Update

The abandoned Pug has been improving. We have been giving her small and frequent small meals of rice, chicken, scrambled eggs and cottage cheese. Dog food too. She is still skin and bones but when you pick her up you can tell she has more substance to her. I imagine it will take time until she looks normal. I will update with pictures when she does.
We have wormed, de-fleaed (poor thing was FULL of fleas) and given her a bath. She has stopped her nervous pacing and seems to be making herself at home.
She is really sweet and likes to be held. She follows us everywhere right on our heels.
We really like her.

This is so Sad




I have 2 beautiful Pugs that I may have talked about before. Abby and Lola. Lola was a rescue. My son and I saved her from traffic. We found her owner who seemed so happy to have her back only to turn around a couple months later and ask us if we would go get her out of the Humane Society..said she had been there a couple days...turned out she was there for over a week!
But anyway that is not the story I bring to you today. See the pictures above? We went to let our 2 Pugs in this afternoon and this poor starved Pug came in with them. At first I thought I needed new glasses. Then I just started crying. This gal is absolutely starved! Here's the kicker..Someone had to physically put her over our fence. I am confused...Maybe someone dumped her and she came to be starved and then someone else found her and thought to put her in our yard knowing we already have 2 Pugs and soft hearts. Or do you think someone just couldn't take care of her anymore and thought to bring her here before she died. It looks like she has had pups too in the recent past. She also has a white patch over part of one of her eyes. Cataract?
I scrambled some eggs..(thank God for the chickens) mixed them with some cottage cheese (thank God for the diet) and gave them to her along with dog food.
What else should I do for her as far as food goes? I am worried about her eating too much too fast. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I will do the best I can to take care of her even though we are stretched to our limits with dogs. (She makes 8) and it will be a bit before we have the money to take her to the vet.
This road is notorious for dumping unwanted pets, but I have never had someone actually put one in my yard.

I am Sad! Don't Leave Me!

Wow! I just lost 3 followers of my blog in one day! Was it something I said? Do I smell bad. Is it my flannel PJs?
Did I scare you with my ghost stories? If so I am truly sorry. I just wanted to throw them out there to see if any others have had experiences like mine. I have lived in this house for 13 years now. No ghost has run me off. If I had to categorize my ghost it would be a class 1 harmless prankster. A child even. And Hey! It's not that I go around looking for this..it just happens here.
Is it my new Top Spots Tip jar? Hey you don't have to buy one! We have a terrible problem out here in the country. People dump their pets out here. Like they are disposable pieces of trash.
Just about all of us on this lonely stretch of road have taken some in. Our shelters in this area are full! I had 10 dogs and now am down to 8 as I did find homes for 2. It costs a lot of money to feed them all. Not to mention the vet stuff. I thought maybe the TOP Spots might help to fund some dog food.
I work hard on this blog. I update frequently. I post pictures. I try to keep it interesting.
Not that you will be here to read this..you left me. I am sad.
Maybe I shouldn't take it personally. But I do. I mean 3 IN ONE DAY???
