I might get a new foster tomorrow!!!!!!!

I would foster them if I wasn't busy trying to catch my own three bundles of fluff. (See General Board)

Give the babies and Peka a hug for me.

Sooooooomebody stop me!!!!!!!

I got an email in my poodle rescue group from someone in my area in desperate need to get rid of their dog or they will have their vet euthanize her. So of course, I am going to pick up the dog this weekend. I am almost positive my work can take her in though cause she's only 11 pounds. I am going to call right now to be sure. The last thing I need right now is another foster in the apartment,

OHHHHHHH, Peka is doing SO GOOD today!!! When I got home from work this morning, she started JUMPING excited to see me. She jumped up and down!!! Its a miracle because she's barely been able to walk. She's a happy girl with energy today. She's awake right now walking around my room doing stuff. Before all she'd do was sleep and only wake up to throw up

The people who wanted her are having some medical problems with their cat and will probably have to put him to sleep soon so they have to hold off on her. I feel bad for them

I'm working with the Foster Care Coordinater at the shelter and we'll probably cycle her through some foster homes. I am way attached to her but I just can't keep her permanently while I live here. I keep looking for new places though.

Sorry I keep yacking

But Peka had 4 major breakthroughs tonight. I mentioned today was a really good day for her energy wise, well when I got to work with her, we went in the gate and I had her off leash once we got into the yard and I locked the gate behind me. She was walking around and did her business, then she all of a sudden took off RUNNING, yes my little granny dog was actually running. She ran right to me and started running circles around me. She got tired pretty quickly but I was SO HAPPY and shocked and amazed. I really didn't think she had that in her.

I started to walk inside to put my stuff down, then I was going to come back out to get her. She came bounding after me though and even leaped up the 7 steps

I was so happy, I just started laughing. I couldn't believe it.

Then later on, she actually play bowed a bunch of times to me and kept pouncing on my hands

She wasn't exactly moving around like a young dog, but for her age she was sooo energetic. I was bursting with proudness and telling everybody what she did.

When we were leaving, I was putting her blanket on the seat and getting ready to put her in the car. I turned around to pick her up, and she wooshed between my legs and JUMPED IN THE CAR BY HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, this one was beyond belief. The dog can barely hear or see and she was doing all this. She's so happy now. I'm reallllllly happy. I had no idea she'd be making this kind of progress.

Yay Peka! There's spunk in that old girl yet! Now that she knows there's hope for her, she had to show you she can still strut her stuff - bouncety bouncety fun old girl!

**Sudilar** · 11-01-2002, 12:04 AM

Wow!! That is fantastic! She is truly happy and you made it happen, aly. Congrats to you and Peka!!

**wolf_Q** · 11-01-2002, 02:27 AM

That's amazing!!

I'm so happy for Peka!

Poodles really do keep their spunk in their old age! Smokey is 16...also sleeps most of the time.......but when he's really happy, that dog can RUN! He also really enjoys leaping clear up the steps to our deck no problem, and will leap right into a car also!

Sometimes I think he can run faster then Reggie, who is half his age!

YEAH PEKA!!! You are doing so much for her Aly! No wonder she is happy!!! It is always great to see the senior dogs enjoying life. My Oreo just turned 13 and it is so great when she gets to go to the dog park and run...have seen that engry our of her since she was just a baby!!!

**aly** · 11-02-2002, 12:29 PM

A sweet, wonderful wonderful wonderful person took my kitties today. She's going to take care of them until they are 8 weeks then she'll keep one and the other will be put up for adoption at my shelter

It worked out very nicely. They are in GREAT hands. She is at the vet with them right now and refused to take any money from me. She's a volunteer at my work and she's so great with the animals. They all love her and I love her too!!

**aly** · 12-02-2002, 12:59 AM

I just thought I'd post some new pics of the kitties. The girl ended up not being able to keep one but she kept great care of them. They both tested NEGATIVE for feline leukemia.. YAY! They are up for adoption at my work now and having fun playing with 3 other kitty friends. My friend named them Idgee and Jolie.

**Uabassoon** · 12-02-2002, 01:04 AM

The kittens are so cute. I hope they get adopted soon.

**shais_mom** · 12-02-2002, 01:05 AM

HOW CUTE! I am so glad they are doing well!!!

**ramanth** · 12-02-2002, 08:21 AM

Oh goodness!!! How adorable!!! They look just like my Onneka baby!

**Cincy'sMom** · 12-02-2002, 07:14 PM

They are too cute!!! Just adorable!!

**aly** · 12-19-2002, 03:19 PM

I'm so upset right now. I just got a call that something is wrong with Jolie

They think she has neurological problems. I don't know what is going to happen

**aly** · 12-19-2002, 05:04 PM

Just got word from the vet. Turns out is a concussion and she should be okay. She's going to my friend's house tomorrow to recover. PHEW thank God.
