HALLOWEEN QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:

 and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

Dearest friends,

Mona's Mommy here....


This morning Sandra, Josh and I took the pups to their new home until the they get adopted. 
It was even more than I expected. Petey, Baron and Megan got acquainted with the other puppies right away. There a four other puppies at the rescue and it took no time at all for them to get to know each other, even if only across the wire for today. We also met some of the adult dogs and had a tour of the property and spent hours talking to Bill. One thing that was said, that made both me and Sandra very happy, was that we can call whenever we wish to check on them and part of his contract when he approves every adoption is that the adopters keep in touch with whoever gave them up. He also said as long as the pups are with him, they keep their same names which was very special to us. He and his son are with the dogs 24/7. They get exercised 5 times a day and our pups will be with them for 4 or 5 months.

Where is Spirit? The family that adopted Pattie Cakes decided to take her too, so Shelby will be able to see them after she is well again and we can watch them grow.


Sandra called Thursday night and said that Shelby has been coughing up blood and breathing very heavily. Since Mona and I had to do Pet Fest yesterday, Saturday took Shelby to Dr Briles. It of course is the heart worms. He took blood test, gave her antibiotics and steroids to take. In too weeks she goes back to see if she is strong enough to withstand the heart worm treatments. If not all we can do is keep her comfortable. The good thing is that her heart sounds clear but now she has to be kept completely quite and not excited. So the pups leaving now had to be done for her own good.

Sandra asked Dr Briles how much it will cost to make Shelby whole again. Including the heart worm treatment, spaying, removing her damaged eye and skin treatment we are looking at another $1200.00. Since we only had to give the rescue $450.00 we are back up to $550.00 in Shelby's Pay Pal Account. Bill's group is called GULF COAST BULLY BREED RESCUE and they have a Face Book page  www.facebook.com/profilEnd-Dodfighting-in-Houston

Update....just now as I was typing this, Bill called and said the pups are already with the other puppies and he thinks they will be all good for each other. He has taken pictures of them and will be posting their pictures of Face book tomorrow.

I can't tell you how happy we are for the puppies and even if we should lose are beloved Shelby there are 5 healthy puppies, who wouldn't be here if it wasn't for what her Mommy did to bring them into this world. I can't believe that God would let us get this far to lose Shelby but we leave it in his hands now.

Mona here........

Mommy is exhausted. She overdid it yesterday but we had a wonderful time anyway. Since Mommy wanted everybody to know about the puppies and Shelby, tonight's post only a has a few pictures from Pet Fest.



Me and Mommy just sat around, waiting for ATDR booth to get setup and then I hopped right in to get down to business. Mommy took 238 pictures yesterday but believe it or not didn't take one picture of me kissing. I wore my little blue jean dress until they changed me into my Halloween harness and cap.

 This little girl didn't want a kiss but she asked if she could hold me. She asked if she could adopt me but Mommy snatched me right back and said no way. So she asked her Mommy if she could take one of 10 or more fosters that were there instead.



 I don't usually like the Dallas Cowboys but this little girl and I had a nice long chat.



They also had a costume contest for each  breed there and this little fella won his class. Can you tell what me was. He looked good enough to eat except for the chocolate. 


This is one of the clowns that was running around making balloon animals (mostly wienie dogs) for the kids. Mommy was shocked when she found out she was man. He wanted to buy a kiss but instead of kissing me, he gave Mommy a kiss and said thanks for being a rescuer.

 Sorry but that's all for tonight. Mommy is hurting all over and says we need to go take the cure before bedtime.

Love, kisses and {{{huggies}}}....Mona
