It's been so long since I last updated. I haven't written anything since before we got Pepper. After losing Daphne, I didn't feel like writing and I guess things have just been going soooooo fast. Summer is always like that. I am NEVER ready to go back to school. I will never understand these crazy teachers that can't wait to start school again. ( Read more... )

First of all, Casey and I decided to add a final and fourth pet to our family on Friday. Casey has bugged me for several years about getting a Sphynx (hairless) cat. JT and Niki have a hairless cat and Casey thinks they are the greatest things ever. Since I absolutely refuse to buy from breeders or pet stores, I would only rescue a hairless from a ( Read more... )

I have finally started to come back from Cosmo's death. I decided that I needed to keep going to the shelter and volunteering because there are so many other dogs that need someone who really cares about them. I have been staying busy with school and graduate school (yuck), but have still tried to squeeze in a couple days of volunteering when I can ( Read more... )

He had been at the shelter for one week after his owners relinquished him after a divorce. He was an amazing dog who was leash trained and seemed to love everyone.

This week I was on Spring Break so I managed to volunteer at Animal Friends 3 times. I would like to go again tomorrow, but I really have so much to do around the house that I'm not sure if I will or not. I walked dogs on Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Monday and Friday were pretty typical with not too much activity. I did help one family adopt a ( Read more... )

So I am a bit late updating, but I had a second memorable day with Animal Friends this Saturday. I volunteered with the Pet Mobile at Petsmart in Bridgewater Falls. I became interested in going out with the Pet Mobile after meeting Jim in obedience class with Daphne. He is a huge volunteer at the shelter and fosters something like 10 dogs at a time ( Read more... )

So, I decided that I am going to document my times spent volunteering at the Animal Friends Humane Society in Trenton, Ohio. I started volunteering there one week ago to make myself fill more fulfilled in my life. Animals have always been one of my strongest passions, especially dogs. So, I decided it was time to start really helping in any way ( Read more... )

My weekend was very interesting as usual. Friday night was supposed to be date night, but Casey did not feel well and stayed in bed. Go figure ( Read more... )
