This is Paloma. This poor 1 year old girl has been through a lot, but she is remarkably resilient; she is friendly, happy, and tail-waggy.

Paloma was brought to us by Bellingham and Franklin Animal Control after she was hit by a car. The officers found her with a painful broken leg. They knew this dog needed more help than they could give, so they called us. How could we say no? We are doing everything we can to help as many dogs as possible and there is no shortage of dogs who need us. We often talk about dogs from other regions, but local dogs need our help, too. We want to keep saying YES every time we are asked, but we need your support. Donating, adopting, and sharing our posts will all help us help more dogs💙

We have assessed Paloma’s injuries and we are going to prioritize a surgical fix. This will be more expensive than an amputation, but we want to do everything we can to try to save Paloma’s leg. Can you donate to help cover these costs so we can help as many dogs as possible?

Paloma will need to complete her stray hold as well as complete treatment before she is available for adoption, but we encourage anyone who would like to learn more about her to come down during open hours to express interest. Boston hours are 12-3 Tuesday-Sunday.

Today's reminder to an old trainer: Keep your eye on the horse in your hands. All good except a bruise on my leg.

Tam is our elderly horse (25), a well mannered fella. Loves attention & people. I've never seen him kick or strike at anything except a fly.

He was standing on lead being held by me while our fabulous barefoot trimmer Margaret Schoonmaker did her magic. We literally had just finished chuckling about horses being horses, always, and how we knew to never to underestimate what they can do in a heartbeat.

I looked away to admire our gorgeous rooster Bluey down at the other end of the barn, and suddenly felt a baseball bat slam into my thigh. Tam's front hoof!

It was a fine spring day, and after a long winter, the equines are feeling frisky and silly. Even nearly 25 year old polite old fellas who were eyeballing their 32 year old stable mate who *might* be eating out of the wrong slow feeder! (There are rules, you know...)

That hoof meets girl moment refocused me right smartly. Funny, as I often say that if your dog's attention is not where their feet are, you need to be careful. Tam's attention was clearly elsewhere. Which I knew. And yet I took his good manners for granted, and looked away from the horse I was handling.

He wasn't being bad or intending to hurt anyone. Just a very unusual bit of frustrated pawing that happily did not do me any serious damage.

Sunshine, warm breezes, green grass, frisky elderly equines -- and a reminder to this old trainer to keep *her* attention where her feet are!
