Milhouse~Adopted

Milhouse has been adopted by Randy and his wife from Volusia County. I believe they live near me in DeLand, so I will see him soon. Randy and his wife recently lost their collie and they came to us with a very heavy heart, not knowing if they were ready… but I told them, they will always miss their Rusty… but Milhouse will keep them occupied so it won’t be so hard. They drove all the way to Boynton Beach to meet him and Michelle, and they are on their way home.

Milhouse is one very happy, healthy and lucky puppy! Here’s a recent video of him playing with his new buddy, Sinatra!

09/26/13: Jackie just sent me a text that Milhouse has tested positive for Parvo. I just posted a plea for your support and prayers. I just can’t believe this. We are devastated. What is it with the collie pups… I’m tearing the house apart trying to find my rosary! Do you know how many years it’s been since I’ve used a rosary? Part of me says this can’t possibly be happening.

I don’t wish Parvo on any of my fosters. I feel so guilty that it’s not me driving him back and forth to the Vet, it’s not me staying up all night long… it’s not me doing the clean up.

I know Jackie can do this… she’s making chicken stew tonight! The protocol is already taking place, Vitamin B shot, anti-nausea shots, fluids, glucose, etc. I wish I could be there.

Jackie tried to pull a tiny collie pup from Miami-Dade just two days ago, and was told that the pup had an adoption hold on him. She waited for the person to show up, and they never did. Woo Hoo! I showed his photo to my kids, and asked them what we should name him. Sarah said he looks like little Bart. My son, Ryan grabbed my phone and said, “we shall name him Milhouse! Bart’s best friend.” And that was that!
