Bonnie Update: Wanna guess her breed?

Well I've been visiting Bonnie as frequently as possible, visiting with some treats both supplements and things for her to enjoy.

She's kenneled 24 hours a day right now because of where she is and her condition. She couldn't be happier about it! She's got a soft bed, lots of food and water, and a lot of people speaking kind words to her. She even has the whole area to herself. She feels like a Princess. She's very calm, happy to greet people, though a little weary of people's reaction to her, well for lack of better word, gruesome appearance.

She's almost completely bald from the mange and the antibiotics she's on. Come next week she'll make another trip to the vet, and continue her healing process. Even though she looks worse, she is feeling better, safe and secure in her little "condo" at the pound right now. Once the vet can pin down the type of mange, we can continue the treatment from there.

You can see her video below, chewing on her dentabone, play bowing/stretching as she eats it. Can you believe this girl is only around 3 years old? Maybe even younger!

I would love to hear anyone's guess on her breed! She's a petite girl, around 34 lbs

Brotherly Love - Pumba & Timone

I just had to make a note about these cats. They are adorable. They are brothers, 5 years old, neutered and de-clawed. Someone "found" them, together.. imagine that? Lots of people avoid the surrendering fee for their animals by saying they "found" them as strays, and these two were one such case.

They are bonded together; Pumba looks after Timone (the orange tabby) lovingly. Timone has a thyroid problem and a grade one heart murmur. He's featured on my etsy site here:

I don't know how no one could want these cute boys; it never ceases to amaze me how much affection animals have not only for humans, but themselves.

New Additions

Well I've been busy hanging out with some pretty cool furry critters. I had the pleasure of meeting with a rescued Chihuahua Miko and his support sister Calypso.

They modelled for me courtesy of http://www.ccrt.ca/ Canadian Chihuahua Rescue & Transport group who do an awesome job handling the many puppy mill survivors and people who realize that these dogs, are dogs, not purse accessories.

Miko, pictured both right and left, was left at a vet office at 6 months old, obviously abused and had a severely broken leg. He's never been your average dog and is very weary of new people and dogs. He's about 6 now and is facing some serious health problems. However he obliged and let me take some pictures of him (ahem, with treat in hand). He is one special guy!

Coming up next, more pictures of feline friends, a boston terrier, and some very cool Brittany Spaniels.

Bella Update!

Here are some photos of Bella after her surgery. She is doing well, was treated for fleas and is being treated for tape worm too poor girl! Thanks to everyone's support! Looks like she's going to be going to her new permanent home on Saturday.

Thanks again for all the support!!!

The Bonnie Sale

Bonnie is a stray dog that came into the facility where I volunteer on Wednesday. When she was found, she was emaciated, covered in mange (severe mites), and bleeding. The thought they were going to euthanize her but asked if I could help her, they would be able to spare her life.

You can see Bonnie here, but I warn you it is disturbing and I am hoping to help her look her very best and feel her very best:


Seeing abused animals on a daily basis has given me a pretty thick skin at what to expect with strays. I was however, not prepared for the condition and extreme abuse this dog had endured.

The good news is mange is treatable and she is a very lovely little girl. Only three years or so.

So I am holding a sale on my www.latejuly.esty.com store for the Month of August!
