Happy Tenth Birthday, Dalton!

 Dalton turns 10 today...or more, but he won't tell us, so we'll never know! We, the vet, Pawppy and I all realize he's likely a lot older, than what his rescuers told us. back in 2017.

Anyways, we'll celebrate today, that is the important thing, right?!

He is still not 100%, mostly not eating, and acting very anxious at times. Sometimes he'll eat a bit on his own, or he will lick the juices off a bowl of wet food, otherwise even most treats are shunned. even the ones he loved in the past. 

If in the course of a day he hasn't eaten anything much, he gets hand fed...

At least he no longer need a belly band for incontinence issues, and he does normal #2's.

Thanks to all of you for your POTP, care and concern, it helps so much to know others are rooting for him.

I have the fixings for a doggy cake, but I think I might hold off on that until his gotcha day, at the end of September. Hopefully by then he will be able to enjoy it.

Here is his 'card', the image was taken last Saturday at the Dogust pawrty at the pet store. We'll show the others on Selfie Sunday!


Dalton is  thankful that he was found and rescued, and that soon afterwards he found his forever home.

Petcretary and Pawppy are thankful to have this little dude with us, even though he has a lot of issues, due to whatever happened to him in his 'before' life...and Benji, we presume is happy to have this (little) big brother in his life!

We are thankful to be able to join up with all the others, full of thankfulness, at Brian's Home Forever.

Time For Sunday Selfies

Wow, the week went by quickly! And all of a sudden it's Sunday! Which means, it's time for Sunday Selfies! Yesterday we got packed into the car and off to the pet shop we went. They had a Dogust Pawrty going on...we got pup cups, other treats and a bag full of swag...we let petcretary carry the bag, BOL!
For some reason we just gave our pup cups a cursory lick, and then walked away...other times we licked them clean. In a few days it will be Dalton's birthday, a given one, because he couldn't tell us when he was rescued what his real BD was. So 'Dogust 'works well for him.

Dalton could use some POTP and pawyers, as he isn't feeling 100% the past few days.
Last week, Petcretary found a dead and mauled tree rat in some tall grass...not sure when exactly it was 'deaded', and the next day, Dalton began to shiver, pant, not wanting to eat, and he began dribbling too. He seems quite almost disoriented at times., and wouldn't use the doggy doors at all. VERY slowly he is getting better, he will take a few bites of his noms, then *she* has to feed him with a spoon. He accepts it, and doesn't vomit afterwards. Yesterday he took several bites of his regular food...and he even scarfed down a large treat at the pet store. After several doses of a homeopathic remedy for 'tinkles', and another for UTI's, he isn't incontinent anymore, and he is even using the doggy doors again. Phew. Now to get him to eat properly on his own again.

If this continues for much longer, he'll have to visit the vet again, where we'd been on July 27th...

Benji is fine, so if anything happened from that dead tree rat, he was not affected. Of course he is a lot younger and larger than Dalton.

Anyways here are our selfies for this week:
I'm walking back to the stairs to go inside...after I did my doggy business.
I'm feeling sad, because Dalton won't play with me...I want him all better.  (Petcretary used AI to remove the very ugly background in the original of this image...)

Our Ussie, when we got home from the Dogust pawrty.

We're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies! We've been doing selfies for 12 years...well, that is to say we and those before us...Have fun and join in! The Kitties Blue are our wonderful hosts, each week.

Update: 
Update: The folks at the POTP blog sent us this image, how kind!

In Loving Memory Of Seal

 This past Friday, Seal, a well known and much loved kitty from Brian's Home Forever, made it know to her Mom and Dad, that she wanted to join Brian and all the other angels in her family...

She sure was a most beautiful kitty, and she will be terribly missed, not the least of those missing her will be Simon, her brother who was rescued with her, as wee kittens back in 2026.

Here is a memento made to honor her memory.

Seal, please visit here and leave your message of comfort, if you have not already done so.

This artwork will be joining Caturday Art...

In Loving Memory Of Katie Isabella

 On Saturday, the well known and much loved by all, Katie Isabella, could no longer endure the pain and other health concerns, and she gained beautiful wings as a new angel at the Rainbow Bridge.

This was rather unexpected, as her mom and all of us thought she was improving, and none of us, let alone her Mom saw this coming. Of course her Mom Carole is devastated, and needs our support, the support that Blogville gives its members when they are feeling sad, (and yes, even in the good times).

So if you can please visit her blog, and leave your comforting messages, if you have not already done so.

These mementos were made to honor Katie's Memory.

Donkey was one of Katie's favorite toys, and so it is included in this image...

In Memory of Sunny (The Book Of Barkley)

Sunny, the beautiful Golden pup of LBJ from The Book Of Barkley, recently left for the RB after a short battle with cancer. Cancer is such an evil scourge...And what makes it even sadder is  that Sunny had only just turned three years young. I know her peeps are missing her so terribly right now.

Anyways this memento was made to honor her memory:

Sunny
