Puppies and Olivia Updates

The 4 Border Collie Pups are nearly 5 weeks old. I printed out a flyer and took it to the shelter. Hopefully it will catch some doglovers' attention. Aren't they adorable???

And here is a picture of Olivia. She spends today at the Animal Health and Medical to receive medication in order to get rid of the heartworm larvae in her blood stream. The adult worms should be dead by now, if I understood that correctly.

Spaying is up next!

Olivia, day 9 of her Heartworm Treatment

Olivia has not needed pain medication in a few days now and she feels good. Her appetite still lacks a little, but she's not in pain anymore. She wants to play with the other dogs, but has learned that she needs to stay quiet and then she gets her cuddles and all is good :).

She also came out of heat finally, which helped a lot to calm her down too!

I think Honey is about to start though!! I set up her appointment to be spayed for next week Wednesday. There was no earlier appointment available. I hope she won't start with the "mess" before that!

The 4 Border Collie puppies are doing great too. The only male and runt could grow a bit bigger for my taste, but he appears to be ok, except that he's half the size of his 3 very strong sisters.

They are spending most of their time outside in the sun now, but get hot really fast, so they need a lot of shade too and wet towles to sleep on. They love wet towels. Honey still cares for them, but is totally dried up.

We are going to start the puppies on solids today, this is going to be fuuuuuun and very very messy! I will post pictures later!

Border Collie Puppies

Honey's last puppy was adopted 2 days ago.
She still takes care of the 4 Border Collie pups, now 9 days old, but the milk is drying up fast now. However, her help in keeping the pups clean is priceless!

Olivia will start heartworm treatment this Monday as planned.

Honey adopts the Border Collies

I guess we are going to put the spaying off for a month or so....what an angel she turned out to be. I'm so touched, I cried :).

5 Border Collie Puppies

The shelter called earlier..a lady had brought in a plastic bag she had found on the road. She picked up the bag because noticed it was moving.

Inside: 5 newborn Border Collie Pups.



Took Honey to the vet today. She's heartworm negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so worried that she'd be positive too!

She got her rabies shot, got checked out, but besides an ear infection she's alright! Ready to get spayed soon!

Now that I have the 5 border collies, I don't think I can get Josie fixed nor will I be able to keep her any longer. I have to let at least one of the dogs go, and Josie is up next.

She has all her shots and preventions, is de-wormed, all that's missing is getting her spayed. She has such a sweet personality, I will put her into the shelter during the day at least, starting next week. Hopefully somebody falls in love with her and adopts her and gets her fixed!

Olivia is starting her heartworm treatment this Monday.

Lotsa dog business lately huh?? I love it!

Not the circumstances on how the dogs got here, but the fact that I can actually make a difference
