Finally, Back in Business

I know I owe you a Dog Listener Tip of the Week and I will be getting them posted shortly. I did not have the camera until today. I am back in business!

Mariposa is doing great. She is loving her new buddy but he caught her off guard here in the second photo and she has a face on her that is priceless!






Our girl Raja is coming along slowly. If you remember, she is the GSD momma that lost her pups to distemper. Raja came from Orange County Animal Control where she had been majorly traumatized by the catch pole. I can not enter the enclosure with anything that is a metal pole to clean up. She can only stand that pressure for a minute before she reacts. So, we are in the process of joining a second enclosure to her current one. Then I will be able to shift her over for cleaning. I can completely keep the pressure off and gain her trust. She will probably need about six months to a year for full rehab.

I will have footage of all our new babies that will be ready for adoption shortly. We have been helping several momma dogs and their litters. We have two pups left from a litter without the momma and we are hoping for a strong recovery from them. Once again the harsh aspects of an animal control facility have made it difficult for these little guys to get a healthy start.

Well, I am off to feed the dogs and I will see you again shortly.

Another Year Older, Another Year Wiser??

Last Friday I celebrated my 41st birthday. I am officially over 40! Age and my birthday really do not matter much to me but I had decided I would take advantage of the "go to Disney for free on your birthday" offer. The best laid plans... I never made it to the park and it seems the whole week has been one crazy event after another.

I don't have any photos or video for today as I have not had access to the camera. I will get that going again shortly so everyone can enjoy the crew and get to know who I am posting about. We have a load of puppies and they will soon be available for adoption. Stay tuned for some really cute pictures of little ones looking for new homes.

My Dog Listener tip of the week will be posted this weekend so please check back.

A great big Thanks to my friends at Park Ave Vet, especially Jessica for the tasty Birthday cake and for all the Birthday well-wishes from my friends on FACEBOOK!! I have really got to get better at the whole social media thing. That will be my next project.
