and rest in peace, Goldie

No sooner had we buried Rosie than our sweet beagle Goldie followed her to the Rainbow Bridge. Unlike Rosie, Goldie was an old girl and had been ill with congestive heart failure for many months, so her death was not entirely unexpected.

Goldie had lived at Sanctuary House for many years - she loved the other dogs and loved cats as well. She liked being outdoors, although recently she had stayed inside, near the air conditioner. In healthier days, Goldie had enjoyed car rides and was pretty much ready for any new adventures. She loved people and was friendly toward everyone. For a beagle, she was quiet and unobtrusive, except when it was time for food or treats, and then her voice was heard loud and clear!

Oh, my lovely Goldie, golden girl - see you later 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 . . .
