#FlashbackFriday to our babies singing their hearts out ❤️ they’re all just too precious for words
Luv to watch Sophie play ♡
Discovering how to have fun again ♡
Sophie playing is a treat to see.
A few updates:
Below is Rosie in her foster home. She’s doing so well!
Mini max has been at the vet since Friday. They discovered a large abscess behind her ear they they think might be a spider bite.
The house is being gutted and dried out. It will be 2-4 months before we can move back in. The small trailer i am in is a tight fit with all the pups. But they are being so good. Toughest part is when i have to travel home. The dogs have to be crated for such a long time. Yesterday i had to meet with flood insurance agent. She was very late. Poor pups were crated for seven hours. That may not be too bad for some but mine are only crated for short runs to grocery etc. i suppose it hurts me more than them. They all survived!

Hunnie went for the Medvet oncology evaluation. The type of cancer she has is very rare. In fact, the oncologist said she had never treated this condition but was very knowledgeable about it. Pathology report showed clean edges on the tumors but this type is known to readily invade the lympatic system.
She had more blood work, x-rays and an ultrasound. There is no evidence of metastasis at this time but needs to be followed closely. She will be going in monthly with Kobe for a few months. We discussed the probability of chemo therapy if needed.
Mattie was worse so took another run to BR vet. She receieved a shot of Lasix and Torbugesic for the cough. My vet was able to get her in on the emergency cardic schedule for Monday.
These double trips are tough. I am located just about in the middle of Medvet in Mandeville and my vet in Baton Rouge. Each is about a 2 hour round trip just in travel. It's so hard to keep up with the household chores and daily care while having to run this much. It would be wonderful to have a few clones (LOL), or at least a person dedicated to transport for me!
We were also blessed to get a "sponsor" for Itsy Bitsy's care. She came by to visit the rescue and meet the babies between those two visits. She brought along some much needed items such as bleach, paper towels, potty pads, bandages, etc, etc. It was a short but very nice visit.
It's an adventure every time they enter the secondary yard
I was able to bring Bonnie home on Friday. We are going to leave the sutures in for a full two weeks. She is very frustrated with the cone and with being crated. I fell very badly for her.
enjoying the beautiful weather
A little afternoon delight...it was so beautiful outside
Daisy was so depleted and quiet when she got here. Now she does not want to be in her soft sided crate. She wants to be out with the big guys. She is not bothered by any of those and just prances around like she owns the place!
We are a small 501c3 rescue dedicated to caring for elder, handicapped and hospice dogs (most from high kill shelters). Located in Hammond, LA
