Homer Blog ~ by Peggy Wimberly: Homer Update 3-31-2008

Thanks Everyone....I'm sorry I haven't put an update on the "Homer Blog" in a few days, but I have had sooooooo much to get caught up on here!!! Just to let ya know, we have raised a little over $1100. The total bill was $1900+something, so we still need around $800 to finish off the payment, which we need to pay within 30 days!! PLEASE HELP US reach the payoff. Any extra that comes in will go towards prescriptions that Homer still needs and his special treats (he LOVES fruits, especially grapes). :o)

We got Homer out of the hospital last Thursday (March 27th) and he is in foster care until a family in Newport Beach can take him permanently the end of April. His breathing is still labored, he is still trying to cough up all the gunk that's built-up in his lungs, and he is still on meds, which he does not like and is starting to refuse! But he is doing a little better (actually a lot better than a couple of weeks ago, thanks to the excellent care by Dr. Kanfer and her vet staff!!!!!), he is still not eating much, but making himself right at home in his new foster home. Poor guy, the stress of being moved so many times within the last two months has been so hard on him because he had been in the same yard, with the same family for 10+years -- before we found him being attacked by those rottweilers!! Just the uncertainty of not knowing whether he will be moved again, and when, has to be stressful on him.
