UPDATE ON JEWEL AND PUPS!

****11/20/10: It turns out that our rescue angels in WI won't be able to help right now, so these babies and mom of course are all looking for wonderful homes****

Well here are Jewel's precious puppies at 5 weeks and 3 days old! From left to right: Copper, Jade, Sterling, Amber, and Malachite (we thought it was fitting since mommy is "Jewel" to name them after gemstones/minerals/precious stones- great idea Kelly!).

The great news is our rescue partner in Wisconsin will be taking this family in December (don't worry, the puppies will be at least 8 weeks old before they are adopted). WE LOVE YOU GUYS! I also want to thank Amy V in KY so very much for being so understanding when I told her I would like to keep these guys/girls in order to help open a spot for her to take more pups in need- what a trooper! She is the rescue angel that offered to take Jewel and her puppies in. Another big thank you to Jeff S for his offer to fly this family to Amy. We hope to hear happy tails for some other pups in need soon!
These little guys/gals have been such a joy to help raise. They are all very sweet and snuggly! Jewel has been slowly weaning them and they are now eating softened puppy chow 3 times a day (oh what a clean up with 5 of them- ha!). Check out these current pictures!

Daddy taking some time to play with the pups!
They are hoping I have some yummies!

Who wouldn't want to snuggle with them?!

Super sweet Malachite snuggling with daddy. Malachite is more reserved like his mommy (and looks the most like her!). I can't wait to see if his ears stand erect later on!

This picture in particular makes him look like his mommy- he has the same smile!

See what I mean about her smile!

How adorable is Malachite...seriously!

And then there is Jade...oh what a doll!

Jade will hang back at times, but she definitely knows what is going on! She is the observant one!

Copper is on the left and Jade on the right!

Copper has the most gorgeous markings . He is very friendly and playful (likes to bat at you with his paws). Another precious fur-soul!

This is Amber! She is so adorable. It doesn't matter what is going on around her, she is always right at my feet or crawling up on me. She is very curious about humans and will probably be one of those fur-kids that loves to be with right there with you.


She is waiting for some action- apparently I am pretty boring.

And then there is gorgeous Sterling. OMG...he is the most adorable chunky little furbaby! It is really hard to believe that this was the runt! I see why he "caught up" now...he was always eating when the others had stopped!

Sterling has the most gorgeous silver coat with tan/gold tones (will probably turn more tan/gold as he grows). His hair is longer than the others too.

Sterling is perfectly content to just hang out!

  2. Allison...these pictures are amazing. I love the gemstone names; what a creative idea.

    Boy these puppies sure do pose well for the camera, don't they???

    Thank you for all you do. Thank you for saving these puppies.

  3. Thank you both for your kind words! They are not going to WI after all, so spread the word that these boys/girls need homes!
