Frankie

Here's Little Joe this morning, enjoying a bit of sunshine with his caregiver, Frankie, and Ursula's dog, Lucy!
Joe is eating better today, Frankie has been cooking him ground beef and chicken!

I'm going on a short vacation in a few days and I had no intention of taking my laptop, but now I just have to so I can follow Little Joe's progress!

This poor little girl, was brought to the shelter 2 days ago, when Sarah and Christine were doing evening medications. She arrived with a woman, and her 2 little boys. The woman did not speak any English, so we are still trying to gather all the facts. It appears that she was attacked with a machete, having a 6-7 inch cut above her eyes, and a skull fracture. They immediately rushed her to Playa Pet Hospital, where Diego administered treatment. Her condition is very guarded, and we will post an update as soon as we can. Once again, we need your prayers and healing thoughts.

She has been named *Fuerte*, which means strong, in Spanish.
Here she is, just after surgery yesterday




Here is Fuerte today




A big *Thank You* goes to Oscar and Diego, at Playa Pet Hospital for all their help with this sweet girl! She is still being watched carefully for any complications.

Sad news

‎***** Little Joe Update*****

We have gotten the results from Little Joe's blood serum testing yesterday. Unfortunately, it was not good news. Little Joe is in chronic renal failure. This has contributed to his failure to thrive and his inability to put on weight.

For all of us fighting to get Joe better, this is a devastating blow. For right now, he is comfortable, but his prognosis is not good.

***Lucky Little Henry***
Our little boy *Hank* has already found his furever home!
A fabulous local family met him today, and couldn't resist his cuteness and great personality. They have adopted him!
Have a long and happy life Hank!!

Fuerte

*****Fuerte Update*****

We went to visit Fuerte in the hospital, what a change a couple of days makes. She is sitting up and taking walks and eating very well. Her incision is healing very nicely, and she enjoyed some petting and cuddles. If there are no setbacks, it's possible she might be released from the hospital on Monday!!!!!!!

Little Joe

****Little Joe Update*****

Joe had trouble eating this morning, but made up for it at lunch, he had two helpings! He was able to take a walk in the yard, and take some new antibiotics to keep infection away. Day by day for Joe, let's hope they are good ones.
