Rocky Ridge Refuge
If that doesn't warm your heart then you probably have no business being here at my site.
This is a puppy named Guppy and a tortoise named Crouton. They live at Rocky Ridge Refuge which is about one of the most wonderful places I've ever heard of.
( Update : This puppy is one that Janice decided to keep as a companion for Crouton because she loved this litter of puppies so much. The others were adopted. So sweet that Crouton gets to keep this friend!)
Janice, the owner of the land and the woman who runs the refuge, goes above and beyond what most people would expect on a regular basis to help the animals that end up in her care.
She has rescued, rehabilitated, and cared for everything from dogs and cats to water buffalo, zebras, deer, skunks, and capybaras.
Want to see dogs napping in a field with deer? Janice has it. Bunnies snuggling with pit bulls? Check. Ducklings and kittens hanging out together? Yep.
Beyond the ridiculously adorable photos such as this one, Janice does really important work and is kind of my hero.
If you ever have the desire to donate to an animal rescue related cause, I'd love for you to keep Rocky Ridge in mind. It is entirely funded with Janice's own personal resources and donations.
Check out her site as well. She does outreach locally and welcomes visitors to the refuge.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm right about everything. If you disagree, I don't care.
What's going on right now
I swear, someday we will be done fixing things and moving in. Maybe before our 2 year anniversary of moving in, which will be December 31, 2011. For pete's sake. I hope so. I made a Homeownership category on this blog but it is woefully out of date. I will try to keep it current, though. The process of fixing things and putting things where they belong continues.
We adopted two kitties from the Animal Rescue League of Boston in the fall of 2010. Molly is a sweet black and white/piebald kitty who was found on the streets as a stray. Katie is a torbie/Maine Coon who was confiscated in a hoarding case where there were 98 cats total. Both are great in their own way. Hopefully at some point they will realize that about each other. Every once in a while I catch them grooming each other nicely but usually they are tackling each other. Or, rather, Katie is tackling Molly and Molly is hissing and smacking the hell out of her. Katie is not quite a year old so she has to outgrow some kitten tendencies. Hopefully as she mellows they can become better friends.
In Memory of Billy the dog
Best.Dog.Ever. 1995-2009.
Many of you knew or knew of Billy. We miss him a lot but his memory lives on, especially thanks to this blog.
Here are some favorites:

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
