My co-worker Rose had some asshat drop off a mama dog and her pups near her home several weeks ago. After much discussion, it was decided that she would capture the mama and puppies and bring them to me to foster. It took her three weeks of attempts to catch the puppies, but finally she brought them to me (in 3 batches) last weekend. There were 4 pups—all males–but one had serious eye problems and we had to have him put down.
So now are fostering Mama dog and three pups. We already have a home for Jonah. My younger daughter wants to have Shep, so as soon as she gets her own place she will be coming to take him away. Pinkyis going to be a handful; I want him to go to someone who has experience with dogs and who wants a busy companion. Mama dog is already housebroken and is very friendly; she should be a good dog for just about anyone.
Thank goodness my older daughter/roommate is still unemployed and has time to socialize and prepare everyone for new homes.
Puppy fun!
