My Bored Pupster :(

by jenna on September 30, 2010 in responsible ownership

When we lived in Indiana, we couldn’t walk the dogs outside because loose dogs in the neighborhood would approach us – even chased us a couple times. Luckily, we had a HUGE backyard to play in there. When we got ready to move to Mississippi, I made a point to find an apartment complex that was all fenced in and has strict leash rules (in addition to the town leash laws). We can only walk around on the grounds of our apartment complex and very nearby though, because there aren’t [click to continue reading...]

Who Will Love Weatherbee In His Last Days?

by jenna on September 8, 2010 in rescue

A few days ago, I got an email from a shelter about an old Shiba Inu. At the time, NYC Shiba Rescue was already in the process of helping arrange transport for two or three other old Shibas in shelters, so my first thought was “surely this isn’t another older Shiba needing a home.” But, yep, it was, and this guy is particularly in need of rescue’s help because he can’t be made available for adoption by the public. He’s dying. Renal failure. His kidneys are failing, he has Lyme [click to continue reading...]

It’s 10pm. Do you know where your dog is?

10pm

Our mission statement includes a list of minimum requirements that I believe our companion animals deserve. Recently I’ve come to know a few dogs who aren’t getting the following and it makes me sad. to not live an isolated life a clean and comfortable living environment proper socialization with people and other dogs appropriate levels of exercise and mental stimulation I chose Shiba Inus partially because they’re an independent, non-clingy breed. No matter how independent they are though, it’s important to me to spend time with them. They’re part of [click to continue reading...]

My Snuggly Inu

by jenna on June 20, 2010 in Snick the Dog

Snickers has turned into such a snuggler this past year or so. Here’s the proof. (That’s my leg that his paw is draped across.) A lot has happened since my last post, but most importantly, we’ve moved (again). We’re all settled into our new apartment and routine in Mississippi, so hopefully I’ll be blogging more soon.

Brandy Is Not Well

by jenna on April 5, 2010 in Brandy

This is a quick and dirty blog post, but I thought it would be easier to point everyone towards one post instead of writing and rewriting what’s going on into a bunch of different emails, postings, etc. Despite her age (16 1/2), Brandy has been very bouncy and energetic on walks since we adopted her. She would even get excited and chase after Snickers or Secret when they’d run through the apartment. Her vet appointment in February was very positive; she was in relatively good health for her age! Over [click to continue reading...]

The One Where I Apologize and Ramble

by jenna on April 2, 2010 in Brandy

I haven’t written a real post for awhile. I’ve been focusing more on making time for “walkies and snuggling” with Snick when I’m not at work or working on the various projects (Shiba rescue, crazy Twitter projects, meetups, etc.) that he gets me involved in. I still want this site to be a place to share great information, so I’ll be back to blogging soon. In the meantime, as a peace offering, here’s a quick list of what’s been keeping me so busy. First, we have Brandy. Sweet old Brandy. [click to continue reading...]

“I Was Just Reading Your Blog”

by jenna on February 13, 2010 in Snick the Dog
Snickers playing in Van Vorst Park

Today was a good day. Snickers and I started off the afternoon (which is the beginning of our day after all) with romp in the snow covered dog run. Then Snick managed to take me to his favorite liquor store. Yes, I said my dog has a favorite liquor store. Jersey City Wine & Spirits keeps dog treats at the register. I discovered this shortly after moving here when Snickers unexpectedly dragged me in there. I try not to walk by there when I’m not prepared to go in, but [click to continue reading...]

Just One Dog – A Rescue Story

This video says so much. Just watch it. This is what we do in rescue. I wish more people would help so less dogs would suffer and die. If you help, thank you. If you don’t… well, suffice to say, I just don’t understand. [click to continue reading...]

Brandy Has Chosen Her Person

by jenna on December 21, 2009 in Brandy
CIMG3295

Brandy seems to be more attached to my daughter than to me, probably because they spend more time together and go on more walks together. Brandy’s crate has been in my room with me and Snick, but, since she’s more attached to my daughter, this weekend my daughter rearranged her bedroom and Brandy moved. [click to continue reading...]
