Many of you remember my post from a couple of months ago about Opal - we were dealing with some pretty significant behavior issues - none that were disclosed to us when we pulled along with other medical issues she deals with - but sometimes that is the way it goes - I can't count how many times she bit me - just randomly - like something would snap in her and that was it - food aggressive - charging other dogs and the list goes on - I know several rescues that would have euthanized her and do not think that it did not cross my mind as nobody likes to be on guard and just randomly get bit but I knew deep down there were issues that were not her fault - I do believe this girl was used for nothing more than breeding - not much human contact, not much socialization and did I really have time to work with yet another behavior dog - sadly no but you see Opal deserved it and we have worked hard together and 2 months ago if you would have asked me if I would let her kiss me in the face - I would have said no because there was always that chance that she would decide to bite - but today after much work and patience, we have made leaps and bounds and she loves nothing more than to lick my face , almost like she is saying thank you for not giving up on me
These underdogs deserve every chance we can give them - is it always ideal - of course it isn't but as a rescue , it is not always rainbows and unicorns - I do not know many people that do not have issues - dogs - well the issues they have behavior wise is almost always because of humans and the situation they came from - we did not give up and we continue to work together (Opal and I ) and make sure that she always knows she is safe and loved

When you have a house full of "hard" dogs that have been failed by society and The Wagner Zoo is their sanctuary - well my upcoming surgery this week is going to prove to be a challenge with some of the dogs here - I have been having a talk with Ridge every single day , explaining to him that I love that he is so very loyal to me but for a while he is going to have to let others take care of him , they will feed him, brush him, play ball with him - just like I do every single day - but it just won't be me doing it - he does listen but I am pretty sure it goes in one ear and out the other because all he is worried about in this picture is me throwing the ball again
The next couple of weeks will indeed be a challenge here at the Wagner Zoo but we will manage - we always do and I am going to try with everything in me to not do things I am not supposed to do and not be grouchy (my family that reads this will be rolling their eyes without a doubt)
Just a bump in the road but we are pretty accustomed to those bumps in the road

Updated Amazon Wish List with basic needs that will help stock us up before my surgery next week -
I looked for a cat straight jacket for one cat in particular but was unable to locate one - always nice when you go to an appointment this morning and the doctor says "Have you been fighting a lion" - umm no just a 9 pound cat named Tiny :/ - hot mess express is what he is

Any item sent is always appreciated

Yes we are still here and wanted to do one post to update on a couple of things - but first , I mean look at that precious face, our sweet boy Charlie is doing well - he goes back this Saturday for a follow up and then we start the basic vetting as he had no vaccine history (but was to sick when we got him to even think about starting that) , he needs to be heartworm tested and then eventually once we get the okay he will need to be neutered - but all in all after his big surgery for a blockage - he is doing great and Donna and Michael are taking excellent care of him.

No, there have not been many posts - I think I have had more doctors appointments myself in the past month than I have had in the past 15+ years , but need to get through one more this week and I have a surgery scheduled for next week and praying things will even out a little - The Wagner Zoo has been in an uproar as they are used to being on a pretty strict schedule and with all my appointments things have went a little off schedule and well they have not been impressed.
And now to figure out how to handle me not supposed to do a whole lot for a bit after surgery - this should be fun (no it wont be fun at all) but we will figure it out

I have several other updates to do and going to work on and no better time than after a surgery and you are supposed to be resting (lol) - they are going to have to strap me in -

Our behind the scenes BIG project is still going strong and a big announcement will be made this month and I am so so excited for this as it is big and going to be epic.

I am going to update our Amazon Wish List - to be honest I have not had time and have been just buying all the supplies myself for The Wagner Zoo and all the other fosters but it would be nice to be somewhat stocked up before my surgery next week as that will be one less thing to worry about. And I think Pickles running out of treats while I am down is not something I want to go through as he does not take that great.

We still continue to help families and other rescues with supplies and can't wait to be able to help even more families soon with new programs starting soon.

But first as I said before - for once I am having to take care of me first and that is exactly what I am doing - does rescue stop - nope it sure does not and everything is getting handled - I am just shorter on time to be able to post than normal

Thank you all for your patience - we love you all - our rescue family is the best

As always we love seeing pictures of our BBOM alumni. So here is Jovie. She was one of the 11 puppies we rescued off of a property in SC. Jovie (AKA Nala) has been thriving in her furever home. She loves hiking and camping and all things outdoors. She is a super healthy girl who is loved beyond measure. She has brought so much love and joy to the Smela family. Pictures like this just warm the heart.
