It has taken longer than normal to get these two guys started on their journey. First Chico had a bad case of kennel cough and spent all his time at the vet hospital trying to get better (he’s all better now). He fast became a favorite and many tears were shed when he left – read more about Chico here. Can Can has been overstaying his welcome at the Simi holding facility because our normal ride to Phoenix had a schedule change and we all had to re-adapt to it. We now have him on the first ride out. Both were very tired being cooped up in kennels for so long, they just wanted to go. Somewhere. Well they are on the road now and at least they are alive. Same can’t be said of others that came in the shelter about the same time.

As you can see from the photo, Liselle was not feeling well. She is about to give birth to her puppies and on top of that she has kennel cough. Poor girl really was not at her best. The staff carried her out and gently put her in the kennel and we made her as comfortable as we could for her ride to the vet’s office where she will be staying for a while. How long I don’t know, given her complications. I am sure we will be seeing her again with her little ones in tow. Sweet Cheeks is the little brindle pup that I also pulled and took him to a different vet’s office. He also has kennel cough, but he was still going strong and everyone at the office fell in love with him. What’s not to love about a puppy?
