    “Rescued!!! UPDATE #2” by N&J.

    Gregory, South Dakota (Oct 12/13)  –  Visited Daisy (aka ‘Ears’) and her family of new-born pups at the Rescues Unlimited facility in Gregory, SD.  Marie and Dale currently have a total of 31 dogs that they have rescued.

    “Rescued” UPDATE #1 !!! by N&J

    Fort Thompson, SD (Sep 28/13)  –  Updating the ‘Rescued’ story on Daisy (aka Ears), the dog who was taken into care by Rescues Unlimited. Daisy delivered 4 female & 4 male pups yesterday (4 days after being rescued!), all healthy. Daisy is a very gentle and loving mother to her little ones and will not leave them for a moment. Although too soon to tell, the father might have been a Border Collie by the looks of the markings on the wee ones. 4 white, 2 black, 1 white w/black & 1 multi coloured. So thankful that she was rescued just in time.  A huge ‘Thank You’ to Auntie Lindy…

With gregarious yawns and a bit of rustling about, the kettle heating on the stove, their attention turns to their new-found friend ‘Ears”. Spying out the window searching for her, wondering if she survived the night.  Sliding the side door open to gain a better vantage point… she is sitting right outside Gizmo’s door looking up at N&J, tail wagging, eyes yearning. click on pic to enlarge – right/left arrow to scroll thru the gallery N&J excitedly greet her and can see a slight twinkle in her eyes. Not used…

    “Vacation Suspended” by N&J

    Fort Thompson, SD (Sep 13-16/13)  –  Lucky for N&J, avoided any tragedy brought on by the terrible flood conditions in Colorado. After crossing into Wyoming at Cheyenne, traveled east on I-90 into Nebraska, dipping back into Julesburg CO to stay at a rest area for the evening. Playing a bit of frisbee in the evening as the sun set, they had a great sleep and were excited knowing would soon be at their defined destination. click on pic to enlarge – right/left arrow to scroll thru the gallery Next day made our way north to South Dakota. The expansive landscape afforded sweeping views in all directions. It was early in…
