Some time on Sunday
« on: September 15, 2011, 07:23:48 pm »
Randall and I will be meeting a transporter to get our new foster dog. :)

Right now, all I know is her name is Alma (and that's temporary), she was a stray up in Oklahoma and was pulled from a kill shelter. She's been in Wichita Falls while our organization located a foster family. They knew we do seniors, so guess who they called on first.? :)

Anyway, more pictures when I have them, and more when I know it.

She's cute! Is her face that white, or is it just the camera/flash? Because that's adorable.

Nope. That's her face. The transporter won't even guess her age since it's not her breed, but she's being vetted tomorrow and having a dental, so hopefully we can get an estimate.

Just from looking at this photo I'd say she's at least in her mid-teens. Dachshunds can grey funny and early, but seeing one with this much white (and the roaning over her coat) tells me she is very old.

Every day I watch Sweet Pea get whiter and whiter. It makes quite a pattern, although not nearly as white as Alma's face.

Have fun with your newest!

We also know she is apparently completely deaf. This will be a first for us. I've had a chihuahua who was pretty much blind in her older years but neither of us have had a deaf dog before.

I had a dog (half chihuahua half miniature pinscher) that went both deaf and almost blind - due to cataracts-  before she died. I could usually get her attention by stomping on the floor.

Yeah, but what about when she was outside...at night.

That's the part that concerns us. We're going to blink the light, but I still worry.

Weee! Good luck to you guys with Alma! I am getting my first ever foster dog tomorrow. (Had plenty of foster kittens before.) Should be an adventure!

What type of dog?

We should pick up Alma about noon today.

They are calling him a smooth collie/greyhound mix. He caught kennel cough so I'll just be fostering him for a week. Here's a picture! http://screencast.com/t/DYs4ZxcRy

He's settled in and is napping on my feet while the cat growls in contempt.

Can't wait to hear about Alma!

That's good to hear.

Alma is hear and settling in. The cats, as usual aren't please. Our other dogs are just happy to have a new buddy. Alma seems very friendly-- and happy to be in a house again. She may not be completely deaf, but she's pretty close to it. She really likes treats and food. She's explored a lot but is asleep behind Lyric (at her desk).

Aggie (FKA Alma) is now entered over on the Foster Dog Blog. A bit of a write-up and three photos (not great, but better than what we originally had).
