Kylo is being such a good puppy at our event today!

Autumn is a sweet and friendly cat looking for her forever home. Her foster mom wanted me to hear how vocal Autumn is and how loud she purrs. I would say that the Foster mom wins the award on this one for the best purring.

In any case, Autumn is looking for her forever home. She would love to be able to be settled into her new home by Thanksgiving. Can you please share this far and wide?

Autumn is located in Lake County Illinois. Apply go to www.aear.org.

Sherman Update

Our senior dog , Sherman, has completed his heartworm treatment and is healed from it. When we took him from the shelter, we were told that they thought he was around five or six years old. Sherman is much, much older than that. He is probably more like 12 years old.

We are working on managing his arthritis. He also has what we think is some dementia based on some strange behavior. We are doing the best we can to make him comfortable and manage the behavior. We realize that it’s a longshot that somebody will adopt him.

Thank you so much to Jen and Bill who have been taking care of Sherman for us. While we still hope that he finds a forever home, at the moment we consider Sherman one of our angels of the orphanage.

Please help us continue to help dogs like Sherman by going to our website and becoming one of our angels of the orphanage. What that means is that you agree to make a monthly donation to help us continue to help Sherman and everybody else that stays with us long-term. (You can cancel anytime.)

Our website is www.aear.org. And to all of you that our angels of the orphanage now, thank you so so much on behalf of Sherman and everybody else.

I need someone to pick up this display in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and bring it to Libertyville Illinois. This is to display our artwork at different events. Please message me if you can help.

The woman selling it said she would wait until noon before she sold it to someone else so if anybody could commit to going there to get it soon, I would be very grateful we could really use it.

11/03/2024

We are looking for a foldable kitchen island to utilize as we need around the orphanage. If any anyone has something similar to this and don’t need it anymore and live within our area, we would be very grateful to take it off your hands.

If you have anything like that, please let us know 🙏❤️

A Morning Tale

“Where have you been, Mama!” Shanty cries out. “We’ve been waiting, like, forever.”

Mom closes the door behind her and looks at her demanding charge. “Good morning, Shanty. Today is no different than any day. I start by taking care of the dogs and then I take care of you and the other cats. That’s how it works around here. And why are you yelling?”

“ I’m absolutely starving mom!”

“ Shanty, you cannot be starving. You had dry food.” Mom shakes her head at the dramatic teenage cat.

“ Yes but I want tuna.”

“You want tuna…what?”

“Yes, I want tuna.”

“ How do you ask for tuna?” Mom says, hand on hip.

“Please, Mom, Please.”

“ OK, but as we walk into the other room calmly, you share with me what you are grateful for. Let’s begin,” Mom waits.

“I’m grateful for this house…” Mom begins walking towards Auntie Nikki’s office and the food.

“Yes, Shanty, keep going.” They walk together towards the office.

“I’m grateful for the tuna you are going to feed me…”

“Yes…”

“And Noodles…”

“Yes…”

“And that Dad is going to build a catio…”

Mom stifles a laugh and says, “ that is seriously not happening kid. So come up with something else.”

Mom begins rummaging through the canned food to find the tuna. Noodles saunters over. “Hey Noodle. How’s it going this morning?”

“You know, Ma,…living the life.”

Shanty looks at Noodle, “no catio, Noodles. Mom’s sure this time.” She looks genuinely depleted.

“Thats alright, Shanty. I’m OK with just looking out the window. I still get to see the birds and the sky. And at night, I get to see the stars in the sky. So it’s OK. Thank you for trying, though you’re a good pal.”

Mom looks at Noodles and can’t believe what she’s hearing. “Noodles,” she says in awe, “ that is wonderful. That’s a good way to look at things. I’m proud of you.”

“Yea. This place is contagious,” Noodles replies.

Mom stops preparing the food, long enough to look at Noodles laughing. “What do you mean this place is contagious?”

“ It’s the word I learned this week. Our house is contagious. That means we spread positive thinking and love everywhere.”

“I love that Noodles. You’re a smart cat.”

“Yea, I am.

The end

Dove Update!

Dove and Pigeon were rescued last week from animal control. Here’s what Dove’s foster mom has to say:

“She's been out with the dogs all morning. We've been chilling watching tv and asked been right amongst them. Mine are respecting her space though. Not really bothering her at all. Still having a hard time getting her to potty outside. She come very fast in a short amount of time. “

Dove still has to be spayed but then she can get adopted. www.aear.org.

Consider fostering…wherever you live there’s a rescue organization AND an animal that needs YOU!

Pigeon is now with the other dogs at the orphanage. She’s doing well. But she needs a home so let’s not forget that! She still needs to get spayed but she sure is a great dog!

Nothing Like It…Nothing

It’s been a wild morning, as it usually is at the orphanage. The kittens are playing upstairs. Mama cat Sabrina is tending her newborns perfectly. Algebra has had some attention in the art room.

We needed to integrate Pigeon with our dog crew. She had two intros with everyone since taking her in and with having the time today we decided to take the next step.

After another visit outside romping and playing we all headed inside. Chuck folded clothes while I prepared food in the kitchen, the dogs mingled and us supervising.

Now all tuckered out I sat down and George, Penney and Kylo Puppy jumped on my lap. Then Pigeon found a spot amongst them. Everyone melted into my body and all fell asleep and the sound of peaceful breathing around me.

Heaven on Earth. Seriously, this moment is heaven on Earth.

Love this so much!!!

Cisco is doing pretty well. He’s grown to really love me in his quirky, breeder dog, Cisco, neurotic way. But he is still terrified of Chuck, sadly.

It’ll be a long road. We are in it together one day at a time.

Happy weekend everyone!

I saw this statement on social media and decided to share in the hopes to inspire others. We need more people in the animal rescue world that believe in this idea.

About ten years ago now I was preparing to do a big event in Cook Memorial Park in Libertyville when a man running for senate approached me. He was in town to try to win votes. He asked me what I would like more than anything else to change in our area .

I told him that I would like animal rescue organizations to work better together and to stop fighting each other. I explained that if we all work together to help the animal community so much more could get done then we could do individually.

He asked me how could we get that done? I told him to start with we would need to meet with all the other rescue groups and shelters in the area and talk about some of the things that we can do together to make a difference. He agreed that if he gets elected he would make that happen.

He did end up winning the seat and true to his word he got an intern involved in working with me to come up with a plan for how to get everybody together. The intern worked tirelessly to arrange a meeting…a lot of groups skeptical of the idea…but we got it done.

About 10 groups met and we discussed what we can do to help the animal community together. Unfortunately there were so many inflated egos involved and so much separatism ingrained it never did really get anywhere. It was disappointing to me but not at all surprising based on the climate at that time in our area. So, I let it go and I kept doing my thing.

But the truth is that a true leader does bring people together. I believed that then, and I believe that now. A true leader also has a vision that they share with everybody that is around them and lifts everybody up so those ideas and concepts can come to reality. They don’t put people down or create negative chaos.

Someday maybe everyone will work together with big egos aside for the greater good…helping animals who need us. Some do, some don’t…In the meantime I’ll continue to help other rescue groups or shelters as they ask and do my thing and cheer everyone on.

Happy weekend!

Sandy❤️💪
