Lastest On Snoopy Update #10

Kay: One good thing is Science Diet has on their website coupons. I've been getting $7 off a bag so far. You cant print a bunch at one time there has to be time period of couple weeks in-between. So far, it's working out that I can get the 18 lb bag for reasonable price.

Thanks everyone for the condolences. Each day gets little better. In the spring we are going to have a "Celebration of Life Service". I live in KY, my aunt (lives in Florida). Our weather has been the pits (lots of snow). My sister/bil and close couple (friends of family) did the private burial service in NE Ohio. It was neat, we had two cell phones sitting on podium so both myself/hubby and my aunt could hear the service.

Becky, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I'm also sorry to hear about poor Snoopy. I hope that his new diet and meds will continue to help him. I'm glad to hear that you have pet insurance and it helped you out with his expenses. I'll keep Snoopy in my thoughts and prayers.

His anxiety issues are getting better and medicating has decreased. Leaving him in living room with t.v. on and toys without his brother has helped. Still attacking mini blinds to see outside so for now we arent putting them back up. Curtains are doing just fine at the window.

I took both dogs to the groomer's on Friday for a "spa day" they sure enjoyed themselves. I found out who was Snoopy's owner before we adopted him. No wonder he as anxiety issues. He was kept in a locked garage with no human contact because he tore things up and the owner had him since he was 6 to 8 weeks old. Dropped him off somewhere and another person brought him to the "drop off" cages at the shelter that they were using for after hours.

Needless to say, I have meet the women, much to my surprise. She used to work at the groomers. She never let on that she knew Snoopy. Our last visit in December the gal told the groomer for the first time.

The dog's groomer is so happy Snoopy is in our home and doing so well.

I just read your post that Snoopy is getting better and not on as much meds. As you said, no wonder he has anxiety issues considering he was kept in a garage a long time and then to a shelter. I'm assuming he could not see out and that's why now he has the need to look out the window to the outside. He can't stand the feeling of being closed in. That poor dog has been through hell; thank goodness, he has a good home now with patient caring people. You're doing a great job with Snoopy. Probably each day he feels a little bit better & a tiny bit of the anxiety goes away. Keep us posted. Kay in NC

Snoopy, I just heard about what your life was like before Becky took you to her home. I am all teary thinking of a wee puppy stuck alone in a garage (I know, could be worse). That is SO UNFAIR! Now you have someone who loves you and cares about you. You are learning about life as a spoiled PT pup! It is going to take some time, but Becky is willing to work with you, so you are going to be OK!

Becky, WOW! All this time, you thought it was because he'd been in a cage at the shelter for 4 months. Poor guy, missed his puppy hood. As he learns to relax and trust in you, he will find his puppy spirit. That is what happened w/ Tasha, my puppy mill rescue. It is so heart warming to watch them grow and develop into the dogs they were meant to be.

Was that woman ever prosecuted? I have some thoughts as to what her punishment should be, but we can't post that sort of thing on PT.

No legal action could be taken. It's just one stupid owner that didn't care about poor Snoopy. However, her other 4 shituz's (spell?) were treated like royalty and had run of the house.

No legal action could be taken.

That is SO wrong.

What "Wan Wan" said. You got each other now, and will help each other with

Yay, Snoopy, I am so glad you are doing better!

I'm glad mom has more information about your history, and that she is helping you adjust to your new home! Everything will be all right .

I was thinking about buying the Kroger pet insurance for Tip. I think I started a thread asking about it a couple of months ago. Which plan did you go with the accident & illness or the comprehensive?

[wanwan1007]

Wow you have gone through a lot and so has poor Snoopy. Thank God you have each other to help ease the hurts. I'm very glad to hear that Snoopy is getting better. Sad to think that someone who works with animals would treat one so bad. At least you have a better understanding of his history and hopefully it will give you insight in helping him grow into the healthy and happy dog he was meant to be.
