Tomorrow marks the end of Trevor’s second week here at Reddog Central, and he’s come a long way in a very short time! Big improvements in housebreaking, crate training, knowing his name and the meaning of “No!” and, best of all, being able to play outside with both of my dogs! He’s been on doxycycline for eight days now, so three weeks more ’til he ( Read more... )

The vet called with the results of Trevor’s last test today. No intestinal parasites! Yippee! I knew the shelter had wormed him, but the wormer they use doesn’t kill whipworms, and finding out whether he was clear of those was the last barrier to him being able to have unsupervised play time in the yard with my guys.

( A tale of meds, and dogfood, ( Read more... )

The new foster dog is settling in nicely, and I think he’s a Trevor. It came down to Trevor and Sparky in the end. He could be a Sparky… I think he’s got the personality for it… but I think Trevor works better for him learning things, since it’s vaguely close enough to the sound of Drummer and Thunder that calling any of the names in the backyard ( Read more... )

I posted the good news about Kaos last night, but I think it wound up so far back on most people's f-lists that nobody saw it. Short story... Kaos got adopted! Woohoo! Details in previous posting. :-)

But that brings me to the LJ oddity... I originally wrote the Kaos post yesterday afternoon from work. Then nycgadgetgirl, who was really the person responsible ( Read more... )

I'm so excited that I'm bouncing all over my house ( Read more... )

Kaos is still in the kennel in Pennsylvania, where she's been since her original adopter dropped her off there in May. She's charmed the folks at the kennel, and the mom of another boarder there has taken Kaos under her wing and given her some extra attention and treats when she's been able ( Read more... )

Wow... what changes a year can bring...

Slightly less than a year ago, my sister nycgadgetgirl met Kaos and her homeless owner Benedict. Kaos was estimated to be six months old at the time, and she and Benedict were devoted to each other.

( The next year of Kaos's life got complicated )

Some of you will remember my posting about Kaos a few months ago. She's the dog who'd wound up in Miami Dade Animal Services after getting separated from her owner (we still don't know what happened to Benedict). A bunch of people pulled together to help my sister (who had befriended Kaos and Benedict before they left NYC) get her pulled from the ( Read more... )

This afternoon, I drove a leg of a big Pointer transport moving seven Pointers and a Viszla from various shelter situations to a rescue in Michigan called Pointers from Oz ( Read more... )

It's official... Kaos has made it to her new mom. :-) Ami sent a text message to nycgadgetgirl confirming that "She's a sweetheart!", which comes as no real surprise since that was the reaction of her foster mom and her transporters ( Read more... )
