It’s not all cats and dogs

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

While lately I have been working with almost exclusively cats and dogs, there was a time when I worked with the very little guys. Unfortunately I haven’t found a good way to do acupuncture on a rat although I have tried a few times. They are just too little.

I think guinea pigs are also too little to do acupuncture on although I have treated quite a few bunnies.

I recently did get the pleasure of treating a ferret although it took three of us juggling him and a bottle of ferratone (very addictive liquid ferret food-that is if you are a ferret) to keep the needles in. Boy did the dogs I treated that day enjoy tracing everywhere the ferret had been with their noses!

I think most of them had never smelled a ferret before!

Thor needs your help

Monday, January 12th, 2009

thorPamela, a friend of mine and a very dedicated rescuer, asked for help is finding Thor a new foster home or a permanent adoption. If you can help or you know someone who can please contact her. Thor is in Seattle.

Pamela wrote:
My name is Pamela, I am fostering an American Bull Dog, M/N. I am fostering for Animals First Foundation. He is black and white. His previous owner about 1 1/2 years ago was in a wheel chair, got evicted, he was left homeless. He have been at AFF for over a year. At a bordering facility, he was neglected and the results were a very large wound on his chest. It is all healed. I am intensely working on obedience.thor2

I have a few more details about Thor. He his actually good with cats. My cats are dog friendly and can sense dogs that aren’t cat friendly. We are still testing him on dogs. HE is CRATE trained. He is NOT a barker, loves to watch tv on the couch with you.(couch potato) $7.00 a day will be paid while fostering Thor. His training is going so well that putting him back in the kennel situation would harm that training. He walks on a gentle lead.

There is some incentive for fostering. All supplies and medicals are paid for.
If interested please call me 206-427-6454
