Hi there. It's us. We don't post much at all but we're still here. Janet and the 4 volunteers who have hung on, still here with our 54 aging dogs. In the midst of the war in Northern Israel which you may not hear much about but is unequivocally occuring under everyone's nose.

The dogs had a very rough go at first. The loud sounds terrified them and many tried desperately to escape, injuring themselves in the process. We lost a few, some related to the stress and some who had simply reached the end with their various cancers and illnesses. But we remained here with them until the end. We hung on with them through the end of summer and snake season, on through the rainy and cold winter, past the strong winds of the dawning of spring. We run in circles trying to find enough food every day, exhausting ourselves and stretching our budget to it's extreme limits.

We're still here now. The dogs have adjusted shockingly well to the sounds of artillery, fighter jets, air raid sirens, missile barrages and yes, the resonating boom of direct hits. We are located mere kilometers from the typical Hezbollah targets so we have luckily not faced any physical danger to our dogs. Their resilience astounds me every day. I find strength in them and of course in Janet, our very own wonder woman.

We all desperately wish for this to end, for our hostages to return home and the 60,000 Northern refugees to be able to return home as well. We wish for quiet days for us and yes, also for our neighbors. We wish to not have to live in fear, for our dogs to run free in the fields without worrying if they will suddenly run away from a siren. Until that time comes, we remain here at our beloved Calbiat HaBashan. We don't have much of a choice in the matter - they need us.
