We got the gang back together again for booster shots and some quality play time today. Along with our wild litter of seven was Mr. Jaxson, our little dairy cow man who also recently had the good fortune of finding a loving new home. Coincidentally it looks like he'll be all set for Halloween if we can just strap on some fake udders and a cow bell.
Most of my pictures from today seem to be of him doing his best to outrun the other puppies trying to steal his stick. And of course we also mingled with some of our favorite adult pitties today too. Sweet Face did her best to flirt with Joe (first pic below). And meanwhile the lovely red lady, Coco, strutted her stuff on the jungle gym (although she had a tad bit of trouble getting down) and she might have even met a potential adopter!
In July 2009, Buster rescued a litter of 2-week old abandoned pit bull puppies from a vacant house in Detroit, Michigan. After the group's remarkable efforts to revive and care for the waning litter, we agreed to foster three of the puppies--two boys and one girl- until they are ready to be adopted. This is a record of their foster experience.
8/16- Peaches and Big George both ~5 lbs. (somehow forgot to weigh Ralphie amidst 1st day chaos!)
Health and Nutrition
8/21- Energy levels are high. Play times last longer. Meals are spread further apart now, and naps are much shorter. Everybody had baths tonight, and nobody was happy about it.
8/20- Puppies are officially eating just a mix of dry and wet food with a tiny bit of warm water to soften it. No more formula. Ralphie also seems to be eating a little more now.
8/19- Doing well with the eating still. Had a small meal late, around 10pm and that was the first since running out of formula. Nobody seemed to mind. Everybody's fur and skin continues to look healthier and thicker.
8/18- Everybody is eating well, drinking well, and well . . pooping well. Sorry, but it's important info! Ralphie and George really hate the antibiotics, but the good news is that everybody's skin and fur seems to be doing well. Even spotty little Ralphie seems to be looking a whole lot better.
8/17- Keeping an eye on skin condition. Little flecks on Peaches and George, but not much at all. Ralphie is still pretty spotted. Trying to watch him closely for any changes.
8/17- Everybody is eating well and drinking tons of water. Pigged out at morning feeding. Ate most of 2nd feeding. Ate very little at 3rd feeding and then immediately went back to sleep. Giving antibiotics in late morning and again in evening. Food is currently mix of dry, canned, and extra diluted formula.
