Dog Faces in the Crowd

More fun for me  is getting to work around so many dogs. In my travels I see some great faces and finally started to photograph them. It's not part of Pet Stuff Resale but people like them so much, this feature has become part of the company blog.

Abba was spotted at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. Four years old, she was at her adoption kennel for a year when her now owner came by just to walk a dog....and he didn't want another big dog:)

 I met Cammy today as she was leaving Gulf Coast after having a paw removed and ACL surgery. A patient of Dr Beale's, she was escorted out in seriously neat  rolling transportation by not one but two care takers!


Gus is a wonderful example of a wonderful breed. Such a happy boy at Chestnut Animal Hospital....




This incredible pug is almost 16 years old and still has great hearing, sight and heart function. His daddy is a softie when it comes to his baby. I am sorry I forgot his name-was at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. He had a girl pug buddy who died at 10 last year, like many breeds it's tough to just have one pug. 




Spencer and his mom were also at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. He is one of three pugs in the family.




Emma Hope has a very murky immediate past. She showed up in a dog run at Kingsland Blvd Vet Clinic with no information at all.. My wonderful bud Greta Jean has added her to her  dachsie/greyhound household. Emma Hope is 11 or 12 years old and settling in quite nicely.

Can you be open minded about pit bulls?



This is Bahrain, 4 months old, already neutered.

 Branching out from showcasing items from Pet Stuff Resale, in this post 2 foster dogs are being profiled. Citizens for Animal Protection is one of the few shelters that evaluates pit type breeds instead of automatically euthanizing or turning them away. Potential adopters are screened specifically about their interest in the breeds.
These two unrelated pups have mild upper respiratory infections and needed about 10 days in isolation.

The economy and fires have reduced adoption options so drastically that it will be even tougher than usual to place them. These two are protected by having a foster, but still need wide exposure to find them good homes. Please share this so I can take the next 2 dogs that need me.

He has NOT had an ear enhancement procedure!

Trying to showcase Bahrains freckles was tough; there are so many neat
smells in the woods to distract the dogs. I am not even guessing as to each ones primary breed.

Colonel is a 5 month old pit mix, also neutered. He is about 40 lbs and a little more macho right now than Bahrain, who is a 35 lb wuus.

Yea, they are both crate trained!

They both can sit on command and they have heard of "stay", but are convinced I can't possibly mean it. Many, many photos were taken to get just 2-3 with as little motion"blur" as possible.

Can you pass the dog "drivers permit" test?

clients at Westbury Vet Clinic

Pet rescuers usually feel that people should pass a test before getting a dog:) How well would you do? Some of the answers seem SO obvious but I have seen every one of them in my years of rescue! You might be surprised.

1-Heartworms are caused by:
   a-fleas
   b-flies
   c-mosquitoes

Mosquitos is what many of us know, but heartworm ignorance is very high in Houston. I was recently told that they are caused by spoiled canned meat.

2-Soft sided totes are great for puppies and easier to carry than plastic crates..
   a-sure
   b-no
   c-well, 1/2 of that is true

Many soft totes  have been destroyed by sharp puppy teeth, from both the inside and outside, when one is  put on the floor, ie. left within chewing range. They particularly like the zippers!

3-It doesn't matter how you travel with a dog in your vehicle, as long as they are contained.
   a-sure
   b-no

It does matter-none of us leave home expecting to get into a car wreck, but if you are side swiped or rear ended, the impact of a wire crate will crush a dog. It has a slightly better chance of surviving if a plastic crate breaks apart. A loose dog becomes a rapidly moving projectile as well. I hope this never happens to you, but it could.

4-It's fine to get a puppy before your elderly dog passes away so you are no tleft without a buddy.
   a-yes, they will probably get along just fine
   b-no-it is way too much stress on the older dog and they feel pushed aside
   c-rarely and only if done very carefully can this be done


Bubbles still looking for a permanent home

 I am of the B category,  think it is very selfish to foist a rowdy puppy on most older animals. A middle aged dog is a much better "bridge" dog. A few people are dedicated enough to keep a puppy from harrassing a senior dog.

5- Females make better pets
    a-yes, they don't "hike"
    b-no, males are actually calmer
    c-no right answer-everyone has their preferences

Many people assume that females are better just because of the hiking issue. Males are more often euthanized due to this misconception. Many males do not and some females do or show other dominant
behaviors. Once neutered, males are often calmer. Please don't automatically reject the idea of a male based on that generalization.

6-Females need to have a heat cycle before spaying and motor oil can be used on mange are both so ludicrous that they don't even warrant a separate True/False section, but they are both still believed. You don't have to admit it if you assumed either is true:) Neither is.

Do you know of other often believed (non) "truths"? Please share them in the comments and share this blog with folks who may believe some of these misconceptions.  It's a diplomatic way to educate:)

(As always ,please advise me if you no longer wish to receive the blog from Pet Stuff Resale. I do not want to intrude. Please share with people who might be interested.)


Durango begins painful heartworm treatment with Dr Burda at Jester Plaza Vet Clinic



Dog Faces in the Crowd

It's treat time at doggy day care at Jester Plaza Vet Clinic. They had NO interest in me,.all eyes on Dovie!

Rica is a a 3 year old blonde chihuahua given up by a back yard breeder of shelties.She is my foster and looking for a home.

It's almost not fair that I have a job where I can drive around to lots of pet related places and see such neat babies:)  This is 14 year old Snort(what a great pug name!) at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic getting a check up. He is happier than he looks here!

This is Lacey and most of Gracie(who has  the same great face!) in their HUGE yard  in Cypress( I think).

I pass by their house every day, they have a huge patio and Kuranda beds and the life of luxury. I stopped my truck in the middle of the road to get their pictures. Their momma said she rescued them near her job. Their buddy Moose's picture did not come out.

Sweetie was spotted at the new KAAWS Clinic on 529 near Queenston. She was getting a rabies vaccine and heartworm test. Of course I chatted with her owner about getting her spayed and he said he was going to. Her temperament matches her name!

When I am not pursuing pretty dog faces I buy and sell new and used pet supplies-petstuffresale.com,
and not just dog stuff, they are just the easiest to capture on film!

BIG BIG kennels at Pet Stuff Resale and a play yard

All eleven plastic and wire kennels fit(snugly) onto my truck yesterday, nesting and stacking nicely eventually, I missed the photo op!

Here's what I have:

The play yard is great for small dogs as the configuration is difficult for them to get their widdle paws in to climb. It is 29" tall and 12 feet long. There are no metal parts to rust so can be left outside.

50.00

This is a 48" long drop pin. Not as convenient as the folding models if it needs to be moved often, as there are multiple pieces, but if it stays stationary, the lower price vs the folding variety may be worth it. This is 65.00.

There are 2 more 48" long drop pins available, both black and have some rust. They are 55.00 each.

These two crates are 50.00 each. The one on the left is a 36" long Precision suitcase(folds down in one piece) in good shape.

The one on the right is a 42" long suitcase with some rust, the tray is not rusted thru, that is surface rust only.

In plastic crates: Furrari 550-this discontinued crate is 3 inches wider than the traditional xlarge plastic crate-30x30x40. It has plastic clamps on the sides rather than screws.

60.00

Xlarge Pet Porter-the regular tan plastic crate-27x30x40

60.00

Pictures of these are available. All kennels have been disinfected.

Thank you Cheryl Jones for facilitating the sale of the 2 Giant crates before I even got them unloaded!

I will be selling near the Greater Good this Saturday instead of BARC and  also on Easter Sunday afternoon.

Email me for my cell number to see what inventory I have each day.
