Suzette came by the shop to meet the babies and went ahead and took their official introduction pictures!! We thought everyone could use an AWWWWW moment!! So ladies and gentlemen we’d like to introduce O, P and Q of our Alphabet Soup!!

Thank you to everyone who came out today to lend a hand to help us get started getting things cleaned up!! Geralyn, Anne, Margaret, Hedy, Chris, Mercher and Cindy worked hard most of the day!! All of the debris was raked and bagged up out of the 26 “playpens” outside, all the water buckets were gathered up, washed out, filled up with fresh water and placed back in their respective places, what seemed like a gazillion pounds of wet dirt/sand was shoveled of the concrete under the covering that had been “washed” away and the biggest thing is a lot of the tree was cut away and gotten in the dumpster!! Still a lot more to do but for the first day after Francine’s visit it was a lot!! The “tree” that fell and caused all the damage was actually just a HUGE branch. The damn tree is still standing….for now but it is rotting and dying so it will also have to be removed because it is 30 or 40’ foot tall and will also blow over eventually!!
Thank you again for all your help!! Hopefully the next round will be as productive!! Will let y’all know when Round 2 will happen because we need all the help we can get!!

09/12/2024

Finally had time to take better pictures. Landlords have texted they will be here on Saturday to assess the damage and tell me what they are willing to do since there is no insurance😫😫😫😫

Fresh bedding and now it’s nap time

09/12/2024

I got here at 6:45 and checked on Mama Josie and she has no babies. Just walked back in and she surprised me!! O, P and Q are here!!

09/12/2024

Thanks Francine!!! 😫😢😫😢😫😢

Morning Dogdom!! We made it through Francine’s unwanted visit!!
Hope the worst that happened to everyone is no power!! I’ll be getting to the shop early to see what is what. I know at the 10:00 update from Bill last night that we still had power, still had a roof and Josie hadn’t delivered her three babies!!

09/11/2024

Hope everyone is hunkered down because it seems that Hurricane Francine is here!! I just got from the shop letting all the babies out to potty and to give meds and the rain was coming down!! Everything there is good just hoping the roof is there when Francine exits the area!! Y’all be safe!!

09/11/2024

As we all prepare for a visit from Francine we decided to postpone Alfredo for Fido until September 28 because of all the unknowns moving forward!! So mark your calendars, text your order and we will all gather to swap stories then!! Y’all be safe!!!

09/10/2024

Due to Hurricane Francine and her foolishness we have decided to postpone Alfredo for Fido!! The new date is September 28!!
Y’all be safe during all of the weather…whatever it maybe and we will see y’all on September 28!!!

09/10/2024

Thank you

09/10/2024

Thank you Ronda and Slim of Nash
A/C for fixing half the problem yesterday and the other half today!! Now if Francine doesn’t knock the power out we’re up and running!!

09/10/2024

Everyone be safe!! We are closed until after we assess after Francine’s exit from the area.

The Bento Boxes did great yesterday!!
They received their second set of vaccinations and are looking good!! Five of them will begin Meet & Greets soon!!

09/10/2024

Betty White’s wound is healing nicely and she is quickly wrapping Kristina and the entire staff around her little paw!! I think they may offer her a job!! Dr Zach is thrilled with her progress!!

09/10/2024

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared our post and loved all of our Alphabet Soup kids!!
Vet bills are starting to happen and they won’t stop for awhile!! Once Francine leaves the area we hope to be able to get the rest of them vetted!! Hopefully Josie will deliver O, P and Q with no problems, that we will add to our heartworm negative count and there are no unforeseen issues!!
Josie & Nelle have been vetted because we needed to do baby X-rays. Only 12 more to go!!

The different Honor positions in the Drive Thru at McDonald’s…
1. This line is soooo long I’m gonna take a nap.
2. Don’t forget my Chicky Nuggy’s
3. That’s them!!! I know my Chicky Nuggy’s are in there!!!

Obviously unbeknownst to me there is a Pawty in the medical wing!! I only found out about it on Saturday when the f***l results came in for the Alphabet Soup kids!! The guest list includes Hookworms, Roundworms and Tapeworms but then Whipworms decided to make a special appearance!! While all the worms in attendance were having fun wreaking havoc and causing issues Giardia crashed the Pawty for good measure!! I am shocked that Coccidia hasn’t showed up to join the fun but lots of time it’s fashionably late!! Likes to show up when I think we have dodged that bullet!! This is the medicine board for them for seven days…Metro is twice a day and Panacure is once!! Hopefully this will make all the unwanted guests leave the premises!!

As if we don’t have enough going on with FIFTY ONE dogs in house Francine is being indecisive about where she wants to visit so Storm Preparations have begun!! Thank you to Chris Bruno and John Vaughn for coming and taking all the sunshades down for us!! I go to Ark with 8 of the Bento Boxes for their second set of vaccines and to pick Butch up to come home and I get a phone call telling me the A/C is not working in the front building!! My response can not be put on here or I’m going under Facebook jail!! Ronda with Nash A/C will get Dr Slim here this afternoon to give me both a diagnosis and a treatment plan!!!

Thanks Francine!!! 😫😢😫😢😫😢

Vaccination time!!!!

This was taken and sent to me yesterday before Dr Robert left!! Look at our Butch!!! He hasn’t put the leg done since being hit by a car but is now!!!! You go boy!!

Forgot to post this yesterday but Butch’s appetite is good!!

Clarice is doing so well!!! Four days out!!!

Question—Who let the dogs out?!?!? Answer—Me!! Just call me Who!!!

Sushi and the kids were frisky today

The morning stampede is happening!! Clean floor, sheets and pee pads plus fresh food and water!! Let the chaos begin!!

Mama Sushi was excited to see her babies and they were excited to see her too!!! Noodles will reunite on with them later this week

The Bento Boxes have moved out of the Medical Wing and into quarantine with Mama Sushi but she is outside for potty time!!!

Time to pull two winners!!

It did record the entire thing!!

Just realized that the recording stopped after the kids were cutting up😫😫😫😫😫. So the other two winners were Desiree Villarejos and Patricia Russo. I do not have phone numbers for Kristi Schexnayer or Patricia Russo so if you are either of them please call me 504-458-0531 Three boards need three winners!!!

Sushi enjoying some time outside!! She is such a talker!!

Sushi is headed home!!! Everyone at Ark was so excited that she fought, fought hard and whipped Parvo’s a$$ they gave her a special send off!! Thank you to everyone….the staff, the vet techs and especially Dr Robert, his team and Dr Zach for giving our girl every chance they could to get to this day!! It is so hard to get a WIN against Parvo and we got TWO this time!! Sushi was so touch and go for about 48 hours that we didn’t know if this day would happen!! Ark’s hard work and the constant support y’all in our Dogdom put in encouraging her to fight just a little harder and a little longer got us to this day!! Thank you all for everything! This is a big day!!!

Sarah sent this from the 5:00 med and feeding time. Look at our girl!!! She has had a pawsome day!! Jen said she did well for her 9:00 feeding also. Ate some and tube feed some. Baby steps continue…today she may have started taking toddler steps!! That corner is getting closer!!!! C’mon Sushi keep pushing through you have almost won this fight!!!!

Sorry for the being so late but it’s been a busy day. Elana sent this clip when she went in this morning. I gave bad info this morning when I said the feeding tube had been removed because it can’t be removed until she is eating her entire caloric requirement. She said that Sushi was looking great and ate part of her breakfast but she did have to tube feed her also. No vomiting or bloody diarrhea either!! She blew her catheter so it will remain out unless something happens that warrants it being put back in.
