The Overconfident Midwife

Animals litter. Generally, human beings are not required in the scene of action. Ask Puddy. But once in a while we all have to jump in! Dinky, our black lab, was the kind who demanded the family to stand attendance when she was doing something so important as littering. Dinky had been blessed with buck teeth […]

Turbo

You can see Turbo’s photograph. Would you ever imagine that this beautiful specimen of a dog had to be given a home? Well, believe it or not he is another of our rescued animals! T had taken one of our cats to the vet. She met a young couple who had brought their Labrador pup […]
