This is what I do

Taz is getting big. Here he is running the fence with Grace:

I looked through your past posts to see where Taz came from. Is he one of the ones that just appeared one day at your house? He looks so much like Grace, I wonder if he could be from a previous litter of hers? There probably wasn't enough time for Grace to give birth to Taz and then this litter so soon after though. I don't know the gestation period for dogs. I'll have to go and look that up!
Maybe Grace is Taz's aunt though! They sure look alike.

The video of Grace meeting your other dogs is wonderful. They are all so welcoming and she seems very comfortable. It reminded me of a scene out of the show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan.

And that video of Taz getting 'busted' in the cupboard! Too funny. He is simply adorable, especially when he is naughty. lol

Excellent observation! Here is the thread that explains where Taz came from. He was delivered to me by a neighbor who said they found him "near the rail road tracks."

A few months back I had seen a litter of 8 to 10 week old pups in the area where I found this recent litter. I too think that Grace may have been the mother of both litters. It occurred to me that Taz may have been one of that other litter. Who knows, but it is an interesting thought.

Each and every day I drive 1.5 hours from my home at Willow Oak to my office in Memphis, TN. Along the way not far from my house I drive through the Tuscumbia Wildlife Refuge, and it was on this past Thursday morning that I happened upon this guy:



I shall be delivering Grace's pups to the animal shelter today. I had been planning to take Grace in also, but since she is unlikely to be adopted, and since she has fit in so well here I have decided to give her a home at Willow Oak. Grace is very well-behaved and so ..., well she is so full of grace!

This other little guy, who already has a name, would be adopted today if I took him in. Right now I am vasillating on whether to deliver him or not. Of course, I have too many already, but he is so small and not likely to get bigger, surely he won't eat me out of house and home. In addition, he has already been adopted by the other dogs, and Willie too is very well-behaved.

I'm still contemplating this am (5:45 am CDT). The right thing to do would be to deliver him up, but ..., we don't always do the right thing, do we?
