Still here…

It’s been so long since I’ve posted it probably seems like we’ve dropped off the face of the earth, but we’re still here. Just busy!

We’re closing in on week four of Rogue being on the Fluoxitine and Alprazolam. I am still really anxious to see progress, but it seems slow in coming. Every once in a while I think I notice something that is a different reaction, or at least a smaller one. However, for the most part, (I’d say 95% of the time)…things are continuing as they were before. In instances that I can predict will be stressful for her, we have upped the dosage of the Alprazolam to the full .25 mg. pill as we couldn’t see any effect giving her the half pill. I don’t know that we’ve got it really figured out yet, as sometimes she seems more relaxed with the Alprazolam and other times she is even more cranked up, almost like she’s trying to fight the effects. I hope this latter reaction will fade as she gets used to the feeling.

Everyone else in the crew is doing fine and loving the cooler weather for walks. Well, except for Zoe and the foster pup, they both would prefer the warmer weather and like to sit in front of the heater or the wood stove. Zoe runs inside in the mornings after she takes care of business, and insists on snuggling up under the covers with me. Even though it’s getting cold, we still haven’t gotten any snow that’s stayed on the ground for more than a day or so. I’m wishing now I had left the agility equipment in the field a little longer LOL.

The male puppy that we had staying here, Dakota, was adopted by his permanent family just a day or two after we brought him home. We’re thrilled for him! He was such a sweetheart! I know the new family is just going to love him. The little girl is still here…and we’re loving her :-)

I have missed reading your posts! Glad to hear things are going pretty well, though. :)

Christy,

Yes, the puppy has definitely been taking a good portion of my time and attention! :-) She’s a doll.

I’m so glad that you were able to help out by giving the pups a place to stay while the volunteers were up in Salt Lake doing the adoption. It’s really a life saver to have someone like you take them in.

Heya Cyn,

Sorry. Glad you haven’t given up on us though. I’ll try to keep up on the posting a little better.

I’m surprised that pup hasn’t gotten adopted yet! She will soon!

Lindsay,

She won’t be available for adoption till after the people with Sheltie Rescue of Utah get back into town. Besides, I don’t really want her to go anyway. LOL
