It breaks my heart to hear of prior abusive situations--Sweetie now can be sweet without fear. Wow, Lady looks like one with her new style.

I am so glad Sweetie has ended up with you and Alayne. I cringed reading about her sad past. It broke my heart. She looks lovely. I know in time Sweetie will regain her confidence in mankind because of the love and kindness she's going to get from the both of you. You and Alayne are doing God's work. May you both be blessed abundantly.

Sweetie is certainly deservant of a loving home with you! I'm sure with more time she'll be taking photos with you side by side, with complete confidence and probably taking truck rides with you into town.
I'm sorry to hear about Lady's advanced heart condition. Making what time she has special and loving is the greatest gift to her. The groomers did a wonderful job on her too; she looks beautiful!

Thanks to all involved in Sweetie's rescue. What a precious face! My heart breaks for the mistreatment she experienced in her earlier days. She has truly been brought to the best place to be, and I know she will soon be won over by Steve. Many hugs to both Lady and Sweetie!

Welcome to RDR Sweetie, I think that in my mind I'll call her D.J.
for Dolly Junior in memory of another abused soul that through the love and commitment of you and Alayne had lots of happy,peaceful, secure and loving years. One thing is for certain she is in the absolute best place now,and from all 8 of our border collies to her and the rest of the gang at RDR enjoy now D.J. what a loving hand, heart and home feels like. May God continue to bless ya'll.

Did anyone else notice that this post was about two black dogs with white, spotted legs? :-)

Welcome, Sweetie, to your wonderful new life! It is truly heartbreaking to hear that such a lovely girl has been so mistreated. People who abuse animals are the worst kind of monsters. One can only hope that what goes around, comes around.

Thank you Steve for taking her in. You and Alayne are beautiful people.

I am sorry to hear about Lady. At least her last few months of life will be love-filled ones. We should all be so lucky to be in such good hands!

Finally Sweetie is in a safe place. Congratulations to all of you who were instrumental in bringing her to this haven.

Sweetie reminds me of Lucy - a crossbreed - who was rescued from a local shopkeeper by my Foundation - Xena Foundation. She came in with an amputated hind leg, which was still raw and needed treatment. She had her hind leg mangled (knee down) in a road accident.

Much love to Sweetie and Lady, one of whom has just begun her happy life at RDR and the other who will end her days as happily and comfortably as possible at RDR.

Welcome dear Sweetie! You beautiful girl. I'm so sorry for whatever has happened to you, but you have a friend in Steve! He will win you over in no time.

Lady's prognosis is bittersweet. Not liver cancer, but other things. Still, she will enjoy the time she has with you. I had a dog with Cushings and remember we had to determine if it was the pituitary or adrenal gland because the treatment was somewhat different. Sounds like the Cushings will take a back seat to Lady's heart issues. She will remain in my thoughts.

Thank you again, Alayne and Steve, for all you do.

Dear Lady, you are in the best place you could be right now. My thoughts are with you and Steve and Alayne.

We are so happy that Sweetie has found that special place and the life that she deserves. Let's hope those who made her first years of life so horrible find the "special" place they deserve either in this life or the next (or both). They will. Things do have a way of catching up with us, eventually. Right Mr. Vick?

Lady, we will be thinking about you. You look beautiful.

Once Sweetie figures out the deal at RDR, I'm sure she'll come around to humans and men (wait, they're humans, too). It may takes months and months, but she'll understand what kindness really is. Can you imagine what this sweet thing went through while the leg was healing? Animals are so much more forgiving than some humans deserve.

I'm so sorry that Lady's heart condition is so far gone. And I knew she would look stunning after a grooming!! My thoughts are with you and her for whatever times she has remaining. It will be the best time of her life.

Welcome home, Sweetie!! I have no doubts whatsoever that in a very short time, you'll realize nobody's going to hurt you again. You'll only know love, plenty of good food, comfy spots to lie on and have lots of new friends to romp about with.

As I'm sure Lady is truly going to live the best months of her life.

God bless you.

I agree with all the comments above and once again Steve your blog post has been a highlight of my day.

As for Sweeties leg, I know that if a persons arm breaks and it is set incorrectly it can be 'rebroken and reset' (or what ever it's called), is this not something that could be done in Sweeties case?

Welcome home Sweetie - you're safe now, girl. Enjoy every minute of it!! I wish I could reach into the computer and just hold her. Thank you to everyone who made it possible to get her there.
Wow - what a difference a new hairdo makes to a Lady, eh? I'm sad and happy (as I am sure you are too) - sad that she has such a short time left, but happy that she can spend it in the best place a dog can find to spend their last months.
How's Granny doing?
Stay strong, you guys - and warm.

hi there, i've been following your story for months now, heartened and saddened at times by your daily news, and i just wanted to make the suggestion that you add paypal as a payment option for donations. as a craftsperson selling on etsy (which i know you're familiar with : ), i always have a bit of extra money in my paypal account and have wanted to donate it and i know others would find it easier as well.

Amazing how something so sweet could be treated with such cruelty; I'd like to "smack around" that individual and let him/her know just how it feels!

welcome, sweetie! the name does fit her well. she must have had too many hard knocks in her short life - i just don't understand how people can be so cruel or so oblivious! I am sure that it will take time but that she will become brave and comfortable in her new home!
I am also glad that Lady has a little bit of time left in which you can give her all the love and attention that she should have had her entire life. She is certainly a beautiful dog; what a difference a grooming makes. She must feel much more comfortable, too.

I also wanted to thank you and the people who provide monetary gifts to help these special animals.

How sad that this beautiful dog has had such trauma in her life. But her future is so much brighter now...she is in the BEST place she could ever be, at RDR. And its an absolute certainty that Steves gentle, caring manner will bring her around to men. Welcome to the Ranch, Sweetie. You'll be in our thoughts & prayers. Looking forward to happy updates about your new life!

What a beautiful girl - give her big hugs from IL. ...Looking forward to hearing more about Sweetie as she comes out of her shell and turns into the happy spirit she was meant to be.
