Finally done with all of my errands and stuff for today.

Finally done with all of my errands and stuff for today.  In for the night and happy about it.  Been syringe-feeding the puppy Pedialyte.  Earlier when I was doing that she went for the syringe, like, "Hey, do that again!"  So I did.  😃  Then she ate a little bit of wet puppy food.  She actually got up out of my lap and went to her bowl - which is good I would think, since she's never gotten out of my lap on her own.  She must have really felt like eating.  No vomiting and no more diarrhea since what I found this morning.  She's peeing... it's kind of funny because when I open her kennel door she gets her two front paws out and still pees in the kennel.  I don't know why, but I find that completely adorable.  😍

She walked around outside for a few minutes earlier.  Sniffed around and nibbled on a pecan shell.  Peed.  Then was done and ready for lap time again.  The last hour or so she's been sniffing at my face and looking at me - not just snoozing immediately after getting in my lap.  She moves her ears when she hears other noises and stuff.  I feel like she's more interested in me and the environment than yesterday.  Those have to be good signs.  I'll be watching her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't start declining.

Bad day for the dogs around here. 🙁

Nappy's on eye drops and might have a skin fungus.  We'll know about that in 10 days.  My dog food is being recalled so that's freaking me right the fuck out.  Puppy has Parvo, which is no damn good and she's full of worms, too.  Costs $300 - $350 to let the vet treat her, versus about $100 for me to do the work.  Uncle Dave is paying for the treatment and I'm going to give it a go.  I've never treated a Parvo puppy before, but she doesn't look TOO  FAR gone so I'm hopeful.  Three shots per day plus all the Pedialyte I can get down her.

Oh, and Scooter was stuck in the fence when I got home.  Not a good day to be a dog at my house, it seems.  🙁

Off to get some Pedialyte and puppy pads.  Send the little girl your good vibes, please.  ❤

I guess I have myself a foster puppy.

I guess I have myself a foster puppy.  It's been a while and I've kind of missed it.  She showed up on my Aunt Hope and Uncle Dave's porch tonight.  I was pretty worried because she wasn't eating at all (though she's drank a little) so I syringe-fed her some Karo syrup.  Seems to have awakened her appetite some.  I feel much better.  I'll take whatever small victory I can get!  😃  Headed to the vet tomorrow for Nappy's eye (always something with that dog), so I'll take this little girl with me, too.  I hope she's going to be fine.  If she checks out ok I'm going to try to get her healthy and then hopefully find her a good home.

P. S.  After that video I covered her with a towel and she went back to sleep.

P. S. Again:  She grunts and it's the MOST ADORABLE THING EVER.  My foster baby Cupcake used to do the same thing.  SQUEEE!  😃

Damn - I have the BEST BOYFRIEND EVER.

Damn - I have the BEST BOYFRIEND EVER.  I left Booka locked outside this morning because he wouldn't come out from under the storage building.  I felt horrible about it because I knew it was going to rain.  I mean - he had shelter, obviously, but I'd rather him be indoors.  Anyway, Shaun called me when he left and I told him about it (I'd already left) and he came to work with breakfast for me and says he stopped by and let the dog in.  Totally made my day.  😃

Woohoo! Spay / neuter clinics are SAFE! 😃

Anyone who hasn't stopped by lately...

Anyone who hasn't stopped by lately, please go look at the Happy Tails Pet Recovery of Calhoun County group and see if you recognize anyone.  Even if you don't have a missing pet, people who are missing pets will post them there.  Won't take but a minute and could really help some people and their companions out!  Thank you!  ❤

I almost stole someone's dog today...

I almost stole someone's dog today - accidentally.  I was getting some gas and I saw her following a guy out of the parking lot.  What I didn't see was him come back and go into the store.  So the dog comes up and licks me and sits on my feet - super friendly.  She was well fed and had a collar, but not surprisingly, no tags.  I pumped my gas, put oil in my car, and she was still there.  I even waited another 10 minutes or so to see if anyone would come out and claim her, but no one did.  So I let her in my car.  Literally - I was getting in my car when he came out and said "Hey, that's my dog!"  I was like, "Thank goodness because I don't need another!  I didn't see you come back!"  He was like, "It's cool."   And they left together.  No leash or anything in a busy gas-station parking lot on Quintard.  At the very least I would have tied her somewhere to keep her from getting hit while I was shopping had it been my dog.  People are crazy!
