Sorry for the delay 

in this update, 

we've had our hands FULL!!

Full with PUPPIES!! 

Just to be clear, Willie is doing wonderfully and we can't wait to see his next CBC test numbers. I hope it stays or goes above 44%! He's king of the house and he knows it!

He's been acting like a prince lately though since we have company over for the next couple months. We have Cassie and the Jane Austen Book Club puppies. Long title I know!

I wanted to name the puppies with names that I thought the owners would still keep and that there was a connection to their litter since they'll probably be adopted separately.

So the names are:

Cassie: Cassandra (Jane Austen's mother and sister's name.) That's the mama pup. 1-2 years old
Darcy: or Mr. Darcy when he gets older is the long haired, fluffy boy that everyone adores. Oh, he's Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
Lizzy: Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice. She's the palest compared to the other pups.
Jane: Jane Austen's first name. Jane looks like Lizzy but with her ears sticking out and she's a week older. She has puffy lower eyelids.
Austen: Looks like Jane but a tanner shade and a bit smaller. Plus he's a boy. He has some tear stains on his face but they're coming off soon.
Emma: From the book, Emma. She's the baby girl of the group. She's a bit more tan compared to the rest. She's also from another litter like Lizzy but Cassie has taken her in as her own.

The pups now are about 5-6 weeks old. Lizzy and Emma are on the younger end. :]

These pups were rescued from a cruelty case. Where there were 84 dogs found with no electricity, water, or food. FLDR helped save these puppies with the help of their Angels: Cleo, Leslie, Randy, and Mary!!!

They're not ready for adoption yet because the little ones are still drinking from Cassie. We'll have to wait for her milk to dry up before she can get spayed and then she can be adopted. While the puppies need to wait until get their vaccinations and snip snip too.

Until then, feel free follow their updates on our Facebook or here! We tend to update the Facebook daily!

Cassie the "mama" that is so sweet and cuddly that you can't forget that she's also a young pup herself. She loves her human and would love to cuddle with a new family like yours! :]

Little Emma

Little Lizzy

Jane

Austen with Jane in the back Don't let the picture mislead you, Jane is the one usually making a fuss.

Day 8: Willie's getting better!

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 01:04:00 +0000

Today was the first time we've seen him SMILE!!!

We took him out to walk for a bit and he went #1 and then #2 for a very long time!

I got it on video! After he was done, he started scooting his tushy on the floor!

I think his anal sacs are full. =/

So his RBC count dropped last night from 28% to 25% this morning and guess what it is now!!

24%!! So we've slowed down the RBC destroying process!

But we're still waiting to hear from the specialist tomorrow about the Babesiosis!

WE LOVE WILLIE & WANT HIM HOME!

We admit that the hospital bills are getting a bit high but we don't regret starting him on the blood transfusions. We want him to live a long, peaceful life with us. But we have to be realistic and know when to admit that we need help.

We, honestly, wouldn't be asking for help unless we really needed it. Our family suggested putting a PayPal link on our website to see if we could get any donations. A dollar here and there will add up pretty quickly if everyone gives up one cup of coffee or a pack of gum.

If you don't know Willie’s story, here it is:

Willie, also known as "One Eye Willie," was found in the Orlando, Florida as a stray. His left eye was already surgically removed and so that indicated that he must have come from a loving family for them to pay for that operation; so they kept him in animal control longer in hopes that his family can be found. They called around to ask vets in the area if they have any records of performing an operation similar to Willie's recently but no one had any records of Willie. So while Willie was facing death row at animal control, a sweet lady from the Florida Little Dog Rescue was asked if she could help One Eye Willie although he was an older dog that needed his teeth cleaned, ear infection taken care of, and matted hair removed. She couldn't say no to that adorable face of his and so he became fostered under the Florida Little Dog Rescue Organization.

The Florida Little Dog Rescue Organization was in need of foster homes since most of their fosters went on vacation for the summer so the Foster Fairy, me, and my partner volunteered to foster another pup alongside Tabby the 6 month yorkie with the broken arm that eventually got amputated. We were given a couple options to pick to help with the foster surplus but when we heard about Willie's story we couldn't turn him down. We rushed over to the West Orange Veterinary Hospital in Winter Garden, FL to pick him up.

It was love at first sight when we saw the little guy. We couldn’t bear to let him go and so introduced him to our family who without a doubt also fell in love and wanted to adopt him right on the spot! When it was time for Willie’s daddy to go home without Willie, he seemed so sad to see him go. We thought he was depressed but noticed other symptoms. Willie stopped eating, started to be lethargic, was urinating blood mixed pigment, had tarry stool, and his gums were turning yellow/white. Willie had suddenly gotten so sick that the vet had to break the news to us that he might not make it.

Thinking back on the day that we took him to the vet always breaks me to tears. I play back that moment over and over in her head. Imagine crying over Willie’s almost lifeless body as the vet tells you that it’s okay to let him go and that there was no guarantee him surviving even if he got the blood transfusions. I know that the vet was trying to comfort me in case I chose to let him go. But I couldn’t do it; I could not let him go so quickly.

We went with the second option of taking him to the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center (VSEC), a 24-hour multi-specialty referral and emergency hospital in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The vet called ahead and we were taken in right away. Willie was immediately given oxygen and a blood transfusion. After five days in the hospital and four blood transfusions, Willie showed little improvement. His red blood cell count started at 8% when a healthy dog would be at 43%-59%. Throughout the week, Willie’s count went up and down between high twenties back down to low teens every night.

It had gotten to the point where the vet had gotten nervous too because most owners would have had their dogs euthanized because the lack of response to the medication and the increasing costs of the vet bills in the thousands prevent owners from continuing on with the treatments. The vet suggested a new a bit more expensive drug that would show immediate results if it worked and Willie would have to stay on for 2-4 month after he returns home. All we heard was “when he returns home” and stuck to that sense of hope.

Day 5 after he started the new medication, Willie started to eat again. Day 6, he’s eating and drinking on his own and has gone 2 days without a blood transfusion. However, he dropped down to 15% after the two days and so we hope that means the new medication is helping slow down his body from destroying his Red Blood Cells. Day 6, he’s getting his 5^th transfusion and we’ll see what happens from now on.

Day 7 will put us over $5,000 in vet bills without the aid of pet insurance because Willie got sick the day we adopted him. So it was too late to get pet insurance since they would’ve probably considered it a pre-existing condition although it suddenly happened.

We want to be clear that Willie’s story shouldn’t scare you from adopting because we have no regrets about adopting Willie. He's unique and his situation is unique. His story shouldn't affect anyone's decision to opt to adopt because obviously it's worth it to us to have him in our life. He fills a void that can't be filled by money. I just want to be clear that his condition is rare, one in a thousand cases. So if you have the time, space, and heart. Please consider saving a dog from death row, please adopt.

So in exchange for your donation, I’ll update daily on his progress with status updates, photos, videos, tweets, and blog entries. You’ll also have our gratitude for helping saving our Willie the One Eye Wonder. :]

Thank you!

Day 6: Willie gets to see his daddy!

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 03:00:00 +0000

Willie Update!

Willie has gone 2 days without a blood transfusion. However, by the time we saw him his RBC count was 15% and his gums were as pale as the first day at the hospital; so he got his 5th blood transfusion tonight. He ate twice today; once in the morning and once with us. We got him New York Strip flavored beef and gravy... and it was "Willie approved." We got to walk him again where he went #1 for about a minute.

His reaction to Papa Foster Fairy?

Even in his weaken state he recognized his smell and went directly to him although we made him hide in the corner. He had his good eye locked on him once he was carried into the room. He didn't have enough energy but we know that he would've wanted to climb and shake his tail so hard that he could've flown into his arms, if he could.

Willie will be in the hospital for a couple more days. They'll try to limit the unnecessary tests to keep our costs down but it's still worth it. They are hoping that the new medication is slowing down his body from destroying his red blood cells. We are too!

Willie's Progress after 48 hours at VSEC

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 23:04:00 +0000

They haven't checked his RBC count since this morning so it's still on paper as 29%. I don't know why but time seems to fly by so fast when we're him. We spent close to two hours with him.

His papa got to Skype with him and the vet. We got an itemized report today to see what medicines he's been taking. He seems to be on prednisone, aspirin, doxy,ampicillin, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, and some more doxy.

He still eats using IV bags. I did feed him a little by placing it on his tongue with my finger. It had to be very mushy food to keep it on his tongue otherwise he would push it out. He actually tries to toss food bowls away with his head! I also gave him a mini sponge bath since he tends to pee a lot and stain his fur.

He's still lethargic, his a pinkish yet orange tinted cums, perks up a little when he goes outside to walk, and his pee doesn't seem to be mixed with the blood pigment anymore or not as much to notice. We talked to the doctor and tried to get his take on Willie's progress since it seems to go up and down. The doctor says it'll take a couple more days so we're fine with that. Things look a lot better than it did at the first vet's office when Willie's body shut down on us and had to be resuscitated. It was such a horrible feeling to have to decide his fate. But we're going to do everything we can for him! Thanks for all your support!

Willie is in the hospital

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 01:52:00 +0000

Our baby Willie's body suddenly decided to attack his red blood cells so he became lethargic, stopped eating, started to have blood in his urine and stool, and his gums turned white/yellow.

It happened so fast that we are still in shock. He honestly was like an empty shell. He seemed to quietly be in pain begging us to help.

They believe he has Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA).

We were given two disheartening options:

To go to the specialist to do more blood work, an abdomen ultrasound, blood transfusions, and to stay in the hospital at least 48 hours.
Or to let him go.

Some of you may or may not know that I've already recently lost my Jonah on July 13, 2011 due to a car accident and we had no say in his outcome.

But today we had a say and we said that we adopted Willie because we love him and we're going to keep fighting for him. So we went ahead with the blood transfusions even if it costs an arm and a leg... well we hope not since he already only has one eye... but we'll love him just the same, if not more.

Note: We were video chatting with his papa that's back home in Florida. We're glad he didn't go back with him because he would've been sick the entire ride there and we wouldn't have noticed his symptoms in time.

When we decided to adopt Willie yesterday, that meant he was Ohana and you know what that means.

Willie Update

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:55:00 +0000

Willie's having a blast up North visiting my family.

He just sleeps all day and gets excited when he sees his papa. He's fine with children for a short period of time. He does get a bit grouchy when he just wakes up and may growl a little to tell you he hadn't had his morning "coffee" to wake him up.

He's been in a room with 15 people and he just slept quietly with his papa. He seems to like the scent of men and their feet. Weird?

Tabby's broken arm has been amputated

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 02:29:00 +0000

Our poor sweetie went through so much yesterday. She had her arm amputated, was sedated, and couldn't move that much after her surgery. But the worst part of all was that she was so hungry!

She didn't eat for a whole day since she couldn't eat before surgery and that anesthesia made her too numb to move her jaw that she couldn't eat! I heard her belly growling as I slowly poured water into her mouth. Once she got a little bit of control of her tongue, I gave her peanut butter and tried wet food and smashing up dry food for some reason. I just wanted her to eat! But I found out that she wouldn't be able to do so until the next day. :[

She cried if she thought we weren't there. We held her like a newborn, cuddled up in a towel the WOVH gave us probably a donation from wonderful person. She just kept looking at us to make sure that we were there. It was a long night. She didn't seem to be in that much pain; having pain killers help. But she's a strong pup and I know she'll be back to tackling "One Eye" Willie soon!

He's only 7lbs so far! We'll plump him up for sure!

He's friendly and has a sweet smile.

He loves napping all day and being close to you.

He came to us with one eye, an ear infection and bad teeth.

We took care of it all; he still has one eye but it's a healthy eye!

I would name him Mike, Mike Wazowski, or course from Disney's Monster's Inc.

Tabby Update:

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:12:00 +0000

We took Tabby to see the vet yesterday. :[

Here's our plea:

"Meet Tabby the 6 month old, 6lb, yorkie. Animal Control called us this week with a plea for help! Tabby was brought in, and obviously in pain. She currently has a broken "arm" and she didn't let that stop her from breaking our hearts. One of our amazing volunteers immediately went over and whisked her off to the vet. We were hopeful it was a small fracture and her leg could be fixed.

Sadly, after evaluations by our orthopaedic vets, they have determined her leg can not be saved. She will remain in her splint to ease her pain until next week, when she will have surgery to amputate her leg. She won't let that keep her down for long though!

She's a playful and very curious pup that loves to follow you until the cows come home. She's definitely a lap dog that loves to give you kisses to show her affection. She loves rope toys, tiny tennis balls, and socks! She uses her splint as a hockey stick to play with the tennis balls. She has beautiful white teeth that make it seem as if she's smiling at you. She has so much spirit for a quiet little pup.
Please consider donating towards her surgery and follow-up care. She deserves a pain-free amazing life. Help us make her dreams come true!"

Day three with Tabby the yorkie with the broken arm

Since Tabby is a puppy, we're trying to introduce her to different things. Today we tried different noises and riding around in the car.

Good news:
She's not afraid of:
Thunderstorms, music, playing dress up, car rides, vacuums, and cameras. (I ran out of ideas.)

Here are some photos of our week so far!

"He didn't make it"

thefosterfairy@gmail.com (Charlie Lee) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 06:01:00 +0000

"He didn't make it," a dear friend tells me.
I went deaf. I'm not even sure what was said afterwards. All I could say was "okay." Repeating it over and over. There wasn't enough air in me to push out anything else besides the tears pouring down my face. My mind went blank.

"He didn't make it."

Jonah, my sweet teddy bear, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't be there with you right now. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. I'm sorry if you thought I abandoned you.

I should have been there. I should have flown down earlier to find you. I keep thinking of how scared and confused you were. How you probably thought I abandoned you. Or maybe you were searching for me. Then I think of Dakota and how heartbroken she must be. I know that your owner is in pain too. We all are.

I want to see you again. I want to be able to say goodbye.

I just hear the ticking of the clock.
I feel my lungs gasping for air.
I can't forget. I won't forget.

"He didn't make it."

Jonah, my sweet submissive boy, would follow Dakota and me around. He was in love with us ladies and was fine with following his heart. He loved to snuggle with me in bed. He loved to rest his head on Dakota when he took naps. He seemed more like a scaredy cat/chicken than a dog but I didn't mind. He was just a sweet teddy bear that would go into flight mode instead of fight mode. He was very timid around everyone and would run behind me for cover. My little boy would enjoy nibbling on rope toys and his stuffed penguin. He and Dakota would wrestle all the time and lose for the most part but that never stopped him from trying.

I watch videos and view photos. I don't think it really set in yet. My baby boy ... then I remember.

"He didn't make it."

Oh, I almost forgot how he enjoyed country music.
How adorable is that?

Oh and he hated hair dryers! He wasn't fans of vacuums, swifters, brooms, or anything that seemed to move quickly or near him.

Ha, the first couple of times, I would keep their leashes on while giving them a bath. Realized it was easier to get into the tub to wash both of them at the same time and stopped using the leash after that.

I can't imagine them apart.
It hurts me to think that now they are.

They loved going out for their walks together.

Jonah hardly barked.

He only barked because he thought

I forgot it was time to take him out.

He enjoyed running around the pool.

He was a very thirsty dog

so he must have thought that the pool

was a huge bowl of water just for him and Dakota!

I was so thrilled to get to the point
where I could let him off on his own during walks.
I'll keep him tied to Dakota's leash just in case though.
Just in case he got away, being tied to Dakota would impede him.

I have more videos on my computer at home.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I'm still waiting for a phone call.

I'm still waiting...

I love you my sweet Jonah.

A friend told me, "remember all dogs go to heaven."

What was I doing before I heard the news?
Looking for humane animal box traps to purchase to catch Jonah.
I then heard that he got hit by a car
and he was taken to the vet.
So for five minutes, I'm thinking at least we found him
and he can recover so I'll get to see him
when I fly back down in a couple days.

Then I find out...

"He didn't make it."
