10/19/06 - Jasper is pending adoption.  I am having so much fun with these guys. They are just to cute. I just want to pick them up and snuggle with them every time I pass the puppy room. I find myself slacking on the housework (oops) because I spend so much time with the pups. Every time I hear them beginning to wake up I go in to visit (and clean up the mess newly awakened puppies make) At first it was hard to tell the black ones apart but they all have such different personalities I immediately know who is who as soon as they all come running and surround my feet. They all are just little balls of sweetness. They are very social and playful. Love to give kisses and chew, chew, chew.
Little Daisy Mae is the biggest pup of the bunch. She is very loving and gentle.  Jasper is a comedian. He jumps and barks at his own shadow his little tail wagging the whole time. Onix is a lover. He jumps and plays, but will bury his little nose in your neck when he is tired.  Sammy likes to sit by your side and loves to be massaged.  Bean has some playtime with the big dogs several times a day and is doing wonderful. He jumps at them to play and will pull on my Shepard mix's furry tail (she doesn't mind). He loves my toddler as long as he moves slow. He does tend to scare easily but I think more playtime with the big dogs and socialization and he will be just fine. He loves people gives very gentle kisses. These pups are so much fun and I'm glad I have gotten the chance to better there lives.

10/17/06 - Ironically the woman who had these pups, father passed away and she needed to leave the state ASAP.
Needles to say she needed them to go. She said the local SPCA wouldn't take them because they weren't papered. Not likely she called them at all. Anyway, they are safely out of the tiny crate they were kept in and now have the luxury of my entire Laundry room (which is pretty big) that I have turned into a puppy nursery. I still have my large metal crate in the room with the door always open and they always choose to sleep in it on the big fury blanket with the big stuffed animal. I have newspaper down in front of the crate door and they almost always pee on them. I have treated
them all for worms which they did have.
Daisy, the only female, has a herniated umbilical cord. I also noticed that Bean also has a slight hernia. They all have an appointment to see my favorite vet next week and we will know more about them then. In the meantime, Jasper, Onix, Sammy, and Daisy are all very active, playful happy puppies. They are all very outgoing and get very excited when you go in to the puppy play room to visit. They love the big dogs and don't seem intimidated by there size at all. They are very affectionate and love to give kisses. Bean on the other hand is a bit more reserved. He is the smallest of
the bunch with very petite features. He is eating and drinking and going to the bathroom just fine, but he does not play. He will go back in the crate and lay down and watch the others play. He gets picked on by the others and will run and hide. He has never shown any aggression. He is totally submissive. I will hold him and he loves to snuggle. He will give kisses and his tail wags. He will chew on a toy if I'm holding him in my lap. My motherly instincts have kicked in and I have made it my mission to find a way to bring him out of his shell. He will snuggle and sleep with the others,
he just prefers to be by himself any other time. All in all, they are getting big and are VERY active. They turned six weeks old today. Two more weeks and there will be ready for there new forever homes never to be shoved in a crate for endless hours again. They will bring you years of companionship so hurry with those applications.

10/14/06 - This is Onix and Jasper. Onix is the little black boy and Jasper is the little blond boy.  These two boys came from a litter of 10 puppies. They are barley five weeks old and won't be ready for adoption for another three weeks. In that time they will be vaccinated and dewormed.  These adorable puppies were a burden to the owner who just purchased a new home and wanted no part of such a huge litter of puppies. They were kept in a small crate in the laundry room so as not to make a mess on the new floor. Imagine nine puppies all cramped in a small metal crate. She agreed to surrender the males to me but wanted to try to sell the females. Some of the others needed medical attention and I am hoping to convince her to surrender the remaining pups to me also.
These boys are just to sweet. There little personalities are already showing through. Onix (the black one) is very needy. He likes to be with a human. He is just content to lay by your side and chew your toes. He is the more vocal of the two and is a whiner, his tail wags a mile a minute. Onix also loves to give kisses with that sweet puppy breath.
Jasper (the blond one) is very curious and likes to explore every corner. Be careful though because true to puppy form everything he sees goes in his mouth. He is very playful and doesn't seem a bit bothered by the big dogs. He follows them around and sticks his little butt in the air ready for the pounce. He is very quiet and never made a peep all night. He curled up in the crate with his stuffed animal and slept like a baby.
My female boxer Chloe, thinks she has become a new mom and tries to nurse these babies. She gets very upset that she can't be in the crate with them for there nap time. Buster, my BAR adopted American bulldog thinks he is a new daddy. The two of them are just to funny. A Boxer mom, American Bulldog daddy and two Cocker Spaniel babies.
Get those applications in fast. These sweet things will be ready for a new home in about three to four weeks.
