k9angel Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Alaska has now been vetted and goes to her new home tommorow. I was so worried when she went in for her op. I was fearing the worst. She is going on 9 yrs old and also had a small mammay lump that had to come off. I was scared something might go wrong, but it didn't. She handled it extremely well and passed her check up with flying colours. The vet nurse said she was a good girl all day. The vet did a fantastic job. I had to go to Gypsy's vet as my rescue vet couldn't fit her in until the end of the week and also wanted to charge quiet a bit extra for the mammary lump to come off. The vet I went to charged almost half the price. She has 2 lots of stitches and the wounds are nice and clean. Her new Mummy cannot wait to take her home and spoil her. She knows Alaska will have to be kept quiet whilst she still has he stitches in and will be taking her to her own vet for their removal. I was already crying earlier today when I edited her Petrescue listing to say she is going on trial 17.7.11. I am going to miss her alot, but I know her new family can give her way more one on one attention than I can and that is what Alaska needs and deserves. It will be one teary farewell. Penny has promised to send pics and keep me updated so I will post them here when I get them. I still cannot believe she is leaving... I will give her one last brush in the morning and give her lots of cuddles and kisses before her new parents arrive to pick her up. Alaska is not only proof that long termers can find their happy ending - but also proof that there are people out there seeking older dogs, just like her.

k9angel Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Sorry guys, I have been meaning to update this thread. Sadly, Alaska's trial/home didn't work out and she was returned back to us. I was very sad for her but happy to see her again. She is safe here and this will be her home until that forever home comes along, and if it doesn't, this will be her forever home.

ninahartland Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Oh thats a sad update...but I'm sure for whatever reason she's happy to be back with you anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Better that she comes back to you if it wasn't working. I was going to pm you and see if you were back actively rescuing as I was planning on going back to fostering when Ricky went and three months on I'm still not close to ready. So I was wondering if you were feeling the same or whether bringing new life into the house worked for you? At least Alaska and you already have a bond.

k9angel Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 While I am updating, a little update on Alaska aswell. She is still with us and doing fine. She is happy and content and has also lost a little weight. I am pleased about that as she was starting to really pack it on. My fault though. She was as thin as a rake when she arrived. She enjoyed a good brush today and a run in the yard. She gets a daily run in the yard and a good walk most nights. She's still very shy around new people, but she has come a long way to what she was when she arrived. I love her dearly. She is the sweetest girl and is absolutely no trouble whatsoever. I think her smile says it all. ;) (these were taken today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Alaska is a gorgeous girl Rach. The other night when I visited, she was very curious as to who the stranger was coming up the drive... she definitely has come a long way, and will continue to blossom under your care... of that I have no doubt!

k9angel Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 While I am updating, I thought I would do one for Alaska aswell. Yes Alaska is still with us. :) I have had a couple of enquiries for her but they have not been suitable. One had cats and the other sounded like a real no hoper. He couldn't make up his mind if he lost his dog a week ago or several weeks ago. One minute it was a he, then a she... it was one lie after the other. :rolleyes: Anyways, she is doing really well. She's happy and content and in no rush to leave. :) Some pics I have taken the last couple of days. Yesterday after a hose down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
