Black Dog Urgent

This dog so full of sores, lumps, mal nutrtion, eyes full of pus, has just turned up at the bakery again as I paw this. He came there the first time Christmas Eve and then today New Years Eve. I think he is trying to tell us something. Mom and Dad are going crazy. They want to take him to the vets and find out if he can be saved. We need more money because he is so debilitated he will be staying in a vets at least a week or more and will need tests etc. If, he has a chance. It may be a PTS case. I hope not. Please help us sort out this terrible case. It ranks as urgent. Now that he has eaten at the bakery twice he probably will return. Dad will bring more photos of him tonight. We can't bare to look it makes us want to cry. The dog is walking half dead and half alive. We feel so terrible for him. Lets try to help him. At least if he is curable then treat him and try to find a home for him because here mom and dad are packed to capacity. They need to  build another kennel and get proper funding. God help them!

Guga

Well he is settling in nicely and is very affectionate with mom and dad. He stays close to mom and dad at the moment but today at seven in the morning he did a bit of exploring on his own.

He is missing all four fangs and other teeth as well. He has a lump in his throat, so will go to the vets on Monday. His street name from all the people that knew him during years on the streets was 'Guga', so mom decided to stick with it although nobody likes the name. Guga is a Brazilian tennis champion. He responds to his name and comes when he is called. He eats like a horse and is thin. Mom can feel all of his ribs. He is covered in scars and callouses. He has not had a bath because mom says this will  lower his immune system and she prefers to wait until the vet sees him. He does smell a bit!!!! We all think he should get a good perfume. I am going to post a pic of me soon as this is my web site to, although I will be keeping a low profile. Now I am working out a plan to help his girlfriend and a way to build another kennel here. I am lying on the sofa thinking about it right now.

he finally came home

Today the big brown lab finally came to his furever home. He seems to be happy and relaxed. Mom and Dad changed their minds and put him with Mini. She was a little afraid of him at first, but has accepted him well. Mini is a very quiet dog and does not like to plat like Sam. Mom figured that Mini would be better with him because she is quiet. He has hardly any teeth and won't be biting anyone. Although in my opinion he looks like a nice old lab. He has not barked yet, so we have not heard his voice and he has a little trouble with his back legs getting up and down from a lying position. He appently spent a lot of years in the streets so should be able to tell us a few tails. He is so quiet that Pluto never noticed him.

Isn't he handsome!


We all want to know where are his teeth? he hardly has any at all.


Here he is with dad in the kennel and you can see a very nervous mini behind.


Here he is getting to know the play area at 1.30 he will be coming out to play off the lead with mini and mom and dad. Dad is home today until 5 o clock trying to build a house for him. He doesn't know that mom cut his head off yet!


Here you can see his battle scars. Dad said he took some bad beatings because of his lack of teeth, but still did not give up. He must be one very determined old dog.

Emmys new Year Resolutions

Hi Emmy and the gang have resolved to find a way to rescue the Big Brown Lab. They all want him and his girlfriend to move here and spend a peaceful old age with them. We need to work on this. first we need to build a large kennel because the empty chicken house would not be adequate. This week there has been torrential rain and mud slides so it has to be a strong all weather construction and this costs money. Secondly they both need vet treatment although they seem to be in reasonable health for their ages and living conditions. Both have gained a lot of weight since dad started to feed them. They depend on him and if he sells the bakery then they cannot be abandoned there. 
As you can see he needs his eyes treated as they are also weeping a small amount of pus. This can be a sign of tick disease, so he would have to be tested for this and have a general blood test too. He needs vitamin supplements, vacs, and a whole lot of TLC. His mange is improving after two injections and he has four more to go. Fortunately he is a calm and non aggressive dog so dad can inject him in the street.
