Today was horrible for me and some of the other volunteers. We got some horrible news about two of our beloved dogs which left me with nothing to say. It was otherwise a nice day out. With sunshine, wind blowing..it great for the pups to be in a pin outside. At the same time it was frustrating and irritating. I almost left today because of some of the comments and sneers being thrown around. I had to leave on several occasions so I didn't blow a fuse (i bet I sound like a real hot head). Some people either don't relize what is coming out of their mouths or they're just plain...stupid! I'll stop ranting now and get to the pictures..
Snowball is new with us. He's said to be a Bichon/Maltese, but I'm not sure what he is. The vet has estimated him at around 4 years old. We've also found that he's an epileptic, now on daily medications to stop the siezures. It's worked so far and he's a happy dog. We couldn't win him over at the start of the adoption, but was soon puddy in our hands. When he was dropped off his borhter came along; we were told they would die without each other. That's not the case at all. They actually have their own personalities when away from the other.
Do you remember Bosco? Today his mother, Peaches, came it to be shown for adoption. She's one of the most gorgeous Huskies I've seen in a while. She loves everyone and everyone loved her. So much she has a wonderful application on her first day. With the most stunning ice blue eyes, she will melt you heart. Around 2 years old and 40-50 pounds/very slim, all she wants is to lay in the grass and sleep the day away.
A new face and a tiny one at that would be Chin, Bugsey.. what ever you want to name him. A Japanese Chin who weighs all of 3 pounds. He's in my breakable category. He was found as a stray two weeks ago..He's about 5 years old and already has two applications. Our little dogs go pretty fast.
Alice and Ralph are the Rat Terriers Oak Hill rescued from a kill shelter. (i mentioned them on this forum) They're full of energy that is ready to be burned off. In love with each other they have to go together. If we could get the energy under control they would be in great shape. Being in a shelter with very limited exercise that will happen to such a breed or most dogs int hat case.
Troy and Ripley are back up for adoption. Their home fell through because of family issues. I really feel for the lady that wanted to adopt them. She was very upset and in disbelief.
Kodiak and Ranger still coming to visit and still looking for a good home. Ranger is growing so fast and Kodiak is inching along. They seemed to be enjoying each others company today compared to last weekend.
We have a new litter of three Aussie pups. Two girls Carly Simon and Bonnie Rait, one boy Sweet baby James.
Bonnie Raitt who I adore:
Carly, Bonnie, and James:
Poor Eli. Everyone is beating him up in his foster home. Still lanky as ever, timid, and shy. He's coming along, but has a ways to go.
The Border Collie mix puppies are really sarting to mature. Their puppy coats are falling out, their faces are starting to morph..they're starting to look like dogs.
We had a long time visitor..Stwey. He came it to be socialized and it seemed to work. Came in with his tail tucked and ears back running for his life; was worn out, tail up and ears purky when he left. He's 7 months old; we're thinking Border Collie/ Corgi, but who knows?
