Delilah the magnificent and things just keep rolling along...

Wow - hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since Miss Delilah had her surgery!
Some real angels stepped in to pay her bills and I can't say thank you enough!

Delilah is doing really well. Her leg is healing nicely and the surgery scar is slowly healing up and getting smaller. She *IS* a bit naughty though - last week she decided that she was bored and that pulling out her stitched by herself might be a bit of fun...
Thankfully the way that she was stitched, the bits underneath kept everything together and we didn't need to re suture. Naughty girl!!!

Delilah is an awesome girl and I adore her. She is very affectionate and as she feels better, she is getting even more demonstrative with head butting, purring and asking for attention. I am really attached to her and will be so sad when she finally goes to a permanent home.
But she isn't going yet! ;o)
Two more weeks of healing and we will re-xray her and probably spay her at that time.

She is a lovely girl - and I am so grateful for the support of Project Jessie people. Without the financial side of it we really, really couldn't do this type of work.

Thank you to everyone who stepped up and helped her - you are angels every one!!!

The past week has been brutal for the program.

Besides dear Delilah, we took in a tiny, senior dog named Peggy Sue who has mammary cancer. She was sitting all hunched up, shaking and wet at the side of the road and was found by a caring young lady. We aren't sure yet if the tumour is best left alone, or if it would be better to remove it. Peggy is about 10 years old - not ancient for a little dog, but not super young either. Depending on the type of tumour we will have to decided the best course of action. She is a sweet, active and lovely girl though and she ADORES her foster mom - Lia. We will give her the best help we can.

Then there are the 7 bunnies that came in, and the kittens that need some extra diagnostics to find out why they aren't doing well, and the dog with the broken leg that might need amputation, and Kizmet whom the vet is recommending would benefit from a neurological assessment with a specialist...



Things are busy - but Project Jessie is doing some wonderful stuff.
Thank YOU for making that possible!
