The Stork
All week we had been trying to fly Harleigh to her new home in Canon City, CO, which is a 2.5 hour drive (1.25 hour flight) away. After being thwarted by the weather for several days, we finally made it! Her new family is wonderful – an older couple who lost their dog a few [...]
Finally, a New Foster!
It’s been a long month. This was my first time teaching at the University of Colorado, and I have to admit, it was much harder than I expected! I’m glad I planned not to foster last month because I think it would have put me over the top. Anyway, the month is through and we’ve [...]
He’ll Be Back
So it was the biggest news of the month, yet it’s taken me two weeks to blog about it. Why? Well, it might have something to do with the four or five books I’m juggling right now. It might have something to do with circus preparation (my hobby is flying trapeze, and our circus is [...]
Oops!
So it’s been a bit of a circus at our house. Bill and Max have had their friends, Lucy and Madeline, over. We’ve never had four dogs (plus two cats) in the house before, and it was wild! These guys just never stopped playing. Anyway, we were on our way out to dinner, and I [...]
An all day affair
So here we are, sitting in the waiting room at Colorado State University. It’s my first time bringing a dog here, and I’m surprised at how similar it is to a human hospital. The waiting room is full of sad but hopeful faces, which are punctuated by the occasional outbreak of tears. This is obviously [...]
A Chicken or a Duck?
Yesterday morning I awoke to find snow on the ground. The dogs and I had the same thought: “Really? Isn’t it almost May?” Bill could care less about snow; in fact, he really likes it. But Madeline and Max on the other hand, the white fluffy stuff is something they could do without. After getting [...]
No News Is Good News
I’m happy to report that the past week with Max has been uneventful…sort of. I stayed up with him all night again because he was breathing funny, and the next morning he had yellow snot coming out of his nose, but I think he was just having “sympathy sickness” for the cold I was suffering [...]
An Enlarged Heart
It’s been a rough week. I was excited to welcome Madeline, a previous foster, back to our house for dogsitting. The timing seemed perfect because Max was just about to hit the one-month mark after his heartworm treatment, meaning that he could begin to do a bit more activity. I thought everyone would have a [...]
Max-i Pad!
I just couldn’t help myself – our latest foster Max is currently living in a giant crate that can only be donned the “Max-i Pad!” Check back a few posts if you want the whole story, but if you’re just here for an update, I’m please to tell you that Max’s recovery is coming along [...]
Boston in a Bag
Believe it or not, my foster dog who almost died on me two days ago was most certainly feeling good enough today to get some fresh air. We’re only a week into his heartworm treatment so he’s still got quite some time until he can move around, but that doesn’t mean he can’t get some [...]
