Long time readers know how passionate we are about our local all-breed rescue, Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation. In 2012, they found homes for 233 cats and 394 dogs. In addition, they transported an additional 292 animals to the Northeastern US no-kill shelters. That is 919 dogs and cats whose lives were saved in 2012 alone – almost 3 each and every day in our little county. Through June of 2013, adoptions were running 15% ahead of 2012.
On a more personal note, Cheoah and Qannik both came through Sarge’s as did Ruby over at The Herd Annex.
If you live anywhere near us, Saturday is a terrific day to come out and support Sarge’s (and come up and say hi to us). Sarge’s 8th Annual Downtown Dog Walk parades right down Main Street of Waynesville. Registration begins at 9 am at the courthouse with the parade starting at 10 a.m. And, as we understand it, the team that raises the most money will lead the parade. We led the parade back in 2010 and can tell you that is quite the honor.
Left to right – Kiska, Natasha, Qannik, Kodiak, Cheoah and Rusty
But the most fun is seeing all of the other canines that come out for the parade. And we mean a lot of canines.
Lots and lots of dogs!
We hope to see you there tomorrow!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way
