My friend Jodi runs the only pit bull rescue in Tennessee, located in Cookeville. This past week, she was instrumental in saving seven “blue” pit pups that were dumped on the side of a road. She has moved the pups into a temporary foster situation, but of course they will all need long-term fosters and/or [...]
Seems winter is not over here in the music city and surrounding counties. My black lab elvis isn’t so black right now…
Here’s a shot of it coming down this morning out the kitchen window.
I’m waiting for it to slow down so i can go get a load of hay. Don’t know if I’ll make it [...]

This was on the Comcast home page this morning. Many of the dogs went to the rescues and foster homes that will love and train them until their forever homes are found. Such lucky dogs — most seized pits are euthanized immediately because they “can’t be trusted”. That these dogs were evaluated and given a [...]
… Silkwood, was euthanized last week. She was 19 years old, and had been in poor health for a while. We had gone out of town for 3 days, and when we returned, the pet sitter reported that Silky had been peeing around the house. That’s usually a sign of a kidney infection, so we [...]
Emily and I have one of Doris’s originals hanging in our living room at the farm. We are blown away by the talent she has. Thankfully for me she chooses horses sometimes as her subjects. check out her site on my space.
I have been drawing portraits since I was a kid. I work on [...]
I’m going to (attempt to) attach a pic of a pup we rescued a couple of weeks ago on Buck Branch Road. She is ssssooooo sweet, and is very people-oriented.
We canNOT keep her because (A) we have four dogs and eight cats already, and (B) my dog would eat her. We need to find [...]
Terry and I picked up two emaciated puppies on Thurs (Aug 16). They are both female, about 3 months old. Except for their weight, dehydration and hundreds of ticks, the vet declared them sound.
I can give all kinds of other details about their brains (very smart), their personalities (one is independent, the other is more [...]
I ran into a guy today at the peace and justice center that has a dog he can’t keep. He’s either looking for someone to foster it and he’ll pay expenses or he’ll give it up if it’s a good home. He says the dog is super smart, been on tv for finding it’s way [...]
Please take a moment to sign a petition to Nike, asking them to drop their sponsorship of Michael Vick, who was indicted last week on dog fighting charges. Witnesses say that Vick and his friends not only fought pit bulls, but they also killed the “losers” in horrible ways.
There is a link here to [...]
A friend called yesterday to tell me that he was at the Y, and there were two white pit bulls hanging around, “trying to get in the pool” (to drink). He said the folks at the Y had been chasing them off for several days, but they kept coming back. He knows I’m involved in [...]
