GreyPoopon Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 5 hours ago, ramonaghan said: assuming they're the result of switching from sand to sidewalks and streets. Quite possibly. Two of my broodies (Kat and Opal) arrived with terrible corns, but they hurt a lot more once they had to walk on pavement and concrete. I thought Toodles also had corns everywhere, but it was pad overgrowth. The corns (not as many as the other two) appeared later.

ramonaghan Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 No toast here, alas. After making good progress over the past several days, Pavi went after Tootie again this morning. She's back with her original foster now. We're sad, but the amount of drool on the floor made clear she was not just curious or playing. She's a great dog and would be perfect for a first-timer without a cat.

Cal (the Grey in question) was over 10 1/2 when she came home and not in the best of health. (She'd had a litter years earlier. I don't know what happened after that--maybe she was a kennel/farm pet.) I couldn't face taking her back to the adoption kennel. So the cats lived upstairs when she wasn't crated and had freedom overnight and when I was out. There were three baby gates on the stairs because even though Cal couldn't do stairs properly, she would fling herself up and into any obstacles. Cal was here for over 3 years--she made it to a week shy of 14--and was fairly cat-agnostic during her last few months, but I never did trust her enough to remove the safety procedures. 1 Quote Standard Poodle Daisy (12/13) Missing Cora (RL Nevada 5/99-10/09), Piper (Cee Bar Easy 2/99-1/10), Tally (Thunder La La 9/99-3/10), Edie (Daring Reva 9/99-10/12), Dixie (Kiowa Secret Sue 11/01-1/13), Jessie (P's Real Time 11/98-3/13), token boy Graham (Zydeco Dancer 9/00-5/13), Cal (Back Already 12/99-11/13), Betsy (Back Kick Beth 11/98-12/13), Standard Poodles Minnie (1/99-1/14) + Perry (9/98-2/14), Annie (Do Marcia 9/03-10/14), Pink (Miss Pinky Baker 1/02-6/15), Poppy (Cmon Err Not 8/05-1/16), Kat (Jax Candy 5/05-5/17), Ivy (Jax Isis 10/07-7/21), Hildy (Braska Hildy 7/10-12/22), Opal (Jax Opal 7/08-4/23).

ramonaghan Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 Doolin has another guest! This is Misty (Arroyo Misty). She will be here at least until Monday. She has explored the house and done her business and is now resting after her beeg day. She is just a baby, having turned 2 in August. Misty has the same foster mom as Pavi, who is being sat upon by my parents in their cat-free home. (Why yes, I did guilt-trip them into watching her since she would've had to stay in a kennel otherwise. ) Pavi knew us right away when we picked up the girls; she jumped and wagged and leaned. Man, I sure wish she wasn't a cat zapper. I was definitely going to be toast otherwise. Misty is a timid, sweet girl and the group feels pretty certain she will be safe with Tootie. For now Tootie is staying upstairs, no doubt shooting stink-eyes down to us. 3 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.
