Just as Mom took this one, I khame around the khorner!
Here is the video of us greeting The Doggy Nanny and Fred!

BUDDY
This morning we lost our beloved rottie Buddy to bloat. Buddy was the first dog that we fostered and being the lousy fosters that we turned out to be we adopted him :-) My husband named him Buddy so that he wouldn't get attached to him and we were going to name all our fosters "Buddy" but that didn't really work out as planned. Buddy was about 8 years old and a very ornery boy. He taught us a lot about rottweilers even though we had two others before him. He was our "Pathway to Rescue"...if it wasn't for him we would not be doing this now. He was the best boy, so damn loyal...a typical rottie. He died on the gurney from our car to the operating room at 9:15am (February 23rd).
PEARL

In October 2005 I went to Tylertown, MS to Camp Katrina (temporary home of the Humane Society of Louisiana). At that time they only had one Rottie and she was the sorriest-looking one I have ever seen. Skinny, weezing and caughing, rotting teeth and with horrible breath this girl caught my eye right away. I stayed in a hotel room for nights and brought her with me; she didn't know what a bed was or how to walk on the carpeted floors. That is how I met Pearl and a week later I brought her home to Douglasville. About 30 pounds underweight, anemic and severely infested with hearworms Pearl almost died several times over the next few months. But being a true survivor she new that her life had changed and she fought each time and beat the odds. For the last 4 years Pearl has slept in a real bed or on the couch, got as much food as she wanted and all the love that Johnny and I had to give. Unfortunately, Pearl is unable to beat the odds this time...the cancer has progressed too far and Pearl is too old to undergo any treatments. It is time to say goodbye to our Hurricane Katrina heroine who had such a miserable life yet turned out to be such a great dog. She will be sorely missed


The run Mom is doing today is in memory of Buddy and Pearl - here are two of her passengers
Maya The Rotti aka 'Kissygirl' akhkhording to her Saturday drivers

Her other passenger will be Helga and Gunther's sisfur Heidi

Wow! You're so fast. I had barely clicked post and there was your comment. It's obvious Maddie and you love the Nanny (and likewise). I think it's great that your mum does the dog runs in memory of the dogs in your lives. Keep it up Khyra's mum!

Hi Khyra
We enjoyed the video of your wonderful siberian welcome for the Doggy Nanny and Fred.
We thought you and Merdie were so well behaved waiting for your treats too. Khyra when you jumped right up on the counter we were very envious - you could reach those treats yourself!
We do hope Doggy Nanny and Fred had a great holiday.
We were really sorry to read about Buddy and Pearl.
Have a good transport Mom.
love
Martha & Bailey xxx

Gosh Khyra - you've been having a really busy weekend, what with ROTE's and napping with Merdie and supervising Brofur & Butterscotch....not to mention Doggy Nanny and Fred...whew!
Bet you're really happy that Merdie is staying another week! :-)

Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane

Dexter said...

Oh we live in terror of that bloat monster here. I have been twice to the emergency room because momma would rather spend dollars than have that happen to me. It is so scary and once it takes hold it is just luck whether you can be saved or not. We are sad about Buddy.

On a happier note, momma brought home some pictures of Tula yesterday. Well, Miss Khyra, I think she is going to give you a run for your money for most attractive bottom.

Slobbers,
Mango

Welcome home Dog Nani and Fred! I know someone has missed you TONS!

Buddy and Pearl both leave awesome legacies. I' sure these pups traveling in the XTerra of Love and Hope will live up to that legacy.

The Florida Furkids said...

We're sorry to hear about Buddy and Pearl. We're glad they found love in their lives before they left for the Bridge.

You sure have a lot of fun activities at Khamp Khyra. We think we could get into that napping activity.

KB said...

Sorry that Merdie has to go but I'm glad that she's back with her humans.

Was sad to read about the passing of those two dogs... We almost lost a dog to bloat many many years ago. But, by pure luck, we were going to the vet for something else when the bloat started, and he was saved. He lived another 14 years. That was very lucky day for us. But, bloat is evil.

I hope that the transport goes well.

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

Sure glad doggy Nanny and Fred made it home. It is always special when you are greeted by some furballs..
Thanks for sharing Pearl and Buddy's story with us. Today will really be a special transport for you...
Have fun and be safe..

Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie
