He snorks and wheezes like a normal Pug, but nothing out of the ordinary. Tory still has some behavioral issues to work through, but I think he’s ready to start looking for a forever home.

When Adoption Fails

Nothing is more discouraging to a pet lover than a failed adoption. You fully intend to give a loving, permanent home to a pet in need, and instead you find yourself over your head with an unexpected medical or behavioral issue, or simply stuck with a pet that absolutely can’t mesh with your household. If you’re struggling to fit an adopted pet into your life, but just can’t make it work, please do not harm the pet or turn it loose to fend for itself.?It may be embarrassing to call the rescue and admit things aren’t working out, but you won’t be the first nor the last person to do so.

How to Tell If Your Rat Is Pregnant

So maybe your rat escaped and went canoodling in the bucks’ cage, or maybe you picked a suspiciously round female out from a feeder tank, or perhaps you’re breeding rats intentionally (if so, I hope you’re a reputable, responsible breeder)– either way, you need to know if she’s pregnant! Since rat gestation is only 21 days, it’s important to know when your doe is pregnant and when she’s due to deliver. The last thing you want is a surprise litter in? a cage full of other females, who might steal the babies and prevent them from nursing!

My New Foster Dog, Tory: Part Four

In part three,?a veterinarian diagnosed Tory with several health problems requiring surgical correction. Tory had surgery yesterday, and I’m pleased to report that he’s recovering well, although still pretty groggy and? achey. Now the real work begins: Tory needs obedience training, weight loss, and some work on his habit of urine marking before he will be ready for adoption! Thankfully, Tory’s sweet personality should overcome his forever home’s concerns about his health problems, when the time comes. He’s even won the vet over. She was sorry to see him go, and offered to keep her cell phone on at home last night in case there were any complications with Tory.
