GOAL MET. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has donated. ♥️. Brownie doesn’t know it yet but he’s getting a dental on Friday. I tried so hard to make it not so. He’s so little. But he needs it. What teeth he has left are lose and covered in tartar. There is also a hole in his upper where a canine fell out. With bloodwork and the dental the cost will be around $450. If Brownie touches your heart and if you can, please help us with this expense. All donations are tax deductible and will help Brownie get healthier.

One more tidbit of news this week. We took Layla for acupuncture with Dr. Tacia on Thursday. We wanted to help Layla with the arthritis in her back end. And like a champ she is already getting around much better. Layla had spinal surgery when she was six so she’s probably more susceptible to back, leg and hind end issues. I just wish I had taken her sooner. Layla is now 16 1/2 years old.

We had a new ramp put in last week and it’s gorgeous and perfect. JPM came out and took care of it for us. Highly recommend if anyone local needs handyman services. Contact Joe.

We lost Heman today. His kidneys were failing and his heart was failing. Heman had been with us for the last twelve years. He was with another rescue but bit the founder of that rescue in the face at his first adoption event soooo he came here to live out his life. He was definitely a HEMAN. Didn’t like to be picked up or petted. Peed on everything. Ruled the roost on his terms. One of a kind. We miss his feisty independent little self already. We love you He forever. And again a huge thank you to Prince Frederick Animal Hospital for fitting us in this morning.

We lost Softie today. She was good yesterday and today in really bad shape. Softie was a product of the very first Clear the Shelters…2015. She was adopted for free from the Charles County Humane Society and quickly put on a FB yardsale site for $200. I grabbed her up. Softie was a quiet and kind little dog. Never ever one bit of trouble and she always gave way to the other dogs…it was her sweet personality. Today came as quite a shock. Thank you to Prince Frederick Animal Hospital who saw her within a few hours of my call. Softie was blind. She was with us for nine years. She will be greatly missed.

Pudge … the happiest little critter dog on the planet. Always on the move checking things out. Tail always wagging. Happy for his meals, his soft bed, heat in the winter and AC in the summer. Easy to please.

We had a scare with Hoff Saturday evening. Of course it’s always at night and the weekend. He was vomiting and had diarrhea. Knowing dehydration would quickly be a big issue we loaded him in the car and headed to White Oak Veterinary Urgent Care. His bloodwork was perfect thank goodness. Subq fluids and a cerenia injection and we headed home and by Sunday evening he was back to normal. We are so so so lucky to have White Oak Veterinary Urgent Care local to us. Dr. Becker is fabulous. It’s not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Any local followers keep them in mind should you have an emergency with one of your animals. They are really great in the service they provide.
