And our biter's adopter wants to keep him, so had our attorney help me put together an addendum to std contract, and mailed that off today.  Not my first choice there...

Looks like IL Shorthair Rescue reported Hunter as found safe and sound!!  Let's hope the same for Evie soon.

Good, I've been emailing with them, but they never told me to pull him off my website yet.  When they go missing then GENERALLY circle back first.  So staying in the general area is important.  When times goes by, then they start widening out of the circle for survival.  I hate it when they go missing in cities, cuz there are so many places they can end up, where you can't always get sightings.  It's plain exhausting!  Today, I'm trying to merely BREATHE.  We are getting Levi outta Haws tomorrow, temp foster home.  They went to meet him last night and he barked the entire time.  Lovely, so today over lunch I had to zip to get a bark collar, incase he's gonna pull that at foster home.  Gander Mtn was all out; lovely on to the next place. Loaded up on Bella food (OH! may have the right place for her to check out next weekend, quiet place, no kids!), and food for Levi, then to get more tick prevention, and another folding table for my show Sat, cuz I cannot get ahold of Penny who borrowed my other one for the DDB Chain off; and another pinch chain for new guy!  Got new foster home in IL, so she's gonna take one of the IL dogs for IL Shorthair Rescue next weekend; found out IL Reggie was not heartworm tested, so gotta get him in for that fast.  On the way to work, stopped by a foster to grab left over crates; so basically I been on the run since 630AM, and this weekend is a jammed schedule; I just hope I get time to get the dog hair off my floors sometime!  BREATHE......        

I had to go back and read again just so I didn't miss anything LOL. So I can imagine your head must be spinning. It's good though that you keep focused and go forward..I would not be able to.

I am glad to hear that..thats good!!!!

Poor Evie for him to be running like that he must be all confused. 11 months already!!! That is a long time but good ending's happen all the time, you never know. I keep him my thoughts and always hope to see some good news posted about him. Thanks for the update!

Been a busy week for our trainer....first Arabelle the little beauty from Alabama was beating up on her foster brother.  Then Nimda, and her dog agressive tendancies.  He gave both fosters the power to handle both dogs, so now the continuation of training/correction begins.  Arabelle actually moved to another foster last night and I spoke to her foster dad this AM and all is going well.  They are considering adopting her!  Whoohoo.  Jefferson Co Max had a sleep over Sunday night with potential adopters, but when Max  decided to take himself goose hunting Monday AM and approved adopters had to hunt him down, the husband decided it was too much work, and we got him back!  Excuse me?  This dog came in as a stray, what makes the guy think he's gonna stick around first day?  Distractions, distractions, tehe.  Got lookers everywhere, checking them out as fast as we can.  Show last Sunday got called due to rain storms.  Rain date is Sept 16th.  Have two coming in this weekend to shuffle around.  And I heard from Bella's new mom, it has not been going well for Maureen or Bella since she went home. Bella regressed, until yesterday!  Then she started coming outta her shell.  Maureen wants to donate the tent crate and toys back, cuz Bella does not use them, so I'll stop over Sat AM and check in on them, take the Amazing Miss Miracle!  My ole Maggie  goes for her anal gland removal on Tues.  Then both incoming dogs have alter appts on Friday. So I will be on zoom speed for at least another week.  Luckily have enough volunteers to get the two down to us this weekend.  But since I'm closest to the vet office, I will probably drop both off and p/u next Friday, then get them dispersed out.  Talked to a lady interested in the black/white 5 yr old female sitting in vet clinic, they want to go meet her.  So left word with vet clinic this AM for heads up.  Since the dog was not legally surrendered to my rescue yet, that vet clinic can make their own deal.  They  WILL spay her before she goes out.  And I am happy to do follow up on adoption.  So, there you have it; until next time!    

Been a crazy week already. Got Jimmy and Wilhelmina in on Sunday. Jimmy bolted out the door of his foster home Monday afternoon, stopped to play in a fenced yard with some kids, and the kids let him out the yard cuz the dog was not theirs! Then some guy grabbed him and dropped him off at WI Humane, who wanted proof of rabies (Luckily we had that!) and charged us $50 "Dog at Large" fee, and we bailed him yesterday. So I swapped Willie for Jimmy last night. He sorta reminds me of when Tracker came in. He is a big field pointer, he can hop my fence if he wants, so until I can intro him to Mr. Ecollar he is on check cord inside my fenced yard. Maggie had her anal gland surgery yesterday, all went well, cept for the healing. Arabelle had to be at the vet this AM, cuz her spay suture sight was all buldged out, now blistering! $68- later, come to find out she is having allergic reaction to the sutures inside! So she's on antibiotics. And that leaves rescue about $20- in the check book! Willie and Jimmy go in on Friday for their full vet work, so I'll have to borrow rescue mo money. Nimda goes home Friday, and I still have alot of lookers. So hopefully this stalemate on adoptions will fly by us. This weekend I have one rescue running his first hunt test, so want to be there for that; and Woofest in Kenosha, sharing tent space with IL Shorthair Rescue. Hopefully will get a day to clean my house somewhere. Got another sighting on Everett yesterday AM. He keeps stopping by this guy's house, where I left the food FOR bait. So talked to the guy about corralling him so we can come get him, he keeps saying gotta get chemical imobilization in; I did have an offer, but the trickery involved would take forever. There was one mention of seeing him running with coyotes. I do not believe that, because of all the calls we have gotten, no one has seen him with a pack. He DOES go to other dogs in yards to play. But I believe he is in that area above lake Michigan, either staying in the woods or in that open door garage on Jim Moran's property. To chemicall imobilize him, we'd have to know where he runs to, cuz the sedative will take 5-8 mins to work. He could put on miles in that time; sorta like tracking your down deer! If he would drop immediately, he will be dead. I still think the only way we'll get him is if someone traps him in fenced yard or garage or kennel. Then we can send Josh in to get him.
