We got a foster dog

[mugsy]

Liz,

Sometimes there is a lot of traffic, but most times not really. It's in a really crappy part of town so people don't want to go there. Right now there are a lot of puppies available...there are 2 litters of 5 each that just became available this week, so who knows how long they will have him. Mike said he didn't understand when they took him today...I'm glad I was gone. I guess they apologized all over themselves for making me think that we were bad pet owners...too late!! Unfortunately, I have the quick Irish temper and the slow German burn, so I anger quickly and don't soon forget...one of my faults (a major one at that). Thanks for being interested.

Mugsy, I was so sad to read your last post. You and Mike know in your hearts the incredible love and caring, the special home you give to these babies in need. Please remeber that! We know how special you are! I'm just sorry you had to give up Bailey. I'm sure he had come to love you both already, and they manner in which he was taken away must have hurt terribly. Try to focus on all those precious creatures who are probably licking you to death right now, and needing you SO much!! You are a very special person! Love, Sandra

[mugsy]

Thanks Sandra...that means a lot to me. I hope that Bailey gets adopted quickly...he certainly is cute enough. Mike said I should cut them some slack, and we'll see, but I don't know that I can ever get over it. On the bright side, Smokey got neutered today and did great and is home and running around having a great time, and is he ever clingy!!! lol

You give that Smokster lots of extra kisses and hugs from me, Cody and Star! Good job, Smokey Man!!! You've got a wonderful Mommy there; and Daddy! Somehow, I just know you're giving him lots of lovin, right now Mugsy! Love to you and Mike and your very beautiful FurFamilyExtraordinaire!! Sandra and the Furkids.

Mugsy,

I'm so happy that Bailey came through his surgery
O.K. I'll bet that little guy is soooo glad to back with
Mom & family. Give Bailey and all the other furkids a
hug & kiss from me. (I realize this might take awhile)
LOL , but the ones you don't hug tonight, you can still
hug tomorrow... Bless you & Mike for being there for
your Special Furkids... All the best, Liz & Buddy.

Liz,

Unfortunately, we don't have Bailey back but Smokey was REALLY glad to see me when I went to Dr. B's office this evening to pick him up...he was so happy he didn't even notice the big Lab/Chow mix named King and the baby goat named Princess that were in the waiting room when I took him out!! lol

Sorry Mugsy,

Guess that's what you call a Freudian slip.

I meant Smokey, but I think you know that.

Hey, I only have the Bud Miester to remember when
I call. Liz & Buddy.

[mugsy]

I figured you did liz, but wanted to make sure...and yes, it does get confusing sometimes...you know how parents go through the whole list of kids when they yell at someone? Well, that's how it goes in our house when one of the dogs does something wrong!! hehehehe And, I'm rather disappointed that you didn't make mention of the fact that there was a goat in the vet's office!! lol

[lizbud]

Mugsy,

Our Vet Tech brings her goat in the back way when
she visits the Vets office, so as not to get all the dogs
in the waiting room barking at the same time. LOL.
She also has horses,pigs,chickens,a cow, 2 dogs, many
cats, and assorted other farm critters. No, they all don't
come in at the same time. LOL. So what was the goat
doing at the Vets office ? A patient or just visiting? Liz.

Mugsy,

I am sorry about the situation with Bailey, but please don't stop helping the shelter because of it. Well.. please don't stop helping the critters in need. Of course I know you would never turn your back on them anyway, so what am I saying?

So, how many are you up to now?

[Gio]

the SPCA called today and they're coming to pick him up tomorrow because they seem to think we're not taking good enough care of him.

I can understand why you were upset when you heard this. Only the thought that someone would even suggest that I don't take care or love mine enough would make my blood boil. Obviously these people don't know you at all.

I'm pleased that Smokey's fine after his op. He sounds more adorable by the day, please give him (and the rest of the gang, we don't want anyone to get jealous, do we ) a huge hug from me.

[mugsy]

Thanks guys for all your support. I guess it was the board's decision, but I'm not going to go back for awhile aly, but I would never stop looking out for the good of poochies in need. Liz, Princess the goat had a booboo on her foot, so she was a patient. Dr. B is a farm vet so one never knows what's going to come through the doors next. One time I was in there and someone brought in a newborn reindeer. Was he cute!!! They were concerned that he wasn't going to live, but Dr B worked his magic again and he is fine. My friend raises llamas and he treats them too. He does a lot with 4H. Smokey is already back to his old self and I had to bribe him to come in this morning!!!

Mugsy, Sorry to hear you no longer have Bailey. I don't understand some people's reasoning. You gave him loves and that might just help him get a home again. You & Mike have done so much for homeless dogs.
