Miss Kloe......

So a couple of weeks age we rescued little Kloe from animal control. She was a baby a few months old.....picked up by herself. Animal control is not a real good place for puppies....especially without mom and the immunity they get from her milk. She seemed okay and we got someone to step up to foster her!!!! We had her for the next few days and she was good....but then she woke up with a snotty nose and wouldn't eat or drink, and was terribly lethargic. That usually means something bad from distemper to parvo.....you keep your fingers crossed that it is only an upper respiratory infection. We feed her by had but she wasn't hungry and not drinking was bad. We got her on some meds and hoped for the best. The first few days were not good , although she started drinking water and was at least moving around. Last weekend she started improving....I had her out on the lawn and she was running when I decided to give her a cookie.....and she ate it...and three or four others. After that she started playing, drinking and eating....she still had a bit of a stuffy nose.....but much better. I hope we dodged the parvo or distemper....she is still on meds.

I know she's not a pure husky....but she's very cute!!!! Her fosters came and picked her up today....hopefully she will contintue to improve!!!! We wish her the very best.....
You have a great Saturday!!!!

Vintage Park.....Once More

So last Sunday we were at Vintage Park again.....I like it because it's kind of informal and we're only there for four hours!!! I decided to take one of the dogs that doesn't get out much, Daddy-O. He's super sweet and I can't figure out why he hasn't been adopted. He was pretty stinky and blowing coat so my friend and I decided to give him a bath on Saturday. We took him to this place that has indoor baths and warm water, they also supply the shampoo and towels. In the bath next to us was a Samoyed , another double coated dog. By the end of the bath there was so much fur, I felt really bad for the girl working there. We offered to help clean up, but she said it was her job, not to worry.....but it was a mess...I hope they will let us back!!!! On Sunday, it was really crappy weather and we didn't know if it was going to rain. It didn't so we went. It was terribly cold and windy though. We were supposed to meet up with our friends from In the Name of Zoey, but I got a text that their parrot flew out the back door and they couldn't leave him....so it was just Husky Haven. We did have Izzy show up from In the Name of Zoey with her foster mom!!!We had Silver and Wayne along with Daddy-O, but not too many people showed up because of the weather.

Daddy-O and Wayne

Wanye and Silver rekindling their bromance!!!!

Izzy......from In the Name of Zoey

Izzy again...she is such a sweet girl!!!!

I was freezing my butt off, and decided that since the other guys weren't coming....besides Izzy, that we'd call it a day at four. Around three the wind started getting really bad....I was fearing for our tent....when a huge gust came and took our tent down the walkway towards the parking lot!!! Luckily everyone in Natural Pawz came running out to help us grab it before anyone got hurt!!!! At that point I looked at the girls and asked them if we were over for the day.....they said yes. I was happy that it was such a terrible day....hardly anyone was walking around.....that tent would have hurt. Note to self.....get the weights from Cyndii!!!! So that was our fun day.....gonna do it again tomorrow.....hopefully without incident!!!
Have a great day!!!!!

Sorry......

So many jobs this week....can't believe another week has gone by!!!! I have some really good foster stories to share with you today.....
A couple of weeks ago my ex-boyfriend sent me a pic and a story about a lost Husky....his name is Sydney and he was found wandering around Houston. The lady who found him had him checked out , he was heartworm negative and in good condition.....just very underweight. We figured he'd been out on the streets for awhile.His name was on his collar, but of course no chip or any other ID. I posted him immediately to Husky Haven FB....and we got a foster for him in a few hours!!!! One of our previous adopters decided to take Sydney in and get him a great foster home till we can find him something permanent.

This is Sydney and Bear in their backyard!!!! Bear is the black and white and I guess you can guess who Syd is!!! It's so great to have some adopters that will help out in a short amount of time!!!
Now Jyll I've talked about a little before. She is the girl we got a couple of years ago that didn't have a hair on her. Part was mange....part probably burns.....but it took a long time for her to look ok. She still has areas that are scarred...will probably never clear up.

I don't have a really good pic of her, but you can tell on her legs she has lots of scars.....anyway, last Saturday a guy came over to fill out some paperwork....he was going to take a dog in one of the shelters. He looked around and decided that he would at least foster until that went through. He asked me what girl was in most need and I said Jyll. Well he took her home that day and she is fitting in well with his other two Huskies. He is still trying to see if that other dog will work with his pack....but for now Jyll has a wonderful place to live. It was so exciting...all of us there that day were so happy!!!!
So that's my stories for today.....I am going to push myself to write more often!!!
Have a wonderful day......

Some Stuff.....

Busy, busy week....but back to posting!!!! So first a little bitching!!! Last week I thought this terrible winter was over....we actually had a couple of days in the 70's!!! That all stopped Sunday, when I got up to take care of dogs it was in the 20's and raining....crazy. This is what it looked like Tuesday morning....

Yes, people that is ice all over those trees....I live in Houston, not supposed to be happening in March. Luckily the temps have gone up, we are no longer freezing and I hope that's it....I just can't handle it!!! Okay...I'm done with that.
Sunday night I went to help with the dogs and we had some previous adopters there. They had decided to pick Solomon.....so glad he is finally getting his chance. Like I said they've had Huskies before, so they know what to expect. I forgot my camera...wasn't expecting anyone....but their son gave me his phone so I could get a pic before they left.

Solomon has decided to be a lap dog....they really didn't care either!!!! So glad for him, their son is going to work at training him....so happy!!!
One last thing for today....Happy Birthday son....have a great time tonight....love you.
Have a great evening......

Two Years.....

Two years ago this weekend I started this blog. It's been so great meeting new people and checking out other blogs. I want to thank you for supporting me.....here's to many more years of dogs!!!!

Vintage Park.....Part Two...

So we had an opportunity to go to Vintage park again this last Sunday with our friends In the name of Zoey Rescue. I was down one Husky from the week before....but I had two coming, that was okay. At the last minute my other volunteer had to cancel for work, so I started looking around to see who I could bring. All the dogs at our directors were blowing coat really badly so I decided to call some of our local fosters to see if anyone could get another dog there. I figured the first one to call back would be the one. My friend Jim called and said he'd bring Kaylyn. Kaylyn had been with him for about a month and a half and I figured she was probably looking pretty good by now. To refresh your memory....here's what she looked like late last year.....skinny and sick....

Here she was the night Jim picked her up......
Here's what she looked like on Sunday......

Giving Wayne a kiss....I think

She is so pretty now and finally filling out....it was so wonderful to see her looking so great!!!! As we were walking to show her off Jim said he was doing this a courtesy to me.....he was planning to adopt her this week!!! Another failed foster!!! She will have a wonderful home with him and his wife and their other two Huskies. Wishing that little girl the very best!!!!
I also want to say thanks to Angelica and Jorge from In the Name of Zoey for bringing Ulla and Harvey out again.
Have a wonderful evening.....if you're in Houston, stay dry......

Two for one......

Been a super busy week.....haven't been catching up with my blog like I should. We had two events this last week and you get both today!!
Last Sunday we had a small event at a Natural Pawz. We were there with another rescuer and her group, In the Name of Zoey. We had a great time and the weather was great.....not a lot of traffic, but hopefully at least one dog will get a new home. It's better with pics.....

Wayne having a terrible time!!!!!

Sweet baby Gunter.

Ulla and Harvey from In the Name of Zoey

Wayne and Silver....a major bromance!!!

Harvey steals the show!!!

Gunter...he wouldn't let me get a better pic of him, always turning his head!!!!

Miley and Ulla....

On Friday a couple of the girls went to Pearland Jr High and took their dogs with them. We do an event every year with the malamute group and talk about the differences and similarities of Mals and Huskies. The best part is when they get to spend time being loved on by the students. Becky brought Gunter.....he had double duty this week, and Denise brought Iniki. You can't tell from the pics but Iniki is a tripod. She has no issue with that!!!!!

Gunter waiting for the next pet!!!

Iniki coming in for hers

What a life....

really!!!!

Gunter taking a break....

I appreciate all the hard working volunteers that take their time to man these events......you are the best!!!!!
I have a ton of stories....
Will be back soon....hopefully tomorrow...
Have a wonderful afternoon!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Lizzy and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day. My birthday is today and I got Lizzy 6 years ago this week. So we wish each other a happy day. I had some great pics but since my computer crashed I'm still having problems with all this. So have a Happy Valentine's Day...love you all have a great time with all your loved ones!!!!

Thanks.....

I had a another blog post ready for tonight.....but I have to say thanks to my friends instead. We were at rescue yesterday taking care of the dogs and had an impromptu celebration for my birthday later this week. I have to start the story by saying that I had gotten on to FB early yesterday and saw that my friend Cyndii had made some beautiful cupcakes for an event. I was thinking that someone was sure lucky to get those cupcakes and then I noticed that one of them had my dogs name on it......they were for me!!!! Check out how stunning they are.....

I don't know if you can see it well, but the dog on the right is bi-eyed...just like my TJ!!!!

We almost didn't want to eat them, they are such works of art!!!! Becky brought a chocolate cake and red velvet cake balls and we all got an afternoon sugar high!!! All of the sweets were gluten free also....really appreciated that!!!

That's me getting ready to bite Lizzy's head off....of course I couldn't!!!!

So our director gave me a really great b-day present....she announced that I'm now VP of Husky Haven.....something I have wanted to do for a long time. It will be more work....but I'm up to the task!!! Thanks Cyndii for the beautiful cupcakes and Becky for the cake and all of my friends that were there yesterday....you know how to make a girl feel special!!!!
Have a wonderful afternoon!!!!

I'm back........

So last Monday I was going to send a nice note to all of you who had commented on my BLD story. When I hit reply...well my computer just went to any website it wanted to. I had my son take a look and he confirmed that it had crashed. Luckily for me (not for him) he knows how to fix these things....so I'm now back up and running. You don't really realize how much you depend on this thing!!!!
I wanted to update on some adoptions and fosters.....now I can. Let's start with our newest adoption, Laylita. She was picked by a wonderful family...it was the only dog they wanted to see!!! They brought over their dog, Montana, for a meet and greet and Laylita had a wonderful time chasing him around!!She's a pretty active girl, but they're an active family so it should be great for her. I got only one pic.......

Laylita was ready to go!!! We wish her the best time in her new home!!!
Pi is a dog I've talked about before....he had a foster home and they decided if he wasn't adopted by the end of last year they would keep him.....and they did.

So this sweet boy also has a loving family!!!! Then they decided to foster a dog until our director is back on her feet from her knee surgery. They decided on Sapphire, a really pretty black and white blue eyed girl. They are working with her to teach her commands, she will be an adoptable girl with good manners.

A lot more stories to come.....but gotta finish cleaning the house so I can sit down and watch the Superbowl later.....go Seahawks!!!
Have a great Superbowl Sunday.....

BLD Update.....

Been getting really far behind in dog updates......I'm so busy I haven't gotten around to blogging...that changes today. So we will start with BLD. Our director had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago and we tried to get as many dogs as we could into foster care for a month or so. So my granddaughter , Julia (not really my granddaughter, but I treat her like she's mine) and her family decided to foster Mr. BLD. I wasn't sure he would get along with her dog Emme, but was willing to give it a try!!As it turns out, Emme loves BLD.....and so does the rest of the family!!! He is having a great time and being spoiled to death, he deserves that after all the crap he went through in 2012. You can see by the pics he is doing well!!!!

I'm so happy he is having a wonderful time!!!!

BLD with Julia's bro, Nathan...

Julia with BLD and Emme!!!!!

I have a ton more updates.......will be a lot more coming this week....
Have a great weekend!!!!
