It's been a wonderful week!

Last weekend's adoption week saw the adoption of Rascal, the black Pekinese we pulled from Jessamine. His paperwork was filled out but we were waiting for his neuter later in the week. He was finally ready to go home and his new mommy met us to pick him up on Thursday. We got an update the next day that he was doing wonderful and they were so happy to have him!

This adoption event was fabulous - our best yet! Little Fiona was adopted and got to go home with her new mom, who had been torn between her and Snoopy. She had a friend come meet her and help her decide. They decided Fiona's more laid back personality would better fit their life and we couldn't agree more.

When we arrived we had a new volunteer / foster meet us there with a gorgeous boy - a yellow lab that we'd pulled from the Coffee County Humane Society. Less than 2 years old and sweet as could be, but needed some work walking on a leash and really needs a nice big yard to run off some of that Lab energy! Within a few hours his perfect family came along. Dad is in the military and he and mom have a little girl. She leaned over and gave Cooper a big hug and he just loved it!! So in a few hours with us, Cooper found his perfect forever home and we were beyond thrilled and amazed!

Little Lord Farquaad, the mini tri color beagle boy, has finally gotten well enough to join the pack. He's gained the weight he should, and maybe a bit extra, and has stopped coughing. Kennel cough has gone away so we brought him in and you'd think he'd been there his entire life. He's thrilled with finally having that huge yard to run and play in. He didn't stop wagging or snorting for hours!! And yes, he snorts - like a pig! He's a comical little guy.

We think Sugar is finally past the point where we're over concerned. She's not coughing much anymore and is finally gaining the weight she needed. Her sister Spice is still underweight and coughing a good bit. We've still got them both on some extra food / supplements and Pedialyte in their water to help with their fluid levels. I'm sure she's going to be ok, but it's just going to take her some time. They're 11 months old but very tiny little girls and I'm sure they're done growing. Still shy, but super affectionate. They love to climb in your lap when you sit down.

Randy has a bit of a cough from the others. He's supposed to go to his adopted home next week so we're hoping he's stopped his coughing by then.

Liza was home with us a few days for her spay and went back to her foster home yesterday. She was cranky and whined a lot during the day and we think she was missing her new foster sister. They said as soon as she got there the two girls snuggled on the couch and went right to sleep. We got a call late last night that Liza was coughing though, so she may have picked up the KC from Randy. Gah!! It's just spreading like crazy. Looks like it's time to do a major bleach down of the house. Liza will be coming back to us today until the coughing stops.

We took in another litter of kittens and their mom this week. Kittens are about 5 or 6 weeks old. A man found them in the kitchen cabinet of an old home on his property. He was going to demo the house so when he found them he threw them in the front yard. He told a neighbor he'd just toss them in the woods later if they didn't go away. The neighbor took them and began looking for a rescue. We called our newest kitty foster and they said they had room so we went and got momma and all 5 babies. There are 2 black kitties, 2 calico kittens, a precious little tuxedo kitty and a gorgeous calico momma. Our adoption coordinator has given all the kittens berry names and momma is D'Vine. *groan* LOL We are listing them as courtesy listings. Their fee is $30 and you must provide proof of vetting within 14 days.

The three kittens Munchi has been feeding are doing wonderful. They're going to be very tiny kitties. At 4 weeks they are still much smaller than the newest litter we took in. We think we've got a home for one of the little orange boys and the calico girl is going back to the home that found them. Just leaves one little orange boy left!

Our spay / neuter clinic is closed until next Tuesday, so all other vetting is on hold for a while. We're hoping the twin girls - Sugar and Spice - will be well enough for their spays by then. We'll get Rex, Shrek and Farq in for theirs when they re-open for sure.

Until next time, have a great week!
