First stop at the Skrenes-Denninger (Skrenninger) Residence . . . the Dogs' Bathroom L to R: VetteMan's legs; April's back end; Zoe's back end; Cari; Rico, sniffing the pole with the bobble-head squirrel on it (don't ask) Experiencing security with DogPops Amy Cada of TerrierL writes: Verra cool! It is truly amazing how coordinated some breed rescues are. In 1996 I rescued a pair of Cairns and contacted Cairn rescue. I was shocked that reimbursement was offered for the cost of springing from the humane society, etc,, and what a major network! Unfortunately, in Scotties, we have a network, but it isn't nearly as well-coordinated. My web page would read something like this: "I got in the car, drove nine hours, picked up three rescues, drove home, took them to my vet . . . ." I am envious and always point to Cairn rescue's efforts as the benchmark to reach for our club. What I've seen so far in Zoe: € Good teeth; no bad breath at all. € No skin problems; no skin odor. € Ears very infected; will probably take quite a while to clear them out. Perhaps with an improvement in hearing ability, her obedience ability will increase and her skittishness will decrease. € No housebreaking habit; will need watching and GENTLE correction. I accidentally said NO! very loudly and terrified her. If you take her outside, however, she will potty; she just doesn't yet know how to tell you she has to go outside. € No idea what other dogs are for, nor what toys are for. She did pick up a ball this morning and carry it for a few feet, but that was it. So far. € She now eats and drinks, although the bowls have to be near her "cave", or she won't touch 'em.
