THE MISSOURI 9
9 AUGUST 2006



SOME INFORMATION & COMMENTARY FROM
SHELL LEWIS, VICE PRESIDENT OF FOSTER HOMES FOR CRUSA:

Dr. Tolliver has the puppies. There are five in all, including the little boy who came from a different breeder; that one is Morgan, who she thinks is only six weeks old. She picked up the other four today - three girls and one boy. I've named them after the girls in her office and I'm naming the little boy after my husband. So we have . . .

. . . Jimbo, Amy, Cathy (with a "C" this time) & Colleen.

Morgan


One is almost black (that's Jimbo), two are a dark brindle and the third is sort of a reddish brindle.

The seller was a farmer and had about 200 goats, 200 chickens and Chihuahua pups that he was feeding Braunschweiger sausage to so she bought some of those too! She also got some Westies for WRMO.

Gee . . . and it's only noon!

The pups the pups are doing well. At the breeders, they were in a small building, kept in small cages on wire floors and there was an area on the outside, also on wire, that they could go to. The building was NOT air conditioned. Strangely enough, the building where their mother was, WAS air conditioned. She was a beautiful Cairn, on the small side, with a beautiful face. She's wheaten with dark points. The breeder's wife had 16 house dogs, mostly Yorkies and Poms.

The room where the puppies were had a concrete floor covered in carpet squares, and these same types of squares were also in the small puppy pens. Which means, of course, that they were totally soaked in urine and feces and on a 100-degree day, with no AC, inside . . . you can only imagine what that must have smelled like.

Even the little Chihuahua babies were forced to drink out of those damn gerbil waterers.
