UPDATE: Cinnamon

By

You may remember our post about Cinnamon that we put up in early April. We were very thankful that we had a few people offer to take her, but the first person was a wonderful woman who wanted Cinnamon as a companion for her mare, who was also lame and had barbed wire scars across her legs from her previous owner. This Sunday I took Cinnamon up to her new home in Arcadia/Monrovia (right on the border). Cinnamon's owner was unable to come out on Sunday, and I didn't have anyone from Hanaeleh … [Read more...]

Monrovia, CA: 10 y/o Pit Bill Needs Foster/Home

By

When we delivered Cinnamon on Sunday, we were told also about a 10 year-old, AKC Champion bloodline Blue Pit Bull dog (unneutered) who needs a home. His family lost their lease on their previous home, and have not been able to find a new apartment that will accept their dog, Houdi.  They are looking for either a foster home until they can find a place that will take him, or someone who will adopt him.  They have contacted some Pit Bull rescues, but have not been able to find anyone who can … [Read more...]

We hope everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]

Javier (our former caretaker who also has a great catering business!) made the yummy food for us, which was wonderful as always! The best part was being able to sit … [Read More...]
