Milo took the first round of heartworm treatment really well yesterday. Today is his second and final round of heartworm treatment. Let's hope that this kills the buggers as it seems like they won't put much effort into his problem after this.



I truly hope it works. I love the little guy. He's the sweetest dog I've ever been around and the quietest too! So far I've only heard him whine whenever I'm not in view of him or if I'm crying. I never expected him to be so bonded to me so… Continue

Well, at some point this weekend I noticed that Milo was pulling at his stitches. He was a naughty boy but I don't really blame him, I'd do the same if I were him.



I took him to work with me to see the Vet. I brought Freya's crate as I am able to handle that better than Milo's bigger one. I thought about letting Animal Control keep him until the appointment and after the appointment as I live too far away to use a lunch break to go home. I also didn't want him to go to the shelter. I… Continue

I am one of those crazy people who have to research everything before doing anything when it comes to medicines and medical procedures. Freya is almost up for spaying--well my vet does it from 6 months and up. So, like a worrying mother--I started researching about spaying a dog just so I would feel better about my decision.



My boyfriend isn't supportive on this (his Weim is not neutered). He wants to know why I want to rush and get this done, which is the other reason I have been… Continue

Milo has been home for a week now. He's been a very good boy and frankly I'm impressed at how sweet and gentle he is with me. I didn't really have much to expect but when I saw him I felt he was worth trying to save and find a home.



So far this week, I've found out that he doesn't like having his tail touched whatsoever. He never had a carrot in his life. He's never had a kong with peanut butter and yogurt either. He is a happy boy and is always excited to see me after meals and when… Continue

I have to tell myself everyday that Milo is with us that I can't keep him. I can't love him totally. I can't afford another dog. I have to say this because I know how stupid and irrational I can be. I know that I would very well adopt him despite the financial aspect and just make it work.



But I can't allow myself to feel that way. I have to remind myself of the financial. I have to remind myself that our two dogs are not happy and are mopey because of the semi permanent addition to… Continue

This is what we've learned about Milo this weekend. He loves people. He loves to shadow me and if its in a place he can't go he will stay with my boyfriend by his feet. If I followed the Ceasar Milan's way of training...I did everything wrong. According to him, you are supposed to treat him like a dog first and then give him cuddles later. I'm trying to maintain pack order but it is very hard when our male dog absolutely despises him and Freya is being possessive. We have had to kick out one of… Continue

This is Milo. He is 2 years old (approximate.) Behind him is the devastation that was caused by the Weimaraner and the Freya baby. It makes naught a difference if I clean cause but a minute later they trash the house.



So here is what I have learned so far. He is infected with heart worms. They haven't treated him at all because he needs a sponsor for the treatment. I know… Continue

He may be able to come home today. An animal shelter advocate (as in he's for the betterment of the place and not making it worse) got me a crate for Mr. Milo and some food to boot! I guess I'll have to get him a collar and leash (if he didn't go to the vet with it on) and some bowls too. Right now he'll just get food in our regular bowl until I have time to go buy him something nice and durable.



I'm not sure when he'll be able to be bathed, but hopefully soon. I wish I could use… Continue

So Milo is currently still at the vet's office. I was told this morning that they went ahead and treated him with heartworms (which wasn't a bad infestation) and neutered him also.



I'm not sure when I'll get to pick him up. I told the animal control officer the name I gave him (in my head as I never actually called it to his face) and she said its perfect. She was telling me how happy he was to get attention from people (which definitely makes me think he's a true corgi) and how he… Continue

Just got a call after the health check....heart worm positive. They'll need someone to sponsor about 200 bucks. I'm not sure what that entails. I know that it is a bad thing, but still.

The animal control officer called me and told me the quarantine band has been lifted from the shelter yesterday. Woot! She also told me (just a few minutes ago) that she's taking "my baby" to the vet for his check up and if that goes well he will be neutered! I hate that she's calling him "my baby" because I don't want to get attached and I think that's what she's trying to do..the mean woman. He seems like he's a sweetie.



I'm debating on naming him. I'm afraid of getting terribly… Continue

Outside of the potty training issue that has cropped up (which may possibly be a territorial thing *shrugs*) things have been going relatively smooth in terms of the food aggression.



Both dogs are separated when feeding. Freya goes into her crate to eat and Cloud goes in the hallway. She eats significantly slower than Cloud, and if he even steps foot in the room she will start growling. Keep in mind, she is locked in her crate so there's no way anything could be stolen. We've been… Continue
