Hi friends,

We have updated our Amazon wish list with our most needed items - flea and tick for small dogs is especially important as we are OUT right now! Any help is MUCH appreciated!

A day in the life of running a dog refuge:

Wake up at 5:30 am after laying awake since 3 am because the dogs were scared from the thunderstorms. Have coffee while I feed and give meds.

Clean up any messes, change out dog bedding, start laundry.

Start my corporate America job 'cause there's no paycheck in dog rescue :) - I'm on conference calls most of the day. In between calls let the dogs out, do more laundry, sweep and mop the floors. The good news is that doggie doors are being installed next week, so they can come and go as they please!

After work, feed dogs and give meds. Clean up the yard and mow -we have two big fenced yards and a field, so mowing takes place 3x a week this time of year. Take care of SPR social media and emails, unpack any in-kind donations our wonderful donors have sent, and ensure thank you messages are done.

Usually at least once a week, sometime 2 or 3 times a week, there is a vet visit in the evening so I don't get home until after 9 pm

Weekends include shopping for supplies, more heavy-duty cleaning, and dog washing.

So, have I convinced you to start a dog rescue yet?

Hi everyone!

It has been a busy week with vet visits!

Rascal, Rachel and Wanda have had various illnesses, Ozzie and Rascal were in for annual checkup and vaccines. Five dogs are on prescriptions!

One more is due for a dental and at least another 4 are coming up on annual checkup time.

SPR vet bills run between $25,000 and $30,000 per year. If you can help we would truly appreciate the support!

SPR now has a Walmart gift registry! We will continue to add items we need, but here are a few for now!

Senior Paws Rescue provides a refuge for rescued senior dogs to live out their lives with care, companionship, and lots of love.

A rare vent.....

When service teams come to SPR (pest control, 811 marking, cable install) they hear the many dogs barking all at once. There's no way they could NOT hear it.

So, they know I have dogs, and they see the fenced yard with the gate closed....right?

Yet several just open the gate to the yard and come walking in. If there are dogs in the yard, there are a couple that will get out a gate FAST. Also, how do they know whether any of the dogs bite? They don't know.

I've had two pest control people just leave the gate open when they leave. I HAVE DOGS. Leaving a gate open means some get out and I am chasing dogs around the neighborhood, not to mention the risk of one getting lost or hit by a car.

Yes, the accountability for the safety of the dogs and of the people who service my property belongs with me. But these agencies sometimes come unannounced and I have no time to get the dogs inside. And even if I do know they are coming, isn't it common sense to close a gate after you open it, especially when you can SEE and HEAR the dogs in the yard?

I now have to put chains with locks on all the gates and walk around with service visitors because of this. Which means I have to unlock a gate every single time I need to go in or out too.

Sissy crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.

I'm sure she met up with Minnie, they came into rescue together.

She was strong until the end. She and I sat in the sunshine under a tree outside the veterinarian's office for a while before it was time to say goodbye.

She was small, but mighty. Rest in peace my girl.
