I wanted to save this header (it must have a proper Spoutible name) because today (19 Jan 2023) for the first time, you-know-who's name is not up there in big letters. I'm glad people are finding other things to spout off about.

This is Toby, attacked by an unknown animal, injuries so severe her former family couldn't afford to help her with large lacerations and amputation of a hind leg. She came to live with us and is a typical calico - brave, sassy, curious, talkative, & almost healed.

All of our crew - except for chickens and two horses - are rescues. Madra (Irish for "dog") came to live with us for just 6 years when cancer stole him from me. He was my soul dog.

A few months ago, my son & DIL adopted Jack, a stray. He's still skittish, so they rarely see him. One night during a visit, he found the #Courage jump on my bed to say hello.

This might be cheating a little Khan was never #Tiny , but compared to his current 85 pounds, Puppy Khan was indeed much smaller (and covered with mange when we rescued him).

We drove all day from the center of Texas to get to the southwest of the state to explore this gem. It was Winter, so we didn't bake in the summer heat.

This is my 12-yo, blind Yorkie, Betty, that I rescued a year ago. Difficult to get a photo because her head almost always is moving side to side, like a dish antenna trying to catch a signal.

My son & I often talk to each other in movie quotes. The photo is the camp where we glamped @ Terlingua/Big Bend (TX). One morning, son & DIL climbed the bluff in the background. Sometime later (waiting at the foot of the bluff), I hear "Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci! Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci!"
