Happy Birthday Jesus....no matter the actual day month or year, it is the remembrance that makes all the difference. Thank you Mom for teaching me the reason for the season and the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all my Family in Heaven. And Merry Christmas to all my Extended family of Adopters and to All The Paws I have ever been blessed to help find their homes. God's Blessings be Yours. And Merry Christmas to All

Known as the Christmas Star the Guiding Star, the Star of Bethlehem that marked the Birth of the Savior of this world. There have been stars made bright by planetary alignments. And long after all events surrounding the birth of Emanuel in Bethlehem elements were put together to create the Christmas traditions. So many reasons for each, all with good intentions of remembering this birth. As for me, I don't care what the actual day, month or year, or time was of His birth. I only care that He will always be remembered as the Real Reason for the Holiday Christmas and that Christmas will always be celebrated in His name. All that is needed on this day is a simple, Happy Birthday Jesus just a recognition. To my own People to recognize is to give truth to. And we know the Good Brother by the words handed down through the last 2,000 plus years of the one who walked with us and planted the Tree of Peace and gave to us the Original Instructions on how we are to live by. He brought righteousness (reason) to the Haudenosaunee People. None of the rest matters much to me. My mother always said of me, "You can take my daughter off of the reservation, but you can't take the reservation out of her." There, the true ways are still practiced by most. May the Native Way always be protected and preserved and may we all learn to walk the red road in harmony with all of life. All are one

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the rescue Not a Border Collie was stirring , not even the Sheltie. The stockings were hung by the cook stove with care, In Hopes that St. Santa Paws soon would be there. The BCs were nested all snug in their crates. While visions of tennis balls danced in their heads. And Grandma Summers in her PJs and red therapy pad, Had just settled down for a short winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, She sprang from her bed to see what was the matter. Away to the door she flew like a flash, Pulled open the door and threw back the latch. The moon on the the breast of the new-fallen snow showed clearly the tracks made by a pick-up truck. An unknown person/s with unknown intentions sped across the backyard down the length of the dog kennels and only inches from hitting them. They made their Escape down the second driveway by the unlit barn. The Police were called the incident recorded and the officers were told that if they return it will be to retrieve the body of the unknown. Grandma Summers is old and sick but her aim with a new lens is waiting to be tested. Moral of this Winter's Story....Never Underestimate an Old Lady protecting her own.
Let this post serve as the public announcement that Indian Summers Border Collie Rescue's Private property is being trespassed upon and intentionally harassed and intimidated and the rescued animals endangered by unknown person/s for unknown reasons and it will not be tolerated. Dr. Victoria Summers, Indian Summers Border Collie Dog Rescue resident caretaker.

Join with me in welcoming the newest member of the Indian Summers Border Collie Rescue Extended Family of Adopters. The Schwab Family, who added one of our sweetest sets of paws, Kimmie to their family. Kimmie is Tonka's wife and mother to Marty and Charlie Stock-Baum, Rosie Joyce, Mari Stratton, Drew Stott, Cole Albright, and Hal and Maisie yet to be adopted. And as fate would have it Kimmie's adopting mom, Sandra, and her both share the same Birthday, month and day 11/11 Nov. 11th. I've only had that happened twice before in my 50 years in rescue work. And all of them were exact and correct birthday dates, via ABCA registration papers. This will be Kimmie's first Christmas in her new home and I'll be excited to see pictures of her under the tree.....not the tree on top of her....LOL She's a big girl with lots of energy and play. You know, the Bull in the China Shop kind !!! Everyone at Indian Summers RezQ loves Bossy Mom Dog Kimmie. She is a true find and a loyal, loving companion.
