HANGING OUT AT THE ADOPTION CENTER IN NEENAH, WI!

Here are some more pictures of the clan hanging out at the Adoption Center when we arrived. We are so fortunate to have wonderful friends "up north" to help us out! Kevin and I thank each and every one of you for your part in this amazing rescue- we love you guys!

FUN IN THE SNOW...PICTURES FROM OUR WISCONSIN TRIP!

Oh my goodness...if I had only had a video camera with me! This "Southern Gang" had never seen snow before! They guys/gals had so much fun playing in the snow! Check out some of the pictures below!

Denise was so nice to shovel a path for the little ones :)

Meeting new friends!

Don't worry Malachite, it will be much easier to navigate the snow when you are grown!

Anna meeting the puppies for the first time!

Anna and Gracie had a blast!

This has to be one of my favorite pictures of Gracie- caught in mid-air! Wish it were better quality though. Click on the picture for an enlarged view!

Best buddies!

Gracie is FAST!

Sterling with Copper

They were so adorable to watch!

Copper thinks he is King of the Mountain!

A LONG OVERDUE UPDATE!

It is getting very difficult to update this Blog AND Facebook (lol), so unfortunately the Blog suffered. Since it is now snowing, I finally have the time!

On 12/29/10, we loaded Jewel and pups, Anna, and Gracie into the vehicle to drive all night long to Wisconsin to safety! We love you Wisconsin Angels! Below are some pictures of our rest break in St. Louis. Thanks again Kelly for helping with potty breaks!

Kelly brought Tinkie out to meet the new visitors!

This is so much fun! Puppy pile!

Poor Jewel was just frozen...not sure what was going on.

Kelly with cutie pie Sterling!

Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-Cake...

Hey...I want to get out too!

Sweet Amber...she is such a loving girl!

A CHRISTMAS WISH COME TRUE!!! JEWEL AND THE BOYS ARE GOING TO RESCUE!

I cannot be any happier than I am right now!!! I received an email not long ago that my wonderful rescue friends in Wisconsin will take Jewel and her 3 remaining boys (Sterling, Malachite, and Copper) into their rescue. I cannot thank you guys enough as I know you are "making room" as a favor to me (Lord knows you guys need a break too). I love you guys and I hope one day to be able to repay you in some way for helping all of these precious fur-souls. What a relief to know my fur-babies will find great home- whew!

OH SWEET JEWEL...SHE DESERVES THE BEST HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

Oh PLEASE someone help me find this precious mommy a wonderful home! Jewel has come such a long way in 2 months. She was petrified when she first arrived, but now is very playful with me. She is still a bit stand-off-ish with new people, but is not mean at all. She has been the most fabulous mommy. I have some new pictures of her from today (not the greatest though). She was weaning her babies the last few days and then today....urgh. She let them nurse again. Please don't write to me and tell me they should be weaned as I already know that (lol). My vet told me last week that it was ok to let her nurse and that she would let them know when she was finished (which she was in the process of doing). Sooo...here we go again :)



The puppies are now 8 weeks old as of December 8th. They are eating regular kibble (with the occasional glass of milk apparently). As you may have read, Amber and Jade have adoptions pending. No one yet has expressed interest in the boys, (Copper, Malachite, and Sterling), but we do expect that to change once they are posted on Petfinder (which hopefully will be very soon). However, Jewel deserves to live a pampered life so please help me find her a great home. She is only about a year old and is heartworm negative. She will be spayed as soon as I get the ok from the vet.
Dinner time!

An after dinner drink...oops

I think this is precious though (even though they may be too old)

The girls, Amber and Jade

Jewel loves to hang out in my doggy fort I made in the backyard. I know it's not the prettiest thing in the world but don't worry...no one can see it thankfully. It poured down rain one day and I felt so bad for my fur-babies having to go out to potty that I rigged this up for them :) They have about 18 feet x 5 feet or so (it serves the purpose).
Inside of the fort (see you CAN use a hammock in the winter- hee hee)

Jewel hanging out in the fort! She is the only one that will go in the doghouse. She likes to hide bones in the straw and take them out later!

Just gorgeous Jewel!

ADOPTION PENDING: JEWEL'S PUP, JADE!

Awwww sweet Jade...another lucky pup who will make her way North very soon to a terrific family in Wisconsin! Jade is a funny little girl- she is shy but will get your attention by barking at you when you least expect it (and then scurry away...so cute)! This little girl is going to make her new family very happy as well!
