Could this little girl be any happier??? Here she is with her new mom Karen and sister Minnie.
Bella is now a well muscled 10 pound bundle of love!
Thank you Karen and family for all the tender loving care you have given and taking Bella into your home.
What a crazy week it has been! Having two rescues at the same time isn't easy. Katie is now Bella and she is settling in to her new home beautifully.
Winston spent the weekend with me. My friend Deb and I took this happy little fella for an outing to Glitterfest. Glitterfest is an artists extravaganza put on by one of our favorite shops Whimzy. For those of you out there looking for the unique, Glitterfest and Whimzy are the places to go.
To experience Glitterfest shoot on over to the blog of the very talented Stacey Steimle. She has put together a slide show of that spooky day. Be sure to watch to the very end, and you may see someone you recognize.
As you can see Winston loved every minute of Glitterfest, especially wearing his Halloween hat. Thank you to the Glitterfest Crew, the artists and the shoppers who made Winston feel like the guest of honor. At Glitterfest Winston met his potential adopter and is currently doing a sleepover.
I am now the Fairy Godmother to two wonderful dogs. Today I paid the bail on Katie at the Orange County Animal Shelter. So now we wait the 1-10 days for her to spayed so that I can pick her up. Then off to Lido Animal Hospital to get her vet check and spa treatment to get rid of her mats.
Katie was picked up as a stray. She is about 1 year old. Petite, pretty and playful describe her.
She will be looking for a foster/forever home as soon as she is released.
* Winston Update* Dr Earl says he is good to go into his foster/forever home. So hopefully that will happen quickly for this charming fellow.
I have been leaving messages for the President of the National English Toy Spaniel Club and we have been playing phone tag. With luck, they will be able to help out with the financial aspects of Winston's care.
* * Winston Update Update * * Today (Saturday) I was able to talk to Bruce, the President of the National English Toy Spaniel Club and it looks like they will be able to help out.
Also Winston met a kitten at Lido Animal Hospital and he was very disinterested. He did not even want to sniff the kitten. So it looks like he will be able to go to a home with cats.
Well, I am a Fairy Godmother again. I picked up Winston from the Orange County Animal Shelter today. Winston was labeled as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, he is not. He is an English Toy Spaniel which is the first cousin of the Cavalier. They are affectionately known as ET's by the people that own them. I also have a friend that refers to her ET as a Cavalier plus.
Winston was found as a stray, so little is known of his previous family life. He is about 3 years old and as charming as can be. Right now he is with Dr Earl getting his health evaluation so he will be ready for his forever or foster home.
Since I made a decision to bring home Winston even though he is not a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Southern California will not be helping out with his adoption fee and medical bills.
Despite this, I knew that I could not leave Winston there. I also am not willing to take him back to get a refund. So I have accepted the responsibility for Winston. He maybe a "mistake", but I do not think so. I would gladly bail him out again.
Right now, Winston needs a Team to get him healthy and ready for his foster or forever home. If any of you can help out and want to be a part of Team Winston, please email me at dogslovemoe@aol.com.
Thank you to Brenda for going to the shelter and paying Winston's bail when I couldn't. There is a really good story there and I will tell it to you later. The Orange County Animal Shelter has you pay and then they neuter the dog that you adopted and you pick them up 1 -10 days later.
King and I were very busy last week. While King's foster family was on vacation, I was able to take King to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Southern California's August Meeting.
King had a wonderful time greeting all of the members that attended. He is very social and made sure that everyone felt welcome. He was especially pleased that it was Movie Night. That meant that there was popcorn and hot dogs for everyone. And yes, everyone included King.
He also had a photo session with Rocky McDonald who took many wonderful pictures of this happy boy, including the one above. Click here to see more pictures from movie night. Thank you Rocky!
And what a wonderful home it is. King has 2 - 12 year olds, a Cavalier named Lola, and a rescue Greyhound, Rocca. Rocca came from our good friends at SoCalGal. If you are looking for a Greyhound I would highly recommend that you contact them.
King was so busy making up for lost time, that we were not able to get a good picture of him in the yard. I think that the time in the shelter and at Lido Animal Hospital added up to about 24 days! So he was thrilled to be able to run in the outdoors.
He will have his next blood test this coming Tuesday, if his anemia is improving, he will be ready for his forever adoptive home.
King is now well on his way to recovery with a foster family to give him what he needs to make it complete. He is very grateful little dog. Especially since August 1st was his euthanasia date at the Orange County Animal Shelter. I am so thankful for all the love and support that has been given to King to get him to this point, you are appreciated.
To those of you who applied, thank you so very much. John & Wendie live close by so King will be able to continue to receive care at Lido Animal Hospital until he is fully recovered.
The American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Trust still has adoption, volunteer and foster home opportunities available. You can contact Molly at cavalierrescuetrust@comcast.net or me at dogslovemoe@aol.com.
