5 Border Collie Puppies

The shelter called earlier..a lady had brought in a plastic bag she had found on the road. She picked up the bag because noticed it was moving.

Inside: 5 newborn Border Collie Pups.



Took Honey to the vet today. She's heartworm negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so worried that she'd be positive too!

She got her rabies shot, got checked out, but besides an ear infection she's alright! Ready to get spayed soon!

Now that I have the 5 border collies, I don't think I can get Josie fixed nor will I be able to keep her any longer. I have to let at least one of the dogs go, and Josie is up next.

She has all her shots and preventions, is de-wormed, all that's missing is getting her spayed. She has such a sweet personality, I will put her into the shelter during the day at least, starting next week. Hopefully somebody falls in love with her and adopts her and gets her fixed!

Olivia is starting her heartworm treatment this Monday.

Lotsa dog business lately huh?? I love it!

Not the circumstances on how the dogs got here, but the fact that I can actually make a difference

Olivia, day 28

Olivia was weighed today at the Animal Health and Medical Clinic, and is up to 107 lbs now, meaning that's enough weight to start her heartworm treatment this coming monday.

Josie and Puppies

Here is an update on Josie:

her leg appears to be totally healed..she runs with the biggens full power, gets run over, rolls in the dirt, gets stepped on, plays totally rough and she has not been lame in a full month.

She has her rabies shot, all puppy shots, is de-wormed, and will be spayed in 2 weeks. Then she's ready for a new home . I don't think I even have to mention the injury, because that might lower her chances of being adopted at all. We'll see.

Honey, Butters, Olivia, Josie, and the rest of the pack

2 more puppies were adopted out yesterday, instead of Honey plus 1, so Honey will stay with us. Look at Butters' celebration!! We are all very happy. The other good news is that the adoptive parents of the 2 puppies offered to have Honey spayed as soon as she is ready for that, so this will be a HUUUUGE help!

The remaining 3 pups and Honey got their 8 in 1 vaccination today and I will take Honey in for her rabies shot next week and have her heartworm tested. I hope she turns up negative. One heartworm treatment (for Olivia) is more than enough!
