We're Fostering Relationships
JUNE 29, 2022 The soul of Motoworks shines like the vintage motorcycles being revived there, and was founded by my extraordinary friend Brooke on principles of learning, teaching, growing, and sharing. Its membership, ripe with knowledge and capability, respects the humanity of all learners — women and kids especially— and advocates for rider safety, proper […]
MAY 26, 2022 The pandas aren’t even gone yet and now some whittle rats?! Late at night at the turn of the week, I received a text that gave me deja vu goosebumps. An emaciated mama dog, who spent all her life on a chain, delivered puppies in a fellow foster home and was in […]
MAY 5, 2022 I’ve had my feelers out for shelter dogs in need of emotional rehab and went out to meet two “broken” canines who need a little more help than the average foster. Hooch is the only one who showed up, which made it a cinch to know who was to be Jax’s first mentor […]
APRIL 29, 2022 Brook and Beck’s siblings, Olive and Capers, have been squatting here, in every way, as they prepare to find their homes. Ellen thinks no puppy’s lick mat should go unfinished, but she accidentally broke the rules and let herself into the playpen instead of waiting for me to take it down and […]
APRIL 26, 2022 There have been a lot of puppies coming and going in the last few weeks, but I must inform you that two baby panda dogs have been occupying the nursery. Bottle babies at first, they’re well into weaning now and today we introduced **WATER!** (because…poop) MAY 7, 2022 Thank you, Jax, for […]
JULY 5, 2021 This is Croix. He was supposed to be a short stay, but bought himself a little extra time in Crazy Town with an Independence Day seizure. Croix, I suspect, is another dog who fell victim to the “pandemic people” when he was an impressionable pup and they were bored. He came skittish […]
MAY 5, 2021 I am emerging from under my proverbial rock to welcome Mopey Opie into Crazy Town! Sweet Opie was adopted as a little pup, but has returned to rescue with an unsightly case of mange. He’s missing about half of his fur in large patches, is itchy and has ears full of gunk; […]
FEBRUARY 11, 2021 The nursery is bustlin’ tonight as we welcome Mama and her five 2-day-old puppies to Crazy Town! She wouldn’t touch the food for dogs, so naturally I cooked her up some salmon and rice. No one has ever snubbed salmon and rice! She has been an attentive mom so far, despite being somewhat […]
NOVEMBER 17, 2020 2.5-month-old Provolone here had to have a leg amputated today, so she’s come to recover in Crazy Town. Please send her all the love you have to offer. She’s in pain and probably still loopy from anesthesia. She reminds me so much of the late Farley Eugene. I will have no problem […]
AUGUST 22, 2020 It was only a matter of time before the stork showed up at Crazy Town. He brought a tiny baby girl and a slightly less tiny baby boy and asked if I’d give them a chance. They are part of a litter of 7 puppies delivered prematurely via cesarian after their mommy […]
