Another Adoption and an Update

We've had another lovely family come and adopt another of our lovely puppies. Ripley has found himself a forever home!!

Maddie is a still doing an amazing job of raising her crew, starting to wean them all. All 10 are playful, healthy and absolutely adorable to watch.

Adoption Mania

We're so excited to say that not only has sweet Maddie found her forever home, 3 of her puppies, Rosie, Harley and Cruiser have found excellent families who are already preparing anxiously for their arrival.

The only problem that occurs when adopters come to visit is the difficulty they all find in choosing just one of these absolutely lovely and affectionate pups to call their own!

Puppy Love - and Good News for Maddie

As promised here is the not so great quality video of Maddie's puppies - and consider yourself warned, I am no videographer and I used my digital camera to catch the video footage. Lack of quality aside, it's an amazing thing to see puppies that couldn't really walk 2 days ago playing like real (if tiny) dogs and to be able to share it.

The puppies are a happy and playful bunch who already, thanks to Maddie's willingness to allow us to handle her pups, are already quite people affectionate. When any of us sits on the floor and Miss Maddie isn't around, you can bet we'll find ourselves with a lap full of cuddly puppies momentarily.

The puppies have had their two feedings that weren't provided by Momma and while I can say it was a messy affair, it was also highly entertaining.

So, what's the good news for Maddie you ask?

Well, our darling Maddie has already found her forever home with an amazing woman who played a significant part in helping us to rescue her. We're very excited for Maddie to have the security of a forever home when she has completed her job as a mother and know she will be well loved and taken care of.

Puppies, too, are finding their forever homes - and now these lovely 11 dogs that would not be alive today are going to become part of loving families who couldn't imagine their lives without them.

Please help stop the slaughter of innocents - spay or neuter your animals, contact your government locally and provincially, refuse to buy from stores that get their puppies from puppy mills...adopt and save a life!

6 Days of Changes

When Maddie, babies and I first got home together, I had one lovely Momma dog with some serious cleaning needed, eyes all red and sore, and a squirming pile of tiny puppies that, though they looked different, behaved more or less the same.

Just 6 days later Maddie's eyes are looking so much better and she is settling in beautifully, loving the idea of living inside and getting loads of affection. She's become quite the couch cuddle monkey, happy to make friends with everyone who visits.

Today the puppies ALL have their beautiful eyes open. Puppy ears are starting to pop up from their starting positions laid back against their heads. I ran into the room today after hearing puppy squeaks, worried that something had happened, and found 10 lovely puppies, most of them up on their feet, wandering around their safe area calling for their Momma. 10 puppy personalities are starting to emerge.

Stay tuned to Maddie's blog for video soon to be uploaded, so that you can all experience the excitement of watching these babies take their first real steps into a world with lots to explore.
