Kriser's.....

We have been spending a lot of weekends at a new place, Kriser's. It's next to a Whole Foods, we get a lot

of traffic. We've been there for three Saturday's already and have had a couple of dogs adopted.....that's great for us!!! I have a ton of pics.....so this will be mostly those. I will report on our various adoptions later.....enjoy!!!

We hope for many more adoptions......we are working hard for that!!!!

Another Lizzy Update........

I'm finally going to be posting my blog again. I've made a decision about Lizzy that is right for both of us and I need to move on.

So happy to be home......sunning herself!!!

She was glad to get out of the hospital!!!!

Her crazy flotation device!!!

I've never seen a cone like this......

So relaxed........

 Lizzy had her surgery and they removed a four inch tumor.......the cancer cells in other parts of her body are the problem. When I left A&M a week ago the doc told me she had 3 to 6 months to live and that I should put her on chemo. I truthfully didn't understand that, if she's terminal then why chemo. I had an appointment last week with my doc and she had an oncologist come in to look over the file and give me some advice. I had pretty much decided that chemo was a no go, but wanted to hear what they had to say. The oncologist told me Lizzy wasn't a great fit for chemo , almost every problem she's had in the last few years has had to do with her gut, she said it would probably make her sicker and I would end her life sooner.......while making her miserable. My doc just wants to monitor her every month to see how it goes. Right now Lizzy is back to being Lizzy, she's fooling around with the other dogs and being her old self. I believe I made the right decision. Have any of you been here.......curious as to what you did in a case like this.........

Lizzy Update.......

When I wrote last I thought it was over for Lizzy  this has been a terrible month, a couple of docs said she wouldn't make it through surgery but in the end I took my vet's advice and took Lizzy to the teaching hospital at Texas A&M, one of the best around. Today she had surgery and she made it through just fine......they removed a 4 inch mass off her duodenum......but looks like she might have more of them. She might have some problems over the long haul with pancreatitis and we won't know if the mass is cancerous for another 3 or 4 days. Keep good thoughts.....still very worried for my girl and I hope I haven't made things worse for her.

Super bad news.......

Lizzy.....my girl is dying. She has a horrible tumor.....the chances of her recovering from surgery are so slim. I know she is a nine year old girl......but still consider my baby. I have to make some decisions.....so unhappy that's why I haven't been online......wish me luck........

Unleashed.....

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th!!! Last Saturday we went to Unleashed again....they were having an adoption event....with lots of rescues, Boxers, Poodles, Basset Hounds, Kitties and us. They set it up outside and although it was hot we had a lot of fun!!! We brought the usual suspects.......

Wayne enjoying ice cream......

Daddy-O....

Wayne getting a big hug from Denise!!!!

Wayne and Daddy-O are just so good at shows and they really enjoy the attention!!! We had an additional dog this time that we had never met before, Deacon. Our friend , Michelle, took him right from animal control to foster....he had a broken pelvis that needed surgery....she took him to have the surgery and has been working with him ever since. He's just a puppy and the surgeon said the breaks were inflicted by whoever had him before.....I'll never get it!!!!

That's what he looked like right after surgery.......here's what he looked like last week...... He was having a great time playing with Wayne....

We also had some visitors that had come to our fundraiser.....

Angel and Zane.....

Angel getting tangled up!!!!

Angel and Zane with their Dad, Gary!!! All the dogs had a great time and we did too......hopefully we can get all these kids adopted.....they will all be going to Reliant next weekend.

If you are in the Houston area come by and say hi...we will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday in booth 815.....

Have a wonderful evening.........

Happy 4th!!!!!

 Hope everyone is having a safe and fun 4th of July!!! No real post for today , but the kids wanted to wish you one too!!!

I put a red bandanna on everyone...Tank couldn't be bothered to move from his nap.....

Had to follow TJ all over the house.....

Lizzy said no to the bandanna......she will only do the Christmas thing.....

Faith is always happy to help Mom.....this was only one shot.....she loves the camera!!!!

Be careful out there...and please keep the four-legged kids safe!! I'm in an area that allows fireworks everywhere...so we'll be staying in tonight......

Have a nice evening!!!!

Ok......

I think this finally works now......a long time without my computer. I have a ton of pictures on my old hard drive, and that's upsetting , but we are working to get them off. For now any picture I take goes to a memory stick or stays on the camera. We had a bunch of adoptions and also unfortunately some dogs have come back. I'm going to get myself organized tonight and get some stories started tomorrow....hope all of you have been doing well , haven't been able to keep up much on my stupidphone....too slow!! Have a great evening, glad to be back!!!!!

I'm back....

Three weeks without a computer....missed all of you...new stuff soon!!!

Calypso.......

Just wanted to tell you about Calypso!! He was at one of the shelters here in town and was going to be released.....didn't know that meant put down....but hey. I felt so bad for him I offered to foster. Some guy offered to drive him from the shelter to our place so we could vet him, fell in love and offered to foster himself!!!  You gotta love that!! He was in pretty bad shape....

That's my hand on top of him.....he's a tall guy and only weighed 34 pounds!!!! He has mange, sores and is heartworm positive, of course. We took him and got him neutered , started him on antibiotics and heartworm meds. Then we started getting him to eat....he really needs to gain some weight.

A week later his new foster showed up to take him home....here he is on the ride home!!!

His new foster is willing to give him his meds and whatever it takes to get him well and happy again.....I hope the next time I post about him he is looking good and a being shown off at events!!! Thank you Kalen for helping our boy.

Have a wonderful Friday!!!!!!!

So we really were on TV!!!!!

Check out the link from our show a few weeks ago!!!

I hope the link opens for you. We are on the first six or seven minutes and then the last three. The dogs were the stars especially Daddy-O. Comments and opinions welcome!!!!

Busy Weekend......

While we were off at the Husky Haven fundraiser last weekend a lot of other things were happening. We had 3 adoptions, in fact Kati filled out her adoption paperwork at the event!!!! She lives a ways away and we were going to be there anyway, much easier. She was so happy to be that boy's Mom!!!!

I'm so glad you guys decided to become a failed foster like the rest of us!!! He will have a wonderful life with the three of you!!!!
Elfie had been in foster for a while and he also got his forever home last weekend. He was a really great boy that had been adopted, then brought back.....not going into that. He was back in foster pretty quickly and they just decided he should stay!!!!!

We wish you a wonderful new life and hope that the second time will be the charm!!!!
Then Alvin, one of the last of the "Husky-mix" puppies also got adopted. The whole family fell in love and he has his permanent spot!!!

We only have one baby left out of that litter, Brady, hope he gets his chance soon!!!! Good for you Alvin!!!!
Then, our buddy Arizona got himself a foster!!! You remember my story about Tango and Mango....well it turns out Mango was very unhappy after Tango went to the Rainbow Bridge....Randy could see how lethargic and upset she was....so Arizona to the rescue, at least for a while. I know her spirits perked up, he's not Tango....but no one is!!! They are doing well and it remains to be seen.

Just got to Randy's , waiting for the introduction!!!!

So a really busy weekend.....I would like every one to be like that, at least as far as adoptions and fosters!!!!
I want to wish all the Moms out there a Happy Mother's Day.....whether your kids are two-legged, four-legged or in the case of my friend Denise, three-legged...please have a wonderful day!!!!

Fundraiser for Husky Haven.....

So we had our fundraiser last Saturday. Beautiful day, wonderful venue and staff, weather was great and we made a good chunk of change. My only complaint....where was everyone. We had a good turn out , but we sent 800 invitations....so I guess I expected more. Oh well.....they missed a really good time!!!!! This will be mostly in pics....so enjoy!!!!

Checking out the merch!!

Last weekend we had 3 adoptions and a foster.....so more soon!!!!

Happy Birthday......

Want to wish my Dad a Happy Birthday.....88 years young today!!! He's a WWII vet, not many of them around. He's still going strong and having a good life!!!

Love you Dad!!!! Happy Birthday!!!
