It's actually been about a month, but mom just hasn't had the time to get any photos or videos of me in her new car. Mom loves it. She says it's very pretty. Here are some photos of it:
It's a PT Cruiser. Mom says the "PT" is for "pretty cool". It's okay. I had to get used to it. It's very different for me because now I have my very own part of the car in the back: I'm all the way in the back, BUT I have my very own section of the car, complete with a towel, blanky, and a great big window for me to look out of. Here is some video of me looking out the back window on the way to the dog park yesterday:
Mom and dad swear I was talking up a storm before they started filming, but of course being a sneaky Husky, I clammed up as soon as the camera started rolling. I do enjoy the big back window though.
Lucy's pups are on formula to give Lucy a chance to gain weight and recuperate so that she can be treated for Lyme disease and then spayed. Here they are having their dinner.
Mom can't get over how chubby they are, look at them waddle! Still...don't get any ideas mom and dad!
Today I want to pay tribute to my friend Dakota. Dakota was one of my first blog friends when I started my blog. I was lucky enough to have the chance to meet Dakota twice, once when we went to her house, and once at a rescue event. My mom has also become friends with Dakota's mom.
Dakota's mom posted the sad news that they had to help Dakota cross the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. Dakota had been diagnosed with liver failure last February, and was not doing well. Her vets and her loving family had done everything that could possibly be done for Dakota. She is in heaven now free of pain and running like a young pup.
I will remember Dakota as she was in happier days, peaceful, and enjoying her back yard. Godspeed my friend.
If you would leave a note on Dakota's blog, I'm sure her family would appreciate it.
Mom was watching me on the web cam for my day care and she caught several shots of my and my friend Canyon, the black and white Siberian Husky, doing the same thing at the same time.
I'm not telling her we were practicing our drills for when HULA takes over the world!
As you all know, I LOVE PUPPIES! I mean, I like to play with them for small periods of time. I wouldn't want one living with me, so don't get any ideas mom and dad! Anyway, Harnessed to Hope took in two Siberian Huskies on October 17th, and as soon as they saw Lucy, the female, they could see that she was pregnant and quite far along. Both Lucy and her mate Desi were rescued from a puppymill. The man who had bred them gave them away. We're sure he didn't realize Lucy was pregnant, or he would have kept her to sell the pups. Because he didn't know she was pregnant, he didn't increase her food. Lucy came into rescue 30 pounds underweight and almost ready to give birth. She had 7 healthy pups on October 21st.
The pups are growing and their eyes have opened! Lucy is a wonderful mother, and is just so proud of her babies. You can just see it in these photos! She has also been great about letting people handle her babies.
Lucy is still underweight, and due to the worms she has, she has had trouble gaining any weight. She is nursing and has also had diarrhea in the past few days. The pups are now old enough that she can be wormed with Panacure, but she will also need to be treated for Lyme disease and spayed once she is healthy. You can see more recent photos of the pups here.
Lucy's 7 pups will all need the usual puppy care and check ups, and will all need to be spayed or neutered and vaccinated before they are adopted. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
