Attention, I am not a Sr., but I have an announcement to make!
They tell me my name is Pheonix – I suppose thats okay.
My age is currently unknown (3??) as I have just arrived through BaRNI to Daphneyland and I am one sick hound. Although I am not a senior, I will be one day – hopefully many years from now after a forever home is found for me.
The photo above is my shelter photo – but it doesn’t show all my ribs sticking out, or the fact that I got really sick in the shelter. Right now I don’t feel so wonderful, but the folks here were cheering yesterday when I started eating on my own. Who would ever think folks would be SO happy to see a hound eat?
Because I am currently a sick hound, I may just be the perfect spokes hound for the Isolation/Medical ward which will be needed at the senior center….
Speaking from personal experience, its soooo wonderful to arrive at a place where there is very limited stress. To be given a comfy bed, lots of warm blankies and good food, medications, love and concern as well as HEAT!!! When you’ve got a bad cold, heat is a really good thing.
I have toys to play with if I want, and I kinda thought that was a nice touch – yea, I didn’t really want to play with them until today, but that squeaky frog just may need to ribbit all night long, hee, hee.
My Aunt Lisa made sure I got here safe and sound and my Uncle Ralph and Aunt Connie drove me on in.
Where in the world has this place been all my life?
When I feel better I would like to design -2- isolation areas for sick hounds – places where they can recover and feel better after the stress of loosing a home, ending up in a shelter and then not sleeping for a while.
Its tough on a hound, and I think I can make sure that future shelter hounds have peace and tranquility while they head back on the road to recovery. Soft colors and some good artwork on the walls – many fluffy blankies as they wash easier than doggie beds for sterilization….. Wow, this is the life I tell ya – sleeping all day nice and warm with a full belly…….
Please rund and tell shelter hounds that there is a good place waiting for them if they are lucky enough to find a rescue group…..
