Dog Sitting & Shiloh, the Great White Hunter

Hello, everyone. Mom reporting in here. Not much happening at the Stoutino Inn since Buster got adopted. We've gotten pupdates on him and he's settling in quite nicely with his new family. He even has a doggy door to go in and out as he pleases. Mo likes to take Buster on tours of the best places to sniff & pee.

We are taking a break from fostering for a while, but we do have a four legged visitor. We are dog sitting a friend's pup, Klondike. Here he is helping me check my email.

Klondike is an older dog, so he likes to take it easy and just relax. Perfect for us right now, so Guinness doesn't get knocked off of her wobbly feet. She's doing as well as she can to get around. Still getting up and down stairs and in and out without too much trouble.

Shiloh has been taking everything in stride too. Here he is, the Great White Hunter, with what is left of a toy we won in a gift basket from Hike n Howl. What you don't see in the picture is the little lion's stuffing all over the dining room floor.

That's the latest happenings here. Hope you are all doing well and have lots of fun stuff too.

Love, Mom Stoutino

Meet Buster's New Family

Haroo there! Meet my new family! This big boy is my new little brother, Mo. Foster mom calls him a great big goober. Here I am telling my new dad, John, what a good boy I am going to be for them.







Here is a better picture of dad John and Mighty Mo. Mo is a ham for the camera as you can tell- he's only four years old. I was out investigating my new yard - there is a doggy door at this house and I can go outside whenever I want too!


Here is a picture of my new big sister, Minerva. She's a year older than me at eleven and a very sweet grrl. She's asking dad if it's okay if I stay with her - isn't that nice? Mo had to stick his big nose in the picture though. I also have a new mom named Dawn, but foster mom forgot to take her picture - silly! She's a real nice lady and I think she's gonna be a great mom. I have already made myself right at home in this new house and really like it here.



I wanna say thanks to everyone for the great sibe vibes when I was sick and helping me fit into the Stoutino Inn. I'll keep in touch - I promise!

Love, Buster

Meet & Greet at Hike n Howl

Haroo everyone! Buster here again. Foster mom says that we're going to Hike N Howl on Saturday. It's a fund raising event for MaPaw and a couple of other husky rescues. AND I might get to meet some very special people there. Someone who may want me to be their dog furever! I sure hope that they are nice people. I'm getting all nervous just thinking about it. Maybe I'll let mom brush me down and stuff so I look just right. Maybe....

Keep your paws crossed that everything goes well, okay? Hopefully we'll have some good news about what happened very soon.

Discovery

Haroo everyone! It's me, Buster! I've made this great discovery. There is this soft and comfy place that I've been missing out on all of this time - the pomegranate couch! Guinness likes to think that it's hers to enjoy and she does love to sit up there. I've been avoiding the furniture for a while - not sure if I was allowed up there or not. But I tried it last night and mom discovered me there this morning. I didn't know what I was missing. Wow is it comfy! Don't I look all comfy? I think I really like it here. Good thing for Guinness that there is room for two.

Now, I wonder if I can make it up onto that big bed upstairs....

The Best News!

Hi, everyone - Mom here again. Buster is cancer free!!!! Those sibe vibes are amazing and they work, never doubt that. His tumor was caused by too much estrogen and the neuter fixed that, so he's all good to go now! We are so happy and I swear I saw a smile on Buster's face tonight. He knows we've been worried about him and he can tell how happy we all are. Thanks to everyone for their support.

We still have to do something about his anemia - that's what's driving him to eat rocks and dirt. Anyone know of any supplements?

Love & Pets,

Mom Stoutino

Buster update

Poor Buster has has a rough couple of days. We took Buster to the vet last night because he has had diarrhea for a couple of weeks now and nothing seemed to help it go away. We thought he had picked up a bug of some sort. No other symptoms.

While we were at the vet's, Dr. Walters at Harleysville Veterinary Hospital said she found some concerns. One of Buster's testicles was enlarged, he had an enlarged prostate too. They needed to neuter him to see what they could do as fast as possible. They did some x-rays and found stones in his urethra and intestines. Our poor guy is all messed up!

Well, he came through the surgery very well. He'll be home on Thursday with some antibiotics. His prostate looks benign, but it will be a few days before we know about the testicular cancer.

Please pray for our sweet ol' Buster. This shows that neutering is very important for many reasons, not just controling pet population.

Buster Meets and Greets

Hello! It's Buster - and I got to go out on an adventure on a bewootiful day to Green Lane Park. It was the weekend of the Scotch-Irish Festival there. Loads of doggy rescues were there today in the bright sunshine and cool breezes. So we all made sure to look our best - I even got a BATH for the occasion! I met lots of very nice bipeds who scratched my ears and told me I was soft and handsome. There were lots of huskies to play with. I also got to meet Ma, of MaPaw, and a pretty grrl named Shelby - that's her with Ma in the picture. It was a furry nice day, but I'm all tuckered out, so I'm gonna go and take a nap. It's hard work being adored.

Ruff!

Buster
