Meadow and Puppies Update

9 months ago

Our sweet Meadow is such a good Mama. The babies will be three weeks old on Monday. Meadow is really beginning to trust us and even relax and have a little fun. She's had zoomies in the yard a couple of times and she's had a bath, so now she's soft and smells good.


The biggest pup, Bramble, is just over 2 lbs. now -I call him Tank; he's just hilarious. Like a linebacker pushing everone out of the way when he wants to nurse. All puppies eyes are opened now and a few are standing on their own and walking. Could not be more adorable.


We've had our challenges. Yesterday, two pups went to a volunteer friend of mine who has raised over 400 pups for rescue, so she is fantastically knowledgable. One, Marigold, is the one who gave us a little trouble earlier, and the other was also not gaining the way others were. They will probably be back tomorrow.


Bramble the tank:



Milk drunk babies....


Mama Meadow


They are just the sweetest, cutest little things......

    I hope you keep posting pics and updates. Love the milk drunk puppy picture. Oh my, they are all so adorable and Tank, too. Are you or your daughter going to keep momma? She is so beautiful and her expression breaks my heart a little. I hope so.

    We aren't planning to keep Mama. DD already has two dogs, and my dog, Vanny does not like other dogs. But she is welcome to stay until we find a GREAT home for her. We already have a potential lead on a home for her, but need to check it out thoroughly. She's such a sweetheart.

    Too cute. I love the green collar using his sibling as a pillow. It took me a second to find the head.😂

    So adorable. I' ve been in puppy mode the last few months and DH is saying NO - that we really don't have anyone to help us with one if going to be gone. It began about a year ago when our neighbors wife left him - no warning, no conversation - He came home from work to find that lovely house empty of all but one of their three havanese and a bed. That little elderly dog was getting sick - it had never been alone. DH started bringing it here afternoons and it stayed with us until its Dad got home. I scrambled a lot of eggs for a dog 😊

    Soon be to be exwife decided she couldn't afford time or money for two and returned one. It solved all the problems and pup didn't need me any more, he had his little buddy back to eat, sleep and play with.

    And me? I still feel quite ready for a dog. I'm a true foster fail.

    Mama looks so concerned. Tell her to stop scowling or she will need Botox!

    They are all as cute as can be, Meadow included. I hope they all find good homes.

    Oh my goodness, how adorable are these puppies. It’s a dreary day here so what a ray of sunshine. ☀️ Good to hear you have a lead on mama adoption.
