Grateful for My Eight-ful

I currently have eight foster puppies living in my home. I also have two "permanant fixture" dogs and a bird. We could qualify as a small zoo.

I'm so grateful for my time with this litter of pups.

Meet my eight little lovies:

Aaron


Abe


Archer


Aubrey


Augie


Austin

Axel - this is the puppy who was attacked by a larger dog at his last home


Arnie - this is the puppy with the sore on his cheek. He is on antibiotics to fix his precious face.

Huge thanks to my mom, who has spent countless hours helping me with this sweet group of pups.

Bless the Beasts and the Children



I am lucky to add a sweet little litter of eight foster pups to my home today. They have no reason to believe that they are now in a safe place, but I'm going to use my two weeks with them proving that home is indeed where the heart is. It is not a place to be neglected. The pups are skinny and hungry. Some are mangled and need medication for injuries to their faces from larger dog attacks in their old place of residency. The human beings that owned the place of residency didn't feel it necessary to spay their female dog, and certainly didn't feel it necessary to care for her offspring.

Bless the beasts and the children
for in this world they have no voice
they have no choice
