PUPPIES ARE GROWING UP 8 SEPTEMBER 2018

Becky writes: Here is a quick update on the TEXAS 11+: All of the dogs have been placed in foster-to-adopt homes except the two Airedoodle girls, PEARL & ALLIE, and one Airedale girl, CALLIE. Both of the Airedoodles are making great strides in socialization and are going to be great dogs for someone. One of our volunteers is working with PEARL daily, taking her for walks and to her home for play and to give her new experiences. HITCH, the boy with double pneumonia, continues to improve and will soon be back to playing wildly with his buddy HAPPY. CASEY, now Cassinova (Casanova?), did have to have surgery to correct eyelid entropion on one eye, but will soon be healed enough to go to his adopted home. All three of BLUE BELL's surviving puppies are thriving and have moved to eating puppy gruel from a pan. ALLIE's six are thriving as well and are also on the gruel, altho they are tending to wear it more then eat it. [I never saw 'BLUE BELL' ice cream before . . . now I saw it at WalMart the other day. I recognized the packaging. [Sherry replies: It's a huge Texas favorite. The Blue Bell creamery is located in Brenham, Texas, which is where the foster volunteer who whelped BLUE BELL's litter lives.] Sherry writes: ALLIE's pups had their puppy pen cleaned, litter box changed and I added the gravity-fed stainless steel waterer. And, as you can see if you look closely, they played in the water bowl. They are also drinking out of ALLIE's water bucket. Then they had their first meal and they are all pretty pleased with that. I know ALLIE will be pleased about it.

	WISH LIST 3 SEPTEMBER 2018
Sherry writes: I made an Amazon.com wish list ready to get some donations of toys, bowls, treats, etc., so we can add those to the puppy collar, leash and food TART will provide so the pups will have a nice "Going Home" pack. Linda Bell & I are making some small fleece blankets that I will hang from the sides of the puppy pens the last few days before they leave so they will have something that smells like their siblings. I plan to do some early lite obedience training and crate training and should have crates to offer to send home with each pup. AMAZON DONORS: BECKY HAWKINS DENISE ST JOHN & STEVEN MIRONOV V'LOU OLIVEIRA SKRENNINGER SIX-PACK + 2 In Memory of JACKSON PAMELA JONES BONNIE WALTON CROSBY LEE GROSSKRUEZ HECHTEL JACKIE IKE JUDY LUCKETT BRAD RUTH JEANETTE PICKARD NONIE CARYANN SUNNY EDUARDO TRIGO NIC & LISA MILLER And now all of the items on the wish list have disappeared, which means each of the nine puppies will have awesome going-home bags! Thank you to all our donors; we could NOT have done this without every single one of you!
