Does Your Tongue Hang Low?

Does your tongue hang low?




Does it wobble to and fro?




Can you tie it in a knot?




Can you tie it in a bow?




Can you throw it o'er your shoulder like a continental soldier?




Does your tongue hang low?




Now that I have that song stuck in my head. Let me ask you a question...

Does this look like the face of evil?



Holli thinks Beth is bat-sh*t crazy.



Holli told me that when I was checking her whole body for bite wounds right after Beth tried to take a chunk out of Holli's nose. Poor old girl.


Beth has a problem. We think she is a ball-rage-aholic




Beth does not play well with others.



Holli doesn't care, she is a happy girl.



Yesterday a lovely retired couple came to visit her and they want to adopt her! They recently lost their 15 y/o border collie and are familiar with the needs of a senior dog. It takes a special family to adopt a senior dog.

I was going to take Holli to her new home today but we need to make a trip to the vet first. Yesterday Holli was stricken by the worse case of bloody diarrhea I have ever seen. She is still eating well, devouring her food like a maniac, however she is squirting large amounts of bloody runny poo out her backside on a regular basis.

Egads I feel like I am marooned on an island in the sea of runny poo.

I told her adoptive family about her changing condition and they said they would take her to the vet - but I cannot place a dog in this condition. I am hoping and praying it is something simple - from the stress of being dumped at the shelter then moved to two foster homes. (Just in case you are wondering...It isn't the cherries, we have them all picked up).

Say a prayer for Holli...that she is healthy enough for her new home very soon.

UPDATE: We went to the vet (thank goodness they are open 24 hours a day). The vet is treating her for stress induced colitis. She should be fine and is going to her new home tomorrow afternoon! YEEEHAW!

What a wonderful couple to offer to take her to the vet. You know they really want HER and not just any BC. I hope she improves quickly. I'm sorry about her getting chewed up by Beth!
Your photos and "song" are great. Had us laughing!
