A Slice of Summer

A little peek into the goings-on at the Rescue Barn this summer. 
Three of the pups are mixed-breed dogs who were found emaciated and sickly, but are now bouncing back. The husky-x pup – ‘Chessa’ – came from a breeder who has asked for help with placement and spay/neuter for Chessa’s parent dogs. Adult pit bulls Snorkles and Mila make an appearance, as well as mentor dogs Eddie (pit bull) and Elliot and Billie (husky/shepherd mixes). Finally, in the last slide, is the tiny ‘Lily,’ who is new to our program. All photo credits go to Kathy Kinnear.
Enjoy.

Matzo meets ‘his’ cats: Slow and steady wins the race

Image
When Amy and James asked to  adopt Matzo Ball,  they told us they had two cats at home, in addition to their two dogs.  Would it work? The dog part would likely go smoothly but the cats were a concern. We were very honest: �He can be an excitable guy and he�s shown some prey drive towards squirrels and birds. We believe he could injure your cat if intros go too fast. BUT, if you take intros nice and slow � and in,  weeks-slow  rather than  hours-slow, and if you stage your intros and monitor every step, we think he could eventually learn to live nicely with everybody.� The cats� personalities factored in to the equation as much as Matzo�s. Amy and James told us that one of their cats was fearless and would likely rush Matzo, while the other cat would probably be nonplussed. Knowing that a rushed intro would be more than Matzo could handle, they set up a plan to create the best success. During this intro period, Matzo was with them under a foster/adopt contract and he was marked as

Virtual Refrigerator – Creating A Masterpiece (From the Archives)

Image
This post contains affiliate links – using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog and our homeschool – thank you!    Things have been pretty slow on our Virtual Refrigerators this summer, haven't they? I know that for all three of us co-hosting this link-up, life has been busy and school has been relaxed at best, so none of us have been sharing a lot of new stuff lately. With a new school year starting, I suspect that will change somewhat for my co-hosts, and I look forward to having some new things over the next little while as well. I know, for example, that we should have some drawings coming soon, because we just got access to the new Drawing Program offered by Creating a Masterpiece. We'll be reviewing it over the next several weeks, and my artist and I are both looking forward to it. We went shopping for some of the art supplies we needed yesterday, so we are ready to get going.  Since we don't have anything completed yet, I thought today
