Our Temporary Foster, Hannah (or, as Chris prefers to call her, Kimchi)

Not Afraid · 07-28-2009, 08:57 PM

This is my temporary foster, Hannah. (Who Chris insists in calling Kimchi.)

She flew in from South Korea today with another pug and a terrier mix. They all arrived in excellent shape after flying in a temperature-controlled cargo area of Asiana Air. The other two dogs went to their forever homes. Hannah is going to stay with me for a while until she find her forever home and while she recuperates from her LP Surgery. She is probably 3 years old and has had at least one litter of puppies (probably more). I suspect she was a puppy mill dog that raised dogs for meat.

The first thing she did (after going potty - ahhhhhhhh) was roll around in the ivy. FREEDOM!

We then got in the car and drove to the vet for a check-up.

She has a slight ear infection and I need to do some PT on her LP leg to help her heal better. Otherwise, she's in decent shape - all 14 pounds of her. Her fur is much more coarse than Thurston's and she is a bit on the thin side but a couple of weeks of Auntie Lisa's Raw Food Extravaganza should fix that!

The one thing I did notice about her tonight is that she doesn't seem to have a voice. She both makes barking and howling motions but very little sound comes out. I'm not sure what's going on there and I fear she has had her bark removed. (Although, instead of barking noises she was making "barking spider" noises which made me laugh so hard I almost choked).

The cats are all completely fine with her (weird) and Thurston thinks her butt smells good. :roll:

Oh, and Chris has been trying to learn Korean dog commands from the internet.

Chris, upon being email a pic of her at the airport, replied - "She's adorable! And tiny too - appetizer sized."

I just found out that she was de-barked in Korea.

What a cruel thing to do to an animal, but I'm so glad she's with you guys right now!!!! I hope she gets a wonderful family- she deserves it.

Truly Scrumptious!

(In the adorable, worthy-of-Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang-reference way, not the Korean, edible kind of way)

She's gorgeous - lucky family that gets her, I say.

Soooo, when she barks, does it sound like Heen: Madame Suliman's cute doggy henchman in Howl's Moving Castle? (I can't type what it sounds like, but here's a pic of Heen, which is basically the sound he makes, as well as his name.)
