Sometimes it's just about saving an animal

a big applause to the team of volunteers that have worked so hard to save this beautiful boy. His owner felt life was too much and committed suicide leaving Blaze and his pal alone in a yard. Some great folks brought them both into a vet clinic in Morehead City, NC where the clinic took great care of the medical needs and attempted to find homes. Unsuccessful after a year, the clinic turned to Pet Harbour, a rescue in the OuterBanks and Blaze will be fostered until he finds a forever home. Thanks to volunteers at the clinic, volunteers with Southern Siberian Rescue and some Pet Harbour volunteers this guy is being transported to foster care.
I, myself, find it rewarding to foster but am not always available to do so. Transporting to helping save an animal is rewarding too! Good luck to you Blaze. You're new owner is going to get quite the catch with you. One of the best mannered Huskies I've met.

Uma


We've all been introduced to Uma and things are going well. She likes to play with me and follow me around the yard. Chilly isn't too fond of having another female around so they keep their distance from each other and big boy Deuce doesn't like sharing mom's attention so he kind of leaves Uma alone so he can be close to mom.
Big Sis, Nakita, had to see the doc on Friday. dad took her in cuz she quit waggin' her tail and didn't want to take a walk in the morning. We are all relieved to know it's not serious, just some inflamation in the joints. She's taking Motrin and is feeling much better already.
Xander went for his yearly. Is that like a human yearly? He didn't have to cough for the vet cuz those things have been taken off, LOL, but he got a rave review for having lost over 15 pounds and he looks marvelous!!!
Lucas is still a crabby butt. Howling and singing and taking all of the little guys toys, but we like having him around. Dad says he's diggin' a hole in the backyard again, so we figure he'd make a good landscaper.
We're just hanging out here enjoying the summer days in North Carolina. Thank goodness they have cooled down some since late June when it was over 100. Mom didn't take us out much then.
Come back to check on us soon. Hopefully we'll have more adventures to share.
