Freddy has found his comfort place. He’s the only one who sleeps there. He’s still working on healing. Started heartworm treatment a week ago then ended up back to the vet 2 days later with an infected salivary gland. Poor guy! He’s had things none of our other dogs has had. They had to lance it but thankfully they were able to install his microchip while he was under anesthesia. He goes back tomorrow for a follow up visit, then his next heartworm treatment on May 15. Some day he’ll be able to get vaccinations and neutered. He also has a 6-month follow up with the eye specialist coming up. His eye looks perfect now and we’re no longer having to medicate it.

He’s turning into a sweet pup. He still has spats with the alpha dog but he’s calmed down somewhat. I hope it’ll get even better after he’s neutered.

Freddy, Zoe and Sweetpea sleeping off doggy dinner. Sweet, happy babies.

Congratulations to our Zoe on her 11th birthday. She’s 3 1/2 pounds of spoiled dog and we wouldn’t have her any other way. 

Freddy is up to 8.2 pounds. Doc says that’s a good weight for him. He’s doing great, happy and sweet.

Meet Freddy. He came into our lives Tuesday. His owners had passed away and left him to starve. He’s gained almost a pound in 6 days so we’re going in the right direction. He has an infected eye we’re trying to save and has to have a lot of medical interventions, but he’s a sweet little boy who we have fallen in love with.

He’s 8 years old and only weighed 6 pounds. You can see every bone in his body, so he eats everything we offer him. We’re feeding him off and on all day and he’s loving it. He doesn’t seem to have any emotional trauma, thankfully, so we’ll just continue to heal his body and love him all we can.

He’s going to the vet every 3 days while we work on his eye. He’s on multiple medications and prescription food. But he’s good with taking his medication and there’s been minimal issues with our dogs. There was one spat with the alpha dog but no blood drawn and they seem to be at a truce since then. He’s such a lovable little thing that it’s hard not to make our dogs jealous or offend them. We’re working on it all. So far it’s working. Wish us luck!

She made it! Gypsy had a health scare a few weeks ago and we wondered if it would be her last, but, thankfully, everything has worked out and she’s fit as a fiddle. She goes to the cardiologist in a couple of weeks to see if she needs to start on medication for her heart but that’s not a big deal either way. We’ll do whatever it takes to keep her healthy.

In the picture above she’s eating pumpkin cake on her birthday. They love cakes from Starbucks so we made a special trip to make sure she had the best for her special day. We love you, Ms Gypsy!!!

Seven years old today, our baby dog. ZsaZsa. Last night we spent 3 hours in the ER with her. The first time she’s ever been sick and it has to be on her birthday. Just digestive issues and she seems better today. I took her out in the car for a bit and she was quieter but still enjoyed it. She’s kept 4 teaspoons of canned food down so I think she’s going to be just fine.
