Yesterday evening we went to Walmart and got them collars and tags (because if they ever "run off" again, we want them to have a HOME to come back to), special treats (for training & lovin'), allergy medication (for Sassy), shampoo, and of course FOOD. Today, after the garage sale, we made the trek over to PetSmart to get their nails done & ears cleaned, and Monday they have an appointment to see the doctor for a good once-over. If anyone comes out of the woodwork to claim them, they're pretty much out of luck at this point, unless they'd like to reimburse us for all of the money we'll have spent on them...And that's if they even WANT to leave. I'm pretty sure they're happy where they're at though!
The groomer at PetSmart said she is 150% sure they are Schnauzers, though "not the best bred" she's ever seen. HA! They absolutely HATED having their nails done, and the ear cleaning & plucking was horrible to watch. Apparently, they weren't very "well" taken care of...they just weren't raised on the streets or anything. Neither of them has been spayed, so that is another giant expense we will take on, but again, it's all about Karma. And I keep going back to the fact that if it was me, and I was Sassy or Sissy, I would just PRAY that a nice family would take me in and give me something to eat, a shower, a pedicure, and some love. So even though it might cost us a crapton of money, we are doing the right thing.
I am posting photos now because they are now OUR dogs. I didn't want to post any photos earlier, just in case some fake owners decided they were cute and wanted to steal them from us. lol.

After baths, they're SO relaxed!

ReplyDeleteLooks likes you are keeping these cuties, but I think
She has info on a place in Indy that offers inexpensive
Spay and neutering services. I can get the info for you.
Hope the garage sale is going well.
