Happy Home for Albert

Fat Albert is doing very well at his new home. Their all in love. I try not to bug the folks that have him. I try to call only once a week. They have given me an open invitation to stop and see him but I do feel I need to stay away from Albert for a few months. Just to be fair to him and let him settle in with his new humans. I have stopped by once but am now going to stay away for a while. Strange how much I miss him. I have had about 15 foster dogs. All of them here with me longer than Albert was. One for almost 2 years...I have never bonded with any of them like I did Albert. I love him. I miss him....GOOFBALL

So Far So Good

Albert is at his new home. I dropped him off on Thursday. I was going to wait until Friday as he had an upset tummy after his heartworm treatment and stay at the vet but....His new family could not stand to wait one more day to be with Albert. I have only called once (that's hard) but he is doing well. He is already looking better. I called to check on him but also wanted to remind them of the little problem about being left home with no humans. They understand and are prepared to deal with it. I offered a kennel but they are going to house the dogs in their very large garage while they are away. Albert has been all over town again this weekend. He was spotted at a ball game along with Alice my Katrina girl who found the most perfect owners a few months ago. I miss them both but am so happy. They were safe and loved with me but now are getting the much deserved attention they long for.

Alice has her forever home, lets hope Albert has found his.

Thanks to all of you who adopt these precious animals.

Albert Update

Albert went and stayed all night with a very nice family last week. He was returned the next day with the husband not wanting such a big dog...The husband called me Friday to see if Albert could spend the weekend with them HA HA. I have been hearing about Albert sightings all weekend. Sounds like he has been all over town with the family. I talked to the husband today and he says Alberts a pretty neat guy. I knew that.

I pick up Albert tonight to take him to Duluth for his heartworm treatment, he has to stay all night and I go back Tuesday to pick him up. I will update as soon as we get back.

Albert has Heartworm and Lymes

Albert was sick last week so I made an appointment for him at the Vet for yesterday. He was no longer sick with an upset tummy but I thought he should be checked over anyway. His weight gain has stopped and he is still a pretty skinny guy. He weighed in at 115. I was going to get him a lymes shot and heartworm medicine. His blood work came back positive for both. Albert started antibiotics last night for the lymes and will go back to Duluth next week for heartworm treatments. He is a pretty healthy old guy so I am hoping for the best. He was a star at the vets office...He could care less what the vet did to him as long as she gave him treats.
Nala and Roggy tested negative...
Nala is now 15 months and 126 petite pounds.
Roggie is 3.5 years and still about 10 pounds heavy at 135. Roggy goes back for another thyroid panel in a couple weeks to see if his medicine should be increased.
My dogs never get junk food. Yesterday they had 4 McDonald's burgers each.
Keep your fingers crossed for our "Fat Albert"
