I love it when I’m sipping my coffee trying to awaken completely and then the UPS guy honks his horn! The pack flies into Cujo-mode. It’s humorous how they look so pleased when they know they’ve chased him away. When Cass & Becca joined our family I made my Mom a promise. That promise was [...]

War Is Waged!

As if living in FL isn’t bad enough dealing with the never-ending mounds of fire ants… Now I must deal with FireWEEDS?! Sigh. Yesterday as I was waiting for the waters to finish filling, I noticed some ground cover type plants near the fence to the run in shed. I didn’t want it to have [...]
Best Seat In The House

I sit in the dirt and watch my girls eat. Time stops. Nothing else matters. The rhythmic munching soothes my soul. I get an occasional soft wuffle to the top of my head. I am at my best just being with them. Dirt and hay brushes off but their presence lingers on and on and [...]
Eva Is All Grown
Posted in Uncategorized on February 2, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Hard to believe my best girl is 5 years old today! What a crazy 5 years it’s been, too. We somehow survived her adorable, yet challenging puppyhoood and she even become a Canine Good Citizen. We survived her “pokey bone” surgery when she wasn’t even a year old. Those 2 months of crate rest was [...]
Good Or Bad, I’m A Trainer

Tesla Mae and I began training class this week with our dear friend, Therese of Dogs Unlimited. She’s the only reason Eva survived her puppyhood! Having Tes in class was much different than Eva. Tes wants to actually visit everyone and play with the other dogs. Weird. She did well despite me not being the [...]
Working The Weird Stick

Our homework from Gary was for Cass to move calmly toward weird things. She needs to learn when we are out she can rely on me to take care of her, even if things are weird. When out on the trail branches can fall, birds can swoop, dogs can appear out of thin air… actually [...]
You’re Just Too Super-Cool!

When we began our journey into the often devastating world of animal rescue some 20 years ago, there was no internet, no Facebook or Smart Phones allowing immediate consumption of information. We had recently acquired our “backyard bred” purebred and had no idea how quickly our lives were forever going to change. We happened to [...]
Frosty The Fjordhorse!

Found my long-johns… check. Put on my ugly sock cap… check. Borrowed “the Goose”… check. Waking up to 35 degrees in Central FL… priceless! First on the early AM agenda was to walk the Akita, Jessica. Her parents are on a jaunt to the west coast of FL. Hope they weren’t expecting to surf. Jess [...]
Tomorrow Brings 2012

As I scrolled through Facebook today I saw so many posts from people saying how terrible 2011 has been. It has been a rough year for just about everyone. I know our business, Pookie Bros. Pet Sitting, has suffered a great deal. People just aren’t traveling, no money to do so. Two years ago our [...]
Merry Christmas Eve!

The atmosphere at the barn the past few weeks has been of cheery and sometimes sad Christmas music. Our little radio has been blasting out memories of Christmases past and loved ones we dearly miss. Sitting there with my girls often allows me the opportunity to get out a good cry. I’ve lived away from [...]
You can help Cass and Becca!
Although we do not have 501(3)(c) charity status, we do accept money! If you enjoy our blog and want to contribute something towards our upkeep, you may do so with our heartfelt thanks. A bale of our yummy hay costs $6.75 and will last about 4 days. A bag of our special allergy food costs $26 but it lasts nearly 2 months. We'll gladly send you an autographed photo to show our appreciation :-)
