A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Where am I??? (We are just back from the shelter after surgery for spaying.)


I'm a little tottery on my feet! In fact, I feel as if I've had some pot-laced brownies, or something like that!


Resting on Goog's and Melissa's porch after a slow and short morning walk around the yard. They say I am not supposed to run and play for about 10 days----that will be hard!


The menageri in St. Cloud, minus one other cat.

Yesterday when I picked her up, it seemed as if she had the surgery just a couple of hours before! She was so loopy and staggery! But the lady and I lifted her into her travel crate in the back seat of the truck, alongside Molly, whom I brought with me to perhaps be a calming influence---she seemed to do the trick.

She managed to walk around the yard briefly and slowly, peed a lot, and then walked back into her crate which I had brought out of the truck and put on the mat in front of the trailer. After 6:00 pm last night, I gave her a bit of water and some dog biscuits, as per instructions, to see if she could keep them down. She wolfed them down, and kept them down all night. She slept in her hut near my bed last night, and seemd happy to go in there as soon as I got her up the trailer steps....I guess she feels as if that is her home!

This morning, she has eaten a good breakfast and had some drinks, taken a walk around the yard to do her stuff, and is now sleeping here on the porch on a blanket the kids put down for her to use. She is much more like the dog who found us a couple of weeks ago!

Today I need to call a vet and make an appointment for a checkup and to get some heartwom meds for a dog her size. I have a list of several in the area who will do a primary visit for free for adopted pets----what a nice thing to have available! Several are right here in Kissimmee next to St. Cloud. She has had primary worming (I dont think she needed it, but that's routine with strays) regular shots for whatever, including Rabies, got a tatoo somewhere I can't find yet, and is registered. All that, including the spaying, was just 60 bucks! Amazing!

We had some early morning rain which was very welcome, but not nearly enough to help with this drought season. Now the sun is back out, the humidity has gone down, and it's in the 70s---perfect! Later on I will put her in her hut in the trailer with Molly and go grocery shopping.

Happy Friday to all!

Dinah is a very pretty dog, I'm glad she found you and Molly.

Soos, Dinah's beautiful!!!
Congrats to you all - what a lovely family!!!

..

Soos, congratulations! She is bigger than I thought she was. Seems Molly is happy to have a new buddy to play and sleep with.

I guess I missed the post about how you came across her in the first place...

She seems to feel right at home with you now. How did you come up with her name "Dinah"?

She's a beauty! Love those silky ears!!!!

Soos, Dinah is so pretty! She is so lucky to have you as her new forever mom.

Dinah is beautiful. Congrats on the new family member. Linda

she's really pretty Soos. Beautiful markings and coloring. Looks like she and Molly will be good friends once she can run and romp and play. Yeah, try to tell a dog they can't do that for 10 days! Congratulations.

Good looking girl to be joining the family Soos!! Make a well rounded family with all of you.

Excited that everything is working out for you and them!!! Wish that kind of pricing and services were offered a whole lot more places. It's terrible that so many places charge so much. Bet they would see more adoptions if they lowered their prices. Not a lot of people can afford some of the prices especially when they can get a pup or kitten for free.

Shelters and such try to help but they also bite themselves in the foot to with the prices!!!

Beautiful Foxhound. It is great that you found each other. Most of our shelters charge way too much for mixed breeds let alone purebreds. Yes, if they made it possible for people to afford the fee they would not be so overcrowded with dogs.
Monty cost me $65 (they now charge $75) for shots, microchip, worming, and neutering. Other places would have wanted $200 or more for him. Boomer came with all that for a donation. I gave them $100 cause the foster family did such a good job with him and I just had to have him and he is all I had hoped for.

She's gorgeous! Those wonderful hound dog ears and eyes.... lucky you and lucky Dinah. Congratulations.

Very nice looking girl. Love her color pattern.
Wishing you lots of good times together.

What a nice family picture. She looks like she belongs with you and Molly.
