THE FORGOTTEN ART OF STEWARDSHIP ❤️🐾❤️
The longer I spend around animals, the less convinced I become that the shelter crisis is going to be solved by any single program, law, campaign, slogan, fundraiser, or social media movement, which is not to say those things have no value because rescue matters, shelters matter, foster homes matter, spay and neuter programs matter,…

Lessons From a Litter of Puppies

Sometimes You Stare So Hard at the Puppies
Years ago while digging through Juliette’s books, old breeder correspondence, and the kind of material that somehow convinces you that one more page will only take a minute before you look up and realize half the evening has disappeared, I came across a letter from a breeder describing a kennel that, by every modern standard,…

Whelping Journal #1: The Things Nobody Sees Behind a Healthy Litter
Three boys. Two girls. Five healthy puppies safely arrived, nursing, sleeping, squeaking, and carrying on as though entering the world is the most ordinary thing imaginable while the rest of us stand around completely amazed that nature somehow keeps pulling this off generation after generation. Around three o’clock this morning I was parked on the…
