Bunnies, Bunnies Everywhere!



Bunnies are everwhere. I am guessing these two were going to be making more bunnies after I left.
I wonder why you never see dead bunnies around.

Little Squirrel



Little Squirrel, the kids found you in the playground, your hind legs damaged. I made a tone of calls to my animal wildlife connections to see who could take you in and nurse you back to health. But today was a beautiful day, and no one was home.
I put you in a shoebox, and brought you home and moved you into a cat carrier. I gave you water, and I gave you some apple. You had alot of life left in you.
Finally someone got back to me and told me what to do with you. I brought you to the vet, where they would evaluate you, and then release you to the nice lady who would take over until you could be re-released.
You didn't make it.
Your injuries must have been more severe than what I thought.
I hope you were not scared in your final hours, and your passing was peaceful.

I hardly knew you, but I will miss you.

How could such a cute little guy make a mess like this:



I don't know. But I think Toby is secretly giving him lessons.

Tucker's Tent



Tucker's cancer is progressing so much, that he spends most of his days sitting in the cool grass. He remains happy, and for the most part, I believe he is not in too much pain. Discomfort, yes, but pain--no.



Once he gets comfortable, he'll stay there all day. We built a tent for him to keep him out of the rain. We made due with what we had available: lawn chairs, holding up a closed step stool, covered with lots of plastic garbage bags.



His days are limited. He's happy outside. We like to cater to him in his final days.
That, and the fact that he's too big of a dog to really force him to do anything that he really doesn't want.

Charles in Charge





For an old guy, Charlie sure has alot of energy. He's got at least 25 [dog] years on me, and that guy wants to run all the time.
And strong?!!!!! His best friends are people with food, and he WILL take you to them. Whether you want it or not!

Not a menace.
Nor from Venice.
Can't play tennis.

I think I'm in love
with Dennis.
