The Iowa Castaways are Going to be Okay!

ALL of the Iowa Castaways are all doing well. Even Blue Boy who was scared of everything, no longer has to drag a leash when he is out in the yard. He now comes right up to me and leaps up at me! How nice to see him begin to really trust. Yesterday he came in thru the front door from the yard all on his own, I did not have to carry him. A giant step in progress for him!  ALL of these dogs have been very wary of coming thru doors. I wonder if they had gates or something slammed on them. Blue Boy and I sit and watch TV every night and the TV no longer frightens him. He is coming around very nicely.

Most of the Castaways Corgis are now at a proper weight. I no longer am feeding them all one and half cups in the morning and one and half cups in the evening. The Professor, Blue Boy, Captain, Skipper, Mary Ann and Hardy Joe are all at a very good weight. Gilligan, Ginger, Lovey and Thurston still need the 3 cups a day.

Ginger went to a new foster home in Chicago and is doing well and even plays with their other corgi and the neighbors Labrador. There is interest in all of the other dogs too. Since Hardy Joe is heart worm positive and is undergoing treatment here, he is not available for adoption yet. Blue Boy will also stay here for a while yet. I will have a real hard time letting both Skipper and Captain go when the right homes come along. They are my little sweeties.

They had a few young visitors here Monday, May 13th. Even Blue Boy came to them for some pets. Lovey was in heaven to get so many hugs and pets. All of these dogs are child friendly and happy to approach and be petted and hugged by youngsters.

They are all going to be OK and have a good life ahead of them!!!!
