With Cleo and Lilly fighting at every opportunity after Lilly began to get well,
one of them needed to find a new place to call home... Cleo was younger so it was
she who moved...
|
The finding of a new home was accomplished in August of 2002 with much help from a
friend in Ft. Myers.
|
Cleo found a wonderful new family 25 miles west
of here and is now an only dog - exactly what she had wanted from the beginning.
|
She also has a new name - Lady Bug
|
In fact, she is now a model. She couldn't be happier in her new home. She poses wearing the
clothes and hats her mom designs and sells...
|
|
She even visits a friend inside a Hospice now
|
Lady Bug is our best success story
|
We were sure things would get better... Not the way it happened
Soon after Lady Bug left, Lilly began picking on and biting most all the others
|
Charlie, the light of my life,
left for the bridge at the
end of January, 2003
|
Chip immediately began trying to grieve himself to death
|
The basset hound waddle a few weeks later was sad
|
Lilly went home with someone else that afternoon
|
Searched and searched for friend for Chip
|
Finally locating a basset at the Polk County dog pound, we were 10 minutes too late to claim it
for Chip
|
However, we looked around since we were there...
|
In the last row of cages hidden back behind where no one would see were
the SMALLEST pair of bassets I had ever seen!!! End of February
- 2003
Molly and Chandler
had just gotten
there and were
waiting to be
processed into
the system
|
Neither of them had heartworms, but there was another worse problem...
|
When they were getting ready to be made sterile, the pound vet found a huge lump on Chandler's testicle
|
She REFUSED to operate for fear it was cancer, but wouldn't let me have him either
|
He had to be transported to my vet via the dog catcher truck to wait until my vet could look
at him
|
After being neutered, antibiotics cured his testicular cancer within another week
|
Molly began to
bond with
Knee-Hi her
first night here
|
Someone else wanted Knee-Hi very badly. I had agreed before I realized what I had said...
|
By the next morning,
someone showed
up to take Knee-Hi
to her new home
|
Chandler and Molly brought new
life to our oldler hounds once again
|
Near the end of November, Molly and Chandler
became registered thourgh Therapy Dogs, Inc.
|
The next day, a trip to Ocala let us get Chester - the happiest
dog we have ever met and loved
|
When our precious Lucy Beth
died on April 7, 2004,
our hearts were broken
once again...
Chucky in July and Matthew in October have brought
plenty enough joy to mend our broken hearts,
but
then we lost Josh Oct. 22, 2004...
Very sad again now
