| Much has happened since last December.
Let's see... A young Australian Shepherd mix
(we named him "Dude") showed up
& we found him a home with a family that lives in the country, not
far from us. |
Sorry no picture of him, he came & left so quick. I'll go by & check on him & get a picture for a later update. |

Next a neighbor called us to see if we
would take in a pot belly pig. Apparently
a man she works with had to find a home for his families crippled 7 year
old "Hillary". Yep, we've got her.
The owners live in town & she was now @ about 100lbs & rooting
away their yard. Anyway, they drove up in a nice little mini-van &
Hillary was helped out and moved in with Wilbur. Well, of course he fell
in love right away, so they are separated, but can nuzzle through the
fence. Wilbur is going to be neutered, soon. |

| One day while I was at the vet (for one
reason or another), I over heard a tech mention that they weren't able
to find a home for "Priscilla" & that they were going to
have to "put her down" tomorrow. Like that's going to happen.
We've got her, had her spade (she was current on shots & negative
for heartworm). They only charged us 1/2 price, AND we've already found
her a home. We did change her name to "Freeway".
She was found running down one, & Kathy (the vet's office administrator)
came up with it & it stuck. We have already found a home for Freeway. |

Remember my neighbor that recommended
we take in Hillary, we'll her next door neighbor had a hound
show up at her house... They talked & thought "I know someplace
that will take him". "Crosby"
croons like "Bing". Well, obviously not as nice as Bing... He's
about 1 year old & he'll go to the vet next week to be checked for
heartworm. Anyone need a hunting dog? |

| A friend called & said she was helping
out a family that had lost their home, through financial difficulties-due
to health reasons. They gave away one of their dogs & were hoping
to keep "Lexie" a 3 year old Husky
mix, until they can get back into a house (they're in an apt. for
now). Well, we figured we needed to build another pen anyway. BUT, she
showed up positive for heart worm. So, we "made a deal" if Jan
(the friend) would keep Lexie through the treatment period, we would pay
to have her treated & then bring her to the ranch when she was had
a clean bill of health. (She was spayed as a young pup). |
