New Fosters :)

[aly]

I have 2 one day old purebred black lab babies. Their mom just got sold for $3000 The owner of the mom couldn't be bothered with the puppies and told the boarding kennel where the mom was being boarded to throw the pups away So the kennel people brought them to my shelter and I've spent ALLLLLLL day feeding 10 puppies and helping set them up to go to seperate foster homes. We've split them up into groups of 2 for the first 3-4 weeks. Then we will put them back together in groups of 5 for socializing and playing.

I have a boy and a girl. I named them Sebastian and Piper Skylar already wants to go back on the bottle now that he sees me babying them. He also wants to lay on their heating pad. I keep trying to tell him he's a big boy now!

Sebastian on the left, Piper on the right:



Skylar says, "Hey, where ya guys goin???"

All I can say is GOD LOVE YOU, Aly!!

[Kater]

Oh no! Skylar is bigger than the little pups! TINY! and SOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!! Bring on the sleepless nights, eh Aly.....

You rock!!! Keep us updated! (like I even have to ask)

[wolf_Q]

Oh Aly you are an ANGEL!! I cannot believe somebody would want to just "throw away" those precious puppies! Keep us updated on them!

[Crikit]

Aly you rock, seriously you're like the Mother Teresa of Pet Talk...hmmm maybe I'll have to start calling you that I know I don't have to tell you this but please keep us updated, a running update with pics would be nice. Especially if they have Skyler (I've fallen in love with your cat what can I say). But once again you rock!!!

[aly]

Thanks guys

I'm in my normal panic mode since these babies were just born yesterday and have not had their mother's milk except once. I bought special newborn formula with colostrum in it.

I pray they will be strong enough to make it. They aren't eating as much as I would like them to, but they are acting fine. The first 2 days are always the hardest. Trying to get them adjusted to the bottle, the new environment, etc!

I swear, I'm going to go bald from all this stress!

Oh my god they are so cute. How could anyone say throw them away? Good luck taking care of them Aly.

[Foam]

Aww! They are so adorable! I admire you, Aly!!

[zanzanfergie]

Oh, they are just too precious! Bless your heart Aly, those pups could be in no better hands. Please keep us updated, I am so looking forward to watching them grow! Such a sad story, but what an amazing expereicne you have ahead of you, to raise them from virtually their first moments alive.

Almost 4am and all is well. Puppies just ate and pottied and are still strong. Little Piper is verrrrry vocal!

[Cincy'sMom]

They are sooo cute!!! Aly, you are such a an angel for all the tiny babies you save.

[IttyBittyKitty]

I just had to mosey on over! I love black labs.

They are adorable! I can't believe how tiny they are! How cruel is that, just dumping them to be thrown away! And tearing the pups away from their poor Mum who would be pining away for her little babies.

10 pups in one litter????????????

What is wrong with people?

Let me say it too, you are a saint! I hope these 2 (along with the other 8) make it ok. Good luck on taking care of them & try to get a little sleep!

Yep Aly, you

[KYS]

Thank goodness for people like you.
I can not believe how heartless that labs owner
was to want those pups to die.
I wonder if you have networking, where you
can find a surrogate mother for the pups.

What do Lolly & Reece have to say about these dear little noisy furballs? No rest for the weary huh, but ever so worth it I'm sure. Love to you & yours.
