The chicken ran away and the obnoxious blue jay stood its ground!

Even the squirrels are desperate to find a cool spot to lay !

Anyone know what kind of bird this may be?
One of the dogs in the kennel found it in the play yard, but I can’t find a nest.

She is gone!! 😢

Earlier on Friday ( 11:00 am) Puff had a bad episode of not being able to get up or breathe very well, I took her to the vets office.
On the way to the vet, she seemed to be breathing some better ( tongue wasn’t blue) and once the vet seen her she was back to almost normal color and wasn’t stressing to breathe as bad.
Sadly, Puff was diagnosed with a grade 6 heart murmur and put on 3 medications for her little heart.
Back home I made her as comfortable as I could, gave her medications and returned to the kennels to care for the other dogs.

This evening when I got into the house for the night, I observed Puff, she wasn’t feeling great but she was moving around, and ate a few bites of dry dog food.

Before going to bed, I repeated her medications with a small amount of canned food.
As a normal routine, I carried Puff to bed and we had some nightly one on one Puff time.
( she seemed to understand that during the day I have to care for other animals and bed time was our time, all my attention is on Puff for a short time and she enjoyed it).
I turned off the light, got into bed and as normal both Puff and I get in our favorite positions and fall to sleep.
Except within minutes, I felt Puff trying to get up and she fell back over onto me and je**ed her head twice, By the time I could get the light back on she was already gone.

Sometimes you have to make the decision to be a week early rather then a day to late.

Today was the day that Dexter let us know it was time to let him go.
As suspected, he had Cancer!

This past month I have prayed and begged for him to get better.
And for several days he felt better, he gained some weight and he started eating again. (high dosages of prednisone)
But he actually felt like s**t! He was not able to go walk and guard the property, he wasn’t able to greet any new animals or people who stopped by, like he has done ona daily basis for almost 10 years.
He would try every day to leave the kennels as he had done for years, but would only make it maybe 25 yards or so, do his business and would turn around and come back to the gate and ask to return to his kennel.( due to no energy.).
There he would wait on his special food that consisted of canned chicken breast , canned and dry dog food, he would eat as much as he could then he would go back into his dog house and sleep until he wanted to try it again.
Dexter was a very special boy that never harmed a thing. He had a very rough start in life, being sent to a shelter, some what rescued, but then left in a hoarding type situation where he and over 100 other dogs were saved, adopted to wonderful families and given the best life’s possible! (Thanks to Pam Schairbaum and some awesome women in Washington state).
Dexter was that one dog that had some trust issues and wasn’t really a very adoptable dog.
However, Dexter was the perfect rescue Greeter. He managed to be the first one to meet every new dog that came into the rescue.
He seemed to give them the low down on the kennels as they arrived.
Dexter will be deeply missed, but there will be no more suffering!

Dexter Morgan has been with me for almost 9 years. He was one of the first rescue dogs that came from basically a hoarding case at Kennels in the country years back.( he originally came from Murray county animal control). Rain City Rescue in washington state and I helped over 100 dogs find homes.

A few days ago I finally noticed Dexter wasn’t feeling the greatest.
Took him to the vet yesterday for bloodwork and X-rays. They kept him over night to give fluids due to dehydration, X-ray shows a possible enlarged spleen. And bloodwork show’s anemia.
He is loosing blood some where, or his body is not making rbc .

So now we are at another vet having a ultrasound preformed to see if the problem can be found.
Please send a lot of healing and positive vibes for Dexter!

Sorry for the delayed update.
Toby “biggun” is doing great! He had his neck surgery this past Friday.
He is looking and feeling MARVELOUS!

He finally got the idea that food comes easy here and he doesn’t have to scarf down his meals so fast. Yesterday was the first day he ate like he had some manners!

I have included a couple of updated pics and his last invoice.
His bills have been paid Thanks to all the awesome people that stepped up and contributed to his care. (Thank you very much, I couldn’t have done this without your help!)
He is Heartworm negative and now current on his vaccines.
One last thing needed, that’s to be neutered, hoping he can get done a week from tomorrow.(Friday)

Little one is hanging in there!
Day 5 I believe.
Unsure how old it is. However she is making improvements.
She eats great from a plastic spoon and now is learning how to perch on a stick.

Ok so this evening I have two updates!
I am unsure which one I am more excited about…
First update: I convinced the shelter hound that it’s safer in the kennels and play yard then running loose on the open and wooded property around here.

2nd update: The Great Dane with the damaged neck has been seen by the vet and treatment has begun!! Have to get rid of some of the infection using antibiotics along with daily cleaning and topical medication. Then he will be seen again on Thursday.
The next great part is I believe we have found a rescue that is willing to see him through the rest of his
treatment along with finding his forever home when the time comes!
Will continue to update on these two precious souls for a bit longer.

They shaved and cleaned him up nicely! Thank you ever who donated. Todays bill was 197.00

Driving down the road this morning I seen a dog eating on a dead deer, as I passed I thought I heard a puppy. I turned around to investigate and look what I found!
Ran into two hunters that said they seen the mom in the woods this morning with two pups following her.
Mom is a small black medium hair dog that is terrified of me and ran back into the woods leaving this little one to fend for itself.
I will admit it tried to escape but my heart wouldn’t allow me to leave it on the side of the road.
I am headed back to look for it’s litter mate now!
People please spay and neuter your animals! And for Pete’s sake quit dumping animals!!

Say hello to “Ginger”.
I have tried to get my friend to give her to me for over a year.
Finally today she is in my hands!!
Hoping she is willing to be moms new BFF!

Well Mr. Bundy missed out on meeting his maker one more time. Amber Ivey came to meet him and passed on him due to his size.( he is a big boy)
The guy that was suppose to come get him and take care of him for me ( I love animals to much to harm one) ended up getting sick.
So this morning I was talking to a friend that has a lot of hens and other roosters that free range. She agreed to take him off my hands.
He has gotten lucky one more time!
The reason he has to go is he is huge and he hurts my hen ( another rescue from the side of the road.) when he breeds her.
He has accidentally torn her back open 3 times now.
He is only doing what nature intended for him to do, but damn he doesn’t have to earn the name Jack the “ripper”
