The latest

A lot has happened in the 7 days since I last posted. Last week Armstrong finally joined our family and as you can see in this photo he is cuteness incarnate. He's also hilarious with his short little legs and sausage roll body. For the first couple days he was quite sad to be away from his momma and sister for the first time, but Chava quickly took on the big sister roll and kept him so busy wrestling that he didn't have time to cry. This is the Armstrong that was in Texas with his sister Sally Ride who I've been posting photos of in Flickr when his first foster mom sent them to me. He's about 9 weeks old now and in a couple weeks he'll be neutered and ready to go to his new home where they are anxiously awaiting his arrival. He'll join Sprocket there, a previous foster of ours and I'm so happy he'll have a young dog to play with as he gets quite worried when he is alone.




Chava is growing like a weed and today she was spayed. She's recovering well this evening, kicking back and seemingly pain-free and happy. She still will need to continue with the mange treatment and today we found out that she has a yeast infection on her head as well so she'll need to start an antifungal, too. She's maturing into an incredible dog - confident, playful and kind - and her new mom is lucky indeed to have such a wonderful pup joining her family.



Since there are 3 mangy and somewhat ill black and tan foster puppies winging their way to Kathy's house tomorrow, Sally Ride will be joining our crew after all. Chava will be going home on Saturday so for one crazy day we will have 5 dogs in the house, three of them puppies. I don't know how those moms with 6 or 7 foster dogs do it.
