Carreen's Rescue Blog: The rewards of rescue...priceless

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/12/rewards-of-rescuepriceless.html

Saturday, December 19, 2009. The rewards of rescue.priceless. 8232; Nell earned her stripes the hard way. But life has turned around for this lucky survivor. Witnessing turnarounds is the most gratifying aspect of animal rescue. A skittish, bony creature who arrives terrified and smelling badly can be transformed into an unrecognizable success story. Gradually, as scared animal eyes look into kind human eyes, they begin to trust again. Or for the first time. But for those animals who take to the lifestyl...

Carreen's Rescue Blog: And then there were eight

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-then-there-were-eight.html

Saturday, October 10, 2009. And then there were eight. At first, Opus rallied after receiving fluids, but her health soon began its steady decline again. I don’t take vacations from writing. For me, stringing words together is like consuming food and water. It must be done within certain intervals or my well-being starts to weaken. So when I go quiet for even a week, my close pals in rescue know exactly what that means. Something has gone wrong. This week, my silence was as personal as it gets. My dear f...

Carreen's Rescue Blog: Hat trick

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/12/hat-trick.html

Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Today was Little Carreen’s turn at the vet, and I'm proud to say she’s officially part of my Good Kitty Club. Unlike some of my other babies, there are no warnings in the clinic’s computer system about her. No instructions to approach “with gloves only.” No scratching, hissing or spitting to haunt her past. Kim decided this would be the perfect time to take a picture of Little C for her file. Posted by Carreen Maloney. October 2, 2011 at 8:57 PM. Search Carreen's Rescue Blog.

Carreen's Rescue Blog: A photo that barked a thousand words

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/09/photo-that-barked-thousand-words.html

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. A photo that barked a thousand words. This is the photo of Walley that spoke to Alyssa Winters at the photo lab that day. All photos courtesy of Adrian Hitt Photography. About a quarter of us meet the love of our life in the workplace. For Alyssa Winters, that’s exactly how it happened. The Minnesota photo lab technician was having a regular workday in the mounting department watching the images roll by. And then one face stood out from all the others. In her spare time, the ...

Carreen's Rescue Blog: Down to a Magnificent Seven

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/12/down-to-magnificent-seven.html

Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Down to a Magnificent Seven. You might think that in a multi-cat household, I would barely notice when I lose one. That's not true in the least. When I come home from the veterinary clinic knowing one of my animals will never return, the missing piece of the puzzle is palpable. It's not just me who feels it. The remaining cats jostle for pecking order, and there's a perceptible hole in the dynamic for a while until the animals adjust to the loss. Posted by Carreen Maloney.

Carreen's Rescue Blog: Shedding a dress size

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/12/shedding-dress-size.html

Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Shedding a dress size. When the shave was done, there were two Oscars on the table. Oscar went for his annual check-up today. Other than his weight—a whopping 26 pounds—he’s in perfect health. Veterinarian Kim Barron defends Oscar somewhat. Unlike my other cats, she says he's "big boned." Big face, big paws. As for Oscar, he seems pretty happy with his lighter load. He's got a headstart on his weight loss over the others. We weighed the shorn fur, and he’s alread...The very ro...

Carreen's Rescue Blog: Staying abreast of health problems

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/12/staying-abreast-of-health-problems.html

Thursday, December 17, 2009. Staying abreast of health problems. Poor Henry was exhausted after a day at the clinic. He received a thorough teeth cleaning and a daring shave. When I weather a spate of sick cats as I did recently, I begin to exhibit hypochondria where their health is concerned. As I was cuddling Henry the other day, I felt a bump on his chest that seemed like some sort of cyst. He was bundled off to Northshore Veterinary Hospital. Good thing it isn’t bikini season just yet. If you have a ...

Carreen's Rescue Blog: Bits and bites of happiness

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/11/bits-and-bites-of-happiness.html

Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Bits and bites of happiness. American Thanksgiving is rolling into place for 2009. It will be my first year celebrating the holiday as a newly-minted American, and a Canadian too ( Not born in the USA. Oct 21, 2009). In the spirit of giving thanks, here are updates from recent stories with happy endings. Yesterday I trapped Montana, the orange cat living outside Cafe Akroteri. Finally appetite overrode caution. He went on the WeSnip. A terrific shelter north of the line....

Carreen's Rescue Blog: A furry fashion plate

http://fuzzytownrescue.blogspot.com/2009/11/furry-fashion-plate.html

Sunday, November 29, 2009. A furry fashion plate. Jackson the Chihuahua fancy-foots through fall modeling his too-precious sweater knitted in autumn tones. Notice how the sweater's sage-colored panel on the right complements his eyes perfectly. Jackson's photo was taken by Los Angeles-based Kim Rodgers of. Kim's passionate about photographing dogs, and she's also a dedicated animal rescuer in her own right. Posted by Carreen Maloney. October 2, 2011 at 9:00 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
