Bubba

Bubba arrived on 07/25/2009 from a Missouri puppymill. He is the most emotionally damaged dog I have had since Moe was here. Shell shocked , catatonic , I am not sure what to call it. He just sits and stares like the lights are on but nobody is home. I just sat and held him the entire first night he was here. And boy oh boy did that boy STINK to high heaven. I do not know how old he is , but he for sure has been marinating in his own waste for several years. At least they took the time to shave him down once in awhile as his hair was not to long.

He did not want to come out of the crate. I had to go in after him.

07/26/2009 - Volunteer Shari and I cleaned the puppymill stench off him. Getting rid of the smell of the concentration camp is the first step to healing. He just sat there trembling and to terrified to move a muscle.

All that hair is not his , there was also 4 new Pekes we shaved.

07/27/2009 - The old beagle boy Bert is a great comfort to him. Bert is not from a mill , he is from a research lab.

07/28/2009 -- More holding , he is still like a stuffed dog , no emotion what so ever. His eyes are still dead.

08/02/2009 - Bubba is now walking around the house some, careful to avoid all people.

08/20/2009 - Bubba was neutered and we found that ALL his teeth were ground down to the gum line from chewing on the wire cage , in an effort to get out. ALL had to be pulled , Bubba is also Blind.
