Long Time, No Blog

Nothing too exciting going on lately so I've gotten out of the mood. I did join Facebook so I've been playing with that instead of blogging. I've got a few old friends on there, but what's more exciting is finding new friends that share my interests (mainly animal rescue and writing).


I was in a panic Thursday, trying to find a home for a border collie dropped off at our clinic for euthanasia. It's always sad, but this dog was happy, hyper, healthy weight, very loving, her only problem was she had a mild case of megasophagus. Her elderly owner didn't know how to take care of her and thought no one would want a dog with health issues so he signed papers to have her put down. Being the animal lovers we are, a couple of us knew this dog had plenty of good years ahead of her started looking for someone to take her. With a little luck and a twist of fate we found a BC rescue who at first said 'no', but then called back willing to take her. Then we had to check with the owner to make sure it was all right with him (I know, sounds wonky, but vets have been sued over such issues), and he didn't get back with us until almost closing time so I was sweating it. Not sure what I'd have done if he'd said no.


Anyway, all is well, the rescue LOVES this sweet girl and she's in foster care now, safe and happy.

Snow Days Pt. 2

More snow fell during the night, but alas, the sun is melting a lot of it off today. The weird thing is that it was 70 degrees Friday and the snow hit the next day. Freaky, but that's Memphis weather.


Anyway, this isn't normal for us to get this much snow, which is why I'm compelled to take pics. Usually we get more ice than snow, so this was nice, especially since no power outage this time!
