Farewell, Chrissi

This morning Chrissi left us for her journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Chrissi was a very old doggie - at least 15 years old. She came to Sanctuary House in 2014, when her former person died. Chrissi loved to spend time in the yard - she got along well with everyone, except Bessie . . . the two girls had very opposite personalities!  Chrissi moved slowly through life while she was here, never exerting much energy; and she was quiet except when she howled for breakfast or in an effort to tell the barky beagles that enough noise was enough!                                    There is a poem about Chrissi in Following the Path of Life: Companions on the Way, and her story is included in The Dogs of Sanctuary House. Chrissi's photograph appeared in the 2016 Episcopup Calendar.
     We all will miss Chrissi here, and hope she has already found her beloved person waiting for her at the Bridge!

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our  Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The  sunlight in the tree  this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
