Good morning World! Yesterday<-- MY Derby win and 'Bella's' win!

+11-323
AMPS 345

Shot half an hour early this morning so I could get Bella to the vet. KT's pm+11 was so ugly that I knew it wasn't going to hurt anything. No idea why these UGLY numbers this morning, he possibly woke early and ate last night's food sometime +10-ish.

'Bella' made her vet visit early this morning but unfortunately no one recognized her - I was SO hoping they would. She is indeed quite an old dog, estimated 12-14 years, WAY too old to have had pups. The thing in her eye was a plant stalk about an inch long which, SO LUCKY, was between her eye and the muscle rather than actually in her eye - YEAH! No puncture to doctor every 4 hours for 3 days! She has a partially locked knee on her back right leg but that's been a long time happening. There's no fixing it, she's used to it, her body remodeled to it long ago. Other than being so starved and still having fleas, she's in good health. I knew she had fleas but until I knew about pups or gave up on them, I didn't want to put flea med on her. Her teats have shrunken over half way already, they were already dry but she was SO hungry and thirsty there was nothing to make milk anyway. Her heart sounds good, rattly breathing but she's an old pug with a terrible shape to her smushed nose. We scanned for chip, no such luck. I've left info with vets and Animal Control so we'll wait and see....

Everyone else is doing well so other than adding another bowl to the lineup, guess everything is as 'Normal' as it ever gets around here.

HUGS to all that visit today!!!
 
Re: 5/7 KT AMPS 345 +3-293 Bella OK!

Hi guys ... first off, congrats on your derby win! Second of all, how wonderful for you to trap bella and get her to the vet right away .. So sad someone probably gave her a home for so many years, then let her go .. I hope you can find her a new furever home .. :YMHUG: Thank you for taking her in for now .. and of course can't forget KT .. started out pink but has some yellow shining through .. maybe some blue skies before the day is over? have a great day guys!
 
Re: 5/7 KT AMPS 345 +3-293 Bella OK!

Glad that Bella's ok. I really cannot understand how can people do this to an old pet? Bella's so lucky to have met you!
Maybe KT's pink numbers were because he knew you need to take Bella to the vet & didn't want you to worry when you're not home. You know how good they are when sensing vet's visit!
Come on down KT!
 
Re: 5/7 KT AMPS 345 +3-293 Bella OK!

KT is hanging out with Tarragon, Mannie, Zener & others on the pink floor this morning. There must have been a boy's club meeting there.

Great news on Bella! You are a great bean Lyresa! I am loving these cooler temps today after the hot & humid weekend.

Have a great day!

I just did! DH just said "well, guess we have another dog...people are going to think we're completely crazy..."....thought this would be his reaction as he got to know her...
 
Re: 5/7 KT AMPS 345 +3-293 Bella OK!

Yeah for Bella! So great of you and DH to take her in. So many people aren't interested in taking in older animals but she sounds like she was someones pet at some point, even if they let her have babies at such an age.

Hey KT, get down now. Neko's down at the yellow floor and waiting for the rest of the gang to show up. She wants you to show her the way to blues again.
 
Re: 5/7 KT AMPS 345 +3-293 Bella OK!

heehee - your husband is a good sport. i've used that "i'll find her a good home" and somehow managed to keep someone too.

she sounds like a wonderful dog and lucky to come to Lyresa's Old Pets Home!

KT isn't doing too badly - she's hitting blues most days mid-cycle, so that's not bad at all, especially considering you can't get the evening checks. i think she's looking pretty good - just a teeny bit bouncy.
 
We close out the day with an ugly

PMPS 312 -

not sure why he's up there again but we've kind of been 'unsettled' since Saturday when we found Bella. She's gained her second name, Schniggles....the sound she makes when she's excited. Gotta say it with 20" of tongue in a 5" mouth. She's gained almost a pound, some in just hydration, some good food. If no one answers our 'found dog' ads, she's stayin' right here.... :-D

HUGS TO ALL!!! Lots of prayers for Rocket and Claudia.
 
Hugs to you and DH, Lyresa, for taking in this old gal and giving her hope and love.

KT, you can come on down now, Bella's going to be OK.

See you all tomorrow,

Ella & Rusty
 
She does sound like a puppy farm dump with those teats, precisely the reason people should never buy animals from pet shops. I have been in a few puppy farms and they are such sad disgraceful places and all the mommies have teats like that. I don't think anyone will be claiming her so congratulations on your new baby. Can't wait to see a pic.
