This guy is so amazing. So sweet, loving. Look at that face. Love , Love, Love for everyone.
We love JD.
His time with us is limited as his cancer is affecting his everyday "stuff".
We are sad. We want this guy forever, but I guess forever is today, so we are lucky.

Here is a shot of this sweet boys face. We went to the vet yesterday. JD is suffering from frostbite, malnutrition, dehydration, open wounds from laying in one spot chained up, infected eyes. Thats all the good news. JD also has cancer, untreatable in my opinion due to his condition. JD is 25 pounds underweight. I am afraid to put him through surgery and chemo. He is aprox 9 years old and the cancer he has is fast moving and terminal, regardless of treating it. JD weighed 80 pounds the day I picked him up, in three days he had gained 2.5 pounds and every day he looks better. The cancer will indeed take JDs life but not without a few months of food, water and LOTS of lovin. According to the vets, JD would not have survived much longer in the cold without food and water. So as bittersweet as this has become, we can not save his life for long, but we can sure keep him from suffering ever again.
JD rocks

I have an old beat up ugly 1994 Polarias that only leaves the property to take the dogs across the frozen lake to an island a friend named "Stick" Island. I will try and take photos, maybe a video next time we are out. Happy days for the pups!

Mason Needs A Home
Meet Mason! He is a small, sweet-tempered and obediant pit bull (or possibly pit bull mix). He is about 6 years old, neutered, with no health problems. This boy gets along well with most other dogs (he has been living with a male Brittany Spaniel for the last two years), and children, but should probably not be in a home with cats or small animals or very aggressive adult male dogs. He and my Savage are good friends and we play together often, but his owners no longer have enough time for him and can't give him the attention he deserves.Mason is the kind of dog that people immediately fall in love with. He loves to cuddle and sleep in the bed with his people. He's a good watchdog and is very loyal. After having had a few different caretakers throughout his life, he has become very adaptable, and will fit in in most any household. He doesn't require a lot of exercise, but does need an owner willing to spend time with him, as he tends to have some seperation anxiety if left home alone for over 6 hours or so. Mason is a really clever guy, and could benefit greatly from a little more training, but all in all, is a very low-maintenance dog. He does well on or off leash, and responds well to basic obedience commands, but he's most content relaxing at home with his family. Most dog owners I know already have their hands full, but almost every one has said "If I wasn't so busy with my other dog(s) I would take Mason in a second". This dog really does deserve a stable, loving, forever home, with an owner that will make a life-long commitment to him. If any of the visitors to The Story Of Savage blog can help Mason find that home, please email me (Paula) at TackleBox1979@hotmail.com or leave a comment for me below this post. Let's help this truly good dog.

Char was with us for quite a while but the poor girl had so many demons from her past she could not be helped.
RIP good girl. No one will ever hurt you again.

Paula takes my Nala out to play with Savy often. They love each other and play so very much alike. I am convinced, a Great Dane needs a Great Dane to play with.
I like that, always need to have at least 2! Thanks for the photo Paula.

Goodbye Papa

2007-11-08T07:15:00.000-08:00

As I get motivated to try and thaw my water lines, flush the lodges water filters, drink my coffee and look at my beautiful dogs. My Papa is being buried in Ottumwa Iowa. I am not posting this for replies, I am posting this because I do not want to just go on about my day as if were just like any other. My father died last week. We made all the arrangements to head to Iowa (home) on Monday morning. My brother came Saturday and picked up our Daddy for the last trip down I35. My Mom just having her own medical emergency informed us Monday am when we were loading the cars, she would not be making the trip with us. My mother has many medical issues and can not be left alone. One of us had to stay home with her and the only choice was me. I hate Funerals and everything about them. But now today I find myself very sad that I can not be there for the end of something so very important to me for 47 years. Awkward to say the least. It was not a decision made by choice so I do not feel guilty, just weird and sad. I will leave when my sister returns to go see where my dad is buried. I spent my Dads last hours with him so for that I am grateful. It will be a long emotional day in the snow thawing water lines. Please know Papa I am thinking about you, even though my day will look like any other.

It is not.

So Very Tired
