At Last!

Due to our being chronically behind on updating our website, we've finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and give blogging a shot. Maybe it will help. More likely it will be one more thing we forget to, or don't have time to, update!

I'm new to blogging, and hope some of the other gals, who are more computer adept than I, will keep this puppy up and running, but in the meantime, I figured I'd best post something to get us started!

I received an update on the mangey girls from Carol at SAINTS today. They're doing well, and Jolie, who's been sick with terrible diarrhea (huge thanks to Carol for having the patience to clean up 12-15 watery, smelly, messes each day!), seems to be feeling a bit better. Her fecal came back showing no bacteria load, coccidia, or giardia. The vet figures her diarrhea is caused by the demodex itself, and/or the Ivermectin. So, Carol's giving Jolie some Kaopectate to try and firm up her poops, and Jolie's staying on the Flagyl, more as a preventative than anything.
All three girls are turning out to have lovely temperaments, and are good with cats - one of the resident kitties at SAINTS keeps jumping into their area, and they just sniff him curiously. George is still being a bit of a stinker at the fence with the other dogs, but not aggressively, she seems to think it's a great game.

Not much more to report. George and Lovely Bree should be going into foster this weekend, and then it will just be Jolie needing a foster home. Oh! - Bones has an adoption pending, which we're excited about. That boy has been waiting quite awhile, and we're really glad to see he's finally going to get a family of his very own. Also, the WCAPBT Club Funshow this past weekend was lots of fun, and it was nice to see some HugABullers there representing (Allison, Raylee, Tasha, Gen, EJ, Leslie & fam - I think that's everyone?). Proud to say my Grandma was there, wearing her HugABull swag and talking up the rescue dogs!
