Please welcome Pirate to the Pack....New pic in #35

[Cinder & Smoke]

Tamara, I think you're the one ending up with the real treasure - Pirate!

I pray I am blessed with people like you who'll respect & care so much about me
when I'm old-but-not-quite-ready-to-go, too!

Not holding out too much hope, though - You're one in a million!

DITTO!!

Pirate got the GOOD Deal here ...

Wish I could slip into a Husky costume and move in myself.

I'll try to *fluff* Cinder's Tail and teach her to *curl* it ...
SmokeMutt's gonna be a problemo, though --- no Furr to *fluff*!
Guess we'll need TWO Husky costumes.

Leave the Light ON, please.

[Suki Wingy]

You are such a good person. Any old dog would be mighty lucky to end up in your loving care.

[K9karen]

I want to be reincarnated as one of your dogs, too, Tamara.

You are an angel on earth. The mold was thrown away when you were born.

[CountryWolf07]

You are a wonderful individual. Welcome home, Pirate! =)

[Catty1]

It's maybe too much to hope that Pirate's vet exam may show some neglect or build-up in the ears that might be treated to give her a bit of hearing.

What a sweetheart! I can hardly wait to see her bloom with your love and care!

Pirate you are a Beauty!!!! This is just wonderful you having a new home and with such a wonderful mom!!!!! What a sad story and how horrible those people are, that kind of stuff just makes me so mad. Thank you for being the kind soul that you are.

[Glacier]

Thanks everyone. She's a sweet old soul. I am not the amazing one around here. The dogs are the amazing ones. I am constantly stunned by their ability to forgive, try again and live in the moment!

I fed Pirate in the shop tonight and then I decided to make some beads. She's definately deaf--my oxygen concentrator squeals when I start it and she didn't react at all! Even the dogs who are used to that sound jump when I turn it on!

When I checked on Pirate I saw this:

She was out like a light! Didn't take long to find the comfy dog bed!

There was some definate urine leakage when she got up from her nap. She tried to get away from me when she got up. Just broke my heart to see her so scared! She's clearly been yelled at or something for that before. I just rubbed her ears, let her outside and put the bed in the washing machine. She'll learn that she doesn't get in trouble for what she can't control around here and hopefully, after her vet app't she will be able to get better control.

She didn't have any trouble with the lino tonight and went straight to her crate when she came inside! That denning instinct is one of the things I love about huskies, makes them so easy to crate train!

Tamara,
I have LES of JOY looking at this pic.



She looks so peaceful. Thank you again for taking her in.

Karma Baby, Karma :-)

Hey Pirate - welcome to your new home. You have certainly landed on your paws there sweetheart

[Animalhouse26]

Your AMAZING for all you do for the dogs. And this poor girl I feel awful for what she had been through! And I am sooo glad she ended up with you! She will have a happy life now.. even if it isn't for a long time! Good for you!

[finn's mom]

She sure knows how to enjoy a good bed. Is she all white except her ears and that little bit by her mouth?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Any old dog would be mighty lucky to end up in your loving care

Woof!

[Glacier]

Is she all white except her ears and that little bit by her mouth?

Yup, she just has the two grey splotches over her ears and a black muzzle, with the cutest snow nose!

[lizbud]

I came back for another peek at Pirate. The shot of her in the dog bed
is so sweet. I'll bet she loved it, poor baby. Best of luck tomorrow at the
Vet checkup. I'll be anxious to hear what the Vet thinks about her.

I want to be reincarnated as one of your dogs, too, Tamara.

I do, too! (Does the ability to carry a tune translate into the ability to go, "Arooooo!" in the next life? I hope so!)

I am just here looking at the photo in #37 again - it's making my eyes leak!
