New Updates soon to come. . .

Hi everyone out there. This is Dana, Quincy's mum. I had a nice long talk with Quincy and we have decided to allow the rest of the "Zoo crew" to post on here too. So the blog is going to be going some major changes. We are all going to do our best to at least have one post a day/night. Quincy and I both feel as tho its going to be easier for everyone to take turns on posting. Rather than just leaving everything up to him. He is happy about it and the other critters are excited to get to know everyone and introduce themselves. Introductions are soon to come. . . For now we all want to wish you a very Merry Christmas (hope it was wonderful) and a very Happy New Years!! XoXo to all.

Dana, Quincy & The Zoo Crew.

Happy. . . .

Turkey day everyone. Hope you all have a very blessed happy Thanksgiving day!!

Cheater!!

Caught red handed!

He promised I was the only one. . . Then I found this!!!

And this!!! An even worse yet. . . .

This!!!

I am just speechless. I can't believe he'd do this to me. The Lil cheater!! I thought I was his only!!

Been a while. . . . . .

Yeah so it's been a while since I posted anything. Things been chaotic around here to say the least. Mom is back at work and has been for almost 8 months. We have a bunch of additions to our zoo-crew. Which includes 5 female rats, 2 female gerbils, a female guinea pig, a boat load of hermit crabs, and various aquatic life. I'm OK with everyone living here 'cept those darned rats. When I lay near their cage they pull my hair or tail into their cage and either pull my hair out or try to bite me. They are just -- and daddy agrees with me on this one -- YUCKY!!! I wanna eat them so bad but momma won't let me.

Don't know if I told you's or not but we have another biped too. His name is Christopher William and hes going to be 11 months old soon. He's my lil pal!! I've included a pic of him. How stinking cute is he????

On another note Momma had my pictures taken at her work by a "professional photographer". Whatever that is?!?! Momma was happy with them -- I didn't cooperate at all, but mom loves them. But I was told she can't put them up anywhere because they are "special". So that kinda stinks but they do look good or so I am told. ;-)

I miss all my bloggin friends and my Bama. But I promise to try to update more often. Miss you all!! XOXO

My Vet Visit

As most of you already know I had my yearly vet visit and check-up this past week. It went pretty well if I do say so myself. I now weight in at 60.5 lbs -- Which my vet said is GREAT!! He complemented my mom on how well behaved I was. He told her that my teeth are in excellent condition. I had my shots, a heart worm test, and a fecal test done. All which was negative -- I assume that is good. Because after mom got the call that the tests were negative I got to have my yummy pill. I did in true Siberian Husky standards give the doctor a hard time when he wanted to drawl my blood. I immediately hit the deck and rolled over. He actually had to drawl my blood while I was upside down. HA HA serves him right -- I can't believe he actually thought I was going to make it easy for him. After all -- I am a husky! ;-)

Best part about the whole ordeal was afterwards my mom took me to the store and I got to get a few "goodies" as she likes to call them. I picked out a real ham bone -- YUM YUM!! A new kong toy and a chew-lot-a-bone -- even tho they don't last me very long, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! Oh and I got a new doggie bed too. Yeah I am all for this shot business if I get the star treatment like this everytime after!! But that's between all us DWB's. ;-)

New pics are forth coming. I gotta find out how to get them out of moms new camera thingy!!

That time of the year again

Eh -- It's happened, it's that time of the year again -- Yearly check up. Which means I get shots and tests and all that other good stuff that goes along with it. BOO!!! The only good thing about it is I get to go with just my mommy and afterwards I always get to go to the store to get a new toy and a bone. Yeah that's right I am spoiled and a brat -- Be jealous!! I go tomorrow and will blog and let everyone know how things went afterwards! Paws crossed for me! Mom thinks I got too fat -- How rude!!!

Tear Jerker -- Beware!!

This is a re-post. I did NOT write this.

Even if it is fictional, it sends a strong message.

Spay and Neuter your pets!

Pass it on...

"I found this on a website called www.helpsaveone.org. It's a wonderful website and it helps animals about.

Yes, I Gas Dogs and Cats for a Living. I'm an Animal Control officer in a very small town in central North Carolina. I'm in my mid thirties, and have been working for the town in different positions since high school. There is not much work here, and working for the county provides good pay and benefits for a person like me without a higher education. I'm the person you all write about how horrible I am. I'm the one that gasses the dogs and cats and makes them suffer. I'm the one that pulls their dead corpses out smelling of Carbon Monoxide and throws them into green plastic bags. But I'm also the one that hates my job and hates what I have to do. First off, all you people out there that judge me, don't. God is judging me, and I know I'm going to Hell. Yes, I'm going to hell. I wont lie, it's despicable, cold, cruel and I feel like a serial killer. I'm not all to blame, if the law would mandate spay and neuter, lots of these dogs and cats wouldn't be here for me to gas. I'm the devil, I know it, but I want you people to see that there is another side to me the devil Gas Chamber man. The shelter usually gasses on Friday morning. Friday's are the day that most people look forward to, this is the day that I hate, and wish that time will stand still on Thursday night. Thursday night, late, after nobody's around, my friend and I go through a fast food line, and buy 50 dollars worth of cheeseburgers and fries, and chicken. I'm not allowed to feed the dogs on Thursday, for I'm told that they will make a mess in the gas chamber, and why waste the food. So, Thursday night, with the lights still closed, I go into the saddest room that anyone can every imagine, and let all the doomed dogs out out their cages. I have never been bit, and in all my years doing this, the dogs have never fought over the food. My buddy and I, open each wrapper of cheeseburger and chicken sandwich, and feed them to the skinny, starving dogs. They swallow the food so fast, that I don't believe they even taste it. There tails are wagging, and some don't even go for the food, they roll on their backs wanting a scratch on their belly's. They start running, jumping and kissing me and my buddy. They go back to their food, and come back to us. All their eyes are on us with such trust and hope, and their tails wag so fast, that I have come out with black and blues on my thighs.. They devour the food, then it's time for them to devour some love and peace. My buddy and I sit down on the dirty, pee stained concrete floor, and we let the dogs jump on us. They lick us, they put their butts in the air to play, and they play with each other. Some lick each other, but most are glued on me and my buddy. I look into the eyes of each dog. I give each dog a name. They will not die without a name. I give each dog 5 minutes of unconditional love and touch. I talk to them, and tell them that I'm so sorry that tomorrow they will die a gruesome, long, torturous death at the hands of me in the gas chamber. Some tilt their heads to try to understand. I tell them, that they will be in a better place, and I beg them not to hate me. I tell them that I know I'm going to hell, but they will all be playing with all the dogs and cats in heaven. After about 30 minutes, I take each dog individually, into their feces filled concrete jail cell, and pet them and scratch them under their chins. Some give me their paw, and I just want to die. I just want to die. I close the jail cell on each dog, and ask them to forgive me. As my buddy and I are walking out, we watch as every dog is smiling at us and them don't even move their heads. They will sleep, with a full belly, and a false sense of security. As we walk out of the doomed dog room, my buddy and I go to the cat room. We take our box, and put the very friendly kittens and pregnant cats in our box. The shelter doesn't keep tabs on the cats, like they do the dogs. As I hand pick which cats are going to make it out, I feel like I'm playing God, deciding whose going to live and die. We take the cats into my truck, and put them on blankets in the back. Usually, as soon as we start to drive away, there are purring cats sitting on our necks or rubbing against us. My buddy and I take our one way two hour trip to a county that is very wealthy and they use injection to kill animals. We go to exclusive neighborhoods, and let one or two cats out at a time. They don't want to run, they want to stay with us. We shoo them away, which makes me feel sad. I tell them that these rich people will adopt them, and if worse comes to worse and they do get put down, they will be put down with a painless needle being cradled by a loving veterinarian. After the last cat is free, we drive back to our town. It's about 5 in the morning now, about two hours until I have to gas my best friends. I go home, take a shower, take my 4 anti-anxiety pills and drive to work.. I don't eat, I can't eat. It's now time, to put these animals in the gas chamber. I put my ear plugs in, and when I go to the collect the dogs, the dogs are so excited to see me, that they jump up to kiss me and think they are going to play. I put them in the rolling cage and take them to the gas chamber. They know. They just know. They can smell the death.. They can smell the fear. They start whimpering, the second I put them in the box. The boss tells me to squeeze in as many as I can to save on gas. He watches. He knows I hate him, he knows I hate my job. I do as I'm told. He watches until all the dogs, and cats (thrown in together) are fighting and screaming. The sounds is very muffled to me because of my ear plugs. He walks out, I turn the gas on, and walk out. I walk out as fast as I can. I walk into the bathroom, and I take a pin and draw blood from my hand. Why? The pain and blood takes my brain off of what I just did. In 40 minutes, I have to go back and unload the dead animals. I pray that none survived, which happens when I over stuff the chamber. I pull them out with thick gloves, and the smell of carbon monoxide makes me sick. So does the vomit and blood, and all the bowel movements. I pull them out, put them in plastic bags. They are in heaven now, I tell myself. I then start cleaning up the mess, the mess, that YOU PEOPLE are creating by not spay or neutering your animals. The mess that YOU PEOPLE are creating by not demanding that a vet come in and do this humanely. You ARE THE TAXPAYERS, DEMAND that this practice STOP! So, don't call me the monster, the devil, the gasser, call the politicians, the shelter directors, and the county people the devil. Heck, call the governor, tell him to make it stop. As usual, I will take sleeping pills tonight to drown out the screams I heard in the past, before I discovered the ear plugs. I will jump and twitch in my sleep, and I believe I'm starting to hallucinate. This is my life. Don't judge me. Believe me, I judge myself enough."

1/2 way there!!

OK so we are 1/2 way there with the OK for fostering. Mom & dad are on board. Where's the other half come into play you ask? -- Well see mom & dad don't own our house. We rent and our landlord is an awesome guy and loves dogs. Espically huskys but we aren't sure how hes going to feel about us fostering. Dad is supposed to talk to him about it this weekend and hopefully get the other half needed for us to go ahead with it. I am hoping and keeping my paws crossed that he gives us the go ahead. I am really looking forward to having pups to help out. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Oh yeah and those good old sibe vibes we all know work so well!!! ;-)

PS-> Bama I haven't heard from you in a LONGGG time. Do woo think of me?? Because I still think of you -- ALOT!! XXOOXXOO

Fostering

I am kind of excited -- Why you ask -- Well mom & dad are talking about fostering huskys. They have been considering it for a long time. An already are deeply involved in husky rescues. But there are a few dogs that are in desperate need of help right now and no one is able to take them. So mom & dad are taking about helping out by fostering at least one of them. Paws crossed that they do -- I want some new playmates and I can't wait to help other huskys in need learn what its like to have a warm bed to sleep in and a full bowl every morning and evening.

My new brother

Hi everypup. I know it's been a LONG time since I blogged. I have been quite busy and actually was on vacation with my DWB brother. But I am home now and things are getting back to normal.

I am going to keep this post short and sweet. I just basically wanted to introduce my new biped brother. His name is Christopher William and he was born on December 5th, 2008. He was 3 weeks early and was a whopping 10lbs 4ozs and 22 inches long. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?!?!
