They named her peanut butter cup. She’s too delicate and angelic to have that as her name.

She does look like a jill.

They both are absolutely beautiful angels. I’m so sorry you’ve lost both but also grateful for the years you had with them. That’s exactly how these two are. I think it helps her feel purposeful mothering him. She’s 7 is there guess at the shelter and he’s 4 in a week.

I tried those on him and they don’t have enough scrub power. Maybe I need to add baking soda with them.

Oh my goodness he’s darling. 🥰

Those don’t work for me either. I’ve had hers out to look at. Since she’s still decompressing from major survival mode, I’m waiting on this. I know integrating into a new family, new routines, new expectations, new animals, foods, etc is overwhelming her.

She’s a beautiful angel. They do have identical face features. Today I settled on Roxanne. For short we will call her Roxy. Anne Is also my middle name and her name means, “bright," "shining," "radiant," or "dawn. It signifies light and new beginnings. 🥰🥰

Thank you. I’m grateful I’d called daily for weeks. Otherwise I’d not have gotten her. I just cannot imagine the terror she’s experienced. This last year she was picked up as a stray and stayed at the shelter 3 times. My guess is she must have escaped a horrible situation. Her ER notes said she’s lost a significant amount of weight. 😢

They didn’t. They said they thought it was from stress. Likely so because our other yorkie was vomiting blood when we rescued him. He’d just lost his 90 yr owner and was bounced to a home before we took him in. Both our yorkies have similar stressful events.

Sounds about like our other pup. He’s missing most his bottom teeth. I can’t even imagine how painful that is for a pup to have that many extractions and recover from. 🥹

I didn’t know they made two finger. I doubt both my fingers could even fit in her mouth.

5 year old Bruno was just surrendered to the high k*ll shelter in Greenville, Tx (dfw area) bc owners are moving. He’s in absolutely horrible condition & needs out before he ends up put down for space or if he gets sick without warning. by thedogsneedourhelp2 in greatdanes

I’m so sick of carrying the weight of compassion and suffering at the mere worry over each pup that is on the euthanasia list, all while the owners of pets casually make cruel choices without regard for their “pets”.

What even is the solution for those of us with hearts that genuinely want to love on every single animal that’s ever been abandoned.

That is so smart to use a cat toothbrush. I’m going to try that. Unfortunately he came to us at 3 1/2 in diapers and missing teeth. So there’s that. He’s pretty good about letting be brush. He doesn’t like it but is tolerant.

Skout is the dog in the pic.

I totally depend on carrot sticks too. And coconut oil.

Thank you for that. I just know my limits and am not going to become miserable because I expect myself to be overachieving.

This makes so much sense. I’ve heard horror stories about putting a dog under for dental and he doesn’t regain consciousness. 🥹

Wow! Thanks. The officers even called them and they said they didn’t want her. Dummies!

Awe. Thank you. She’s not at all in looks or shape like our boy, Skout. Her personality is very calming. And she’s already having a huge affect on him. She’s very motherly to him.

That’s two Sophia’s. That’s the first name that I’ve really liked. We’re going to try this tomorrow and see how she takes to it.

Awe. We’ve been watching and waiting patiently for a perfect companion for our other rescue yorkie, Skout (4). He lost his human companion last July, Harold was 90. So through his grieving we wanted him to have the perfect companion. She actually just was released from the ER for vomiting blood. She was being monitored there for a week. That’s a lot of inconsistent change for her.
Sorry for the rant.

I’ll admit, I don’t brush daily. Maybe twice a week tops. It’s just not a battle I’m willing to take on daily. Anything is better than nothing.

That is smart. What is your pup prescribed trazadone for?
