Attention dog lovers: Over Labor Day week, Houston Collie Rescue, in accordance with a bankruptcy judge's orders, took in 139 (!!!) collies from an animal hoarder. What was supposed to be 3 dogs, turned into 35, and then over 100, and then puppies were born.....well, you get the picture.

(For more information and pictures, just google Houston Collie Rescue, seizure, Tomball, collies.....any of those will get you to the stories.)

One of my own dogs was a rescue obtained from HCR a few years back and I can personally attest to the great things this organization does. With over 130 dogs to care for, this group needs continuing help! It's pretty amazing what they've done so far....the worst cases are already in foster homes and many more of the collies are going to foster homes every day. It's possible that the overall number of collies to be cared for will grow, as more female dogs may have been in the early stages of pregnancy at the time of seizure.

Eventually, these dogs will be available for adoption, but they've got a long way to go in foster care as even the "easiest" ones need to be brought to a healthy weight and then spayed or neutered.

Read up on this case and if the spirit moves you to make a donation, I know they'd be MOST appreciative!

Like a difficult houseguest, I thought this pound would NEVER leave! LOL!

It's been a tough couple months with a hip problem. Diagnoses are hazy...osteoarthritis, tendinitis, IT band, piriformis muscle, etc. I've had the best success with rest, stretching, and a slow return to more normal exercise. Just got back to being able to walk my 3.1 miles comfortably....MOST of the time, anyway.

But the major reason this pound took so long has to do with too many legal, but calorically dense, snacks throughout the day. If I can be mindful of those, I seem to do better. Of course, those snacks are nuts....not peanuts this time, but just about any other kind. A good food, but too many gets me into trouble. I know I should be measuring out a portion and not having any more, but it's just so easy to grab a handful here.....and there.....and then again.....and maybe later too.

Maintenance is continuing to be a learning process.

Revisiting my goal weight is still very much in sight; but more like October now, rather than summer's end. It is what it is.
