BILL ANNOUNCES: Straydog Radio Show covering the events of three days, Tuesday, November 28, Wednesday, November 29 and Thursday, November 30, 2017. This is Bill and Juana here with a report covering those three days. Okay Juana, let’s cover those three days.
 
JUANA: Those three days were very cold. I want to talk about Tuesday. Even though it started out as a cold day, we had enough people to bleach all of the kennels.

It was going to get warmer that day and it was going to get colder over the next few days. Knock on wood, we haven’t seen ringworm, but we bleach the kennels fairly often. It would probably be the last time this year that we would bleach all of the kennels. We just wanted to make sure that we were being proactive and doing everything to prevent having ringworm here at the shelter. The day went well and we had enough people.
We did have a little problem with the pipes in the kennel feeding office. They needed a little repair. We had a backup and clog between the sink and the bathtub. Bill, how old are those pipes?
 
BILL: They were here, when we bought the place in 1994. Were they frozen or did a pipe break?
 
JUANA: No, it wasn’t broken. It needed a little repair. It was clogged and backed up. We have tried to fix it in the past. So this time, Tyler decided to go ahead and fix the whole thing and replace the pipe. That way, we won’t have a problem. He dug the pipe up.

Picture
BILL: Did he replace it all the way over to the septic tank?
 
JUANA: No, not to the septic tank. It was just grey water.
 
BILL: It must have gotten warm.
 
JUANA: Yes, it was kind of chilly in the morning, when we were bleaching. Then it got warmer and we didn’t need our jackets. We were in shorts and tank tops, while we were playing with the dogs. It was a good, warm day. It was the only warm day.

Picture
Wednesday was the opposite. It was super cold.
 
We had a good vet visit and several dogs went to see Dr. James. I don’t know if we’ve talked about Nancy recently. She tore her knee. She was going to the vet to have a TPLO operation to repair her ACL.

Coco has been suffering with an ulcer on her eye.
The doctor doubts that she will be able to see anymore. We have been trying to save her eye, but I don’t know if that’s possible. It looks painful. She’s been on eye drops and medication and she was going to be checked again.

Picture

The same thing is true for Bunny.
She also has an ulcer on her eye. Dr. James said that something was going on with her cornea. He said that with the treatment she’s had, it should have been improving, He thought something else might be going on. He wanted us to take her to an eye specialist. He doesn’t know what’s going on with her eye.

Picture

We also took Bandy.
She is one of our very recent rescues. On Clear the Shelter Day, we took in Bandy and Morty. Bandy had a cherry eye. The doctor has been tucking in her cherry eye to make it look better. The past two or three times he did that; it didn’t look like he wanted it to look. He was going to perform an eye surgery and redo the whole thing that day. You can see her eye. The doctor performed the whole surgery again and this time it looked a lot better.

Picture
There’s Dr. James checking on Bunny. He recommended that we take her to an eye specialist.
Picture

He asked that we give Coco’s eye a little more time.
It was almost there. It was taking longer to heal than he expected.

Picture

We also took Maggie to see Dr. James.
She was suffering with a skin infection. It was a bacterial infection and a fungus. He did a biopsy and got the results and he was able to prescribe the right medication. Her skin should start looking better. She’s an old, old girl. He sent her home with some new medication and some ointment that we would apply twice a day.

Picture
That was Wednesday’s summary.
Thursday, November 30 was another warm, pretty day.
 
Here’s Stormy teaching Hank how to get some treats.

Picture
Here’s Amber2 playing with and caregiving Rosita and Little Big Boy.
Picture
Here’s Larry doing walks. He was bringing Molly and Francis back to their kennel. Molly and Francis are a new pair of dogs here at Straydog.
Picture
There’s Larry taking Sally and Sparkle out.
Picture
Amber1 was about to take Colt for his walk. He knows, when it’s turn and he barks. He is just amazing! He was born blind and deaf and he knows the schedule and the whole routine around here. How we don’t know. He uses his sense of smell and routine, I guess.
Picture
Nancy came back home after her surgery. It went very well. The doctor called me about 6:30 Wednesday evening. Nancy was able to come home the next day. She got a pretty pink bandage and she’s in staying in H2 and doing well. So far, so good.
Picture
BILL: That’s it for November 28 through the 30th. We’ll be back again soon with another report from Straydog. Thank you.

 Last Saturday a family met Ginger at our Adoption Day event we held at the Katy Trail Ice House in Plano and fell in love with her. We did the home visit today and after meeting her two new buddies it was easy to see that it would work.  What a perfect set up! Congratulations to Ginger and her new family. Below are some photos of the home visit.
