Do we have space? No. But will we figure it out? Yes. I am always going to say yes, when I get the text that says they have timed out, can you help them? The shelter we pull from right now has 189 dogs. I got that text on Friday, so... first up we are naming her Marigold. She is about 2 yr. 20 lbs., a Terrier, Staffy mix, good with other dogs. The next is a Border Collie/shepherd mix who looks just like our guy Parsley, so we are naming him Basil. We won't adopt them out until we fully test them with people and other dogs, but just wanted to give you a heads up. Very confident you will see them with the Wyoming dog testers kids in a few weeks. Don't forget about our fundraiser Lemonade Fundraiser and Adoption Event!

I have been so excited for this day, and now I am sad. This will be my last adventure with my guy Puka because I am drafting #12. I am drafting with another team next week, so I am still hopeful for the season. Our girl Zora is in attendance to keep everyone calm and friendly. Cheers to the football season starting! .doolittle

Well I guess today is a dog day. I miss Vince when a waltz comes on my music, because Vince and I would waltz around the store. So today I waltzed with his picture. Anyway...on another note, let's talk about our guy Larry, he is a freckle face. He will make an appearance here next week. He thought that it was a really good idea to chew up his pool, flip it over and use it as a resting place. Does anyone have a pool they are not using? Apparently this one is now a chew toy. These animals bring us so much joy and so much sadness.

This will be hard. Today is National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. Drop those pics of the ones who are not with us anymore, but still in our hearts. We can all cry together. Here we have Vincent, and who remembers when we walked in the Christmas Parade we carried our 4.5 lb. Blonde in a hanging basket?

I'm in a silly state of overwhelm so am offering half off any item on the following displays. I am working on this project all day. So if you are interested you may want to toodle on over. Today only. If you have been in the store you have seen the displays and are probably as tired of them as I am.

This is in Watsonville if anyone is interested.

It’s coming! Please share, many of you have asked when our next one would be! Thank you! 😁

911 what's your emergency? Something happened in my store. Boxes of stuff exploded, I have stuff on the floor, bins scattered everywhere, an ironing board in the bar, plants in the sink, and I spy a dead one. I don't know what to do. I'm pretty sure drinking something will help, but I can't decide if I want, wine, bubbles or gin. What do you suggest I do?.... Moving right along, within this chaos, I managed to get a few more displays up.

We will have the TV on at 4:30 to catch the pre game activities! We are thinking our girl Hope would like to watch some football on the patio, so she will be in attendance if anyone wants to meet her. You can bring all the snacks you want just no beverages or cups, we have everything you could ever possibly want
