The New Year Update

Happy New Year Everyone!
I just wanted to check in with some Mavis and Porsche news. First, Porsche is back at the kennel. While this makes Mavis happy, I admit I am saddened by her return to the kennel. Let me just say it was not because Porsche was unruly or for anything negative. In fact, the foster family was getting TOO ATTACHED to her! The family really wants to foster a dog, but isn't in a place to adopt right now - they felt they and the kids were getting too attached to Porsche - so decided to take her back to the kennel. Porsche is a doll - I think she was a little depressed at last Saturday's adoptions - she missed her new family. It was sad, but we showered her with attention and she hung out with Mavis, and she seemed to perk up a little bit as the day wore on.

In Mavis news - there really isn't any. She hasn't had anyone interested in her and so far only one kind soul has offered to help with some of her mounting expenses. Medically, the radiologist read her Xrays today and found nothing abnormal in them (she had chest and abdominal xrays done to rule out anything organ wise causing her urine protein to rise.) So, she is healthy, just sitting and waiting for someone to find and fall in love with her.

I made flyers of her that I will post around town this weekend, if you want a copy just email me and I'll send it to you. I guess I figure if enough people are out there looking for the perfect home for Mavis, it will happen.

In other news, I am personally saddened by the passing of my cat C-J (you can see her in the photo of the Bully Crew at the bottom of the page. She was 20 years old and my first rescue. Who would have thought that 20 years ago this wily little kitten hiding under a car in a parking lot at my work would start me on my road to rescue. She was a tough one, always in charge of the household no matter how many puppies and pitbulls I brought home. I miss her terribly but am comforted by the fact that I was with her in the end and that she was able to spend her last few hours in her favortite spot - laying in the sun on the deck. Here's to you C-J - may you be healthy and eating til your hearts content.


peace,
