These adorable puppies were found in a plastic bag in a street. A passerby (thank you whoever you are!) noticed the bag moving, picked it up and found these newborn puppies inside.

5 weeks later the pups, 1 male and 3 females, have received their fist puppy shots and are de-wormed. If you live in the Stephenville, Texas, area and are interested in adopting one of the puppies, please click HERE.

Puppies and Olivia Updates

The 4 Border Collie Pups are nearly 5 weeks old. I printed out a flyer and took it to the shelter. Hopefully it will catch some doglovers' attention. Aren't they adorable???

And here is a picture of Olivia. She spends today at the Animal Health and Medical to receive medication in order to get rid of the heartworm larvae in her blood stream. The adult worms should be dead by now, if I understood that correctly.

Spaying is up next!

Momma Cat with 5 Newborns, first Kittens of the Year 2008

This momma cat just had her 5 babies at the shelter. It's not really the best place for a momma cat to be nursing her lil ones, so I decided to foster them, since my kitten cages are empty anyways.

The kittens are late this year. Usually I'm crowded with orphans at this time. Sometimes they come in end of January already. I'm not complaining though, I'm not getting bored!

Honey was spayed today!

Honey has been spayed today. The surgery went fine, vet just called. I will get her back tomorrow morning! Butters is running around and looking for her, is missing her already. And frankly, so am I. She's such a sunshine.

Olivia, Border Collie Puppies and the rest of the Gang

Well, the 2nd week of the heartworm treatment is almost over. I was told it's the most dangerous.

Olivia seems a little bit on the down side, since she can't act like a dog I guess, but she also sleeps a lot and is doing otherwise ok, so I'm not worried. The vet said that she might get a little depressed. So she gets some extra brushing (she loooves her soft bristle horse brush!! It shows in the shine, doesnt' it?) and TLC.



The pups are starting to run around now, falling all over themselves lol, and Honey doesn't take much care of them anymore. She does go in there a few times a day and still cleans them, but she won't lay down with them anymore.




WOW, big paw right there!!! hahaha







Her appointment to get spayed is next Wednesday!

Yesterday we received a box of rawhide from a kind dog lover, Olliver can't wait lol:



Thank you, Claudia!!!

Olivia, day 9 of her Heartworm Treatment

Olivia has not needed pain medication in a few days now and she feels good. Her appetite still lacks a little, but she's not in pain anymore. She wants to play with the other dogs, but has learned that she needs to stay quiet and then she gets her cuddles and all is good :).

She also came out of heat finally, which helped a lot to calm her down too!

I think Honey is about to start though!! I set up her appointment to be spayed for next week Wednesday. There was no earlier appointment available. I hope she won't start with the "mess" before that!

The 4 Border Collie puppies are doing great too. The only male and runt could grow a bit bigger for my taste, but he appears to be ok, except that he's half the size of his 3 very strong sisters.

They are spending most of their time outside in the sun now, but get hot really fast, so they need a lot of shade too and wet towles to sleep on. They love wet towels. Honey still cares for them, but is totally dried up.

We are going to start the puppies on solids today, this is going to be fuuuuuun and very very messy! I will post pictures later!
