Is This Our Dog?

Will dropped her off and I don't know what he told them to do....but when I got her I didn't recognize her. I just saw this other dog that happened to be really excited to see me. Then I looked closer. These pictures don't even do justice about how different she looks. Will keeps saying to her, "I'm so sorry, I won't ever do this to you again."

I am worried about the rough play around here. The dogs bite on the cheeks (face cheeks not butt cheeks) and necks but now her parts don't have fur...so I'm a bit worried about that.

Life with Buddy

Yes everyone thinks we are crazy for getting a third dog in a townhouse minus a backyard. We are crazy...crazy about our animals. This is Buddy with that awful cone on his head, laying on his back, with his legs spread, and "airing" out the area!

This was a tornado warning and bad thunder and lightning. I don't think Buddy was such a fan as he squished his way under this really little table by our couch.
Now that Buddy is all healed nicely we are seeing he is totally still a puppy and ready to play! This will look scary to you, but they do this and "talk" make noises the whole time, laying down, mouth wide open, and lots of teeth. While Jade rests and occasionally comes over and bites a leg or a cheek to start more trouble!

Tuna Delight

from Healthy Doggie Biscuts Book by Jonna Anne

1 C cornmeal
1 C whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
4 oz tuna fish (canned in oil)
1/2 C water

1. Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
2. Puree tuna with oil and water in food processor.
3. Blend dry and wet ingredients to form a dough.
4. Roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes.
5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

I actually think Behr would like this better without being baked. He prefers soft treats and refuses Milkbones these days. Maybe that's because I'm making his treats!

Are you in need of a senior female GSD?

Gretta lives here in West Ashley. She is being fostered by my friend Michelle. If you'd like to have her please contact me!

Returned to their owner

During the visit at Mama's house in Columbia I took Jade out and saw two Mini-Australian Shepherds. So I grabbed their collar and took them in the basement. Mama is yelling at me I don't want stray dogs in my house...I was like really? They are together and they are the same breed. Not strays, these were pets.

Only one had a tag, rabies tag, so I called the vet. I got in touch with someone at the work number and they contacted the owners. The owner called me back and came within 5 minutes. "They got away from me this morning" UHHH unresponsible! They were very hungry and very cuddly, thought the couch was home, but had been swimming in the creek.

I can't believe I didn't yell at the owner. If they had separated the one without tags might not have been rehomed. I know they could have had chips, but that doesn't matter! Ends up they have 3 of this breed, I hope they take better care of them next time.

A Visit with Mama and Rod

I forced myself upon Mama and Rod this past week. Mama didn't really want us because she was worried about her cat. However, I packed Jade up and we went anyway.

Now let me tell you about her cat. His name was "Tiger," but she changed it to Slim. He is a 22 pound cat that would have been euthinized if I hadn't adopted him for her! He came from Charleston SPCA.

I should have been worried about Jade! Slim doesn't have claws but he doesn't need them, at least with Jade she is so sweet. Slim looks like a Butterball Turkey, these pictures underestimate his weight!

My "Niece and Nephews"

Awww...other dogs like my toys too!

This is Austin, a 7 year old (Kim correct me if I'm wrong) small mix from Greenwood, SC animal shelter.

This is Shelby, a 3 year old female medium sized mix from Charleston, SC animal shelter.
They are both living the life in Florence, SC
Eddie, 3 year old male from Greenville, SC!Charlie AKA Turkey...found Thanksgiving weekend on the side of the road. Jenwilli just melted and took him in! I gave Charlie a toy and he ran around the backyard throwing it in the air for hours! He was totally entertaining himself.
