I’m going to bed with a heavy - but hopeful heart. Your kind words and support mean the world.

Our newest additions, Jasper the Chihuahua with deformed joints, and Henry the old man pug/sharpei, are settling in beautifully. Nana got groomed, and the friendships between the oldies and special needs kids continue to keep me buoyant.

I’m worried about money. But that’s literally my life in this work. It’s the end of the month and we have hay and food to purchase and the losses we’ve had culminate because we give each dog peaceful goodbyes and private cremations to honor them. That’s not something I feel I will ever skimp on. They deserve that.

Can you help? Can you share? Any donation, big or small supports these animals when they need it most. I never usually make a donation plea before bed, but I’m going to let the internet do your magic overnight and see if we can reach people who can send anything they have spare. Every dollar goes to senior, hospice, special needs dogs and animals who need support, care and love in the sunset of their lives.

Thank you all.

Maple died in my lap today. She just collapsed on the ramp and completely stopped breathing. Her heart was still very faintly beating, and I held her as it stopped. I knew there was nothing I could do, so I just waited with her.

She was just a baby, 6 months old, who started having seizures and difficulty walking. She had been sold as a breeding female but the woman who took her immediately knew there was something wrong and contacted another breeder who knew of me and connected us. Knowing her issues were beyond her capabilities she surrendered her to ODGTH.

We had her seen by neuro, and we started her on more medications. We knew her prognosis was poor based on her evaluation but wanted to try. She didn’t have another seizure. But today, she dropped. I held her in my lap for a while, she was still warm, it felt like a dream. Jake came and we decided to bury her in the memorial garden. She is there now, resting forever.

I don’t know why, but this one has hit me hard. Maybe it’s Sparrow’s loss and then hers and then all the others over the last few weeks. It just feels very heavy right now.

Go Maple. Go run. You were the sweetest little sausage. Find Elsa. Wrestle in the clouds. Wait for me. I’ll see you one day again.

Last week Peppercorn left us, and this weekend, we lost Gypsy.

While their time with us was short, I am so glad they made it here. They got groomed, medication, good food and so much love. Unfortunately they both had medical issues that were too far gone, but at least they had comfort in their last weeks.

They join the others we have recently lost who broke our hearts, one being Wishbone, who had been with us for a long time.

Holding them as they leave is such an honor and privilege. If you take a moment and think about your own passing, and who you’d want to be there with you, I can guarantee you’d want it to be someone you knew, someone you trusted, and someone who would hold you through the stillness and unknown. I don’t take that for granted in these goodbyes, and I walk them home hoping that they look back from the other side feeling the same love and warmth I feel just from knowing them. Even if it was for a short time.

Be good my little fuzzy gremlin angels. Any time you want to visit, you do so. Tell H***h how much we miss him and I promise you Wishbone I’ll save you a spot in the laundry basket always.

Love, Helen and Jake
