crated for seven hours. That may not be too bad for some but mine are only crated for short runs to grocery etc. i suppose it hurts me more than them. They all survived!

June 9 Hunnie went for the Medvet oncology evaluation. The type of cancer she has is very rare. In fact, the oncologist said she had never treated this condition but was very knowledgeable about it. Pathology report showed clean edges on the tumors but this type is known to readily invade the lympatic system. She had more blood work, x-rays and an ultrasound. There is no evidence of metastasis at this time but needs to be followed closely. She will be going in monthly with Kobe for a few months. We discussed the probability of chemo therapy if needed. Mattie was worse so took another run to BR vet. She receieved a shot of Lasix and Torbugesic for the cough. My vet was able to get her in on the emergency cardic schedule for Monday. These double trips are tough. I am located just about in the middle of Medvet in Mandeville and my vet in Baton Rouge. Each is about a 2 hour round trip just in travel. It's so hard to keep up with the household chores and daily care while having to run this much. It would be wonderful to have a few clones (LOL), or at least a person dedicated to transport for me! We were also blessed to get a "sponsor" for Itsy Bitsy's care. She came by to visit the rescue and meet the babies between those two visits. She brought along some much needed items such as bleach, paper towels, potty pads, bandages, etc, etc. It was a short but very nice visit.

It's an adventure every time they enter the secondary yard

Presenting the choir...

I was able to bring Bonnie home on Friday. We are going to leave the sutures in for a full two weeks. She is very frustrated with the cone and with being crated. I fell very badly for her.

A little afternoon delight...it was so beautiful outside

Daisy was so depleted and quiet when she got here. Now she does not want to be in her soft sided crate. She wants to be out with the big guys. She is not bothered by any of those and just prances around like she owns the place!
