Sharring the story of Husko the Hero...

Iraklis:
We just had a storm and I gave Tipper the herbs. She did better than normal, so Iam glad for that. It was 85 the last two days and humid today. The dogs had to walk early as Tipper cannot tolerate the year or humidity. The IMS answered back on the Artemix.She said there have been no double blind studies done on it so she cannot say one way or the other if it is OK to use. Not the answer I was looking for. I think I will wait until the next ultra sound and see if it remains the same size, if not I may have to o something. The mortality rate for that operation is just too high for me. Hope you have been having a good time helping at the rescue. I am just crushed by the passing of Leslie's Squirt, she has been on this forum for a long time. Someone needs to start some research and get rid of this horrible disease. Do you ever take the dogs to walk on the beach in the water?

It's been really hot here past few days.
Shelter volunteering is a double edge sword...few good moments...more bad moments...

Hope everything checks good @the ultrasound results!

No beach is within walking distance ,so unless a car is available...really not...

Iraklis:
I guess you could get depressed seeing the poor babies in the shelter, but your help is what will get them thru living there temporarily, and that is what counts. These poor unfortunate babies never asked to live like this, so their future depends on you. You are doing a very noble thing to honor Husko, he would be proud of you. It was very hot here too the last three days, but now a clod front is to come and will be much cooler next week, which Tipper likes better. I hope you told your mom how much she means to you yesterday for Mother's Day. She must be a hard worker to do all she does. Are you not doing the messenger service anymore? Too bad the sea is too far away to walk to. You could attach little cart to your scooter and pull the doggies there! Just kidding!
Patti

in my country you see a lot of people on a bicycle with a doggy cart attached to their vehicle.
or kids in it on their way to school. so maybe it is an option.

Iraklis:
We had the worst storm ever two nites ago. Tipper was terrified. Are you getting any bad weather over there? It seems like the weather pattern of the world is changing. I had to go to the Dr. yesterday and leave Tipper with a sitter and she was frantic when I got back. If I leave her for a few minutes in a room she starts to cry real loud. She has never done this before and I guess it is the disease making her uneasy without me. We live by a huge lake a few hundred yards away, but these are so many geese there that you cannot take the dog by the beach as there is goose droppings everywhere and she does not need a bacterial infection on top of all this other stuff. About how many dogs does the rescue hold? Hope you are keeping busy and that things are off your mind for a while. Hope you have a good walk with the doggies today.

I'm thinking of buying a 'crate' and mount it on the scooter for Lemmy.
Trailer would be dangerous.
btw, Roza went back to her original foster family.It was agreed i wold keep her for 2 weeks.

The shelter has about 130 dogs...during the summer i am scared of what will happen ,as people abandon dogs to go to vacation or abandon puppies they bred because they didn't neuter their pets...

I have not stopped logging in here...it's just that it has become pretty hard&confusing to follow up what is going on on every thread.
Hence the less commenting.

Iraklis:
Will you be fostering any more dogs? It is nice to give Lemmy a different play mate. You would have to make sure the crate was really secure. Is Lemmy calm enough that he would not get rattled from the ride? I just ignore Tipper when she gets afraid of the storms. As much as it kills me inside I show no emotion and go about my business. I sent for Bach's Remedy it is full of flowers and supposed to be good for stress. I never bought it before as it has alcohol in and Cush dogs are not supposed to have alcohol. Now they make an alcohol free one, so I will try it and see if it helps. I read this phobia can be inherited, and that is more than likely where it came from, as I know of no incident that would have scared her into this. It is drizzling here again, we have had 4-5 days of nothing but storms, and I am so sick of it. Hope you have good weather and a nice day with Lemmy.
Patti

I don't know...(about fostering)
We'll see about the crate

Took Lemmy to the shelter to check if he would get along with a dog i like there ,named Ivan. It seemed they would be fine...but mother doesn't want another big&old dog (Ivan is a black ~9year old 32kg male)...
There is another option of a female Husky ,named Iris, i saw at another shelter...she will probably be easier to accept by everyone else in the house (for obvious reasons...).
But Ivan will probably never be adopted...I don't want to see him in a cage any more...

As it is...i want both...and i probably cant have none...

Iraklis:
Maybe things will change and you will be able to get another dog. The Bach's Remedy is for stress. It is made from flowers. It is supposed to work well so I ordered some for Tipper. It is not expensive, I will let you know how it works. The weather here has turned very cold. Hope you and Lemmy are doing well.
Patti

Iraklis:
Yes please do send the sunshine over here! No rain today and that is great. I am going to enjoy the day with my girl. Hope you and Lemmy have a good day too.
