Dusty's Day

Today was the day Dusty would have been returned had his new family had decided he was not the dog for them. Well, he didn't come back! YEAH for Dusty. You have your FOREVER home, Dusty. So happy we could help you.

Bye-bye Sweet boy.

Dusty's new home is working out great. They all share him and he is just eating up all the attention. I will be very shocked if Dusty even comes back to rescue again. I feel safe in saying DUSTY HASS FUREVER HOME! Congrats sweetie. I miss you and love you and wish you a wonderful life.

Dusty's big day!

Today Dusty was delivered to his new home. He now begins a life with a family that will love him until he goes to Rainbow Bridge. He was a special foster to me. I guess each one is special in some way. Dusty is just extra special. I love him very much and will miss him every day for a very long time. It has been my pleasure to help that sweet boy. To save him from death at the pound, to see him through his elbow healing, to spend time with him just enjoying life. Good luck Dusty. be a good boy and show your new family what it's like to be loved by such a wonderful dog.

I'm getting adopted!

Dad stayed home to watch football on TV today. Mom took me to Petsmart for adoption day. A real nice family came to look for a dog for their little girl. They have a big girl and a big boy too. They liked me. They took turns petting me and the boy and the dad held me. They are real nice. They said they like a calm dog. Bella said I should jump up and down when people come to look at me. She doesn't know anything. I was just MYSELF and they liked me for me. Mom says they filled the form out and Miss Amy will do a home visit and if all the papers are OK and the yard is safe for me, I get to go to the new home soon. Geeee a family of my very own. A family that will love me and hold me and love me. A family that will not let me run the streets and get hurt like my other family did. I sure hope everything checks out. I want to take turns sleeping in each one's bed. hehehe Oh and sleep on the couch with my new dad when TV is on too. Of course I want to sleep at my mom's feet when she is reading or doin somethin too. I'm going to have a good life. I am going to have a family that loves me just for me.

I went to Petsmart.

I went to Petsmart with mom, dad and Mandy. Mandy got a home! Some people came in and they wanted her to be their dog. Mom and dad said they were nice and they would bring Mandy to their house Monday. I don't know why I didn't get a home too. Mandy said she had to go twice before she got her home. That means next time I go I will get my furever home too. I'll be ready. I feel good. I got my neuter. OUCH! It's almost all well now. My leg is real good. The vet said I can go up for adoption. I'm happy. I'm ready to be the center of attention.

I love my Mommy

My Mommy is so special to me. She holds me and brushes me. She clips my nails and she just loves on me all the time. hehehe She likes to brush me. I know that cause she brushes me a lot. I let her do that when ever she want to. She said she is going to get my coat cut soon. She says she wants to wait until I can stand up for a while so the groomer lady can make me handsome. My leg is doing ok but it's not all well yet. I take my meds and mom holds me a lot so I don't walk on my leg too much. Mom says I am getting a "Puppy Cut". I'm not a puppy! I'm a big boy! Oh well, if that's what mom wants I guess it's ok. :-) I love my foster mom.

Feeling groovy

I'm feeling pretty good. Not 100% but good. Mom says I will be well some day and so I am just counting on that. My leg is a lot better. The vet says it's healing so I guess it is. Mom gives me vitamins and supplaments and I don't mind. She vives me calcium and that tasts good. The other stuff she puts in a ball of canned food. Yummy! The vet says I can walk outside to otty on my own. I am so glad. I felt like a spoiled brat when she carried me everywhere I went. I think Buddy, Toby and Bingo were laughing at me for that. A guy should be able to walk on his own. I still limp but maybe one day I won't. I love my mom. I give her kisses every day. Sometimes she puts me on a blanket on the sofa with her and we just hang out and watch TV. I like that. I hope I have a furever mom soon.

I feel better.

My Nanna says I have to go to the vet again on Mon. She says I am doing better but nt 100% yet. I get suppliments to make my bones mend faster and vitamins to make me strong and so I'll feel good. It works cause I feel fine. I just wish I could get out of my crate and play with the other dogs here. I am tired of being alone in the crate. Nanna says maybe I will get good news from the vet and will get released. OH I hope so. We will see Mondy. I love my Nanna. She brushes me and hugs me and talks to me all the time. I like that. I cuddle with her. hehehe

It started on 7/29/09

I had a bad accident. I was walking along and a car hit me. I don't remember just how it happened ut it did and it hurt. I was sitting on the end of a driveway when a truck came by and a nice person picked me up and took me to animal control. The doctor there gave me some med. for pain and they kept me in a kennel except for going out to potty. There was a lady who came to help one day after I just got there and she took me home with her when she left. She is a volunteer and works with a rescue also. I am now here with 9 other dogs. They all get to run and play but I have to stay in my kennel. It's clean and I have food and water all the time. My kennel has a very thick soft bottom. It feels good. My foster parents took me to the vet on the way home from the shelter and he took pictures of my leg on the inside! Humans are smart! He said I have a fractured elbowe and have to stay off my leg for 2-3 wks. I watch the others play but mom comes and holds me and hugs me off and on all day so I don't feel sorry for myself. I am going to get well.
