All of the dogs except Buddy Beagle — who was indoors doing a detailed inspection of his eyelids — were outside horsing around when Lennon discovered a ropey toy that had been spirited outside and tucked away. Lennon didn’t want to stop playing with the girls, but he wanted to chew that ropey later, so […]
Here it is the last day Rebel will be spending with us and I finally got him to speak to me (instead of screaming). Rebel, Blondie, Callie, and I were all in the den after breakfast. I had the den door closed to keep Buddy Beagle from harassing Rebel – which he has been doing. […]
This has been a busy week, and one where not everything has gone forward. Selma Selma has held steady. No real progress, but no backsliding. She has been sleeping in a crate in the bedroom with the rest of us. She does okay with this except that the positioning of her crate leaves a narrow […]
This has been a busy week for all the dogs — and me. Rebel Rebel’s big event this week involved a plush toy. Actually two plush toys. On a particularly rainy, cold day I decided to break out a special toy to amuse him so he wouldn’t be bouncing around the house trying to get […]

Here we are about to exit 2018 and start a new year, so I thought I’d recap Rebel’s progress here at Piney Mountain Foster Care. You may recall that when Rebel arrived here, he was critically underweight. With the help of probiotics and special kibble from Cedarwood Veterinary Hospital, his guts have healed up and […]
One of Highland’s favorite dog toys is — or was — a snake plush toy that has been gutted, leaving just the “skin”. But Highland likes it a lot. It’s his favorite crate toy. Highland was neutered on Sunday. He absolutely insisted on licking at his incision. That’s bad, he must not do that. I […]
