These are my two special needs boys. Aren't they just the sweetest things?
Tracker Jack has become my constant shadow. I had no idea he would be able to move so fast, but he trots along behind me wherever I go.
He is going to have a gorgeous coat. It is amazing how thick it is starting to feel.
He has been out of the puppy mill 3 months now. Boy- has his life ever changed!

Here you can see that Jack has a crook at the end of his tail, as if it had been broken at some time.
This is the fur on his back. See how thick and deep orange it is getting?

He wagged his tail!!!
Tracker Jack stood there and looked at me and there it went back and forth, back and forth, then stopped. I reached down and gently picked him up trying hard not to cry.

I took Tracker Jack back to the veterinarian's office to have his Distemper combo shot today. She confirmed that he does have ring worm, a fungus that causes skin problems and can be contagious. I have been treating him for that so already he has shown marked improvement. It took the test nearly two weeks to show results.

Jack's breathing has been louder today and he has not had as much energy as yesterday. He does not rest well unless he is in my arms. I think he likes nothing better than to sleep in my lap, trusting me enough to watch over him, even with his belly side up. As you probably know this is a dogs most vulnerable position.

Timber was especially interested in seeing where Tracker Jack had his tooth pulled.

If I were a shepherd,

If I were a wise man,
I would do my part;

This show should have been renamed to the Hot dog show. It was quite hot and steamy.
I entered Tucker in the 'cutest tail' class. Trevor in the 'best adopted dog' class and Trevor and Tucker as 'Hairy Potter' and 'King Tuck' in the best costume class.
Timber was too busy trying to be the winner of the nonexistent 'tough dog' class to enter her in any real classes!

I just heard from Jill that the two Pomeranians (one of which was blind) that we crossposted about from the LA kill shelter have been rescued! Woo HOO! Doing the happy pommy dance now ;0)
Also the Pom in the Memphis kill shelter has been pulled from the euthanasia list (thank you Alice!!!) and will be neutered this week.

Trevor has a new toy. This is not a big deal to some but to the TREV it is a very big deal. Trevor has never had anything that was really his.
No real home. He came from a hobby breeder. No real Mommy, he was turned over to foster care at 10 months. No real TOY- he is blind and everything he became attached to was grabbed away.
Well Trevor now has a new home, a new Mommy and Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07155028889403241296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531189.post-1064580140908475562003-09-26T07:42:00.000-05:002003-09-26T07:44:36.570-05:00But What about the ears?

The little young female from the N.C. puppy mill was adopted this week. According to my mother who spoke with Mary Lou, she has gone to a wonderful couple that has no problem affording the surgery she needs on her luxating patellas.

The 'Eyes have it'
Ever wonder what your dog can see? Is it true they only see in black and white? Why do some dogs chase toys and some not? Why are some breeds better at hunting and some better as 'lap dogs'? I found a lead to a television transcript from the blind dog message board that explores these questions. If you have a few minutes - check it out at :

Hurricane Isabel
Hurricane Isabel blew in more than wind and rain last Thursday. Not even considering the oncoming storm we set out to learn more about animal rescue. I drove my mother and sisters to Concord, NC to visit with a wonderful lady that fosters smaller dogs for the animal shelter.
We had come to ask about a small male Pomeranian that had been so badly abused that his spine was Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07155028889403241296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531189.post-1063625559179335312003-09-15T06:32:00.000-05:002003-09-26T10:35:13.800-05:00Flying Dogs!
I was recently asked for information about flying with your dog on a commercial plane. I was glad to share what I had learned when I went to pick up Trevor, so I thought others might be interested. Here is my reply:
As far as flying goes - I flew U# Airways with Trevor.
When I made my ticket reservations by phone I reserved a pet ticket for him. It was 100. one way.

The Poms trip to Petsmart---
The Ambassadogs
It was Sunday afternoon and the three Poms and I had the whole day to ourselves. About four o’clock I decided we needed to go to Petsmart to pick up animal food. I brushed each pup, wiped faces, put on their collars with ID tagsElainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07155028889403241296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531189.post-1062357704162824512003-08-31T14:21:00.000-05:002003-09-26T10:51:10.006-05:00
Trevor's Story
It all began with a look on Petfinder.com one morning.
I happened to notice that a dog rescue in the next state had the most darling little female Pomeranian pup that needed a home. She was about the same age as my two Pomeranians, so I decided to send an email inquiring about the details.
