Debbie hits a rough patch

Debbie has had a tough past two weeks with the nasal draining turning into bleeding quite profusely. We had another trip to the specialist and then back home with several days of diarrhea and lack of appetite. I don't think anyone would want to see those pictures as she sure didn't look her picture perfect in them. Today was a good day with her eating again and more active. This poor girl has been through so much and still has the sweetest disposition and as you can see from the picture a very pretty girl. She loves everyone in her gentle way. Thanks for your support and for caring.

Not a good day for Debbie

Today was not a good day for our sweet Debbie. She had been doing so well and progressing quite nicely. I received a note this morning at 5AM, that she had started to bleed from her nose quite a bit. I called the foster soon afterwards to see what had happened. After some discussion as to whether to take to our local veterinarian when they opened at 7:30 or run her back to where she had been treated, I decided she had to go to that veterinarian even though it was a distance away from the foster home. They had all her records and had been doing the checkups. The doctor that had been treating her was off today but they said they were calling him. Teri, the foster mom, took her there this morning and, to our surprise, the doctor came in on his day off to check her and help us. I am so thankful to Dr. Michael Moore of VCA All Care for his kindness and caring in his treatment of this adorable, very sweet, beautiful girl. We pray that this is only a short problem and that she will continue to recover and do well.

Diana is ready for adoption

Diana is doing very well in her recovery and will be posted on our regular available page soon.   She will be available to an approved adopter that has older children, preferable in the teenage range, or adult couple.   She is still quite young and in need of obedience training and time to rehab from her surgery.   Please check our Available Page.

Debbie's Fourth of July

Debbie is doing wonderfully and is scheduled for another recheck this coming Friday. Her nose is healing well but still has some drainage. As you can see she was lounging around enjoying her 4th of July holiday the other day. What a sweet, sweet girl.

Diana's recheck

Diana came in to see Dr. Kelpe for a recheck today and is doing very well in her recovery. The splint was examined and her leg checked. She is getting around very well with this leg in the splint but needs it one for another week or so. she will come back in for another recheck and the splint will be removed to see how she is doing and if needed resplinted. She will need another foster home in the next two weeks that will be able to monitor her while being confined for her recovery. She should be in a home with no other dogs or the ability to separate to help with her recovery.

The pups are now 5 weeks old and doing great. They are all very healthy and happy guys. Momma is slowly weaning them but will take another week or two for that process to be complete.
