The Lodge at Real Life, MT.

Come visit where the air and water is clean and the people are real. As your inn keeper I confess that I have more than my share of opinions on absolutely everything. I'm also chock full of advice and ready to give it at every opportunity - asked for or not. You'll also find the entries from my old blog here: An Animal Shelter - Everyday Stories. These were stories about a typical animal shelter in Montana. It ended when my relationship with the local animal shelter ended - badly.

It Helps To Be Small

The dog above came in a while ago as a stray. Needless to say, he was old. He had no teeth to speak of and his fur was matted. No one ever came looking for him. Perhaps they thought he was so old he just wandered off to die. Or I hope it wasn't a confused old person who didn't know how or where to look for him. He's getting a good home despite his age and condition. Little dogs get breaks that big dogs may not because they are so highly adoptable. In the game of odds that determines who lives and who doesn't, it helps to be small.
