New Home, New Name, New Life

Rusy formeraly known as Rocky loves his new home, doggie brother and family.

Last Thursday I took Rusty and Rebel to be neutered. Upon examination a murmur was heard when listening to Rusty so the spay/neuter clinic referred him to the regular vet for his neuter. Rebel went ahead and was snipped and in the mean time Rusty got lots of love and a blankie. Monday Rusty went to the regular vet for his snip and did Awesome! Here is a pic of the "lap dog" when he came home.

He was pretty doped up and since he would not stop licking he had to wear the lovely head gear. He and his pal Rebel worked on the head gear until they chewed it off his fat head so he is obviously doing great. Vet said the murmur was very slight and almost un-noticeable. :) YAY!

Woofie update

Rocky's first night in his new home was fun filled. Took the people 45 minutes to get him up the stairs then took Rocky an hour and a half to figure out that he could in fact walk across hard wood floors .. after than another hour to get him down the stairs ... apparetly he was comfortable enough that he went back up and across the floor to sleep in the bed room with his new family. Rebel sleeps on the floor at the end of the bed and Rocky slept on the floor at the side of the bed. So far he has only had one "P"accidnet in the house.

During the day they have a 3 car garage that is connected to the house so it is temperature controlled.  Rocky was hesitant at first then he saw his friend run out and jump on the doggie fouton and thought that would be fun. He is still very interested in going outside but once his business is finished and he trollips around the yard he is ready to go back in.

Last night he was laying on his very own doggie bed with a toy watching tv ... Both of the doggies are going to get snipped together on Thursday :) Happy Times!


other than that - we still have kittens that need homes. They were spayed/neutered last Thursday and are doing great!

We are thinking about and purring hard for our friend Ginger Jasper he is feeling poorly and needs some extra love sent his way.

Rocky

A while back we wrote about a neighbor woofie named Rocky. He is a boxer that has been out on a chain for a long time and momy has been trying to get him. Last week the owner told momy that if she "wanted that dog he was over there .... " obviously momy was upset but quickly went to work on finding Rocky a happy home ...

Welll ... a guy at the fire station said if Rocky and his dog Rebel got along then they would take him. Rebel is a rot/huskie mix. Black and tan like a rot but has the fur and size of a huskie … so Rocky went on a field trip yesterday at 2 – he did so good on the leash and sat in the back of the jeep and looked out the back glass the whole way … he was very curious and very good. Rocky will sit and lay down, we think he will do more but he was so excited play that we didnt test him. We stayed about 2 hours to see how the dogs would get along there were lots of sniffs and tail wags but no barking or growling. There was walking and jumping a lots of peeeeeing in the yard. I was really worried about how he would respond to being in the house but amazingly he did great!  He can not climb steps and whined about everyone going upstairs but Rebel went back down and kept him company.

By the time we left (2 hours later) Rocky was stretched out in the kitchen floor and Rebel was licking him. Rockys ears have been frost bitten and he has a spot on his lip and few other spots but I think most of that will heal with time and love. There was a call about 7 and the guy told Shon that Rocky discovered the food bowl and ate it all (large dog dish that was ¾ full when we were there) and when the fire pager went off both dogs were laying in the floor side by side snoring.

Hoping to have a picture of Rocky and his new brother soon :)

ANOTHER ONE .....

Dady brought home ANOTHER baby last Wednesday night ... he found her at the bottom of our drive way trying to climb a tree ... she was unable to climb and so she curled in a ball at the bottom of the tree ... dadys truck scairt her ... he started talking to her and she began to cry but never came out of her ball until he got her in the truck - of course he brought her home and put her in with the other kittens
