Thank you! They took Athena to the vet and he did a bunch of blood work so they're waiting for the results. Right now he thinks that they need to adjust her thyroid medicine because of her being so lethargic. Sis says she's still just laying around the house, though she's eating and drinking. I'll let ya'll know when we find out the results of her blood work.

Thanks for the update. It's good that Athena is eating and drinking. I hope that an adjustment in her meds has her feeling better soon. Please keep us posted.

I will. I've been driving sis nuts, lol. I call up and first ask about the baby whose been having problems with allergies and then ask about Athena. She told me earlier that all I did was call and ask about the baby and the dog, don't even bother to see what she's up to, LOL.

I'm posting this in the cat and dog thread since I'm not sure all of you read my gripe in the gripe thread. I need some help with this. I need ideas. The mayor of our city has decreed that after an animal has been in a shelter for 5 days it is to be euthanized. 5 DAYS!!! I feel like I HAVE to do something to save these babies. Keep in mind I'm limited physically in how much I can walk, drive due to discs degeneration. So can someone give me some ideas to put a stop to this? To me this is very urgent. All ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Twinkie, how about calls and letters to the editors of local newspapers, calls to local TV stations, including local cable company community access channels? Could you contact local pet stores to hand out flyers to customers who surely would be pet lovers. Our city hall has a hot line to leave messages for the mayor. Even if you do not have a hotline, you could ask all your friends to call your local mayor's office and protest (put the number on flyers if you do them). If each of those people ask their friends etc etc it adds up. Could you contact a local chapter of PETA or the ASPCA or Humane Society and ask them for suggestions? I agree this is an atrocity and I admire that you want to personally do something to try to stop this. Good luck and keep me posted. Do you have a paypal account? I for one would be willing to contribute to pay for flyers or whatever would help. My son just adopted a wonderful little dog from our Humane Society. He had been there 3 weeks. It makes me so sad and angry to think that if we had been in your city he would have been killed after five days and would have been lost to us. Parker's pics are in the archive here on May 26. Go get 'em, Twinkie.

Twinkie, read this: click here Here's some ideas from the bottom of the page: What can I do to help save the animals in the City of Buffalo? There’s plenty City and non-City residents can do to help: -Join the Legal Beagle Dog Licensing Drive and have your dog(s) licensed. -If you’re a resident of the City of Buffalo, call your community leaders, and the Mayor. Write letters. Let them all know mass euthanasia of the City’s stray dogs is an unacceptable solution. Tell them you demand other options. -Volunteer to work for the Legal Beagle Licensing Drive. Call the SPCA’s Volunteer Coordinator, Kim Zolnowski, for details: 875-1361, ext. 223. -Make a donation to the SPCA, 205 Ensminger Rd, Tonawanda, NY 14150, and tell them you’d like it placed towards saving City of Buffalo animals. -Call the City Animal Shelter to find out other ways you can help them. Contact Anne: 886-1503. -For more information on the SPCA and its role in helping City of Buffalo animals, call the SPCA’s Gina Browning: 875-1631, ext. 221.

Good news on the Athena front. Today I went to pick my neices up and for the first time in weeks, she came trotting out to the gate and met me! She was her old self, waiting to be greeted, followed me around, walked out with us when we left. They've been working on readjusting her meds and this is the first time that she's shown improvement.

I've been so happy about it all day. Sis said this afternoon she went out and chased the puppy around the yard (playful way.) I just want to thank ya'll again for the good puppy vibes. Athena has been part of the family for so long that I can't imagine what it'd be like to go visit and not have her there. She really had all of us scared with the way she was acting!

To tell the weather, go to your back door and look for the dog. If the dog is at the door and he is wet, it's probably raining. If the dog is standing there really soaking wet, it is probably raining really hard. If the dog's fur looks like it's been rubbed the wrong way, it's probably windy. If the dog has snow on his back, it's probably snowing. Of course, to be able to tell the weather like this, you have to leave the dog outside all the time, especially if you expect bad weather. Sincerely, The Cat

Pamy, those pups are adorable, especially them *helping* with the flowers!! They are just too cute when they are pups. I wish mine were little again - Well without the whole potty training and chewing up the furniture aspect LOL

Pamy, How do you ever let them go? I so admire you for fostering pups. I wish there were more like you, but I don't know if I could do it. I don't think I could give them up!

Thanks! I have to admit, these will be hard to give up, but they usually get adopted within 2 days to loving families so I can live with that. If we kept them we wouldn't have enough room to foster more!

Pamy, I have a couple of exercise pens that you could have if you could use them.. they are four ft high and one even has a fancy "door" in one of the panels. My dog show days are over and they are just hanging out in my garage.. War.. for a second I read that your niece trotted to the gate

I agree with everyone Pamy. You and your family are just incredible to foster these adorable pups! My hat is off to you! Sea, I thought the same thing...that War's neice trotted to the gate. And, her sis chased the puppy around the yard!
