Greetings to everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and took some time to relax afterwards. Everyone here is sooo excited about our first major snowfall. All my huskies (and my GSD) had a rolling good time in the snow drifts. Clea spent most of her time on her back playing and the rest of it chasing her tail. Shelby's big day is coming up- she will be wearing her first harness and pulling a sled for the first time. I can't wait to see how she does!
On other topics, I was just given another foster dog. When will people ever learn? (Most likely- not ever!) He is a gorgeous purebred grey and white husky. Whatever his story, he comes to me full of roundworms (obviously did not use any heartworm preventative) and so much coccidia (a parasite that supresses the appetite and steals nutrition from the body). Poor little guy is so thin, I can see his rib cages move every time he breathes, Today he wanted to be outside exploring so badly, but everytime he spends more than ten minutes outside, coat or no coat, he starts shivering and shaking from the lack of insulating fat in his body. However, despite his circumstances, he does not guard his treats/toys/food or have any signs of food aggressiveness. What really angers me is that someone took the time to love him and train him, then abondoned him to his fate. What a throwaway society we live in! If something or someone stops fitting in our perfect little lives, we just throw it/them out with the garbage.
Well, enough of my soapbox for the day. Its snowing and its gorgeous, so we had all better get out and enjoy it before it all turns to water and much. Uch!
