Wanna see my picture on the cover.... gonna buy 5 copies for my mother...*

Well, it's not Rolling Stone, but a little press is always nice.

Heather is a quilter. She is a very good quilter and every year takes time out of her busy schedule to take part in a class or two. One of the classes she attends is at Country Threads in northern Iowa.  They put out a newsletter called the Goat Gazette. During Heather’s last visit to Country Threads, she spoke with the owner, Mary about our pack. Mary is a big-time animal lover with several rescues in her pack, including dogs, cats, and even a goat.

So after leaving, Heather sent her a couple pics and we got a shout out in the Goat Gazette’s Pet Promenade.

Adoption Day: One Year Later

One year ago this past weekend I traveled four hours through a wind and snowstorm from Boise, ID, to Elko, Nevada to pick up a stray dog. I had only seen a couple bad pictures of the guy. He was a wild looking mess of a dog, mostly German Shepherd with a little something else tossed in there to spice things up., guessed to be almost two.

As I type this, that pup is snoring away at my feet. So how did we go from total strangers 12 short months ago to near-constant companions today.
