The Puppy

Scott has a soft heart for animals just like me! Last Wednesday, he walked threw the door holding this sweet girl. She was extremely thin, had sores all over her body, and had a string tied around her neck really tight. The sting was yarn tied like you would a friendship bracelet making a thick string. We cut the string off her neck and Breanna gave her a bath first thing. Then she got a small bowl of food. I had forgotten how cute puppies are when they eat. It was a long night. The puppy slept with Christian while our two dogs slept with Scott and I. Usually they sleep in the living room. Skeeter whined all night. He wanted to play with the puppy. Daisy wanted nothing to do with the puppy as was not happy at all that her daddy was holding someone else. I guess the puppy kept Christian awake some. Thursday we tried to find her a home fast knowing we couldn't keep her. (As Scott said, a owner who treats their pet like that shouldn't be given the chance to get them back. We did try to get ahold of the radio stations and looked in the lost and found section of the newspaper with no luck.) We just don't have alot of room for a puppy that was going to turn into a really large dog. We called the Humane Society just to find out the only way they take dogs is after they have been to the pound. Scott reluctantly called the pound to find out the procedure. We found out they would keep her for 10 days to see if a owner came forward. At that point they will see if the Humane Society will take her. If not they couldn't say what would happen. So on the 10th day we will be calling to see if owners came forward or if she made it to the Humane Society. If neither of those happened we will probably adopt her. She was way too sweet to let anything bad happen to her. I figure that this will be one of many rescues that will come through our house. Breanna and Christian have tender hearts as well. . . She was just so cute we all wanted to keep her.
