Updates

Just a quick update the new ones here and the ones waiting to come...

Brew, that lovely, 13 yr old rotti, who was rescued by the landlord when the tenant abandoned him...was taken to the vet for a check on a sore leg. He has cancer of the bone, the landlord feels responsible for this dog and has bonded with him. He left a message that he would stay with Brew and hold him while the vet helps him to pass. We wish Brew a gentle and peaceful passing from this life, and to send our respect to the man who stood up and helped him.

Poppy the senior cocker spaniel who is living in the bathroom due to serious illness of his senior caregivers is still waiting to get in. The family have been in touch weekly over the past few weeks and have remained unsuccessful at finding any other options for him. He will come here as soon as there is space available.

I lost track of the 28 year old pony "Thumper", who was supposed to come here in late June, his owners have not answered my emails, I hope he is ok and happy. Nala from CAS that Yvonne asked us to take, I think finally died in foster care which I think is better for her than finishing her life here. Kathy ended up deciding to keep the little cat that she was bringing from LAPS (and I do believe her mom may be adopting Mellie who Kathy is fostering as well!)

Murphy is doing ok, he is integrated with the dogs and cats that live in the kitchen, bedroom, and cat room areas. He is still not happy, but he is wagging his tail with me and beginning to bond...I really would like to find him a quiet home soon.

Suzie is still in the bathroom, she is eating and drinking and purring up a storm. I tried to open the door yesterday, in hopes that she would venture out, but as long as the door was open, she just hid between the sink and the tub. I have closed the door again, and she is happier. I think she might be in there for a long time so she is another one that we really need to find a home for as quickly as we can.

Saul and Phil our first of the last new ones, are both doing well separately. They still do not like each other so it is a bit of a juggle to move them around from point A to point B without coming into contact. They are both great with everyone else.

And just a note on Phoebe and Ed, our problem ones....Ed is so cute and I think he is much, much better than he was, while he is still reactive, he is a little less serious in his reactions. Phoebe made me mad twice last night for scaring both Pippa and Cedric, I think she is trying really hard not to be such a cow. It is hard for her, it is difficult to learn to be nice when you aren't, but I think she is trying...it just might take awhile to get there.
