"Lady Love" 2 (copyright July 2013 Sheri Palmer)
Lady had a dog door she could go out when ever she willed and this soon became a problem running out to chase a bird or a squirrel or the mail man off" her" property almost non stop. So they built her a fence but this wouldn't stop her from jumping the six foot fence and chasing anyway. She not only... Sign in to see full entry.

"Lady Love" (Copyright July 2013 Sheri Palmer)
Part Shepard and part wolf, Lady was every bit a lady except when she was outside! She favored the wolf side of her blood line and surely intimidating to everyone even me at times. She always sat or lay out of the way usually in a corner or under the table or bed always facing the door. I imagine... Sign in to see full entry.

Bear (5) (The End) (Copyright 2012 Sheri Palmer)
The Men were milking and rushed out when they heard me yelling. Taking the dog from me and laying him in the milk house out of harms way of the other pet dogs we had seemed relieved. (My uncle sprayed the hose over me and pulled the leaches off with the help of his jack knife. Terrible!!!! Need not... Sign in to see full entry.

The water came up to my chin. I thought as long as I can walk and breath I can do this. I had to move really, really slow not to alarm the dog. If I sped up the dog would try to get away from me. I could only wish to go fast so I could get out of the muddy, murky swamp water but, the dog would look... Sign in to see full entry.

Bear (3) (Copyright 2012 Sheri Palmer)
Of course I was very gutsy and it wouldn't be the first time i received a big bite for helping a sick animal. I knew it's normal for them to fight or flight. This creature already tried to flee but couldn't. So as I finally got a few feet from it, I realized, it's hair was standing on end all over... Sign in to see full entry.

Bear (2) (Copyright 2012 Sheri Palmer)
Twelve years old and not lacking in determination; I jumped those golden bushes one at a time. The closer I got the more I wondered if I'd be able to get away if this was a healthy bear and would start to attack. I could see it had long hair like a collie dog. This creature was looking less like a... Sign in to see full entry.

Bear (1) (Copyright 2012 Sheri Palmer)
The bogs were slowly disappearing in the swamp with all the rain storms. At a quick glance nothing unusual out there for miles of "Keene swamp" we called it, part of "The Black River" running through the State lands in upstate NY and through the farm I lived with my Grandparents. When this lake... Sign in to see full entry.

King and I (5)(the end) (Copyright 2012 Sheri Palmer)
Again in the early morning the Veterinary arrived to finish pulling out Kings porcupine quills. This time would be the most serious of attempts because they would be pulling quills out of the eyes and ears witch could be deep into Kings brain. All the grownups went outside, we were told to watch out... Sign in to see full entry.
