Farewell to Dory

Dory and I leave for her forever home this afternoon. None of the sedatives we tried work for her so any and all positive, calming thoughts this afternoon/tonight will be appreciated. The vet thinks there's a connection that's gone haywire with her due to her neurological issues and that's why nothing works for her. I've done the best I could with getting her used to the Sherpa, but she still doesn't like it. I'll be returning early Saturday morning. I'm going to miss her like crazy. She's the sweetest little girl and always greets us with a spin and a woooo-wooo-wooo when we come home from being gone.

Sunday morning I'll be picking up Biscuit, my new hospice foster. Here is her profile on the CFPR website: http://www.centralfloridapugrescue.org/our-pugs/hospice-pugs/buiscut/4755/

Thank you for all you do!

Indeed, Sabra. Bless you for your caring heart. Biscuit is adorable, and will be living the good life with you.

Safe travels! Calm travels for Dory!

Hugs, you did a great thing for her.

You've done a great job and given her a wonderful start to her new life. Hope the trip is not traumatic.

Thinking good, calming thoughts for your trip with Dory.

Dory and Biscuit are both lucky girls.

Lots safe travel and calming thoughts from us!

I bet she will be ok cause she will be right with you! Lola flew and was crate trained but had never even been in a sherpa type bag. She did great. Whined a little at first but with the noise of the plane no one could hear her! She settled down and slept the entire flight and she was only like 18 mos old.

Thinking lots of good thoughts for Dory!

Safe and calm travels to you and Dory, such an emotional trip for you both.

Biscuit is so sweet ! I can' wait to hear more about her and see pictures

Good luck! Hope all goes well. And thank you for taking in Biscuit too!!

Thanks all. We're headed to the airport in a little bit. I was up all night sick to my stomach. I'm rubbing Dory down with lavender oil in hopes that will help calm her. I can't wait until we land safely in Spokane and she can come out of her Sherpa. I think this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, next to having Mattie put to sleep last year (a year ago next week). It's a very emotional week for me, but I know I'll pull through.

Good luck to you, Sabra. I'm sending calm, peaceful thoughts to Dory. I hope the trip is as uneventful as possible.

Good luck Dory!!

I've been thinking of you both all day long. I know you'll do great and once Dory is in her new home, you can relax a little and enjoy the wonderful thing you've done.
I love you chica! You are a great friend and a wonderful pug mom and a damn good rescuer! Can't wait to hear that you're home and safe and that the new baby is on her way to you.

Keepus posted Sabra.... Hope your flight was OK.. Good luck to little Miss Dory

Hope it all went well for you both!

Sabra was in Spokane last night...just texted her to see how things went. I'm sure all is well!

looking forward to hearing about your trip. safe travels!

Thanks all. Dory had a little bit of a freak out the last 30 minutes of our 9-hour flight. All in all, she did great. She settled in wonderfully with her new siblings and her new mom loves her to pieces. I couldn't have found a better home for her.



Biscuit is now home with me and she is the sweetest little thing. She's all of 11 pounds and just a little angel. So much of her reminds me of Mattie. I'll post more tomorrow.

WOW! Sounds like she did really well, all things considered. So glad that she's settled in and happy.

Looking forward to some Biscuit stories....

Glad you are home and safe and can't wait to hear more about the new baby, Biscuit. Love ya girl!

Very glad that the trip was mostly good, that Dory is in a great furever home, that you are back home, and that Biscuit is safe with you. I can't wait to see pics and hear stories, too.
