While most were asleep in the early morning hours - our sweet Inez went to the Rainbow Bridge in her Moms arms - I will make a proper memorial post later this week - right now there are just alot of hard emotions but I ask that you please keep Courtney and her family close in your heart as this was a very hard loss

Hey lady how many steps do you have in so far this morning - Funny you should ask Grizzy because as of 11:00 this morning I have 8,987 steps in and half of them came from playing your famous "catch me if you can" game - but look at that smile

I love living in the woods until it’s time to walk Montana 😂. Today the crows were taunting him and he was focused hard on the crows and not going to the bathroom.

Our super senior ( 17 years old) - sweet little Inez has already had 2 visits into the vet this year and has another appointment this Friday - her left eye decided to form an ulcer and we have been dealing with that - seems the new medication we started last week is helping more and she will go back for a recheck this week.
She is just beyond precious and is so so loved by her amazing sanctuary foster family - thank you Courtney and family

Best thing I did all day was put an empty box on the couch to throw away but needed to switch the laundry so set it down - came back and Tiny decided he would take a nap in it. That means peace in the house 😂

Yes we are a mainly dog rescue but through the years we have taken in several kittens and cats - mostly ones that shelters reach out to us about that need major medical and if we have had the means to help them - we have taken them in - the issue with us taking in cats/kittens - it is almost impossible to adopt them out and that I why I try not to do it but it seems at the end of summer we were hit with several situations and low and behold we ended up with 4 kittens in the rescue - all different situations and basically nowhere else for them to go
Nimbo being one of those kittens - he was found hiding him some brush on the side of the road by one of our fosters - so scared and starving - the area was searched for more kittens and none were found - but like wise no place for a 1 pound kitten to be - so he was caught and brought into the rescue - he has had all his vetting and just recently neutered and is still looking for his forever home
Want to learn more about Nimbo - head on over to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and click on adoptable pets - he is estimated to be 5 months old now and is right at 7 pounds, it is way past time for this boy to find his forever family - he is so ready to share his love and shenanigans with a family he can call his own

Happy Monday rescue family - It's a cold one here this morning - we went from warm weather to freezing - pouring rain to snow showers - never know what you are going to get hit with when you walk out the door these days.
I had a phone call over the weekend - someone was told to contact me because I take the hard dogs , the dogs nobody else wants to deal with because of behaviors, etc - yes we have taken in so many dogs over the years that without us taking them in - either because of behavior or medical reasons they would not have gotten a second chance.
But let me tell you , my house is full of hard dogs - Buster here being one of them - Buster came to us on 4/30/22 - there was several chi's at a local shelter that could not be put on the adoption floor due to their scared behavior - Ashley and I went to the shelter and agreed to help them - they were all loaded up and left there in the kennel was Buster - growling, snarling and nobody had been able to handle him - they asked if I was sure that we wanted to pull him and I said well I can't leave him behind so gloves were put on and he was put into a crate - the whole way home I talked to him and he growled and looked like Cujo with foam coming out of his mouth because all he wanted to do was get to me as he kept lunging at the crate door and I said well this one is a firecracker for sure - as most of you remember - I put him in my walk in closet - put a gate up, opened the crate door and every day I would sit on one side of the closet after feeding him and just talk to him - there was no luring him with treats - but you see I gave him the space he needed - I never forced him to do anything that made him uncomfortable and then one day he army crawled over to me to take the treat and quickly retreated back to his crate - this went on for days until one day he though my lap looked inviting and he crawled in my lap - I remember crying as it had taken me weeks to get to this point but once we got to that point , I was his person, and to this day I am his one and only - my hope was to one day find him a home - a patient home with no men and let me tell you I had so many people contact me and say " Well what you don't understand is that my husband is a dog whisperer " and my reply was the only thing your husband will be whispering is for more pain meds at the hospital because he will get bit.
After almost 4 years here - I am the only person he likes and I do not think that will ever change - Todd has tried - oh how he has tried and Buster is like nope, and I learned its not just men he does not like - it is everybody but me - and he will bite given the opportunity - so we never put him in a situation where that will happen - we have learned to make it work and I can do anything in the world to him - he loves nothing more than to be held like a baby - me rubbing his belly and he softly snores and goes to sleep
Hard dogs (especially when you have several) are not easy - and yes we have taken in many - it was never in the plans to bring another hard dog here because my plate was already overloaded but Montana ended up here and yes he is a hard dog - mainly because of his strict feeding schedule and then you know sometimes you get a wrist broken - but you see once they enter the rescue - you commit to them and you do what has to be done.
I told the person that called this weekend that I was unable to take any more "hard" dogs in because I had several already that are sanctuary dogs and at this time I am unable to add anymore - they said well so and so said you would take him and I said well so and so was wrong and then I got the spill of well "why do you call yourself a rescue" and I said I don't know maybe ask the dogs that are here and they will tell you why.
As Mr. Todd says - Buster is an ar****le - and indeed he is - I don't know what happened to him in the past but he is my little ar****le and we make it work
Hard dogs will push you to your limit some days - they will make you question a lot of things but at the end of the day - they also teach you more than you could imagine.
And also please do not promise people rescues will take a dog - that is not the case - I am getting a lot of that lately - that is not the way it works
Here is to a great Monday rescue family - make it count

The Amazon packages started rolling in today. Have been without internet most of the day , my guess is from the flooding rains today, the back yard turned into a lake. Some dogs loved it , others looked at me and rolled their eyes
A big thank you to Margaret Thompson , Missy Fowler , Donna Gray , Melodi Hylbert and Dana Stevens
Pickles gets a whole treat now 😂
