Ho Hum, ..........

I guess we live a very dull existence here in Hillbilly land. At least in the Summer (No one wants to go outside).


It seems my posts are few, and far between. It's difficult to try to make interesting commentary when nothings is happening.

I guess our big news for this week (actually 3 weeks ago) is our new puppy. We go to the Humane Society frequently to see the smaller animals, take large bags of pet food, towels, bleach, throws, cat litter etc. If we don't take items of use we drop some cash in the donation box. Occasionally they'll have a special needs animal that needs a good, caring, home, .... and we will pay a portion of it's adoption fee, thereby making it easier for someone else to adopt.

Three weeks ago we happened in on this little male Chihuahua that had been brought in by a lady who found him on the side of the road, near death, .... most of his hair gone, flea infested and dehydrated. She didn't know if he was going to make it, .... but she took him home a nursed him back onto his feet, bathed him and gave him food 'til he got his strength back.

She already had other dogs and decided she could not keep him long-term. So, ..... of to the Humane Society he went.

When we saw Joey he was about to be put on a truck going to an animal shelter in PA.
I told Lorri, the manager, that I didn't care where he was headed, .... he was going home with us.

She gladly changed his paperwork and away we went, .... Home, .... to introduce Joey to our other two Chihuahuas, .... Bitzi and Beau.

Joey's growing more hair, almost a full coat by now, and his skin is looking much better. All of the crusty infection is gone, thanks to a round of antibiotics and some medicated shampoo. He's put on weight (about all he needs) and has become best friends with our other boy, Beau. Bitzi hasn't completely come around yet, but you don't want to hurt Joey, because if he acts like his being infringed upon, .... Bitzi comes running and has to inspect him to be certain he's OK. She'll make friends soon.

So, .. there, .... we have a house full of small people, each with their own personality and peculiarities.

We love 'em all.
