Hi TM
Yes l picked up Katie today. Her lovely owner had tied a deep rose pink bow around her neck. She looked adorable.
I have the email of her owners and will be keeping in touch with her on a regular basis. Apart from the fact that the Mum is about 20 years younger than me - she is exactly like me when it comes to dogs. Her 2 little boys are booked into the vets for neutering next week as e this litter was a suprise for her owners!
I have posted in Dog chat with an SOS as ; thought l had got it covered with meeting the dogs up but both pups are not keen and Schmoo even snapped at her. Ironically my 12 year old has taken her in his stride.
I am on a bit of a downer at the moment. I think now that the dogs will be picking up from me that l am tense. She is so Tiny her tail is not even 3 inches long. She is like a chunky little kitten! i could'nt believe that Schmoo snapped like that - he is always the subserviant dog.
I just hope things work out alright. Annoyingly the other receptionist is not coming back to work for at least another week!
That means that l am out all day for the third week on the trot. I was planning this week to try and settle Katie in and get back to some training with the mutts. Also the house looks a tip! I managed to get my sittiing room done while the dogs played in the garden and Katie slept in her cage, but my usual method of house work is too move stuff from one room to another! Tommorow the porch, bottom hall and stairs and top hall.
I hope you have a lovely time with your DD and your guests coming over. Has Tootsie sicked up what she ate? I remember when l took in my rescued GSD we had to be careful about what he ate. He weighed in at 56lbs which is shocking for such a large GSD. You could feel his bones on his back and when he scratched under his front leg - l swear we could hear him hit every one of his rib bones.
Well we took him out for a short walk as he was starting to recover only to find that he ran straight into the long grass and started eating something. You could'nt blame him after he had been starved. By the time we had got to him he had devoured most of the left overs of a KFC box that some moron had thrown out of his car while passing through the village. I can tell you l was so worried about those chicken bones but amazingly he passed them ok. His digestion system was alway dodgy so how he managed to survive that is a miracle in itself.
Anyway l do hope she is ok and that you are feeling better after your cold. Wish me luck with the mutts!
