Today, not so good

Cruddy day for dogs at TAS-S today. Last night I learned that Cloud had been returned. His new owner, who lived in a condo building, couldn't get Cloud to go pee outside. Cloud would hold it until he was back inside and then go on the carpet in the condo. I think who ever ends up with Cloud will need a backyard to make the training easier. Cloud will be much more comfortable in an enclosed outside space where he won't have to run away from noises and other scary things.

At least two of the dogs at TAS-S had parvo (brought it into the facility) and at least one of them had to be euthanized already. They were in Room 2 so all the dogs in that room, and there are quite a few of them, are quarantined until there is an all clear which might be days away. The cleaning is constant and the smell of bleach is everywhere.

Another dog was brought in this morning, left abandoned at a veterinary clinic and it's been throwing up non-stop. This dog is in Room 1 so hopefully it doesn't have anything contagious. It would really suck to have the dogs in Room 1 quarantined as well. This dog, a doe eyed yellow Lab, will need to see a vet immediately.

Perhaps the worst news is that the Jack Russell Terrier who came in all covered in bite punctures tried to bite two people today. This is the first time it's done anything like that so I think something is triggering it - maybe too much accumulated pent-up energy, maybe staring at the big dog across the corridor for too long. Plus the JRT has started coughing. So, with the biting and coughing, it's been moved to quarantine room (not the parvo room) to be checked out by the vet and further assessed.
