This is the pile of puppies I acquired last night.

This is the pile of puppies I acquired last night. The two brindle ones are male, (you can't tell in the picture, but one has a black nose and one has a white nose) and the two solid colored ones are female.

The story goes that there was a stray in the neighborhood who was known to be pregnant. She was fatally hit by a car. My ex's uncle found them the night before last - they were outside crying. So he gathered them up and since I apparently have "sucker" written across my forehead, called me. (That's a joke - I probably would have called me, too.)

I've never nursed puppies before, but they seem to be doing well (I Googled the basics). They are less than two weeks old as of 10/07/10 - they don't even have their eyes open. I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with them - they make 12 dogs here at home. 👀

This is little Chewy.

This is little Chewy. The neighbor across the street from me left her out in the cold winter, and when I heard the brakes squeal to a stop outside, I just knew that she was a goner. When I went out to check, thankfully, she was fine. Freezing to death, but in one piece. I took her in, and after quite a large hernia removal and good tooth cleaning, this little lady was adopted by someone special. 🙂

This is Dahlia, my latest bag of bones.

This is Dahlia, my latest bag of bones. I found her wandering down Noble Street (with no ID or collar, of course) on my way home from work yesterday (10/01/10). She was near the new Dollar General. I parked there and tried to encourage her to come to me, but she walked away. When I walked towards her, she walked away faster. 🙁 I thought she would be too skittish to ever to come to me and considered just leaving her be, but I couldn't just drive away. I don't understand how anyone can do that.

So, I drove my car a little closer, turned it off, and opened the door. I talked to her and she finally approached me and let me pet her. She started to walk away several times, but I called her back and each time she returned. Finally, she licked me so I took that as a sign that she wanted to get in my car.

She ate and drank a LOT when I got her home. She was nice for her bath. I think she's young - less than a year old. She appears to have never had a litter of pups, but I highly doubt that she's spayed. Very sweet, and so far - gets along great with my other dogs. Definitely a large breed something or other. Also, no accidents in the house so far.

What can I say? Faith is not a lady.

What can I say?  Faith is not a lady.  She shows her butt in this video quite a bit.  😂😂😂

Check out the darling Sandy Shuffle!

Check out the darling Sandy Shuffle!  Lowrider is being such a good girl - she's also showing off that she can now sit on command.  She's just waiting for someone to take her home!  😃

Hi, friends. Please SHARE SHARE SHARE my foster doggies.

Hi, friends.  Please SHARE SHARE SHARE my foster doggies.  I've got 4 (in addition to my own 4 - that equals a LOT of dogs!)  We need some homes - I'm not helping them by just keeping them here with no exposure.  They are all wonderful dogs who deserve better than "I love you, but you're not my dog!"  (That's what I tell them so that I don't get too attached... it doesn't always work, unfortunately).  PLEASE help us out!

This is Buster, a 6 month old dachshund mix.  He's an awesome little guy!

This is Pixie, a year old Cocker Spaniel / Poodle mix.  She's very cute, and smart, too.  She caught on to the house-training very quickly.  She LOVES to snuggle and be held.  Great with kids, not so much with cats (yet).  PREFERS TO BE THE ONLY DOG.

Low.Ride.Er.  🙂

This is my body-waggin', crazy-eyed, high-jumpin', jankey-leg girl.  Whoever takes this dog MUST possess a big heart, endless patience, and a sense of humor.  She's fun-loving and friendly - just a little weird.  I'll have to post a video of her "jankey-leg".  You'll see.  LOL
