Funny Doogle Updates

Just a couple of funny Doogle updates in picture and movie:





And a short movie of Olliver, who is whining and complaining as usual:

Critters

Today was a pretty uneventful day, except that the dove flew off while I was cleaning the enclosure. And she flew like a champ, I'm not worried that she thinks she is a duck anymore!

Talking about ducks, here are a couple of pictures. They are changing their feathers now:







Then we have the 4 opossums. The lil fuzzballs are all teeth by now LOL:



And Doogle feels right at home here. Besides him liking various pieces of laundry, he is making great progress. He eats well, is almost housebroken, got his first 7 in 1 vaccination and is currently dragging a light leash around so he can get used to it. Since he is a very scared little dog, I want to take it easy on him without enabling his fears, which is not easy.



And not to forget these darlings, 7 of them:




More pictures of Bumble, the raccoon, soon!

Bottle-feeding Raccoon Baby and Doug and Doogle, Chihuahua Rescue

Doug and Doogle are still up for adoption as of the date of this posting. They are still showing every bone in their tiny bodies, but have a good appetite.

Doug and Doogle most likely have spent all their lives in a small cage. Doogle has deformities on his hind legs that are typical to this kind of confinement. Both dogs were covered in parasites and anemic as a result. The dehydration and emaciation brought them to the brink of death.

Somebody had a heart and threw them over the fence of the local Humane Society. I foster them at the moment and am looking for a suitable home for those babies.

They do NOT need somebody who pampers them and puts them into a pink purse! They need somebody who addresses and takes the dog in them serious, not the scared human baby looking eyes. They deserve to be a dog, not a human!

Go to petfinder.com for more information on how to adopt them.

Doug and Doogle, Chihuahua Rescue

I went to the shelter this morning to take pics for petfinder.com when I saw these 2 chihuahuas. Both were skin, bones and fleas. Unbelievable infestation. They could not sit for a second without itching. Ticks too. Most pitiful picture!

Somebody had thrown them over the fence at the shelter. I took them home, cleaned them up, gave them a Capstar (to get rid of the fleas), plugged the ticks off one by one and trimmed their already curled nails.

Now they are squeaky clean, don't itch anymore and are eating. Both are unneutered males and have the sweetest personality.

I'll foster them for a few days, get some fat on them and then put them up for adoption:
