It is Friday already???

I just realized it is Friday and I haven't written all week. GEEZ!

Well I got a male JRT on Wednesday, a REALLY old Rat Terrier yesterday... he looks horrible, skinny, no teeth, poor dog.

I am working my butt off trying to save these three dogs in shelters. Just not enough hours in the day. I am seriously thinking of just taking Monday off work or taking a half day to go save them. I wonder how much vacation time I have left.

I am doing an adoption event on Saturday so we will see how that goes. Maybe I will get some adopted and if that happens that I will seriously consider taking 1/2 day on Monday to go save at least 3 dogs... 1 in Norwalk, 1 in Mansfield, 1 in Bucyrus...

The adoptions that I had over the weekend are going ok. Midget's family just loves her, Robin's mom renamed her Lucy and she is doing well, according to Valerie (a friend of Bob who took Missy home to foster to adopt) Bob just LOVES Missy and she is doing really well with Clyde (who use to be Peter).

Dorothy who was adopted the weekend before is doing well in her family and they have signed her up for training classes.

Boots on the other hand is not being a good girl.... I really hope she straightens out. I talked to her foster home and the people that had adopted her before... they both said the same thing, they didn't have any issues with her but had her on a routine. I am thinking that Boots is just so happy to be with Camp that she isn't paying attention. I really hope she figures it out.

Juno left go to a foster home on Tuesday. That foster home is really good and Juno need some exposure to different people. She is so shy.

Casper left for a foster home last night. Casper is one of the ones I was able to save on Friday along with Spencer. They are going to bring him over Saturday morning so he can go to the adoption event.

I have another person who might be interested in fostering.... just waiting to hear back. Hopefully that will work out.

So, living at my house right now is:
Regal
Spencer
Oakly - the old guy I got last night
Theo - the dog I got Wed.
Malcolm
Muppet
Wolfie
Razzel
Munch

Plus of course my 2 JRT's and my 2 big dogs.

I guess that isn't too bad. Let's hope that I get at least 1 or 2 adopted tomorrow. Oh that would be so awesome!!!!!!!!

Paws crossed for Boots! She is my only concern, everything else is going ok.

Beanie update

Beanie is a dog that I adopted out almost 2 years ago now. Here is the latest update on him:

I just had to let you know that Beanie got his first AKC agility title this weekend! He now has his NAJ which is his Novice Agility Jumpers title. We also got two qualifying scores towards his Novice Standard title and only need one more qualifying run to get his NA Novice Agility title! Our next competition is November 15th up in Columbus . I can’t tell you how many people stop me at trials and tell me how much they enjoy watching Beanie run. His enthusiasm is priceless!

I sent you some pictures from our October trial. The first one is Beanie warming up with his favorite toy. I can toss that ball a hundred times! The second one shows you how excited Beanie is about agility – he whines at the gate ready to go in. The last one shows Beanie on the table which in the middle of his fast run he has to stop at the table and either do a sit or down for 5 seconds and wait for the judge to say go.

Talk to you later,

Kim

What to do next...

Well Boots was picked up today by Camp's family. Oh I am just so happy for Boots. Camp is fine without his sister but Boots really isn't ok without Camp. I just can't imagine why it wouldn't work out. I think Boots family is a little worried about what it is going to be like with two dogs and are going to let me know next Sunday if they are for sure going to keep Boots. I am sure it will work... seriously if it doesn't work then I need to stop doing dog rescue because I suck.

All paws crossed that it works out.

Funny thing is I have two applications on Boots. I am going to reach out to them tomorrow. Maybe they will be interested in seeing someone else.

So, Regal didn't work out with that family that took her last week. She was getting way to dominate with the younger boy. I just don't know what to do with that dog. She needs a farm like mine where she can just run and run and play. UGH! Where am I going to find that? I just can't adopt her out to a city type home again. Doing that is just setting her up for failure. I am so torn with this little girl. She is no problem at my house at all. I can't keep another dog, for geez sake. I wonder if the guy who has skipper would want Regal. She loves car rides which Skipper doesn't like and that was the only thing that bothered him about Skipper... well I guess the fact that Skipper is kind of a wimp. UGH! I don't know.......

I can't adopt out Regal again and just set her up for another bounce back to me. I am so lost.

Oh so Bruno got adopted yesterday. Hopefully it works out for Bruno. She was a referral from someone that already has one of my dogs and is fostering to adopt little Missy right now.

Over all it was a good weekend just worried about Regal and what I should do.

Juggling almost complete

Casper and Spencer arrived last night. OMG they are even cuter then the pictures. Especially Casper, he is so tiny!! They both have kennel cough and FULL of worms but I started them on medicine last night so we should be good in a week or so.

Robin went to her forever home last night and the lady LOVES her. I think I love the lady. She is so freaking cute.

Sassy left for her foster home today. Hopefully all goes well with that.

Midget is getting adopted at 1pm.

Missy is going to a foster to adopt home. The home already has one of my little boys from Feb. of this year.

I got a call last night from the family that has Camp. OH I AM SO EXCITED!! They said they are going to pick Boots up Sunday night and foster to adopt her. I know it is going to work, they are little nervous about what it will be like with two dogs but they are seriously not even going to notice Boots. Camp is way more work then Boots and really he isn't much work either.. LOL! Seriously those two dogs are just the best. I know their owner went to jail but he did a good job with those two dogs. If I could clone them I would 100 times over.

Juno is going to get picked up on Tuesday night to be fostered. That is going to be great for Juno. She needs the one on one attention and to be a little more socialized.

Muppet and Casper are going to go to get neutered Monday morning and the two girls that I am holding on to for another rescue are going Monday night to get Spayed. The girls I will not get back for more then a day or so after their spay. And of course Muppet and Casper will come home Thursday night to stay till they get adopted.

My other foster home is leaving for vacation tomorrow but will be back by the weekend so they are going to take someone to foster. I don't know who yet but maybe Bruno if he doesn't get adopted before then.

Rose who is in foster care has a great application on her so we will see how that turns out.

YAY!!! I am so excited. After the crappy beginning of the month I had this is turning out pretty good.

Rescue full of UPS and full of DOWNS. I am just glad I am on an up swing.. LOL!!

Juggling dogs.

So, I am getting two new dogs tomorrow from Logan County Pound... Spencer and Casper.

Aren't they cute?

In order to get these dogs I had to some serious juggling.

Midget is getting adopted at 1pm on Saturday.

Robing is getting adopted at 11am on Saturday

Missy is leaving for a foster home to potential adopt home at 1pm Saturday.

Sassy is going to a foster home at 10am Saturday with our new foster home Judi. YAY JUDI!!

Juno is going to a foster home on Tuesday.

Muppet, Casper and Spencer are all going to the clinic on Monday and are there till Thursday.

Yea, so that is my juggling... LOL!!

Confused yet? Yea, well try figuring all this out.. LOL!!

So, where does that leave me? At my house after Tuesday will be Boots, Malcolm, Munch, Wolfie, Bruno and Razzel.

Thursday will be interesting because if transport runs I am getting 2 more JRT's and I will be picking up Muppet, Casper and Spencer from the clinic. UGH! DOGS DOGS EVERYWHERE... LOL!!

Giving the dog away for free.....

Last night at around 6:30 I received a voice mail from an older lady named Phyllis. Her dog passed away and she was looking for another dog. She had gotten my phone number from the vet office.

We all know older people and how they can talk so I didn't call her back right away as I had a lot going on last night. By the way looks like Midget is getting a home on Saturday :-)

I called her back around 8:30pm. I talked to her for a little while and suggested a dog named Robin for her. A 7 year old JRT mix who is housebroken, walks well on a leash and loves to snuggle. Phyllis then asked me how much would it cost. I told her $100 for Robin. She said "Oh ok. Well I will have to wait till I get my social security check."

OMG! I thought NO WAY! That just totally broke my heart. I said don't worry about it, if you like Robin she is yours.

I called her back today and asked her what she had for the dog. She said she has bowls, toys, leash and collar. I am going to buy a dog bed, food and get her a tag and take the dog over there on Saturday.

I also asked her if she has any family in the area. She said her son is in Texas but her daughter in in Elyria. So, I got her daughters number and spoke with her today to make sure that her mom getting a dog was OK. Sue, the daughter said it was fine. Her mom is very lonely and she needs a dog to keep her company. I gave Sue all my contact information so that if anything ever happens or she needs anything concerning the dog to call me. Also, let her know that I do want my dog back if for some reason her mom can no longer keep the dog.

So, I am going over there on Saturday around 11am with Robin.
