Sweet Boy Tony

I adore Tony. I just do. He is so sweet and loving. A goofy collie boy. It’s fun to have him back. He’s settling in just fine, almost like he was never gone. He hasn’t changed a bit. When we got him last September he was so needy and desperate for attention. [...]

Tony is Coming Back

*sigh*… overwhelmed. Can you say “Overwhelmed?” We are getting our old foster boy, Tony, back. Big smooth sable collie boy. I think something else might be mixed in there.. I need to find a picture of him and post it up. As much as I love Tony, he’s a handfull. Mainly because of Lucy’s [...]

Marley the Springer

Well, Thursday before we went to Colorado for the USDAA trial in Brighton, Colorado… I got an email from Springer Rescue saying they needed a transport for a Springer to his new home in Boulder, Colorado.
And fortunately the driver of the Fun Bus is a Springer guy! He has two of his own. [...]

Jezi

And speaking of dogs… here is Jezi. This is the ‘collie mix’ that the Ogden Shelter called me about last August. I took her, as we didn’t have any fosters at the time. Imagine that.
Anyway, my good friend at work adopted her! And she’s a happy girl now. She came camping [...]

Thinking of Closing Collie Rescue

As you may or may not know, I started Utah Collie Rescue, Inc., at the beginning of 2007. I have been doing dog rescue for about 10 years, probably more like 11 or 12. I’ve mainly been fostering, I love to foster and help out the dogs that need a place to stay [...]

Fixing the Broken Dogs

I tend to wonder what my rescue dogs would be like if I had gotten them, socialized them, and trained them from puppies. Tatum is the one I wonder about the most. I think she would be a complete confident terror if I would have gotten her at 12 weeks old from a [...]

I Want to Bury my Head in the Sand

I am just burned out with Rescue. Seriously. I don’t want to do it anymore. I want to stay home with my dogs and entirely ignore the overpopulation issue, all the tens of thousands of dogs that die every year because people don’t understand them, expect them to humans in suits, and abandon them.
It’s [...]

Foster Dogs over the Years

For the last few days I’ve been loading up my dog pictures from my old album backups and into Flickr. Flickr is very convenient and easy to use, and it helps me not use up lots of my server space.
We have helped a lot of dogs. I am proud of what we [...]

Poor Muffit

Well the newest member of our family, Muffit the Muppet, isn’t feeling to well so we took him to the vet today. Poor guy. We got some new meds for him. And the vet wanted to take his blood.
Well, he would have none of that and boy can that boy squirm. He was [...]

Muffit the Muppet

This is Muffit. Okay, his name started out as Wheatie, and then he came to live with us for a while as a foster boy. And for some reason, I just wanted to call him Muffit! Remember Muffit, the mechanical dog from the original Battlestar Galactica? Well, yup, that’s what I [...]
