This morning I had to take Mike to the hospital for an echocardiogram. Because it was so cold outside 22 degrees, I decided to put Journey in her kennel instead of taking her with us. I also put her blanket in there with her- big mistake. It was the first time she has been separated from us since arriving here over a month ago. Let’s just say the condition of the blanket when we got home, showed us she has high separation anxiety! It was a big blanket too! Not no more- it is just shredded and there isn’t enough shreds left for me to feel comfortable about her not having some of it in her belly.

I am watching her closely for signs of distress and I gave her some mineral oil with her food tonight. Silly dog!

On the kitty front, the meds still haven’t arrived but on Monday I will be taking Porter and Anders to the humane shelter and hoping they will find a home from there. Porter has been here for quite awhile and willingly lived in a cage all that time. Not a good life for a kitty. I have given him every opportunity to NOT return back to the cage and he goes nuts if I leave him outside the darn thing. I hope he can find a loving home, where he is the only kitty and can have a proper life. He was one kitty left behind during an eviction from a trailer park. He is a sweet boy but he needs a life not in a cage.

Here he is on his short visits outdoors meeting Zara:

This is Anders- someone ditched him on a dead end road and he was rescued by a good Samaritan:
