Katie is happy to report that she has found her forever home and family. She now resides on  the beach in panhandle Florida. Thanks for everyone's support and interest. Thanks Bama Bully Rescue for making this possible.

Katie discovered the cat's bell-ball. It's dangerous.

Merry Christams to Me from Bama Bully Rescue!

Hey folks, it's me Katie again. Sorry I've not been posting recently but being such a sweet Southern Belle has taken up so much of my time y'all. I've been adding a little weight to fill my figure out and my muscle tone is looking so much better if i do say so myself.

But anyhow, here's pictures of my Christmas box and gifts received from Bama Bully Rescue and all the folks who so kindly donated to make this possible. Thanks to you all!

With no further adieu check out my Merry Christmas.

 Oh, what's in this box that smells so good?

 How do I get in here?

 Mom or Dad, can you help me?

 Wow, is this really all for me?

 Look how much there is. And the smells.

 Wow, what a rawhide. Forget all that other stuff.

 OK, well what else do I have in here?

 Check out me new bandana. Thanks BBR (and especially Polly, wink, wink).

 Admit it, I am Pretty in Pink.

 Greenie! And I sure need it for my breath.

 Yum, yum, yum....

 Look at all the goodies I'm blessed with.

 Meanwhile this Greenie really needs my attention.

 Only a small break.

 Ain't I a looker, never mind the Greenie, just ignore it

 Mmmmumyumummmyumm

Last shot before dad takes it a way. He says we have to save some for later. Phooey.

That's all for now. Thanks everyone for checking on me.

Hello folks.
Well, I'm getting ever more settled into my foster home (as you'll see below).  Since coming home from the shelter I have also gained five pounds. I am now 36 pounds and looking stronger. My hind-quarter sore spot has healed nicely and new white hair is growing in its place. Please keep an eye on me for my adoption availability when that comes. Now... back to Sammy....

 Sleep, anyone?

 These are my "sad eyes".

I use them whenever I'm hoping to get something good, or just get my way.

 "That Cat"... Sammy who is always stalking me.

I show respect but sure wish I could figure her out.

This is her hunting me as she is so often doing. What's with that?

 With a look like that wouldn't you show respect?

 When Sammy's not stalking me I actually get some sleep in my favorite chair.

 Zzzzzzz... I sleep so well because I cannot hear. Who says that's a handicap?

My buddy Stormy Sky. We're still learning to be friends.

That's it for now folks.

What's Up With Me?

Well folks, I passed my Bama Bully Rescue (BBR) evaluation and will hopefully soon be an official BBR pup! Wow, I am special after all.

Also, I visited the veterinarian yesterday and she said I was a wonderful patient, one of the best. She said that all her deaf patients have always been so calm and pleasing. Overall I have good health except I still had evidence of ugly things like Hookworms and Whipworms. So, I was retreated again (the Animal Shelter had already done so also). Apparently those little uglies can be tough to get rid of. But I should soon be free from them and on the road to even better health. Getting rid of them should help my weight also. I came out of the shelter at 31 lbs. and remain the same despite my foster parents feeding me well. They think I could easily put on 5-10 lbs more at least and be at or approaching my ideal weight.

The veterinarian also estimated my age at between 2-3 years. So I am young, yet mature past that puppy crazy/destructive phase.

So stay tuned friends as I progress. Thanks.

Snuggling with Dad

I ain't too particular on my sleeping position other than I sure want to be close to my people.
Go ahead, enjoy my cuteness.

 Sunshine, oh yea.

 That's my other new buddy Sparky peeking over my shoulder.

My New Friend

Well everyone, here's some new pictures. I am making friends at my new foster home, even with Stormy Sky who is very particular about other dogs. I am calm and don't jump all over her so we do get along fine so far. I am very focused on people and not other dogs so that makes me tolerable to Stormy. Usually I shadow my humans everywhere but this was one instance where I settled with Stormy for a little while.

And here's a new surprise for you, especially considering my wonderful pop-up ears. I am deaf. The shelter folks speculated that I might be and my fosters say Yep! They should know since they recently lost to cancer their 13-year-old deaf white female. So they are good at communicating and working with me although they say it's really not hard.

I am settling in to family life. We are all taking it slow for my transition. I sleep in a crate at night near mom's and pop's bed.

My skin is improving although these photos seem to highlight my bumps more than they appear in person (what's with that?). My hind end sore spots are much better and are healing nicely.

I go for walks and do so well. I basically just walk alongside without pulling in all different directions. I enjoy walking and seeing the neighborhood.

That's all for today. Thanks for watching over me. Please come back as my adventure continues.

A Paradigm Shift, Part II

Hey folks. It's me Katie again. I just wanted to post a few "clean me" pictures before bedtime. The camera that my foster peeps used ain't the greatest for highlighting my most photogenic aspects. In fact it seems to mostly highlight my scrapes and booboos. But, trust me, I look better than these pictures show and to be honest I've been living on the street so you ain't seeing no Madison Avenue pooch here... YET. I'm on the mend though and headed for better days. I'll be a beauty, you just watch!

Remember: If you mouse click my pictures they get larger for better viewing. Nice touch that.

 Ah, my own living room bed....

 What are you doing?

 What's over here?

 My worst booboo. But it's clean now and should start improving rapidly..

 Nice profile shot of me, eh?

 Are you my Mommy?

 I am on the mend.

 Why are you flashing me? I don't understand that.

 Spoiled a bit maybe? Nahhhhh....

 

 Nah, not spoiled.

The good life.

Well, thanks for checking in folks. More will come.
