Lucky update

Tuna fish and Lucky do not mix. He has truly been getting sick of the rice/hamburg/chicken concoction that I have been feeding him, so I left a tiny bit of tuna fish in a bowl for him and gave it to him with his meal.

Too much fat fed to a skinny sheltie = stinky messes on the floor and on them.

So, he spent the night downstairs last night.

Except, this morning, I woke up and he was beside the bed.

So, he must have climbed the stairs.

By himself.

Not bad for a sheltie that we though we might lose only 2 weeks ago.

Shatzi is on PetFinder!

Yep, the big girl is ready for her forever home!

Spread the word far and wide (I'll write up what we have been working on for the barking issues later).

Shatzi went to her forever home on May 24, 2008.

Foster Dogs #9 & #10: Lucky & Banjo


On November 30, I picked up 2 male shelties from an owner who needed to find a new home for them. Their names are Banjo and Lucky.

Banjo is a very healthy 6 year old male and once he is neutered, he will be available for adoption. He is such a sweet cuddlebug! Who can resist his pretty face (he is the one on the left).

Lucky isn't in great shape, though. I rushed him to Holly's vet in Portland where he stayed for a week getting IV fluids and numerous tests. See, Lucky is severly underweight and Holly & I thought we might lose the little guy. But, thankfully, he is coming around nicely - in fact, he is at my feet right now waiting for his next meal. He gets stronger every day and is going to be a little hellion once he is all better!
