This young couple that left San Antonio as soon as they could get back to their beloved Northeast didn’t leave behind the deplorable state of unwanted pets here. They are returning to save them one van load at a time. When I read about their efforts it made me cry. Really awesome work.

Alexi's New Family
Today I saw Alexi in her new home and she is happy and well-loved. What more could I ask for? So I am over the tears, well mostly.
Thank you Tracey, Ron and Ella for being the forever family that Alexi deserves!

…and now we are four. I can’t believe I am trying to care for 2 dogs, 1 puppy and almost 2 acres of property and a house. I am not doing any of it well. But I am trying my best.
The puppy is happy if not healthy. She has tape worms and mange. All of the dogs are being treated for both. To watch Gracie and Alexi (beagle mix puppy) play is a joy to behold. The newest game is puppy hiding under the bed and biting out at Gracie — both are very vocal. Petey and I are used to a quiet life, so vocalizations are new.
And it is August, so it is hot. Could be worse hot, but nonetheless, hot.

There were lots of things I was thinking of doing today. Go to Ft. Sam and put flowers on dad’s grave, enjoy the dog show, plant at the subdivision entrance. The problem with being creative is that you can think of so many things to do with your time and they don’t all fit in a day. And so after 3 1/2 hours at the Animal Hospital last night we are at home doing not much.
Petey came in on 3 legs after his last trip outside and so I thought the worst, snake bite, so we hustled down to the hospital. By the time we got there, he was putting some weight on the foot and there was no swelling. Whew. After a baking soda poultice for 20 minutes he was better. We came home and he took two Benadryl. One too many, I think. Today he is really out of it. Gracie is still with us and in doggie day camp today. My instructions were, “Please wear her out.”

Who knew a lttle four-footed creature could so fill up a house? Yes, Gracie is still here. Petey is in his forth day of incarceration. Daily visits seem to calm him, but no touching allowed. Four more days…

I visited my jail-bird for the 2nd day since incarceration. A bit fewer curse words thrown in my direction, but, nonetheless upset at my out-here-ness and his in-here-ness. Next Thursday morning is dedicated to getting the sweetie out of Animal Care jail. Wish they separated the viscious biters from the fear biters. I am sure the ones who have been bitten do not give a damn…

Gracie after a long day in doggie day camp

The vet said only one of the four is suspicious looking. So I am living with a very unhappy camper wearing a less than lovely E-collar. And Gracie, if she could talk, would be saying in a high-pitched, snarky voice “Why are you wearing that funny hat with the hole in the front?”

If looks could kill.
A picture is worth a thousand words… we’re still looking for that perfect, loving home. Hopefully with kids and/or other dogs for this playful, lovely dog.
