Memorial for a Pointer

February 8, 2022 ~ YesBiscuit ~ Leave a comment

This touching tribute to a hunting dog gave me pause in an otherwise too fast world. I hope it will do some good for you too. Taken from Forest and Stream, May 23, 1889:

Personal News

February 14, 2018 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 39 Comments

Nothing animal shelter related here. Just a note to touch base with everyone and to say I'm still here.  I'm not ready to return to blogging and honestly don't know when or if I might be ready.  I've been struggling over the past year personally, professionally - basically all the -llys.  I was laid off … Continue reading Personal News

Be Seeing You, Wendy

September 6, 2016September 6, 2016 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 26 Comments

Wendy was diagnosed with kidney failure in May and, though she did very well all summer, she declined rapidly over the past week and it was time to let her go.  I held her in my lap as our vet gave her the injections and the last thing Wendy felt in this world was a … Continue reading Be Seeing You, Wendy

Be Seeing You, Surrey

February 16, 2016 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 41 Comments

Surrey was about to give birth and on the kill list at the pound in Tipton Co, TN when I saw her photo in an email. With the help of area rescuers and several blog readers, we were able to welcome her home in SC in December 2011. She has been a very easy keeper … Continue reading Be Seeing You, Surrey

Be Seeing You, Patty

October 19, 2015October 19, 2015 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 41 Comments

We said goodbye to Patty today. She had been declining at a rapid pace recently and the vet determined she was riddled with cancer with no reasonable options for treatment. She was 9 years old. Nicknamed Peanut Butter Patty because of her love of skillfully polishing the insides of peanut butter jars, she was very … Continue reading Be Seeing You, Patty

Police Department in CT Leads by Example

April 15, 2015April 15, 2015 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 7 Comments

There have been far too many tragic stories on this blog where police officers needlessly kill pets and are not held accountable by their own departments despite the irreversible damage they have inflicted upon families in their communities.  But there are occasional stories where police do right by pets and I like to bring attention … Continue reading Police Department in CT Leads by Example

Be Seeing You, Randi

December 31, 2014December 30, 2014 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 41 Comments

Randi was my longest lived Flatcoat.  She remained very active and healthy until just recently and I am thankful for that.  Yesterday, we had to make the singularly difficult decision to euthanize our beloved pet.  The emergency clinic placed her in a cardboard coffin for us to take home.  As always, we allow the other … Continue reading Be Seeing You, Randi

In Memoriam: Faye Hunter

July 28, 2013July 28, 2013 ~ YesBiscuit ~ 8 Comments

If you were following the wave of Southern indie bands in the 80s, Let's Active was one of your listening staples.  Let's Active co-founder, co-vocalist and bass player Faye Hunter influenced at least one of my high school friends to start playing bass and I'm sure there are many other female bassists out there who … Continue reading In Memoriam: Faye Hunter
