Maggie May has gone home

It's sad here today. Yesterday we drove Maggie May to Salem Oregon to her new home. What a great home it will be, we are sooooo happy for her. Maggie's new family consists of 4. Kindra Cade, Jordan and Jacob. They all welcomed Maggie May with open arms.

Maggie May road the 4 1/2 hours in her kennel very well, not a peep. She rides in the car very well. When we arrived we could see that she was frightened and bewildered, undeerstandable with a new place and people. I am sure that she will be fine in a couple of days

Maggie, we wish you all the happiness in the world. Seeing these dogs land in a great home is what makes fostering these little souls so rewarding

Maggie May has great news

We are very happy to announce that Maggie May has been adopted. She has found her furever home in Salem Oregon and be living with a family of 4.
We will be driving down to Salem tomorrow, April 30th to deliver her. Her new family is very anxious for her to arrive. Even though Maggie May has only been with us for 2 1/2 weeks we are going to miss her very much. We wish her the best, happy trails.

MAGGIE MAY IS FEELING BETTER

Maggie May is beginning to feel pretty good after her surgery last Wednesday. She is under doctor's orders to not jump and run etc. She is feeling so good it is difficult to slow her down. The weather is crappy today so it's easier to keep her indoors today, so that's good. She is leaving her incision alone so we won't have to put the dreaded cone on her. Hopefully the stitches won't begin to pull so she will continue to leave the area alone. Her stitches will dissolve on their own, so after a couple of weeks all should be well without a vet visit.
Maggie loves Jasper and continues to get in a dog bed with him every chance she gets. She is beginning to play with toys more and more. She loves a stuffed dog she dug out from the toy box. Maggie has discovered the swimming pool cover and walks towards the middle, she is not heavy enough to make the cover sink so water comes through though.
Will is continuing to be a gentleman, he seems to realize Maggie is not 100% and that he needs to be careful around her for awhile.

We are sure going to miss this little girl when she is adopted.

Maggie May goes under the knife

This morning Maggie May (not Maggie Mae) went into the vet for her spay surgery and microchip installation. We were worried as she only weigh about 6 lbs. Everything went well and she is now back home. She surely isn't feeling too well yet. Maggie has been hanging out in her kennel all afternoon trying to stay out of the line of fire from the other dogs. She is under doctor's orders to refrain from running, jumping, wrestling, swimming, etc. Well, she can't do anything that would be fun, for 10 - 14 days. I hope we can keep her fairly quite as she is a real wiggle worm, and I guess wiggling is also on her CAN'T list. Tomorrow will be a better day for her, I'm sure.

I think by Saturday or Sunday Maggie May will be back to her old self. We are beginning to see a lot of changes in the way she acts. She has become very good friends with Jasper.

Will hung out today on the new Molly Mutt bed laying in the sun. We haven't been getting much sun lately so he seemed to really be enjoying him self.

Will is also a snoop. Now that we have completed the concrete strip along the fence bottom he now finds knot holes or cracks between the boards to see whats up on the other side.

Will did take another trip to the centennial trail for a walk on Saturday between rain showers. He did OK, but he is much better when he is the only dog going. On this walk he was with our other foster Maggie May and Jasper.

Maggie Mae settles in

Maggie is really beginning to feel at home in her new foster home. She has become fast friends with fellow foster Will and foster sibling Jasper. She is playing more and more but is not into rough housing. She will chase a ball, but doesn't bring it back yet.

1st photo is Will, Jasper and Maggie Mae on their new Molly Mutt bed 2nd is Jasper and Maggie Mae in their favorite cat bed.

Yesterday during the brief SUN STORM we had Maggie Mae was outside and began to bark and bark. Barking is unusual for her so we looked around to see what the cause was. We have a couple of ceramic deer in one of our flower beds that Maggie happened by and noticed. I think they kinda scared her. The deer are pretty much the same size as Maggie Mae is.  Maggie barked and carried on for 5 minutes until we picked them up and put them away. We also have a mirror in the hallway and she barks at the little dog in there sometimes.

It is very difficult to get good photos of Maggie. She is always on the move and we usually just get a blur of where she was. Maggie's nose is chocolate in color so facial shots don't usually show her features too well.

Maggie continues to do well with her house training. She does do her business most times when she goes out..if the others in the pack leave her alone long enough. Maggie's foster mom is working on her petfinders bio so she should be in there soon. In the meantime, if anyone has questions about her, leave a comment here.

More about Will tomorrow or Saturday.

Sunshine Today

Today the sun came out for around 4 hours here. Maggie Mae loves it. She runs in the grass and is beginning to try to play with the rest of the pack. Maggie is very small (a little over 6 pounds) so she still is somewhat timid when around the other dogs, especially Will, who, as I've mentioned before, is loud and a little aggressive towards her. We are waiting for Penny or Molly to lay into him. It should do him some good and hopefully there won't be too much blood or torn skin to deal with. He even pisses Jasper off sometimes.

Maggie is beginning to get into the toy box and do some playing with the toys. She likes balls and hooves, but best of all she likes going into the closet and get one of these to drag around.  
Maggie Mae will be going to the vet on April 24th to get spayed, her H/W test done and microchip inserted. Must be a busy time for the vet as we have to wait over a week to get in.
