Today my page is dedicated to telling a Christmas story. About love, devotion, & family. But I suppose I need to start from the beginning… Paulette & Annette. Best friends. Business partners. Identical twins born 2 years apart… Their lives have been filled with all the finest things life has to offer. Traveling the world together, loving the arts, meeting amazing people, & saving the lives of many animals have made everything even richer… Earlier this year Annette was traveling out of the country & wound up in the hospital. Diagnosis was a broken arm. And pneumonia. She got ..read more

This one is long too. And the photos aren’t the best. And I curse a lot. And I’m not apologizing for it. Maybe one day I’ll write that book I keep threatening to, but for now it’s another blog post… Having enough wits together right now to tell you what I know so far. In all it’s raw ugliness. If I don’t do it now it risks never being done. I take pictures & I write & it soothes a bit…but again, there’s a story that deserves to be told. Her life will not be in vain, dammit. And there were secrets. Got the speediest course in the last 24 hours. A life course. A death course. And the co ..read more

Some of you are familiar with PJ’s story. Here’s a recap, what’s happened since “the video,” & what’s about to happen. This post is painful to write…both physically & emotionally…but her story needs to be told. (BTW, it’s long…& most are less than fantastic iphone pics taken with adrenaline charged hands.) CHAPTER ONE. The Rescue In the early morning hours of June 28, 2011, I received some information about a dog & her 3 puppies that had been dumped on a remote dirt road in a county just outside of Houston. We arrived about 9:45am. The mama dog was guarding one of her puppies b ..read more

Loving Beau. The Village.

Sleep wasn’t about to happen last nite & the words just kept appearing in front of my eyeballs. So, with the gospel music blaring, I thought about how many soldiers made up our #lovearmy this past week. Wow. What happened: Beau, my 10 year old catahoula mix & oldest of my pack started acting a little different, but there were no solid “symptoms” that brought us to a vet. But I had a bad feeling. Turned out his condition was rare & came on fast & furious. The seizures he had were not of the epilepsy variety. Rather, they were caused by either fluid on the brain or inflammation ..read more

Forgotten Dogs of The 5th Ward Project

I’ve had my eye on her for months.  Ever since she heard of the white boxer at the cemetery that we were unable to catch…she wrote me right away…said if I could find a foster, she was on her way out there to assess the situation. So many rescuers…but she’s different. A dog whisperer, perhaps. Call her what you want… but the bottom line is she’s got freaky skills & her gifts are called upon for the toughest of cases. A retired nurse & modest woman…become independent rescuer…just minding her own biz…but now on a mission to save & protect “The Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward” in H ..read more

Priyanka with mascots for Woodlands Eco Realty. I met Priyanka on facebook at some point. Same way I meet all the crazy dog ladies. We attract each other like magnets LOL. She owns a real estate company, Woodlands Eco Realty & Executive Rentals- Buy/Sell/Lease, which helps fund an assisted living home for seniors, Acorn Manor Assisted Living Homes, who are allowed to bring their pets. How cool is that?? When the human passes away, their pet goes to live the rest of their life at the organization she founded: Pure Mutts Animal Sanctuary. I became a little obsessed with Priyanka and the mag ..read more

Disaster. Destruction. Death. Evacuate. Catastrophe. Crisis. These words are not foreign to those of us in the rescue community. We live it every day. Feeling helpless & hopeless much of the time. Just got off the phone with my parents. Checking in on them. And seeing if my Dad’s company had a large truck to try & rescue some friends & their 15 dogs near League City. He said, “No, I’m sorry, we don’t. Tell them to call the fire department.” I spent the next 10 minutes explaining to him and giving examples of how that wouldn’t do a damn thing. They are rescuing PEOPLE now & DO ..read more

Warning: Graphic Images: Viewer Discretion Advised Harris County Animal Shelter in Houston, TX is a tough place to be if you’re a dog. They are overcrowded and understaffed. A group of volunteers work tirelessly creating videos to post socially for the ones who need the most help getting out. Two nights ago, it was Goldilocks’ turn. She is a 12ish year old blind cocker spaniel with a huge tumor. Here is the video which has been viewed over 28,000 times to date: What Happened Next? 1. The director of Gulf Coast Cocker Rescue, Stephanie Collins, received 100s of pleas to pick up this dog from t ..read more

When Catherine got in touch about doing an End of Life photo session for her dog and explained he was going downhill quickly, we made plans right away. Then she told me the story about how he "wasn’t really her dog.” His photo had been circulating on a shelter’s page last October and he was at risk of being put down. A woman in Dallas said she wanted to adopt him, so Catherine offered to pull him from the shelter and foster him until she could come to Houston to pick him up. But that never happened. For whatever reason, the Dallas woman decided she couldn’t manage a new dog in her life at tha ..read more
