Pumpkin Baby!

Today is Pumpkin's 3rd day with us and it was my turn to stay home from work with her. Yay!!! She's leaving us in the morning to start her transport to go to Momma Erica and to all her Doctors so I just had to spend every minute with her! Her condition is improving more and more each day and we couldn't be any happier. She's RUNNING all over the house!!!Certainley not what we expected.She's napping, eating, and playing her heart out right on schedule. She's definently a chewer and she's teething like crazy.Her stool is firm today and the mess is less =) Her desitin and powder are keeping her dry and she's slowly healing, My whole family has fallen in love with this little one;she is a wonderful spirit to have around. We will miss her terribly and better be updated by whoever has her!...or I'll cry =(

Awwww! Foster daddy took the day off work to care for Pumpkin!

Update written by foster mommy 8-13-08: "When I went home to the baby on lunch today she was doing great! Dad stayed home from work(Thanks Daddy!) to play with her and mommy's brother and sister came over to visit her so she had a busy morning (with naps in between of course). Everyone is absolutley in love with Pumpkin. She wins hearts in 5 seconds flat! She is very mobile now and likes to walk around with no help. It looks as if she can control her thighs but not the bottom half of her back legs. Also, she isn't leaking poop as bad either. Her little red bum looks like it's feeling much better and her energy level is up a bit. She's a hearty little girl and as soon as I pour her new food she's at attention. There is no way this baby is in condition to be euthanized. Her spirits and energy are high and she would tell you "nuffins wong wif me!" She seems healthy as can be other than her legs. She's a feisty one though! Likes to bite everything and bark at Brodie to make him play with her. Too cute! More pictures of the munchkin! She loves her brudders big toys!"

Update from our volunteer puller & foster mommy...

When Erica called me about this little one, I honestly didn't know what to expect. This gorgeous little 8 week old Bully was mistreated and dropped off at a shelter with the request of being euthanized. I was told she suffers from spnial bifida. It was apparent that she hadn't had much conatct with humans or other dogs, and she was red and sore from being forced to sit in her own bowel movements because she has no control over them. I was scared to say the least. She is our first foster baby and I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to handle a sad depressed little Bully. I also thought she wouldn't be able to walk.....Boy was I wrong! At first she was timid and shy but she warmed up after just 5 minutes at our home. She was grunting at me in the car and curious about the wind blowing in her face and the noises around her. She met our 10 month old Bully, Brodie as soon as she got here and LOVES him! She barks at him in this tiny little voice and he just backs up and lets her be the boss. It's adorable!!! We gave her a warm bath, and a big comfy bed with lots of toys. Her bum is feeling much better due to cloth diapers, Desitin, and baby powder =) She is a bundle of energy, bouncing around and chewing on everything she can. If her big (foster)brother runs, she runs. If he barks, she barks. Even though it's obvious something is wrong with her little self, she doesn't let it get to her. What a pair these two are together. With enough love and care she will have a great life =)

More pictures =) Her in the bath, with her foster brudder, with her new baby, Eyore, and lookin cute in her mommy made cloth diapers ( shes too small for even preemies diapers).

Spina Bifida Baby

Posted August 12, 2008 10:02 pm

Adopt-A-Bull Rescue is proud to announce the arrival of our first ever Spina Bifida bullie baby!!! This precious girl was slated for euthanasia, dropped off at a animal shelter in the Tampa area by her breeder who requested that she be euthanized. Thank God the shelter along with a wonderful rescue coordinator named Debbie reached out to bulldog rescue before fulfilling the breeder’s awful request. Prior to picking her up, we were told that she is 100% completely incontinent and has no use of her back legs at all. However, when one of our transport/foster volunteers on the West Coast picked her up and brought her home, she was able to stand up after a while, but was very shaky on her back legs. Hey! At least she can stand up on her own! We are so happy for that! This baby girl will be transported to Adopt-A-Bull headquarters in Broward County this weekend. For now, she’s in foster care with her temporary volunteer mommy.... and we are so jealous over here! We want to meet her sooooooo bad! This baby girl has a very irritated and sore tooshie, her butt constantly “leaks” poop due to her incontinence. (And maybe because she’s still on wet food) Foster daddy is on his way to the store to get diapers, Gold Bond, and Desitin. What awesome foster parents we have! We are so excited to get the opportunity to rescue a Spina Bifida baby, but not having one before - we are kinda nervous. More blog entries to come, for now, I’ll leave you with 5 pics that were taken this afternoon while she was still at the shelter.
