Ms. Ruby Bear



Meet Ms. Ruby Bear!

Our Ruby Bear has only been with us for two weeks and it seems like a wonderful lifetime with our gentle giant. She's affectionate and loves the company of humans! She seems to prefer men but has steadily formed a bond with me as well.

Ms. Ruby Bear was due to be euthanized 2 Thursdays ago. She suffers from arthritis but we've managed to reduce her swelling and minimize the pain with the addition of turmeric and milk thistle to her diet. She's staked her claim on some comfortable quilts next to our bed-where she doesn't have to climb stairs and has access to soft grass and lots of shade!

She came to us with her coat dull and her teeth a little dirty but we are seeing a big improvement in her coat with daily brushings. Now, that she is feeling happy and secure we will have a mobile spa day to clip her long nails and give her a pretty new collar!

We don't know how long she will be with us on this earth but she has brought so much joy to our little family and we are so happy she is living out her last years with us. Mr. Ruby is twelve years old!

Adding flaxseed or omega 3 oils will help with the coat and her joints! Add a tablespoon her her food.

Artist-Walter Anderson

    Make time for the Walter Anderson Museum, an eccentric artist whose work has been labeled "intense and evocative". A daily ritual of rowing twelve miles to an isolated barrier island provided Anderson the opportunity to paint and draw the island's vegetation, birds, animals and insects. Stunning water colors and intricate patterns allow a glimpse into the lonely mind of a brilliant artist. Located on the main street of charming Oceans Springs, Mississippi.

Vernon Kilns Honolulu By Don Blanding

In the mid-80's, Ron and I decided to accept a job offer in San Juan Capistrano, California! We had no money to speak of! About $700 by the time we arrived in California! We arrived on the California coast with a packed 280Z; including our newest family member, Henrietta, a pretty white rescue from the Japonica Street SPCA in New Orleans! We couldn't afford an apartment when we arrived due to the fact we ONLY had $700! We rented a motel room that allowed pets and Ron went to work.  Poor as church mice, we finally struck a deal with a landlord to repair a condo ravaged by too many parties and druggies. It turned out to be a lovely rental after we totally renovated and redecorated! Our time spent in California was wonderful. I think we'd still be there now if not for my unreasonable fear of earthquakes! We loved the food culture, the weather and the friendly people! We particularly loved the Rose Bowl Antique show every month and found the garage and yard sales to be
