She is a lucky little girl to find such a good home.

NCquilter 04-01-2011 03:17 PM

She's adorable!

Celeste 04-01-2011 03:30 PM

What a sweetie! Thank you forgiving her a good home, despite her supposed heart murmur.

Nobody should put Baby into the corner....she's beautiful! My shep pup is now 10mths old and is the only one of her litter which survived an outbreak of distemper. I brought her home when she was only 5 weeks old to remove her from the enviroment she was in. I've never regretted my decision for a minute.....nobody puts Rosie into a corner either. LOL Enjoy the new member of your family!

Hello, Baby! You are going to be loved for a long time!

Irish Rose - We have a border collie/lab mix also. His my avatar, his name is Hero, and spoiled rotten.

Billy - Love your other fur babies also, they look so content.

Fantastic fur family! I'm not allowed to visit or volunteer at the shelters. I'd bring them all home.

Precious, but just the reason why neither I nor my husband can risk setting foot in the SPCA :cry:

When we adopted her the shelter spaded, chipped, dewormed, did the first round of shots and gave us a voucher for her rabies shot for the $75 adoption fee. When they did the spading the vet said she had a heart murmur and gave us the option to back out. But I knew what they would have done to her so I told my wife to bring the little girl home anyway. At least I can make sure the rest of her life is a loved one.

The day before yesterday we took her to our vet and he gave her the second round of shots, checked her stitches and did a thorough check up to verify the murmur and she did not have one. The other vet was listening to her erratic breathing because she is a hunting dog and made the wrong assessment. So needless to say the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders when we heard the good news!

Thank God she is doing ok! Yeah I have a couple Aussies, those wiggle butts are dangerously addictive. So are the smiles!

She is just darling!!!!!!

teacherbailey 04-02-2011 04:14 PM

What a sweetheart! I have a 10 year old Aussie mixed with ???? and he's been a great family dog for 9 years now. He was a rescue with less than 24 hours of life left when we adopted him and other than not liking little kids a whole lot, he's been absolutely wonderful!!!!! Be sure that your little guy meets people of all ages and diversities when he's little so you don't have the same problem that I do...

noreeli 04-02-2011 06:37 PM

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Gladys 04-02-2011 06:38 PM

Ohh how sweet. I'm so glad you saved her. Those dogs are so smart.

Lostn51 04-02-2011 06:55 PM

Well this is kinda crappy but it comes with the territory I suppose......

My littlest Pom "Star" had started developing a cough and last night it was pretty bad with her breathing. It was a raspy sound and she had a deep chest type of cough. When it first started I thought it was the pollen count (it is through the roof here) but I told my wife I was running her to our vet to get her some relief.

Come to find out Baby had given her a respiratory infection and she had to get antibiotic and steroid shots and since it was almost that time of the year I went ahead and got her boosters while I was there. She is doing a lot better but I still have to give her liquid antibiotics until they run out.

Now for the kicker......Dixie (my Irish Setter mix) started coughing tonite. :roll: I hope she doesnt get any worse or have problems breathing until Monday morning so I can run her to the vet. I am having her be as calm as she can be, just letting her rest next to me and loving on her a lot. It would be nice if the vet was in tomorrow to nip it in the bud. That is why I am taking my other Pom with me when I go. ;-)
