Leinie Update!

04/16/2012

Well, it has been almost two weeks since Leinie arrived.  He was a very nervous, timid dog when he first came to us, with a lot of nervous urinating and hiding.  He spent several days sitting alone in a lazyboy on our porch before he joined the rest of our pack and started interacting with […]

Goodbye, Old Friend

04/14/2012

We have had a pretty brutal storm here this past week.  Although we didn’t experience flooding like the valley did, we still got hit with a lot of rain, hail and winds.  We really need as much water as we can get, so I’m definitely not complaining! In this last storm, we lost the 100+ […]

The Bucolic Life

I thought that as  today being Easter, that it’s a great day to share this photo of a new calf born the other day and her momma. 🙂     Happy Easter!

The Beginnings of our Garden Venture

04/7/2012

Last weekend I finally got our seeds started.  It’s still been cold here, especially at night, and far too early to plant any of these plants in the ground.  Most people I know buy vegetable plants and don’t start seeds, but we wanted some more unique and gourmet varieties of vegetables and hopefully we’ll get […]

Meet Leinie

04/3/2012

Yesterday, I picked up our second foster dog, Leinie.  He’s a short-haired red and white border collie (possibly a mix) and I don’t think he could be more than a year old, if that.  He’s a small dog and very sweet, but he’s a little shy, nervous and scared. Leinie (named after one of our […]

Paddy is now adopted! :)

03/31/2012

Our first BC Rescue dog, Paddy, was adopted today! 🙂  He went home with his new family and will now be living in Sacramento.  His new momma is a wildlife biologist and an athlete and I’m certain that he’ll be very happy in his new home.  🙂

Paddy is now online!

03/27/2012

It’s been a wonderful week and a half with Paddy!  He’s been learning how to catch frisbees, bring them back, and drop the frisbee for us to throw again.  He really is an exceptional athlete such a quick learner.  I think he’d be great at agility or as a rescue dog.  He is really good […]

Paddy’s First Week

03/24/2012

It’s now been a week since Paddy came into our lives.  A week full of one of the happiest, sweetest dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. 🙂  So happy and blessed to have rescued such a wonderful dog!  He’s going to make a family very happy when he gets adopted. Paddy had an […]

Paddy, Day Four

03/19/2012

Paddy has been adjusting well to life in our home.  He’s getting used to being spoiled with love, attention, treats and canned food.  Yesterday we took him out for the first off-leash and he and Doc ran around catching frisbees and balls and letting their energy out.  It has been raining and snowing since Paddy […]

Paddy, Day One

03/17/2012

Today I picked up our first foster dog for the Border Collie Rescue of Northern California.  He is a red and white neutered male long-haired border collie.  He was rescued from the Merced County Animal Shelter and found as a stray roaming around Atwater, CA.  While I was there I also checked on a female […]

Border Collie Rescue

03/14/2012

Yesterday, I went down to the Merced County Animal Shelter and met with my first foster dog rescue.  He’s a 2 year-old red and white border collie and very friendly, loving, and playful.  It makes me wonder why his previous owner is not looking for him…. but at least now he can go to his […]
