Few of the dogs have had a de stuffing party lately.

If anyone would help with our outstanding vet bill, it would be greatly appreciated. You can call the vet at 601-876-2282. Ugly loved my dog Le Le so its fitting they went so close together. he loved resting his head on her back. He always let out a huge sigh when he plopped his head on her.

Ugly came to us in March of 2021 from Alabama with his baby mama and four adorable puppies. The puppies are one in Boston, one in NJ and two in new orleans. Baby mama is in new orleans. He wasnt adoptable. He was only happy in a vehicle or with me. If I left him with anyone they'd complain. He had the worst separation anxiety ever. He jumped out of a second story window multiple times. I could talk so long on the damage he did trying to escape the house in new orleans. He ate the couch one day. He didn't do that in Mississippi though. He had 2 cancers, adenocarcinoma and multiple mass cell tumors. He had echlicia from ticks and his blood never clotted correctly since. The area above his right eye swells. Its been cut out two times. Biopsy just said shar pei stuff. Derm said keep him on daily prednisone for life. That wouldve drastically cut his life short so we did short term rounds as needed. He always had nystagmus. He had heartworms. No meds ever worked for his separation anxiety. He had Laryngeal paralysis and we used off label anti depressant to help him breath. Ugly had a tumor on his liver. He was tired. He was always a happy perfect dog as long as he was with me.

Ugly is doing better this evening. He even followed me around for an hour which he hasn't done for 24 hours. He ate a lot of people food tonight. Ill make more for him in the morning. This is where he picked to lay in the yard so we all hung out there.

The outstanding vet balance is covered. Tomorrow's visit at minimum is $250 just for bloodwork and exam. That'll tell us the next step. Whether hospitalized or euthanasia, the costs will increase. We have $120 donated. He will hopefully be seen in the morning. It depends on the vets schedule.
Id also like to do a f***l. Multiple have had diarrhea. Ive changed their food back to normal. But it continued. I started probiotics. Today for the first time multiple threw up. Multiple didnt finish their dinner. It honestly smells like hooks but I dont see how that would make them throw up. Maybe whatever is wrong with them is also what's wrong with Ugly. He's just acting so much like Le Le with her kidney failure.
There are multiple p**p eaters. Onyx has also discovered moles recently. Some are eating acorns which aren't good for them. But ugly never has. And its not the same ones sick. I know they eat rabbit poo in the yard.

Sampson enjoys short sessions of fetch. Ive made a lot of progress with him but he needs a little more. He was extremely fearful when the vet came. He acted like he'd be a fear biter. When a friend and her child came over, i brought Sampson to them and he was very friendly. He was also great for his exam. When he came he couldnt be around the dogs. I still believe he will do best as an only dog unless someone is experienced. He will still nip me if he wants me to stop doing something like his nails. Im able to get him to stop and its nothing like before. But im afraid he'll be instantly returned. I do have a trainer coming to evaluate and give pointers.
Hes 1 year old and 30 lbs. He's a schnauzer mix. One ear was cut to make it stand up. He's super cuddly. He does play with dogs occasionally but he mostly stays by me. He goes in his crate on command. I can open his crate and he stays. I feed the dogs treats individually to teach them manners in the group. Sampson can be around while others get treats but he cannot get a treat. Hes too food aggressive to the dogs.
Hes mostly housebroken. I think he'll be fine once theres less males. He was seen being thrown from a vehicle.

Ugly isn't doing well. He needs to see the vet tomorrow. He's acting just like Lele did with her kidney failure. The vet bill is $1500 amd must be paid before Ugly can be seen. Ugly needs blodwork. He's not wanting to eat. He's weak. He just wants to lay in the sun.
