Dog had fastest ever adoption at Sugarfoot Rescue By Peg Schaeffer  Ed, This dog was joined a few days later by another dog, which was his sister.I picked the dogs up Tuesday morning and they found a home that same day. A woman came to the farm looking for a dog. Then she said she might even want two. She looked at some of the dogs and while we were talking I mentioned the two I had gotten that morning. I told her they were brother and sister and I didn't want to break them up. She fell in love and took them home. This has to be the fastest adoption ever. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and this is proof. - Peg Schaeffer 2012-06-21 11:48:28 | Comments | Printable version

The Whitehurst Diaries: The story of Teasel The kitten stopped hissing and a very tentative small purr vibrated her thin sides. Jim, wearing leather gloves, opened the cage and brought her out--a mere scrap of cream and grey fur over fragile bones, her blue eyes wide. Our vet, seeing her two days later, judged her age at 7 or 8 weeks. I searched and kept watch for many days, half expecting to see a mom-cat or siblings, but none appeared. Teasel quickly found her place in our multi-cat household. She brushed off the larger cats who made faces at her, displaying a sense of mischief and adventure. She grew rapidly--we tell her she has 'stretched her stripes.' -SHARON WHITEHURST Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst Requesting that a cat--or dog--or horse--pose nicely for photos is considerably a more difficult maneuver than bribing a small child with a lollipop. Teasel was rather bored by this particular photo session until I sprinkled some dried [home-grown] catnip on the quilt as a bribe.

Those three dogs found: 1 adopted; other two at Sugarfoot Farm Kimberly Gutelius writes: We are glad to report that one of the three dogs has found a forever home.Thanks, Kimberly Gutelius: The ad is no longer active, awaiting possible posting by Peggy Schaffer from Sugarfoot Farm Rescue. Thanks for all you do. And thanks to Sugarfoot Farm Rescue for doing its work. As well as adopting one of the animals there, it doesn't hurt to make donations of pet food or money. Peg's aim is that no animal be euthanized - they never are at Sugarfoot - and she operates with a noble standard that many units of government would do well to emulate: She works for the day when her work will no longer be needed. - EW 2012-06-21 01:30:47 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for June 21 Happy Anniversary, Dennis & Debbie Selby | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Jerry and Denise Adamson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Angel (Nikki) England (1979) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ashley Ann Price | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bobbie Jo Russell (1981) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Callie Morrison | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Emily Jo Baker-King (1995) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Heather Dashkiewicz (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Joey Dale Bennett | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lane Burkhardt (June 21, 2000) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Malakai Horton (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nicole Rickard (1979) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Roger McCarol (1966) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sara Rowe | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Stephen L.
