Mr Beez is my A-Driver today. Shot caller and all that. He says “stop”, we stop. He says “go faster”, we zoom zoom. He says “turn left to elude that copper”, we prep for prison time! My little Clyde. Really we’re just getting a hair cut and nuggies. He can’t see over the dash, so I’m narrating our fictitious adventure to him.

When people say “it’s always something”, it truly is ALWAYS something. We’ve had a lot of “something’s” over the past few months. So this week’s “something” was a failed mini-split in one of the cottages. The cottages are where some of our long-term sanctuary dogs, or kennel stressed dogs, can live to have more personal space, more outside time, and an overall quieter life than the main kennel. The HVAC repairman came out and removed the cover to find a giant nest and chewed wiring. I put on gloves and poked through the nest to find 2 of the cutest little trouble making white-footed deer mice. They’re lucky I didn’t tear those meeces to pieces! I let them live, begrudgingly. They likely have cost us several hundred bucks. I’ll know the total in a few days when I get the invoice from the HVAC company. After the wiring was repaired I sealed all the spaces a mouse could get through using wire mesh and cable ties. I’ve lost the sunlight for today, but tomorrow I will preemptively seal the other units as well after the stories the repairman told me. Anywho… stay tuned. We will do a fundraiser soon for the repair cost when we have it.

McGregor is modeling the cute blankie that Andrea from Humane Society of Amherst County sent to him! He helped their little paralyzed Brooke fit her wheelchair and gave them an example of the life a paralyzed dog can have, so Andrea sent this gorgeous fleece with wheelie dogs all over it since it made her think of us ❤️ How sweet! Thank you, Andrea ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to Mary W, who always sends food and goodies for the dogs, but ALSO sends a monthly BarkBox for Mater and friends. This holiday, she had an advent calendar, a treat game, multiple beds and goodies sent to us from BarkBox. The dogs LOVE their gifts and the advent calendar is so much fun!
