As the week draws to a close

Well, Friday is almost over and I had meant to post yesterday. Life has gotten a little extra full lately so here is the update.

Very sadly Balto passed away on Wen. night at the vets office. Late Wen evening Ellie was also starting to have trouble breathing. By the late morning it was time to take her to the vet to ease her suffering. She was following the exact same pattern as the previous three pups and there was no need to let her go on, knowing how it would end. On the upside of things I am feeling highly confident that the two remaining pups will pull through. Kafira and Tumaini (young lioness & hope) seem to be getting stronger. Their appetites are increasing daily and they are beginning to play as normal pups. I am still monitoring very closely as Tumaini has a small cough hanging on.

Rex, the Catahoula boy is improving greatly. He is starting to trot around and really wags his tail. He is a doll and going to make someone a fantastic companion once he completely kicks this virus.




Sam the GSD is continuing to make great strides. He is getting comfortable here and met a volunteer who has not been over recently. The greeting went very well with no signs of any aggression at all. In fact I believe she even got a small lick on the cheek.

Devon, our volunteer has been giving Mariposa some extra love these last few days and boy does Posa enjoy that. Posa is a really nice girl but needs some confidence restored as well as trust of the human kind.

Lambert is progressing in his rehab. After a very short bout with kennel cough, he is off and running. I made some attempts to introduce him to some of the other dogs over the last few days. He has interacted with Buddy the Lab, Sasha the pit bull mix, and today with Violet the pit bull mix. Lambert is a little over the top with his antics to say the least. Right out of the gate he is set on assuming the position of his supposed subject. Humpty wants to show em who's the boss. Lambert has some time and work to go yet before he will be a good candidate for adoption.

The last two video clips have come from my cell phone so the quality has been less then optimal. You can expect some more video shortly with much better viewing ability. I have a great weekend ahead and look forward to posting for you soon.
