Critter Comforts Doggie Daycare/Extended Care And Training

This is Harry, he was my sister Pennies best friend. I fostered and rehabbed him. Pennie stopped by one day and they fell in love! She took him for a nice walk down to Park Square where he met lots of people at the Farmers Market. When they returned I could tell they were smitten😊 She stayed for awhile and we had a nice chat, all the time Harry sat in her lap. He wasn't an extremely affectionate dog as the first year of his life he didn't get much care. So I knew something was happening! When it was time for her to go he watched her leave and then waited by the gate for awhile, I think hoping she would come back. That evening about 5 pm Pennie suddenly appeared at my place and said " I want to take Harry home with me tonight and I will bring him back tomorrow..... he never came back to live with me. From that day on they were stuck like glue to each other. They were seldom apart but when they were Harry was with me which was his second favorite place to be. They were together for 15 years!
Pennie passed away December 18 2024, Harry followed her just a few weeks later. Together again, forever.
The grief I have been going through for the loss of my big sister, my best friend, the most important person in my life, has been extremely difficult and I keep it all to myself. This morning I felt that it was time to honor their bond and then realized it was the anniversary of Harrys passing.
If you are lucky enough to connect with that one special dog that immediately becomes part of you and your life count your blessings.
Pennie and Harry were blessed beyond measure.
I miss them immensely.

While the dogs and I were outside a mature Bald Eagle flew in low then landed in the tree just across the alley. She was close but not close enough for me to get a very good photo with my phone. This was the best I could do. She stayed there for about 20 minutes! Luckily I didn't have any little dogs today. Archie and Burrito are the smallest but I think a bit too big for her to take. But I did keep them close to me just in case. I was thrilled! The last time I had a Baldy land and stay for awhile was when I had the Huge old Gramma Pine tree in my yard, the tornado took her. Still sad about that!

This morning was a bit too chilly to be out longer than to go potty and then back inside but this afternoon we have had longer visits outside. Everyone was excited to be able to roam around, sniff, play a bit and simply enjoy our yard! I thought you would enjoy seeing a pile of dogs all vying for the front window😊

Today we welcomed Barbie to our Pack! She has done very well and has played a bit with a few of the pups! Barbie was adopted about a year ago by a wonderful woman named Janet whose previous dog Sweety was a regular here. Barbie will
Come to stay when Janet is away and maybe an occasional school day. The Pack greeted her nicely and showed her around. She is a very good girl! Welcome Miss Barbie🩷🐾🩷

Wishing all of you a wonderful new year filled with amazing adventures with your pups, warm cuddles on the couch, fun new toys, perfect car rides and a TON of love. Thank you all for a great 2024. Your companions have helped me cope with the worst grief of my life and of course the sadness I experienced when I had to say goodbye to Rosie. They made me laugh when I really didn’t feel like it, they gathered around me when I shed tears, they made me rally in order to provide the best care possible to them. They truly saved me. For that I will be eternally grateful. You are my family and I care deeply for all of you. Thank you for all the love and support and help you gave me in 2024! I could t do this without you🩵🐾🩷

Thank you to each and every one of you who donated to my Birthday ask for LightShine Canine: A Rez Dog Rescue . My estimated amount is 427.00 !!!!! I am blown away by your generosity. That amazing amount will go a long way to help rescue so many in need. You fill my heart with gratitude. There are so many dogs, cats, puppies and kittens on the reservation who need life saving help and with your generous donations so many more will get their paws off the ground and into the arms of LightShine where they will get food and water, medical attention and go on to many rescues in Minnesota who will find them loving and caring homes where they can live the lives our dogs are blessed to live. You all made my Birthday a very special one. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.

Little mangy ones.

Scooped up today.

Happy New Year sweet little wonders.

HELP ME CELEBRATE
I have a big Birthday coming up on December 26, I cant believe it but I will be turning 70! Most days I don't feel that age and I am SO grateful that I can continue to work every day doing what I love best! I get to provide a safe and caring and educational environment for the Packs to do what they love best which is to truly be a part of a Pack. They develop life long friends, run and play, chase squirrels, lay on the patio furniture and sun themselves on the structures in the summer with their best friends, The watch out the windows from their raised beds in the cold months and the scouts tell the Pack when the mail carrier is coming, when their people are here to pick them up from school , the wrestle and play with each other and their toys and just generally function as a good and balanced Pack.
We welcome our companions into our lives and provide them a TON of love, good food, good veterinary care, we get them groomed and give them warm coats 😊 we take them on fun walks and give them play time and family time, we let them sleep in our warm beds, ride in our cars, we get them pup cups at the drive thru, we get them Birthday presents, dress them for Halloween, we hang their stockings along side the kids stockings, we give them yummy treats and lots toys, in general we give them absolutely everything and they are happy and loved.
The dogs and puppies on the reservation get none of that. They don't know what it's like to not be hungry, cold, hot, thirsty and most assuredly not loved or cared for. I think of them often as I care for the Packs and am so thankful that a handful of women voluntarily drive long distances to pick up dogs from a ditch, crawl under sheds and houses to scoop up a litter of new born puppies, and then drive more hours and miles to get them to a Veterinarian and eventually to rescues who find these deserving souls wonderful homes with loving people who give them everything they need. LightShine Canine: A Rez Dog Rescue isn't a typical rescue they are in fact first responders. They are boots on the ground working hard to help the thousands of dogs who don't belong to anyone and never will and they do it all without pay and pay out of their own pocket expenses for medical, gas, car repairs, dog food etc. They need help to continue their dedicated work every day.
In honor of my 70 th Birthday I am making a donation to them with a 7 in it. I ask you to join me in this by donating any amount that includes a 7. Honestly even $7.00 will make a difference to aid the dogs in getting to live the life we provide our dogs. I would be forever grateful. Thanks for taking the time to read this and to hopefully participate.

‘Twas the Saturday before Christmas and all through the house…Many people were scrolling and came across this little mouse.

Our $1250 matching challenge to help us with the care and transport of medical needs babies continues today.
