Mr. Zane.....

So happily, Mr. Zane got a new home on Saturday. A friend of the rescue, Anthony, had found out about Zane through Denise and wanted to help him out. He had adopted Wayne and couple of years before when Denise was fostering him. I was happy to adopt Zane out to him but asked he be patient so I could get him through his month of antibiotics.....and spend some time monitoring him till he was doing better. He was finished with those meds last week and it was time for Zane to go to a forever home. Now Charlie/Wayne is a big guy and still a bit young, so I was hoping he could respect Zane and not get too crazy trying to play.They were great together. They had another dog at home but he said it wouldn't be a problem....ok.

Getting ready!!!!

On the way!!!

New home....another new friend!!!!

All of them are having a grand time....as I said Zane still needs some peace and quiet, but he's going to be ok. Thanks Anthony for giving a dog that has been through hell a wonderful spot to land!!!

Good luck Mr. Zane I know I will be getting plenty of photos!!

Have a great evening.....

Happy Valentine's Day......

Today is also my birthday.....but really at my age I don't care much anymore. It is a bittersweet day today since we would have celebrated Miss Lizzy's 11th birthday. Never did know what day she was born....just February so when I adopted her nine years ago just made sense we would celebrate together.

With Rudi many years ago.....

She hated me that birthday.....

Beautiful girl!!!!

 Before TJ, Faith and Tank moved in permanently , we had a constant in and out of fosters.....Lizzy took it in stride ,but I always tried to have some time with just the two of us on Valentine's Day....usually a super long walk which was about her favorite thing in the world. And of course some kind of yummy treat!! 

Everything was great until July of 2014, when my girl got so sick. Then to find out a month later she had three months to live. That was a terrible time I can tell you. But tried to make the best of it so I wouldn't impact the dogs with crying and depression. At the end of 2014 things seemed to stabilize and you start living in a false sense of security. So we got through 2015 with some ups and downs and I was happy she was still doing so well....especially last year when she reached her tenth birthday. But pancreatic cancer is a horrible thing and sadly for all of us I had let her go in July, almost two years to the day when she first got sick. 

The reason I talk about Lizzy more than my other babies is because she was my first dog ever....I was already in my 50's when I got her. 

I wish her happy birthday today.....up there at the Rainbow Bridge running around with all her friends. Love you Miss Lizzy...

I wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day....give a big hug to all your 2 and 4 legged friends ( in the case of Niki NuNu 3 legs!!!) and have a wonderful afternoon.....

Catching Up a Bit......

It's been busy in my household for the last few weeks. lots of work, finally redoing my house and taking care of Mister Zane. We had a couple of fun adoptions and here we go with the first one!!!
Mr. Drifter was adopted a week or so ago. He was taken out of Harris County Shelter by a couple of our really wonderful fosters with our director's blessing. This was in January of last year and he stayed with the rescue for a couple of nights so he could get neutered. He was the most fearful dog I had ever been around.....I tried talking to him and everything else , but he would just growl when I came in to feed him. I wished Jon and Faith luck when they picked him up and didn't see him again for months. He came with us when we had our pics taken at HBU last summer and was a completely different dog.....still a little standoffish but nothing like earlier in the year. He was at our HBU event in October and was so much friendlier. I was happy to send the applications to his fosters...they really worked miracles on him. They finally found his perfect family....kids, other dogs and all!!!

Never thought he'd be in such a happy place....thanks to Jon and Faith for all their hard work. Now he has a family to grow up with!!! Have a great one pretty boy!!

More to come....
Have a great evening!!!
