He is still filling out slowly and is such a ham!

Turtles Of The Oil Spill







Sorry there haven't been any posts for a while. Duke is doing great! I have been spending a lot of time washing turtles affected in the oil spill here. Here are a couple before and after pics. Also a softshell and a threatened Spotted Turtle. They are protected by Michigan law. If anyone is interested in following updates on the animals in the oil spill you can do so by going to Binder Park Zoo on facebook. There is also video of some of them being released!

Sirens

Duke never barks. Storms do not bother him. People knocking at my door do not bother him. Strangers to him have walked right in my house and he just attacks them with a wagging tail. But when he hears sirens...... .

The Duke Is Home!


He is doing much better this time around! The vet said he looks great. He is a healthy weight and even though he didn't really gain weight he filled out. He only gained 2-3 # since coming into rescue. But he really does look better. Now it's lazy days for Duke.

Cat Toys

This started off as me playing with the cat but as usual, Duke thought it was all about him! The other is Paco, who is an old chi chi looking for a home.

A New Guy




This poor Chi Chi has had a rough life by the looks of him! He was a stray that showed up in some guys garage in December. He was cold and a skeleton. The guy now did not want him and was asking someone what you can buy in the store to euthanize a dog at home. So, I was told about him and he ended up here until I can find him a foster or a home. He will be going to the vet next week. I was a little worried about how Duke would be with him. I just picked the chi up yesterday and I let Duke meet him today. He was very well behaved and just wanted to check him out. They were calling him Paco, he is half the size of the cat and weighs 5#. Hopefully he can find a final forever home! Duke, does have an adoption pending!! He goes in for round 2 heart worm treament next week.
