DG and Puppers are best friends. They have so much fun together. They race through the farm ( although Puppers is smart enough not to run under the electric fence anymore!), try to scare the chickens (because making them scatter and squawk is a favorite past time), and have "fights". People think they're really fighting, … Continue reading BFFs

Cooper loves the new truck!
He had to use the running boards to get in it, and it took him a few tries, but he finally got up there. This truck has Cooper's stamp of approval!

They went to a rescue!
The puppies grew so much and finally started to pack on weight their last few days here. They started to act like puppies should (chewing, chasing, tearing things apart). They trusted us and learned that we (people) can be kind and loving. They learned we are the source of treats and belly rubs and ear … Continue reading They went to a rescue!

Look at them grow!
The pups have changed so much with just a little love and encouragement and gentle touches. When Jake and I got home from looking at the pigs this past Sunday, I heard whining and saw this when checking on the pups: They wanted us!!! They were trying to get TO us instead of AWAY from … Continue reading Look at them grow!

Look what I found tonight when I went out there. Three of them were sleeping in … Continue reading Too cute!

Poor babies
I picked up another group of puppies from the pound this afternoon. They are a litter of six Boxer/Doberman mix puppies. The dog warden made sure they were all bathed, had their parvo shot, and had a flea treatment before they came to me. She said their flea infestation was horrible; I know even after … Continue reading Poor babies

Puppy rescue
The puppies are off to the rescue transport! I am happy to say they all were quite sociable with us by the time they left my house Tuesday afternoon. I think it might have had something to do with all the food, tummy rubs, and treats we gave them; even Howler (the black one with … Continue reading Puppy rescue

Fostering again
When I listened to my voicemail this afternoon, my friend from the pound was on it, asking me for help. She sounded a little frantic, so I called her back immediately when I heard the message and felt a little guilty because it was three hours after she had placed the call. When she was … Continue reading Fostering again

Fostering – the hard part
My family gets nervous when I bring home a new foster puppy, and it's with good reason. I kept Puppers (who I believe is really a kangaroo in a dog skin suit). I would have umpteen dogs if I could, and they know this, so they tend to get...nervous. This last little puppy (the Lab … Continue reading Fostering – the hard part
