Last Friday Bob and I went to visit Luna and Tracy and the kids and the puppies!
Little porkers are doing great. Luna has been ill ever since giving birth. Tracy took her to the emergency vet day after we were there for chronic diarrhea and also found out from bloodwork she has a tick borne disease which can't be treated until pups are weaned.
PANDORA!
Bob holding Phoebe. They have matching outfits!
Luna is still afraid of strangers, but I finally am this close to her, so I had to get a pet in! She is so tiny. Out on the median she looked a lot bigger lol!
How many kids can fit in the puppy pen? I've got to hand it to Tracy, six kids with disabilities, five of her own chows, one foster chow who may also be pregnant, Luna and three puppies and a lot of big fish aquariums, I don't know how she does it all.
I will be bringing these cuties up to NJ in May when I come for the wedding!
Scrappy, one of Tracy's chows, and Lacy in the background, another one of Tracy's chows.
Bob petting Maggie, another one of Tracy's chows.
Candy who we got out of MS, we think she may be pregnant and will know on Tuesday.
Alyson, Katie and little Pan.
Friday was the big spring church sale, but Sarah let me in early on Monday so I could get pick of the goods! This Mid Century lamp was only $3 and weighed 11 lbs. and 36 inches tall! I've already sold it on Ebay for $83. It's going to CA!
A Peruvian alpaca blanket, just like the sweater I got when I went to Peru! Same llamas!!
So much for my gardening break from rescue. How my name gets to people, I just don't know, but got a call on this senior girl in KY who was left at an abandoned house. She is a horrible matted mess.
Whoever found her cut a lot off and got her to a vet where she's been staying since last week. I was to drive to Asheville today to meet the other driver bringing her down, but the lady's 16 year old dog had a stroke and she had to let him go, so we are trying again tomorrow.
She is only 30 lbs. Of course, I knew who to call, my friend Marcia in Drums, PA, who is going to adopt her. I will have her until next week and get her on transport north with my friend Dione. Her new name is Lady Bug!
Watching her cross traffic on I-95 to the woods and back again UGH!
Then her capture on 2/26 at 4:00 AM!!
To having three puppies just 72 hours later!!
Aly and Luna have formed a special bond, so Tracy is going to adopt Luna so they can stay together!
Pandora, Phoebe and Pan.
A very nice gift from "Santa Paws" an anonymous donor!
The last two months took a toll on my immune system. Weeks of doing all-nighters, which at my age is not possible without pots of coffee and bottles of Mountain Dew, being out of town in a crappy hotel, setting up traps in the rain and cold. Once I got home, I found out my neighbors had been sick for weeks, so I took them a pot of chicken soup, and I evidently picked up what they had. Two weeks later I am back on my feet and now ready to go meet Luna! She has her own FB page "Luna's Chow Village" with 200 followers, the gifts and checks keep coming. So many worried and cared about Luna. Many times I was ready to throw in the towel, and almost did on the 26th, but good thing I didn't, we didn't know she was about to give birth!
