Remember the cold...

It was March when we met Gracie Pickles.  She was pulled from a breeding farm in Sunbury, PA.  We were notified through NEBTR that the farmer had released 4 dogs from his mill and set them free onto the farm, hoping that they would run away or die from starvation.  The dogs did not leave the farm, and the farmer told his neighbor that he would shoot the dogs if they were not gone by the weekend.  The neighbor called someone who called someone, and by the grace of god, it came into the hands of NEBTR.  We jumped into the van and drove up to Sunbury to pick up the dogs.  4 mangy boston terriers, looking tired, beat down and COLD.  They had been out in the elements for days, scraping for food and shelter.  The dogs were handed to us, one at a time. The last dog was Gracie. I took her into my arms, and looked at my husband in that "way".....and handed her to him.  He stopped in his tracks.  He did not turn to the van , he didn't place her into the crate.  He handed her back to me and told me to get in the van and hold her.  We both knew at that exact moment that Gracie Pickles would never leave our arms again.  Gracie has struggled over the years with a choking disorder, due to her past neglect and starvation issues.  We have revived her 4 times using CPR/Rescue breathing.  I even became certified in canine CPR so that i could assist her.  I will never forget the day that dear soul was placed into my arms, and i will always remember the cold. 
As the winter season bears down on the east coast, i beg you all to remember the souls still imprisoned in the mills.  They do not have heat in the breeding barns, and there are no windows.  Cold, dark and alone.  Pray for them, pray that someone calls someone and somehow they are rescued. 

For my Mom Mom dog

There is nothing in this world that brings me to instant tears faster then the neglect/abandonment or abuse of an elderly animal.  The night I met Mom Mom dog, my life changed for good.  She taught me about compassion, about what it means to love....about what it means to accept imperfection...about what it means to live life to the fullest.  Mom Mom knew compassion, Mom Mom knew imperfection, and Mom Mom embraced life and lived it to it's fullest.  She played, she bitched, she snuggled and she fought like a UFC champion.  Mom Mom never turned from a fight, she never stood for only one snackie.  Mom Mom was strong through adversity, neglect, medical illness and aging.  She walked with the strength of a queen.  Mom Mom is my inspiration.

Ok Y'all! Lets try an online bake sale to benefit the NEBTR medical fund!

I am currently working on creating an online bake sale (people treats) to benefit the NEBTR medical fund.  NEBTR (North East Boston Terrier Rescue) is in desperate need of donations due to the high volume of dogs coming into rescue with severe medical issues.  NEBTR makes sure that all dogs that come into rescue get the best medical care, but as we know....vet bills are expensive!  NEBTR wants to make sure that they will not have to turn dogs in need away due to dwindling funds. 
Soooooo, I am going to try an online bake sale! 
I am going to post in here on this blog, the products available, and all you have to do is send me an email or respond to the blog with your order!  All profits from this bake sale will go to NEBTR so that they can continue to help the Boston Terriers that come into thier care!

All the baked goods are baked from scratch and filled with love! 
You will be able to pay via Paypal for your purchases, and I will ship out same day as baked via Priority Mail so that your treats are nice and fresh!

Stay tuned Y'all....this is gonna be a blast!
