The Foster Dogs!

I thought I'd blog about the foster hounds today cause they've had lots going on!

First off Kayah

Kayah's heartworm treatment is going super well! She'll go back to the V-E-T and get rechecked for heartworms in a few weeks and hopefully she'll be cleared and then we can help find her a home!

Plus Momma's been working on some training with Kayah. Kayah was abandoned in a garage for a while so she forgot that doggies go potty in the grass. The training is going well and Kayah is learning to love the feel of grass under her feet again!



Mickey got neutered on Monday! He wasn't too happy about it but it had to happen. He hasn't licked his incision once, probably cause Momma continues to threaten him with the Cone of Shame!

Mickey has also been working on training with Momma. He knows Stay, Come, Look, and No and he's making progress with Sit and Off. He loves training! Momma thinks Mickey could make an awesome agility or therapy doggie since he's so sweet and works so hard.


And then there's Roy!

I've haven't mentioned Roy before cause he's a foster dog at Momma's work. Roy is with the Looziana Basset Rescue, which is our local basset rescue. Momma is, of course, in love with Roy. He's 7 years old but doesn't act like it. He also has dry eyes like I do but he's really good about his eye drops.

Momma wanted me to pass on that Looziana Basset Rescue is having a fund raiser right now. If you donate 40 kibble dollars to the Looziana Basset Rescue during the month of March, you can get a really cool basset-y themed picture!

This is the link for the pictures: http://www.gallery504.biz/ Once you donate your kibble monies at this website www.firstgiving.com/bayoubassets then you just e-mail bayoubassets@bellsouth.net and tell them which picture you want, where to send the picture and how you donated your kibble monies.

We already own a basset-y print that was made a few years back. It's one of our favorite pictures!

That's it for now.

Kayah's Heartworms Round 2

Hey everydoggie


Well Ms. Kayah is going for her second (and hopefully last) round of heartworm treatment today!


So please say some puppy prayers that everything goes ok!

I know we've been asking for lots of puppy prayer and crossed paws but it seems to go with being a foster home for these homeless pups!

I can add on a happy note, Mickey funny neck bump got figured out and he didn't need splurgery! Although there is talk of him going and getting tutored soon.

Hopefully our next post will be Smiley and I in our Barkus costumes!

Kayah starts heartworm treatment!

Hey everybody! Droopy here

We need lots of good doggie vibes for Kayah. She started heartworm treatment today.



Heartworm treatment is a very scary thing for a pup to go through. The v-e-t takes a big needle and injects medicine into your back and it starts killing all these scary worms that are stuck to the doggie's heart. The doggie has to stay very calm and there can be no walkies or running around or any fun for weeks and weeks!!!!

While Kayah is at heartworm treatment Smiley and I hung out with Momma and napped alot. But then Momma said it was time for BATHS!!!!





But then we got tasty treats for being such good girls!!! Hurray!!!

Quiet days

Hey everybody! Droopy here

It's been very quiet around here so we haven't had much to blog about. Momma's computer is having issues with getting pictures on it so this will be a post without photos.

Smiley and I have been going to work with momma a whole bunch.

Kayah got to go to work too! But she didn't go play with all the other pups. Kayah had to go to the Southern Animal Foundation (or SAF) to get medicine to get ready for her heartworm treatment. SAF is the V-E-T that the rescue group Kayah belongs to goes to. They offer low cost check ups and spay and tutorings!

Plus our friend Violet is staying over at our house this week! She's an honorary basset while she stays with us, even though she's really a pitbull!

Well that's all for now. Hopefully we will be able to post pictures soon cause this post is really boring without pictures!

Sniff ya later,
Droopy, Smiley, and Kayah (and Violet)
