Short and Not So Sweet

I’ve been kind of quiet on the blog due to some non-quiet around the Wanderingbellahousehold. Long story short is 3 months of annoying back pain turned into excruciating back pain on Monday of this week. You know – the kind where you can’t get out of bed and you start to panic that you will [...]

Milo and Emma Need Your Help

I blog often about dog rescue – sometimes telling stories and sometimes asking for help. Our rescue always needs help – especially foster pyrents. I’m getting ready to put a plea for help out again  – but this time the plea is a different.  The need is always urgent of course but this time the [...]

Puppies!

In addition to many wonderful adult Great Pyrenees, IGPR has a litter of the most adorable pups available for adoption. Check out Sumo Better yet, go adopt one! It almost (but not quite) makes me want to foster a puppy. I had so much fun fostering Hank and Molly and of course my baby Jobear. But [...]

Goodbye Charley

It hit me after I arrived home yesterday that Charley Bear is gone. I found out midday he was getting adopted by an incredible forever mom and didn’t really process it then as I was mid-workday and preoccupied. Bella and Jobear still have been a bit mopey – though a healthy dose of daycare yesterday [...]

Varia

Been quite a busy few weeks – that combined with the summer doldrums are not motivating me to post. I took a technology break over the weekend – no PC, Internets, laptop, blog posting and/or reading. It was nice. So here’s what’s been going on – in no particular order of importance and in list [...]

The Revolving Door

It’s been a revolving door of fosters in my house this past week. I usually never “give up” on a foster dog unless it’s not a good fit with one of my girls but had to trade Serengeti/Truman (foster number eight) in finally this past Saturday.  He is an anxious guy which was making Bella a disaster [...]

You Can’t Make This Sh!t Up

My new foster arrived tonight. He came from Kentucky. His name is Serengeti. And his previous owner fed him a diet of fried chicken and Vienna Sausages. I can’t undo previous diet infractions but I can undo the name. Any suggestions? He’s about 90 pounds, shy, super-sweet, a smidge playful, a little needy of attention [...]

Mutt Strutting No More?

Yesterday Jojo and I did the Mutt Strut with Brigitte, Brian, Piper and Bruin and Melody, Vanessa, Rosie and Buffy. We had a great time of course hanging out with our friends and walking around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Jojo did great – she is a such a good girl. But it was with reticence [...]

You Know You Own and Love Great Pyrenees When…

You are having dinner at a fairly nice establishment with the folks who run IGPR and have 4 pyrs of their own and mid-sentence and mid-bite you realize there is a hair in your mouth, you remove it, examine it, realize it’s long, white and has come from this dog, this dog or this dog, put [...]

And Then There Were Two (Then Three Again…)

Sweet, sweet Darby was adopted this past Friday.  I had the chance to spend quite a bit of time talking to his new mom – I can be a little militant about where my fosters go. Darby’s new family includes 2 pyrents, a rescued husky (and she and her husband got rave reviews from the husky rescue) [...]
