Thx for posting the pic of Sisters new dog Klaas! That was so sweet of you to show me!

Sister! Now that is news! Tell me all about your new baby! So happy for you and the dog. Xoxo

She is a beauty Sister. What will u name her?
Has age been determined yet? How exciting

[Sister]

They think she is between 2-3 years old.  She weighs about 70 lbs.
I have named her Belle after the southern Belle because she is coming from Alabama.
A friend of a friend found her for me -- she came in as a stray at the shelter in Athens.
Folks are volunteering to drive different legs of the long trip.  I should have her on Sunday, March 10th.  It would be sooner, but because she is crossing state lines, she must be quarintined for 10 days.
I am so excited -- it is time.
Klaas' husband suggested Baby Cakes for her name -- so very cute.  But I think I will stick with Belle.

She surely is a gorgeous lady. I know the wait to get her will seem painfully long, but I am sure it's gonna be worth it.

I am so happy for you two!

I love it!

[4 Donks]

Lumps is still in the sling and unable to stand alone. I bought an engine lift with a spreader bar and it works well and if he goes down I can use the lift to get him back up without having to wait for others to come help me. Beside all the other things he's getting..I have to draw up 50cc's of Peptobismo and give it to him 4 X a day (nothing like pink drool)  if this doesn't slow down his diarrhea by tomorrow they will try a more aggressive drug but that can cause him to lose his appetite. The vet thinks he can get Lumps back to his old self but it will take time and if he loses his quality of life he will have to be put down. Prayers still needed. I've parked the SUV in the barn and have been spending the nights up there . The other donks think it's treat time and bray constantly and then the dogs start barking and I bet this makes me a really popular neighbour.

4Donks Continued Prayers that Lumpy's health improves. I pray the vet is right and he can get him back to his old self. Glad you have it worked out that you can get him up right away without having to wait for others to help.  The nights sound noisy for sure.  Continued prayers & hugs.

[MuffyBee]

Thank you for updating us on Lumpy's condition, 4 donks.  I got up this morning  hoping you could give us some good news.  It sounds like you are giving him a lot of love and good care and are also mindful of his quality of life. I hope he will gain the strength he needs and can get back to his old self.  I'll continue to keep you and Lumpy in my prayers.

Thank you 4Donks for taking the time to update us on Lumpy.
I know you presence gives Lumpy much assurance that he will be alright.
I am sure you like to be a good neighbor, but I am glad you are putting Lumpy first and foremost.  But then, that's how you are made.
Still praying for Lumpy to be his old self soon!

Poor Lumpy!  I hope the pepto works. I am so proud of you for doing everything you can and thinking about his quality of life. You are an angel!

Thinking of Lumpy and 4donks and her furry family

[Bearlyhere]

JSM and her dad - our wedding day 2 years 3 mo the ago.

Hey, I know those people, that's good ole what's her name and Papa!

 

[Bearlyhere]

Sister....Bless you for adopting and adult rescue from Alabama. 

My sister now is in some kind of a blue boot that allows her to be more mobil and this is good news. Can stay home and pay more attension to all my animals. Now that we discovered that Bailey is deaf, looks like this is his home. Jazz has adopted him as a play buddy. Mac doesn't play (old age ) and the other guys are too small and might get stepped on or somehow hurt.

The donks are doing fine and the lumps on Lumpy's side don't seem to be growing (keeping fingers crossed ) Can't wait for warmer weather so the donks can graze in the pastures. They are not going out of the barn much and they need exercise and give me a break in mucking out the barn..I'm getting OLD!!!!

Keeping all the monkeys in my thoughts and prayers.

Good to see you, 4D!

Hi JSM, CC & Monkeys,


Does anyone have any tips on door solicitors??

Homeowners are not answering landlines, because, of caller ID, and cell phones.
This is why, IMO, that the door to door, solicitors, are stepping-up there game,
and being obnoxious. 

One cockly, solicitor, told me, she registered at the Police Station, (good for her),
it did not intimidate me, I told her, go away, or I'm calling and shut the door.


I disabled the doorbell, (from ringing), by putting a stiff piece of cardboard, between the hammer and the cylinder, on the doorbell, gizmo, (on the wall),I hate to do that, (
in case), anything, important comes up.

Thank-you

An older male friend used to answer the door nekkid (at least he said he did).

 

   ::justice2NJ::

Thank-you, OMG...Thanks, Bearly

Maybe you can get one of those long shirts that make it look like you are nekkid!

 

[Bearlyhere]

4D, you and Lumpy are in our prayers here.

Today is the 21st birthday of a friend's child.  Jack died when he was 3, the Dad, Frank has been an immense help with easing me through my brother's death.  Please keep this family in your prayers.  He has done a marvelous job of keeping his son's memory alive.

I hate to change out of my Valentine's Day clothes.  Every day should be Valentine's Day!
