Donations coming in and bunnies really like to chew cables

Wow, I haven’t written for a few days. Lucky you! Well, Stormy had his follow up appointment today, Dr. P said he’s very happy with us that we keep up on their meds (of course!) because his eye has amazingly improved (and he’s eating great now too!). His cornea and iris are not attached to each other, and if he has to have surgery at all it will be minor removal of scar tissue (Dr. Pieper keeps grossing me out saying it’s like sewing up Jell-o) and no specialist will be needed! Hooray for Stormy! He goes back in another week or 2 for another follow up. He will probably still have minimal sight as opposed to no sight at all out of that eye. Time will tell!

Shaylah’s babies eyes opened about 4-5 days ago. They are eating me out of house and home a long with Tinkerbell’s 6! We have had many donations come in to help out, such as the donation being sent in by the family that found Stormy, the $50 check from Michele, again, thank you, the donations from Anne on our web-group, and Michele C. is bringing us in a whole bunch of ink cartridges (around 100!) to be sent into the funding factory! Thank you everyone, it’s all helping us out so much! We do need more news papers, we are both going through them like crazy (no glossies!) and Linda had to run around to recycling bins again last week! If anyone lives near a deli, mine gives them to me free after 6:30, maybe you could ask and nab a trunk full to drop down occasionally. It helps!

Well, today on my way home I saw two black labs running down the road, in the road, and slowed down. I have never seen them before. I got one to come up to me, but the other took off. Not knowing their address, etc… Nothing on their dog-tags, even the phone number embroidered in the collar, was not up to date. I dropped “Rocky” off with Rachael at Stratford AC and watched as she checked for a micro-chip. I am getting all my dogs chipped in the next week, it’s important to me now, and everyone has our address and my phone number printed on their dog tags. Make sure if you have animals, you keep these up to date! You never know when one will sneak out!
Billy has become too comfortable in our house. He now leaves the bathroom and ventures upstairs to have the guest room all to himself. I went out a few days ago and got cord protectors for all the computer cords so that if he found his way around, he wouldn’t get into trouble, my big plans for this weekend! Well, he found them and I had to go and buy new speakers (again) 3 new USB cables and a new modem cable, we have no internet at home! Silly bunny! Oh, Billy is being adopted! He made an incredible connection to a little boy named Quinn and will be going to his new home soon. Parsley will become our new Bathroom Bunny, but with all cords protected!

SPCA of NY’s Chairman of the Board, Deborah, called me today. I really enjoyed speaking with her, and we spoke in depth of the Pound Ridge situation, and I felt quite happy with the way things ended. Hopefully everyone will keep on top of this devastating situation so that it does not happen at this location again. We are going to swap some rescue contacts with them for future help.

That’s all I can think of right now, my brain is fried. JD may have Cushing’s disease, not even sure what that is, something hormonal though – a new disease to investigate! He has a 3 hour visit to Dr. P on Friday for 2 blood tests (and will get his micro-chip too!).
