Celebration Station Trapper Update

Barb is on her way home. She reports that Don and she and Carol, pulled 6 dogs out of the lower ninth ward, after I left. One being a huge German shepherd. The shepherd had mange really bad. She was about half of her normal weight. She should have been around 120 lbs and weighted around 60lbs. She was very heartworm positive. Don has named her "Chance" and may be adopting her.

Puxley and puxleys mom, Precious are on there way home to Nebraska with Barb. Precious had been adopted out, but apparently she urinated in the new family's house, so she was returned. Barb just had to take her when she heard this. If you were alone in the wild jungle of flooded New Orleans for five months, fending for yourself, and then for a litter of puppies, you have the right to take a little time getting used to the indoor life again. When Barb brought the two dogs in one carrier on the plane, Precious, weighted 11 lbs, unoffically. Officially Continental Airlines bent the rules a little and she turned up weighting 9-1/2 lbs. THANK YOU Continental! Luckily both Puxley and Precious, formerly named PeeWee, both turned up heartworm negative. Precious needs to gain a little weight though. Her hip and back bone is perturding, so I am sure Barb will fatten her up right away. Precious spent her last night at Celebration Station curled up, first on the bunk of Carol Guzy, and then cuddled the rest of the night with Barb.

For those of you who know some of the trappers: Corolla, I understand she is heading home today. Don may be working for St. Francis Sanctuary. Al & Zoey are down at the ARNO site, but may end up working for St. Francis Sanctuary also. David and Craig are still around, but probably leaving soon. Sarah has plans to leave at the end of the month.
