For the love of a dog

Posted on February 9, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Today was a tough day.   One of my favorite dogs is going to the Bridge on Thursday, having been diagnosed with the same dread disease that took Max, and having no chance of surviving surgery and treatment, his mom has … Continue reading →

Remembering

Posted on February 8, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Today was one of those days when Maverick looked at me like I was the most horrible person he’d ever met, simply because I wasn’t amused with him playing tug of war with his leash in the middle of the … Continue reading →

Crazy Town

Posted on February 2, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

It seems that we have to visit Crazy Town once a week or so.   After a truly horrible day last Wednesday, I saw signs that training was starting to click, that things were improving, that there was light at the … Continue reading →

Randomly ranting about rescue

Posted on January 12, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

I think, if I see one more “adopt, don’t shop” post, I am going to throw up, loudly, explosively, and messily. In the past few days, I’ve had 3 encounters with dogs at the park that have not gone well.  … Continue reading →

And a wonderful walk was had

Posted on January 7, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Another year older, another year wiser, another year gone

Posted on January 2, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

When you think you can’t and find out you can

Posted on November 11, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

One of my friends is heavily involved in Greyhound rescue and has been for years.    Last week, the voters in Florida chose to ban greyhound racing.    The implications of this decision are far reaching.   I won’t go into … Continue reading →

Leashes, walks, and other fun stuff

Posted on October 26, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I learned several things this past week. First, don’t try to walk the puppy when you’re pissed off.   I was not pissed at the puppy, I was just pissed and took a walk to not be pissed.   Saturdays are days … Continue reading →

Tears flowing

Posted on July 30, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Today wasn’t a great day I’m not a morning person.  Wandering the field while puppy chews sticks and eats grass and taking stones out of his mouth, and leaves out of his mouth, and waiting for him to be motivated … Continue reading →
