Just where did this week go???

Boy this week has gone quickly!

So - first an update on Archie. He does have a fracture on his pelvis and tail, but the good news is that the bones are not misaligned - so it is basically a matter of time and enforced rest and he will heal fine without surgery - pheww!

He did have a visitor while at the vet - a lady and her kids who were touched by his story and wanted to meet him. Keep your fingers crossed that but they are considering adopting him...

On Wednesday I took a dog from her foster home over to the vet for spaying. On the return trip however, my daughter fell in love with her and we ended up having her here for a few days. As you can see from her picture, she is a gorgeous girl! Absolutely great with kids but unfortunately, she wasn't very impressed with our current dog. Since Mollee weighs in at 92 pounds and Sugar is only 22 pounds, it wasn't a very good fit.

Today however, Mollee was adopted by a great couple. They live on a rural property with access to a river (and we know Mollee likes to swim because she kept trying to get into our little swimming pool! ) They are retired and have no other animals. A perfect spot for her and I hope things work out.

The hardest part of this program is the "match-making" - matching the dog or cat to the family or lifestyle that will work for everyone. Quite often people fall in love with a face - but we know that the animal's personality won't work with their lifestyle.

Don't adopt a couch potatoe if you want a marathon running partner, and if YOU are the potatoe, that adopting a hyper dog is not going to guarantee that you will get in shape.

I do think that there is a furry someone for everyone - but sometimes the best new dog for you is a cat. Or maybe even a bunny.
