WE RESCUE PUPPIES

Sunday evening as we were preparing for bed Corey walks in and tells us that he saw some little puppies all alone on the side of the road...I immediately suggest we should go get them, and run to tell Savannah! After a little debate with our mom we finally won and headed out to collect the puppies.

Through the dark we could make out two little puppies huddled against a brick wall and found two more huddled in a bush close by. We timidly picked them up and headed home. We sure shocked my mom when we walked through the door with four puppies and Corey surprised her even more when he brought home one more making a total of five little puppies now in our home. After we fed them we noticed the runt of the litter had a flattened paw...something must have run it over so we got to play vet for the night.

After we got them all cozy and comfy in a box with blankets we finally headed to bed.

Sadly we lost Junior, the runt the following morning and his brother Benny followed the next day after being swarmed by maggots. We have worked hard to save the other three and now they are all thriving!

*Update: Sadly the morning after I posted this Charlie passed away. He took no interest in eating the night before and fell asleep next to his brother and sister warm and loved.
