Doug and Doogle

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:

2 out of 5 are still around. Hopefully they'll make it. Those little ones stress out so fast:

Drive by Duckling Drop Off

I was praising the day as "a day where I did not get any new animals in" too early! Not that I am complaining, not at all, since it was nobody else than our very own Stephenville Police Department who called and asked me if I could and would take care of some baby ducklings that somebody dropped off.

I know why I want to grow old in this town. I don't know of any other place where police officers care about the little critters too. They actually dropped those babies off at my place. Kudos!!!

A couple of the ducklings look exhausted and I hope they make it. Here's a first picture:


This morning I decided that most of the animals I had here don't need to be caged anymore and that cottontails and doves and starlings and ducklings shouldn't have a problem getting along, so I turned them all loose in the enclosure. Here is what happened:

The 4 babies are thriving marvelously!
