Dublin the Friendly Kitten

I am so glad I decided to take Kerry and Dublin home. They are lovers. When my husband came home Kerry kissed his nose and Dublin rubbed all over his face. He was smitten with them. They are purr machines and purr whenever someone is around. Dublin tucked himself into my husband stomach when he laid on the bed and purred contendedly. We just love them. We have not introduced them to our other cats or dogs as yet and we are keeping them in the master bedroom. They immediately found the scratching post we keep in there and are having a ball. We only put them in their cage while we went to dinner and have left them to roam freely to get acquainted with the house and other animal smells. They will be in there at least a week before we begin introductions or until someone shows interest by paws under the door. They are wonderful, and whoever fosted them did an excellent job. Even in the car on the way home they were sticking their paws out of the cage for my attention. I could not be happier with them. My trepedation has completely disappeared. I will make a vet appoint for them for Tuesday if possible and have them checked out, although they are healthy little guys. I will keep you updated as to how they are doing. The work you guys do is wonderful and helping a lot of pets find loving homes. Its wonderful. I will keep in touch, have a wonderful weekend. Again thank you for the wonderful boys.

Deputy the Singing Aussie

Colleen, I just wanted to give you an update on Deputy (we’ve also taken to calling him Ole Man cause he just seems like that silly sweet old man type). We all meet him at the Oviedo Mall Saturday afternoon and it went well. So we decided to go ahead and adopt him. He was a bit reluctant to leave, I can tell he was well loved on during his stay! He was a perfect gentleman in the car ride home. We all went for a bit of a walk before giving him the grand tour inside. He promptly found one of the dog beds and made himself comfortable. After a short rest both dogs enjoyed chewing away on a bone, Deputy’s wave and snorts when he knows you have a treat is just too cute. He did mope around a bit Saturday but was very well behaved and loved on. We took a trip to PetsMart to get him some special joint/senior dog food as well as some glucosamine supplements. Sunday he perked up a good bit more. Woke up and waved his paw good morning. After a morning romp outside with Kirin, he took a bit of a nap. He seemed to rather enjoy supervising the yard work we did later in the day, he found a nice cool shady spot. He is definitely a very smart dog, often picking up on what I want him to do before I can even say it. Monday he was doing even better. Wagging his tail and waving paws in greeting. Even asked for tummy rubs a few times. We all went for a nice walk each night, waiting till it had cooled off a good bit so he wouldn’t get overheated. He does/did have two hot spots on his sides which I started treating right away. They’re looking much better now and he’s not itching at them. He and Kirin are getting along well, not playing together yet that I’ve seen but not upset at each other either. They’ll lounge around near one another. He’s going for introduction visit to my vet tomorrow morning. I can tell he was well loved and cared for, if anyone at the rescue wonders how he’s doing, please feel free to give them my contact information. I don’t mind at all anyone asking how he is, wanting pictures, or possibly meeting up to say hi to him. J Amanda

Duke the Boxer

Attached are some fun photos of Lieu playing in a lake. Here is a big shocker!!!! He is NOT a boxer/lab, he is about 90% of Rhodesian Ridge back. He has had some temperament issues and very odd behavior which started raising me and Renee's eyebrows that he does nothing instinctual of a boxer or lab. We looked further into it and we found out that he is almost 100% ridge back which explains so much. We love him and he is in good hands. We walk him 3 times a day, I Rollerblade with him, take him to the park about 3 times a week and now we are both running with him since that is what he is born to do. This explains so much for us and now we know what sets him off so we can properly train him and puts our minds at ease when we see him do things irregular of a boxer/lab. So like Cesaer Milan says on one of our favorite shows the "Dog Whisperer", sometimes you do not get the dog you want, but get the dog you need" he is very true. I love Lieu and our family does too. Thanks again for all your help. Here is a link as well from dogs 101 that shows the biography of Lieu and you will see the striking resemblance. Behavior fits perfectly in every way. The ridge is not evident though unless he gets in defensive mode and then it is clear that the ridge is there and the hair goes backwards. You can also see it in the third picture when he is in the lake. His feet, legs and paws are identical to a ridge back, his hatred for cats (you will see why in the video) and the beautiful white stripe on the neck (which many of us thought boxer) He is mixed with something else but next time we go to the vet, I will get a DNA test but make no mistake about it, its definitely predominately a ridge back! :) Have a great day! http://animal.discovery.com/videos/dogs-101-rhodesian-ridgeback.html Warmest Regards, Joseph
