Super Trooper 05/07/2011
 
Hi :)

It's been 3 days since our drive home from Vt. and things are going
great! Trooper has done super and seems to have fit right in. He is
very laid back and calm and just wants to be loved. He has a crate
and has even gone in it by himself to take a nap. He was alone for
about 2 hrs the other evening and I left him in the hallway with his
crate with the door open and he did fine. I will do the same when I
go to work, there is a low window that he can look out of. I bought
him several toys before getting him, but as Brian said, he only likes
his rope toy. Thanks Brian for sending that with him.

He has his dog license and I called the microchip company and switched
the contact info to my own. We went to a local conservation area the
other day and walked the trails for about an hour. He found a turtle,
left it alone, and then chased a squirrel. lol. There's a pond there
and he went in far enough to get his paws wet/muddy. I think we'll go
back there today for awhile. Yesterday we went for a walk in the town
and he did great on the leash. At night he sleeps in the bedroom on
his dog bed. He's met some of my family and friends and likes
everyone he sees.

I've attached some pictures, I've been taking a ton of them. Thanks
again for all you do for dogs, and a big thanks to Brian and his wife,
they're very special people and I know it was tough to see Trooper go.
Let them know he's very loved here and is doing fine. :)

Also, I have a collar for him and I would like to send you the Lupine
collar so you can use it for another dog. Please send me the address
so I can mail it back to you.

Thanks again,

Joe & Trooper

So many cats... 05/03/2011
 
So you may have noticed A TON of cats in this "dog rescue" recently. There are a ton, probably millions or more of cats in need in the world and I have a very hard time saying no when it comes to animals. Some have come here under the guise of "barn cats" and they were way to friendly to have in the barn, others were in danger and volunteers took them in. Whatever the reason we have been really, really lucky to have some great volunteers that love cats step up and help out. While I do not really want to get into the cat rescue business they have made it a lot easier to get these cats rescued,vetted, and adopted. So I wanted to say THANK YOU to Mary Lou for transporting and arranging the vetting for the cats and kittens, and to Jessica and Karen for fostering them. If there is anyone out there that has a passion for cats and wants to start a cat rescue... we would throw our full support behind you and do everything we could to support your cause.
Her are a couple of kittens that were recently adopted and are loved and adored by their new family.
