Going to my forever home on Saturday.

Hello Everyone! Jakob made a mature decision. He knows he will be driving soon, playing with his band, and working so he wont have much time for me. My new home will be with Auntie Christina's good friend Dee Dee. She had to help her good girl Lodi across the bridge last year and now feels its time for a new friend. I am moving to her house tomorrow. I will live indoors and be the only critter there so I will be SPOILED! My new mom bought me a new bed, some toys, and some chewy things! She is waiting for me to come. She thinks my new name will be Blitz but she wants to watch my personality to see if that is right.

Oh whats with those furry things around here? There is a black one called Mojo and she really scared me bad. I was trying to look at her and she lunged at me. I ran back in the crate and cried a little. They sure are grumpy!

Bostons, Babies, and Blizzards.

If you look carefully you can see some chickadees eating the food I put out for them.

My nephew and his new companion. Saturday night I was driving down the highway. The car in front of my clipped this little guy and of course kept going. I opened the car door and asked him if he was alright. He hopped right in. Jake had a fit when he saw him. Called mom and immediately started begging. They are keeping him for now. I located his "owner". He was not in a good situation and not really wanted back. The owner is "thinking" about letting Jake keep him. The guy wont be getting this little doll back. Ooops, sorry guy, he ran away. At least that is what I am going to say if he calls back. (Boston is quite safe at the nephews, will be neutered and got an all clear check up from the vet)

For those of you who asked about the babies. Their momma is the bunny we rescued a while back from the backyard of a lady who thought maybe rabbits laid eggs. We were desperately hoping she wasnt pregnant. She presented Heartland with 11 babies. 2 babes didnt make it. All others are healthy, safe and so is mom. The solid color kid is a bruiser compared to the rest and there is a little runt we are calling Peanut. They are some little toots.

We love and adore these babies but now there are 10 more that need forever homes.

Please spay and neuter your pets.

Is It Friday Yet?

Jeez, I am so sorry Millie. I know how exhausted you must be. All that sleeping, eating, dooting and petting must wear you out. Brat!

Good Golly Miss Molly

This will be a tough story to slim down so just bear with me. For those of you who read Heartland's blog you may remember Molly. The rescues owners found her huddled in a pasture. She was afraid, hungry and needed some help. We posted her story to find her a forever home. Molly was spayed, given her shots, treated for fleas and ticks and was waiting patiently for a good home. A very shy girl, she would flinch if you moved your hands too fast. You can imagine why she would flinch.

Enter A and S. They are a mother and daughter team that visit the rescue and cant seem to resist taking somebunny home on every visit. They both have hearts of gold (as does their very patient husband/father) but S is an exceptional young girl. She makes your heart lighter just to be around her. She has a connection with animals like I have never seen. I think angels whisper secrets in her ear. I know she senses when one of our bunnies is thinking of going to the bridge and she made our Opa (you may remember his story as well) a very happy bunny for the short time he was with her. Their household has nothing but love for all these beautiful creatures. Their home is filled with dogs, cats, bunnies, and I think a little hammy and a horse. (horse lives outside, lol) The animals dont dare not get along. They wouldnt want to hurt S.

Molly and S fell in love the second they met. Of course they decided to take Molly into their home. They have been inseparable ever since. Molly would take on a pack of wolves for S and she almost did the other night. By the way the vet thinks Molly might be part Basenji. She has trouble barking and there doesnt seem to be another explanation for it.

Dad has been out of town on military duty (Thank You Dad!) and A and S have been home alone. An intruder tried to break in the front door last night. They have two very large dogs in addition to Molly and of course the dogs went nuts at the front door. Molly became the lion that her heart has always hidden. A said that Molly joined the fray at the door and made the "strangest howling/growling/barking that I've ever heard come from a dog". Molly was by- god protecting her people and I feel sorry for the poor slob that put their hands on S. The intruder fled and Molly stayed right by S's side the rest of the night. I am really glad they are okay.

Coincidence? Maybe or maybe those angels sent Molly knowing full well she would be needed one day. Either way, put your hands together for Miss Molly! She looks proud of herself doesnt she?
