Busy week
So adoptions were rather... interesting on Saturday. Amelia was sick, so she wasn't there and I was kind of put in charge by default. It wasn't too bad, because a lot of volunteers showed up, but we were very unorganized and didn't have medical records for any of the animals. Ultimately, 3 got adopted (including Tootsie) and a new foster-to-adopt home was set up for Houdini. They were going to take her on Saturday, but it turns out she has tapeworms. So I bought her a $15 Drontal pill (yes, that's ONE pill) and gave it to her this morning, and she will go to her new home next Saturday.
I went out trapping with Kyle on Tuesday and we got two kittens that I think are related to Missy. I already wrote about that. Anyways, we're fostering them now; I got permission from Amelia to have them go throguh the Dog House, we just have to be sneaky in taking them to Avondale. I named them Benny and Joon. I love them.
Amelia called me on my way to work today saying that a real estate agent had contacted her about a couple of dogs that were abandoned in the fenced yard of one of her vacant rental properties. The previous tenants did not have pets so she doesn't know how they got there, but one of them had a Dog House tag. Apparently we should be more careful who we adopt to. I went by and picked them up on my way home from work and they're upstairs in the bathroom right now. The one with the tag is a young (maybe a year or two old at most) golden retriever female. Her collar was suffocatingly tight, and she has mats behind her ears and she's underweight, though not drastically so. The other dog didn't have a collar, and therefore no tags, and looks to be a chow mix, but something is off. He just looks very... odd. His coat looks like a tortoiseshell cat's pattern, and he has an old face although his teeth indicate that he is also rather young. He has a too-short-for-his-body tail, and is quite bony beneath his fluff. His face is kind of stubby; it's hard to explain, but he just doesn't look right I guess. Sweet dog though. Unfortunately, he likes to mark. He's too fluffy in the rear for me to see if he's been fixed, and he's a bit wary of being examined back there if you get my drift. They're both incredibly sweet dogs. Someone was ridiculously cruel to do this to them. They had no food or water, and there's no way to know how long they were in that yard like that. People really sicken me sometimes.
I was supposed to go trapping in Alpharetta on Sunday but something came up and the woman asked me to postpone it a week. I was going to start a new colony tonight but it started to storm. So all in all, it's a bad week for trapping. Oh well.
