Oh Pupsters it’s soo cold outside with record lows and snow this winter and there are so many pups and kitties that are cold! Did you know there are several kill shelters in South Carolina that have outdoor pens or pens that are very exposed to the outside elements?

beautibull bestest. After several rounds of deliberation by the jury, the winners have been chosen and are spotlighted on each month, with ALL of the pawticipants sprinkled throughout the monthly dates! Of course, yours truly is on the cover, but this is pawsitively a PupsterPosse collaboration to help #SaveThePuppies.
Mommers went into the bathroom, and this lady bird with a mohawk was just hiding behind the toilet and making a bunch of noise. Well, of course she couldn’t stay there, so with just a bit of encouragement, she flew out! But RUH ROH!!!! I sees a bird flying up high in the living room ceiling. It’s flapping weird and so scared. Now it’s in the kitchen, and oops – back to the living room wall. Ker plunk! Nose dive into the wall. Something is just not right with this birdie! Mommers is trying to find a box at this point cause we are worried about Ms Azul. Finally it lands awkwardly on the table, but it’s flying was so wobbly that it got it’s wing stuck in the grove between poles.
ng to save a birdie while in a wheelchair and moving slow, so this was not easy. But since the lady songbird was stuck, Mommers was able to carefully take the towels and wrap around this mowhawked beauty. The scared kingfisher bird instantly relaxed! She knew that we were just trying to help her! She quit snapping her long scary beak and just let the Mommers hold her and wipe her down along her beak and mohawk. You see, she had become covered in spider webs and cat fur, and other mess while flying around in our house.
Ms Azul is now safely in a large cardboard box. But we just can’ts keep her there. What are we gonna do?! It’s late now on Friday so we can’t get a ride to the emergency vet and of course the phone broke this week…Thank doggie fur the online animal groups for Mommers to pawticipate. There’s just gotta be somepawdy there that can help!
there first thing in the mawnin. Thanksaroo to these two ladies, we knew how to keep Ms Azul safe fur the nite, sleeping in her cardboard box safe away from any lurking predator kitties (uuhh, uuumm, Zaida…I’m looking at you!) We were a bit worried, but Saturday am we looked in the box, and there was the sleeping songbird beauty, still safe and sound! Wooferoo!
thought,but she was going to take her to the center to be assessed and she would pawbably get some medicines. After they assessed Ms, Azul, the center said it was just really bad bruising and no broken wings. Thank Dog! But here’s the best part!! They were having a special group presentation at Birds of Prey that day, so they decided to release Ms Azul in front of a large crowd. How pawmazing is that! Her songbird debut release was a display of magnificence for lots of hoomans to see. Of course Ms Azul had to show off, flying around and then ultimately diving straight fur the water like a true kingfisher – lunch time!!!
