Does anyone read this blog?

Tasha got bitten by a snake. Pebbles had an allergic reaction and Harry had a problem with his tail all of this resulted in three visits to the vet. We are sure nobody is reading this let alone one good Samaritan. Why do blogs exist? People are more interested in sleazy blogs than helping some worthwhile dogs. Oh woe is the human race! All of our problems continue and our mom is practically broke dealing with us. She is making severe economic difficulties and there isn't a soul to help her. We are doing our best but we can't help getting ill and we need to eat. Oh by the way one more puppy was dumped in a shoebox in the rubbish tip. Harry has also had a cyst removed from his neck and thankfully it wasn't cancer. Pluto managed to grab a bag of broken glass that some idiot left on top of a work surface and it fell on his paw managing to sever a main artery. What a to do that was. he was rushed to the vet and had the vein clamped and stitches and is now running around with a lampshade on his head. He is not very pleased with all this and neither is mom. So you see we cost a fortune and it never stops. Nobody seems to want the new arrival although she is a pretty little thing. Mom will have to leave her at the pet shop to be given to any old Tom, Dick or Harry. mom hates to do this because most people don't have conditions here and their kids want the dog but the novelty soon wears off and they then abandon them. The aren't usually vaccinated or looked after properly. She feels terrible about this but cannot accept any more dogs here due to financial blight. We will all be sad to see the little critter go. She was dumped in a shoebox and left to die. If anybody is reading this then please make a comment because Mom is desperate!

Pointless Blogging

Well mom has finally got fed up with the blog site and says it is all pointless-- firstly no one reads it and second, if ten people only read it you can bet your back paw that not one of them wants to help out here. So we are saying good bye and our lives will remain private from now on. After the vitamin UK thing and Bonnie dying we have all lost faith in humanity including mom who incidentally is one of those humans. She says most humans are indifferent or rotten and for every million that exist there may be one good one. Thank God our canine world isn't like that!
Well bye from all of us.

Pebbles

Well thank God Pebbles is going to be okay her tumour was benign. We are all disgusted here with www.vitaminuk.com The medication for Bonnie never arrived and they don't answer mom's e-mails. She promised the medication to another diabetic dog if Bonnie died first. They just ignore us and we all thought they were angels! We still think about Bonnie a lot and Mom goes down to her grave with flowers and talks to her. Jessie is limping badly with arthritis. We are all hoping she won't get paralysed like Bonnie-- she is too young for that. She will probably need a dog cart in the future and Mom said it is best to start looking for one up for donation now because humans are very mean and not a lot of people want to help us here in Brazil. We are in a forgotton corner of the world. Nobody seems to visit our blog site and nobody leaves any comments. Mom says it is because humans are a self centred bunch of beings that don't give a second thought to small rescue centres like here. We are so lucky to have a Mom and Dad who care.

A Sad Day

bonnie passed away on Thursday 6Th November at around 4.00pm. She was very weak and had problems breathing properly. We all cried and her mom too. We all feel so lost without her and empty. The house is a void without her. The medication from England never arrived. Mom tried so hard to save her, but she lost the last battle. Pebbles in the meanwhile has had a tumour removed from her side and we are all awaiting the results of her biopsy to know whether, or not she has cancer. Mom says she cant take anymore stress due to sick dogs, but we all know that if Pebbles is ill she will do everything she can for her. Bonnie has been buried with flowers on her grave, but we don't have the courage to go and look just now!

Tequila

Oi,
I'm Tequila, abandoned in 2006. I seem to be a purebred Beagle. I arrived outside the property and cried for three days non stop until they let me in. I heard the others saying how good it was here and decided I wanted to be part of that. I was very fed up trying to hustle food on the sidewalks and avoid cruel humans all day long. I love my large kennel and I am a professional hunter of small animals.


No news on the methyl cobalamin for Bonnie yet. It is taking a long time to arrive.

Woof! I am Pluto. I was found at four weeks old dying by the side of the road. My family including my mom were all dead in a plastic bin liner near by and somehow I managed to survive. I crawled out of the plastic bag and sat waiting by the edge of the road for someone to save me. I nearly ran out of time because when my new mom arrived and scooped me up she took me straight to the vets who said I was seriously anemic and had an edema due to malnutrition in my throat. I was covered in sores and scabs due to the malnutrition and I had the worst case of worms my new mom had ever seen. The vet said my body temperature had started to drop as I was in the process of dying. I had diarrhea for three days and couldn't eat solid food. I was given medicine by drip for three days and then started on some mushy type of food. I missed my mothers milk and I weighed less than a kilo, but I decided I must survive to tell my story to all of you out there.





As you can see now I am pretty and weigh over twenty kilos. I am extremely naughty and get to sleep in the house. I chew up everything I can specialising in dish cloths and rubber sandals. I have learnt to sit and lie down but I only do it when I want to.

Sol


Hi I'm Sol which means sun in Brazil. I am full of energy just like the sun. I was abandoned and ill and came to live here. After a course of strong antibiotics I got better and helped Jessie to recover as well. I played with her when she was paralysed and gave her motivation to get up and chase me by biting her ears. I love Jessie a lot she is a very gentle and maternal dog. She made me very happy when I first came here. I am the smallest dog here and now share a kennel with Pluto who you will meet in a while.


Hello, I am Harry. I was abandoned in Copacabana Rio de janeiro and brought here to stay five years ago. I was the first dog to arrive. I was so thin I couldn't lift my leg to pee and I was nearly bald with mange. My mom and dad treated me and I soon became the spectacular specimen you can see above. I love Misty she is my sweetheart even though she is totally mad.I love to play with her and am never far from her side. I don't socialise with Emmy much and once bit her on the ear for taking liberties with me.

I am well trained and can do all sorts of tricks. I guard the property in a very professional and orderly manner. I love my mom and dad a lot and my life here. I have a lot of allergies which is why my previous owners dumped me in the streets. I had a lesion on my liver and could only eat chicken and rice for the first six months. Now I am nearly better, but still suffer bouts of allergic reactions at times.

Hi, I am Tasha,
I have been here four years and now weigh in excess of fifty kilos, of course, I was much lighter when I first arrived in fact I was only 21 kilos. I came here with another male dog who was found along with me. The same breed, but slightly different colouring. Nobody knows if he was my brother or my mate. Sadly he died during the first week from a tick related disease. He was just too thin and weak to survive. I was the lucky one and you can see how magnificent I am today. I love my large kennel and adore hunting all the small animals that pass through my territory. You can see what happened to me when I attacked a porcupine. I have done this three times and will continue until I finally get the better of one of them. I don't like other dogs too much, but I adore my human family. I love to sit on the sofa with them and kiss them with my huge wet sloppy tongue. I also love to howl and I am the lead vocalist here!
News Bonnie.
The methyl Cobalamin is in the post it should be here any day now. We are all praying to the big doggy in the sky to help her walk again.

News Harry.
Harry suffered an ear infection and also had his teeth cleaned this week.
