Cathi she's gorgeous
. And to see them all together is brilliant
, and your garden is huge for them to play in


Her poor neck
. I've seen dogs who have been in the same situation on Animal Cops


You just wonder, WHY?

Tala is so beautiful, Cathi!
I know you're just so excited to finally have her home with you!
Her poor sweet little neck.
She is in the very best hands now where she will receive all of the love and care she deserves!

Amen on that...Why? I can't understand how anyone could do that to her or any animal
All went well last night, all three spent a comfortable night together
I did notice this morning that one spot of Tala's neck is bleeding slightly I will be calling the vet in a little while to see what to do for that. I have cleaned and dressed it with neosporin ointment as directed and given her antibotics so hopefully she will be fine until this afternoon.

She is a cutie pootie
and a sweet heart to boot

Cathi, Tala is beautiful and I love the name


You are a sweetheart for saving her. She will indeed be healthier in no time, as you and Ken seem to have a magic touch


I am happy to hear the intoductions went well


Sending quick healing vibes for Talas neck! Poor baby.

Whoever did this to her needs to be locked up and the key taken away

Oh Cathi - Tala is a girl !
Silly me, I responded earlier as if she was a boy!! Having a girl to round out your doggie household is a good thing - too many boys and you might have problems with them!!

She is gorgeous!!

Day one was a total success for all of them. They seem to be getting along really well. There is a problem with Nakita and Tala when I am out there. I am addressing Nakita first and then Dakota and lastly Tala. Hopefully this will let my Kitagirl know that she is the alpha girl in my little pack and number one.

Tonight as I was out there playing with them all Nakita decided that Tala was a little too close to me, she did try to attack her but I put a stop to that real quick as Tala can't handle Nakita I know.

Tala's neck still looks so bad to me. She was bleeding a little this morning on the windpipe part of her throat. I called the vet,he said that is to be expected just to keep cleaning it with peroxide and neosporin ointment. I know it's going to take a long time for this to heal I hope that I do the right thing by her. This is my first experience with dealing with a nasty wound like that and I am not sure what I am doing.

Oh gosh , poor baby .

I am sure it is still hurting her and when you clean or touch ect ect it must not be fun for her
. I sure like to kick some ones butt for that
.
The wound in the pic you have posted sure looks bad Blondie , I know it has to hurt you just looking at it
to you . Do you have to make a bandage on her neck so it will stay clean ? I know the air is better for healing and I think there is nothing else you can do . Did the vet give you any meds for her like antibiotics to give her ? I am just wondering .

I am so glad all went so great with the rest of the crew
You will see that girls are more lovable , at least that what I see with people having girls

The vet told me not to cover her neck, I thought with a wound like that it would be better to cover it. But I am doing what he said to do. She is on oral antibotics for the next 10 days. Hedi you are right it does hurt me to look at her poor neck
I don't want to hurt her any further when I clean it so I am being as gentle as I can with her. She is a hoot already and smart as a whip

Glad she's at home with you, and I know under your care she'll heal quickly! Yay, those pics look like they're all already friends.

Hedi's right, it hurts just to look at that last pic. Grrrrrr.

oh Cathi - Tala is gorgeous
think I have another furbaby to come and steal

I hope that wound heals quickly - it does look nasty - it made me cringe too when I looked at it - but she is lucky to have found a loving home with you and the rest of the furbabies

she is one lucky girl !!!

Tala's neck is looking much better. She is doing real well with Nakita and Dakota also
Nakita is trying to play with her too
It seems they have gotten all of their little squabbles worked out and Tala is fitting in nicely with them.


Last night when I was out there playing with them all it was a wonderful site to see all three of them running through the backyard wide open. Even Nakita blazed a trail with her hip problem, I just hope she doesn't hurt her hip worse doing that

That's wonderful everyone is getting along so well, Cathi! I would think the exercise would be OK, but i wonder if you would want to check with your vet about Nakita's most appropriate activity level?

Awww Cathi thats brilliant!


I was telling my sister about her yesterday, because although she loves cats dogs are her passion!
, and she was horrified when i told her of Talas condition


Something i found out about her last night, she thinks huskies are beautiful dogs and has done for a long time


She has a german shepherd 'Benji' who is a blonde beauty

Stephanie I will call the vet and check with them to see if it's okay for Nakita to be running like that. I did take her to the vet the other day for x-rays and eventually Nakita is going to have to have surgery to correct her hip. Right now I am trying what the vet said, continue to give here Rimidyl and get a little bit of weight off her. I hope it works as I don't want to put her through any pain if it can be avoided.

Susan I would love to see a picture of your sister's German Shepherd, sounds like a beauty
