2/27/06 Bye-bye Puppy Angels

I took the group to the airport this morning to send them back to snowy New Hampshire. From the left are Sherry, Linda, Dean (the veterinarian), Kim, and myself. They worked incredibly hard during the four days in the clinic and then got too much sun on their two down days but I think that they had a good time in Grenada.

They also took two hitchhikers back with them. Smiley has a fractured acetabulum which has already started to heal incorrectly so he will require a femoral head and neck ostectomy (removal of the head of the femur) in order to be comfortable for the rest of his life. Asha is pretty healthy but her mange seems to be coming back and will require more treatment. These two dogs, as well as many others from Antigua, will be treated at Dean’s veterinary hospital and then go on to the good life in a loving home in New Hampshire!
