As some of you know, I'm on vacation in FL, visiting family.
Good & Bad: My cousin comes home yesterday with this adorable little lab beagle mix, that she was supposed to socialize before it was to be trained as a service dog. Well the poor thing was full, and I mean FULL of fleas and she had white gums and lots of hot spots. My cousin was told this little girl was about 6 months old. We cleaned her up and decided to report the breeder for neglect. This morning we take her to the vet to get some blood work done, and any meds she may need. Luckily she didn't have any heartworms, but had hookworms and tape worms. She is also not 6 months old but at least 18 months old, and only 15lbs. Well she's got all her meds and is doing very good with being house broken, considering she has been locked in a create most of her life.
Sad: Now fast forward to this afternoon. My aunts 12 year old Rott, was put down tonight. Poor Lady, she was such a sweet girl.
Good & Bad: Then I'm watering and feeding my hatchlings and find that two are missing from their tub! I look everywhere I can, fearing the worst, due to one of the dogs having an apatite for lizards.
Then my little cousin starts screaming, she has found one and it's all in one piece! Now I have hope that we may find the other one.
