Well, Mom has just had her hands full lately!! work has been nuts, the rescue has another fund raiser coming up..Pugtoberfest...on Oct 10 in Shepherdsville KY from 9-4. That has kept her very busy! But she also has not been feeling super happy lately due to some issues with a friend...boo!
The good news is that Rocket Pug..(above) is now medically cleared from Demodex!! yea!!! whoo hooo!!! he had his neuter done today and is going to meet a family this weekend that is very interested in him!!!
on a very sad note though..it was a tough time in rescue recently when we took in little Thea. Badly neglected and abused, she came to us with 3 legs (one she had tried to gnaw off because of a horrific skin allergy that was clearly driving her nuts....and it got so bad it had to be amputated), she had major skin infections, numerous breast tumors, alot of cancer in and around her lungs and heart, an enlarged heart...and on and on. Mom went to the vet to meet up with a KPR volunteer who had taken her for the appt so that she could get some pics. Well, in talking to the vet, and seeing the xrays...it was decided there was no hope for Miss Thea...so with the loving hands of our Mommy...and Candy( a wonderful loving KPR Foster Mom)....tiny, helpless little Thea went to the Rainbow Bridge. Mom did not want to post the photos of Thea..they are very hard to take...especially when we have no recourse legally against the previous owners. Unfortunately the county she came from does not prosecute for animal cruelty.
So you know, things are rough all over..the economy...the wars...the cruelty to animals...we all know how many things are negative out there. So Mom says..let's all focus on being nice, helpful and get as much Puglove as possible...oh and a few extra treats to your Pugs never hurts...oh..uhmmm...well, ok...MOM did NOT say that...the Pug Circus thought we would put our stamp on this post too!!!!
on a personal note...we sure hope the Posse's Daddy gets better very soon!!!!
That is a sad story, we were sorry to hear about Thea. Glad to hear the good news for Rocket pug though.

Poor Thea! At least she went over the bridge surrounded by folks who loved and cared about her and not the awful ones that caused her such needless suffering! Grrrr.
ReplyDeleteWe did our part by going to the Animal Rescue Site and voting for Kentuckiana Pug Rescue in the Shelter Challenge. We are trying to get out the word and hope everyone goes and votes cuz we are pretty sure Kentuckiana could use the prize money. Best part -- it is free to vote! No affiliation, just trying to get the word out to help one of our favorite pug rescue organizations.

Poor Thea!! Her story and pictures on the book of faces made the momma cry a lot. We are very sorry that she could not be saved, but we are eternally grateful that she crossed the bridge surrounded by love. THe world definitely needs MORE Peace, Love & Pugs!!! =)
