Just Checking In....

Hello!




I've been gone more in the past two weeks since dh was recovering at home from
his back surgery. He returned to work today so I can finally get some time to
catch up on posts.




I've been trying to find a 4 year old Sheltie named Misty a home the past few
days, also. I've tried finding rescues in the midwest and am awaiting a response.
My friend's daughter-in-law is overwhelmed with her dh being sent to Iraq this
past week where he'll be for 18 months, and she's working full-time, and has
a two year old and another baby on the way. She's getting rid of her Sheltie
since she said she doesn't trust her around small children. With adults she's
very loving. I hope I can find someplace for her soon or she'll be dropped off
at the Humane Society. :-(




A co-worker of mine upset me today when she said she's taking her Siamese kitten
to the vets to get all four paws de-clawed. She said "It's only two days
of pain, and then nothing". She obviously hasn't read anything about how
the surgery really can affect the animal. I know some cats do fine (My Missy
was forced to have all four de-clawed by my father...this was in the early 80's
before I knew anything about it.....she became shy and withdrawn at times and
didn't like her paws touched).

It's a shame people like her don't take the time & effort to try other alternatives
first, like trimming his claws, or trying soft paws. Sigh.




My four girls are all healthy at last. Unfortunately poor Misha still hasn't
been accepted. I had to break up a scuffle between her & Patches today.
It's so frustrating.




I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I've been thinking about you!
I hope Sammy is getting better & that everyone's furbabies are doing well.




Talk to you more soon!




Hugs,




Suzy

Hi Suzy!


I'm glad things are starting to slow down for you a little...life can get so hectic at times.


Good luck on finding the Sheltie a home... have you checked with Sheltie Rescue?
