SNOW BEAR IS HOME

 

Snow Bear went to his forever home yesterday.  He was waiting for his dinner w his tail wagging.  He has doggy brothers and sisters and be a happy addition.  They will continue his therapy.  He began using socks w a patch that help him not slide. He has the “sad face” but he’s so happy to be a forever dog. ❤️

HELPING ME UNPACK

I’ve been at the new house for several days to unpack some. 

I’ve done a lot of sitting on the deck.  Boxes are waiting.  That’s ok. 

After a fast week of packing, I’m just slowing down a little.  I love the peacefulness. 

Gwennie still likes to pretend she is stuck.  Silly girl. She’s not stuck. 

Sad face.  Still not stuck. 

Now she has reinforcements.  I’m not buying it. 😉

I have a ramp to the grass. Dickens is learning to use it.  Cinnamon discovered it too. 

This seat is temporary.  Piper does love a window seat.  I’m trying to figure out where things will fit. 

There’s no fence.  Oh no!   But I’ve stretched out 3 xpens and for now it works fine.  We have a list of things to change but nothing is critical.  For now, I’m enjoying the feel of our new home.  We’ll eventually be here full time. Not yet.  I’m not rushing.  I’m listening to birds and waiting for the deer to show up.  I’m sure the dogs will let me know when they arrive.  🦌😂
 

GRANGERS PAPER BAG

I’ve been spending some time at our new house.  It’s less than a mile from our oldest daughter’s home.  That means I’m close to Granger, Tuk Tuk, and Gigi. 

My daughter had just returned from shopping and that meant paper bags. He crawled into one right away. 

He tried to find the end. And he found it. 

He started to walk toward us.  Bag attached. 

It was tough. 

His legs were in different holes which made it hard to maneuver. 

He persevered   It was hard not to laugh. 

Can you do it?  You’re struggling. 

He finally laid down like a turtle w his shell. Don’t worry buddy. We’re coming to your rescue. ❤️

GWENNIE SEES THE VET

Gwennie has had digestive issues since she came. Her bloodwork is good. X-rays showed nothing.  

So yesterday, she had an ultrasound. I thought it would show nothing.  But it did.  She had no breakfast and her stomach should have been empty. It wasn’t.  She wasn’t processing her food at a normal rate.  The ultrasound  showed inflamation in her intestines and the walls are thicker than they should be.  She needed special medicines to help.  We began them yesterday.   

She continued to have some ear infection and received a second medication. She also had some inflamation around her eyes. We are also treating that. We don’t know her past. We don’t know if she received good care and nutrition in her life before rescue.  

She likes her new food. It will help her heal.  

She still likes me to sit by her and hand her the food.  We do indulge her. 

It will take some time, but I think she will heal fully. 

In the meantime, we’ll continue to spoil her, and let her choose all the toys she wants. She has tried to take Dickens’ special toy.  He loves that toy. So Gwennie can have any toy but that one. 😂.   I’ll keep you updated on how she does. 🌸

 

WHERE TO BE

Going between two house as we move is busy!  The dogs are used to being in our main house.   28 years here.  I’ve gotten rid of a lot.  But there is still a lot to move and organize.  Figuring out how the new space works. 

And normal things still need to be done.  Gwennie and the other 4 were groomed yesterday.   Whoa!

Gwennie was amazingly good.  She just let me do it all. No fussing. No fear of the blow dryer.  Good girl.  

All the moving has her finding strange places to rest.  Lol

At the new house, I’m trying to figure out where everything will fit.  Wall space is different. 

I’d like to just pause and look at all the azaleas blooming.  

I’ll miss them at our new house.  We can’t have them there. Deer are all over and you can find them resting in your yard.   They think azaleas are candy!  I’ll have to find deer “unfriendly” flowers. 😂. Any suggestions?   

Life is changing but it’s a new adventure.  It will be great!  

 

SNOW BEAR IMPROVING

Snow Bear is such a happy boy.   He’s almost 4 years old.  He was injured several years ago and didn’t get the help he needed.  He was re-injured  about 3 months ago and had no help that time.  I’m so glad he came to PVPC. 

His foster mom put sock grippers on his feet and he’s able to walk some.  He has an appointment to be neutered.  One more step in his health care.  

He goes to have acupuncture done and he might have water therapy also.  He’s being neutered today and then should be ready to be adopted. 

That’s right!  He’s being adopted.  Previous adopters want to give him a forever home.  They’re very experienced w mobility issues  and they will continue his therapy.  It will be a loving special home for a loving special boy   What a blessing for Snow Bear.   ❤️
