We had another good adoption weekend, but as soon as one goes out another comes in. It is so hard to take a break from the torrent of needy animals – how can we say no? Especially to little Caramel who supposedly was 6 weeks old on the phone, looked more like 3 months old when we got her, but she's actually closer to 6 months when we checked in on Monday with Dr. Ruth of Whiteway Animal Hospital. Caramel is evidently so malnourished that her growth stunted, plus she has old and new injuries – a back leg she can barely put weight on (old), a bit up broken tail (new), and a couple of scabbed-over bite marks. Yes, she is a pit bull but she is a love -- now so happy she wags her stump, and has shown no ill feelings to anybody. My pack has already accepted her and is taking care not to hurt her. She is also starting to play a little but decided her tail is something to chew on... so back to the vet today for a clean amputation.

Meanwhile I just read about another good rescue – do any of you know Abigail Breslin of “Little Miss Sunshine”? Apparently she was in Roswell filming a movie and it just so happened the filming took place near the Southern Hope rescue facility who happened to put cute little puppies outside to get some sun. The cast and crew came over to make friends… and Abigail went home with one of the puppies!
