Your Pet’s At Home With Us

Schatze gets 3 walks a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (for almost five years, no missed appointments). And she loves her life of luxury! To borrow a saying:

“Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow nor heat of day nor dark of night shall keep this pet sitter from the swift completion of his/her appointed rounds.” Herodotus, 500 B.C. .

She lives with an Octagenarian who loves her dearly and makes sure she gets the right amount of exercise, proper diet and meds. Schatze is an Octagenarian too in dog years!

Eddie – A stray who cares not for our many dogs. He gets to live with Salty, another stray cat of ours in luxury in our basement away from the hustle and bustle of the dog community. He also has a scenic patio with a cat door that overlooks our outdoor dog pen area. A beautiful, unique looking cat who knows how to take care of himself.

We inherited Eddie from mom when she died in 2002. Mom got him from a neighbor who came down with cancer and could not handle him anymore. The neighbor got him from… Let’s just say Eddie’s been around!

This is the weirdest looking one of the bunch with a heart of gold.

Here is another pic of her.

Franklin is a pedigree yellow lab who will knock you over with his friendliness!

We had the joy of fostering a Husky that had his right front leg bent backwards through abuse and was then abandoned to the local shelter. Volunteer (unpaid) Veterinarians at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington performed surgery and straightened the leg. Puppy spent a night in severe pain (he was heavily medicated though).

After a couple weeks it was apparent to all that the leg was not healing properly and the leg was amputated. Juno spent another night in pain (again he was heavily medicated). Three legged dogs actually do quite well in life. They don’t let it bother them.

Juno has now been adopted. We miss him terribly but it is for the best (we already have plenty of creatures roaming our house). The new caretakers/adopters provided the slide in this video with Juno getting doused with a hose. This is a dog that a shelter saved and has already brought much joy to many people including us!

Below is a picture of Juno all grown up and taken recently by his wonderful new family in Vancouver found over at FeffandFairy. He has captured their hearts too.
