Olivia and her new friend Rosy
Rosy, the cat, never liked dogs very much. She tolerated them, because she grew up around them, but she was never particularly fond of them like her brother is. If he gets his paws on Butters, love is in the air!

Today's Emergency
Our LalaLucy (black cat, 6) came crawling up to the house earlier today, crying. She had not been around for a couple of days, which is not unusual, because she sleeps in the neighbor's shed during the day. I'm used not seeing her since I'm not always outside or paying attention in the evenings.
To make a long story short, she had her tail amputated. Vet's guess: dog got a hold of her.
And there is only one dog running loose around here that I have refused to call animal control on so far, because it's a pit bull and he would have zero chance at the local shelter. Unfortunately that dog also killed a chicken this morning, so I'm afraid that next time I see him I will have to call it in. I cannot have a dog running around killing other animals even though just about every dog would go after a chicken and/or a cat
.
Lucy has feline leukemia, as have all the cats that I adopted, which means that her immune system is compromised. She weighted only 4 lbs, lost half of her weight in the past 2 days and was dehydrated as well.
I wonder what really happened to her, but I guess I'll never find out for sure. All I know is that she will have to be an inside cat from now on. This is not going to be fun as much as she dislikes dogs.

Great Dane in a Chihuahua Bed
Olivia decided it's time to try out our old Chihuahua Mix Sandy's bed. Isn't it amazing how small Danes can make themselves?
For some reason this bed is very loved, since I remember Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy (Great Dane Mix), squeezing himself into it as well:
and Josie with Samson:
Everybody but Sandy LOL!
I pulled Honey's stitches today. She did not move or flinch, I think she didn't even breathe..what a girl! She healed up well. The last stitch removal was sort of a finalizing moment, because with that she is ready to start living now.
We'll plan to take all the dogs out to Proctor Lake next week on a long hike. This is going to be fuuuuuun.

4 Border Collie Mix Breed Puppies for adoption!
 |  |
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!
