New Dogs!! More pix #6 & #7

No not mine.
Ok, my brother and his family have been talking about getting another dog since Boo passed away back in May. We had an adorable Lab mix puppy at the shelter I volunteer at. They drove about two hours down here to get her only to have someone else adopt her right when they got there. Because the people at the shelter wouldn't hold her or even let ME adopted her for them.

So they spent their day driving for nothing.

While they were on their way down I called my mom and told them and she said they could have the dog she has there. I laughed and kept talking. Then she said it again. And I said Pepsi (her dog) is glued to her hip and that wouldn't work. She said "I'm not talking about Pepsi". WHAT?!?!

That morning she heard cars honking and slowing down in front of the house. They live out in the country. So her and Pepsi went down the driveway to see what was going on. She found a small white dog (she says poodle, but it doesn't sound like a poodle) walking along the side of the road. She was filthy dirty but her nails were painted pink.
My niece came over and helped give her a bath and my mom is still debating on if she even wants to return her to her owners, since they obviously didn't take very good care of her. She was covered with fleas and we think she might have been rolled under a car. She had grease on her back and a burn on her head. So she's still debating on what to do with her. Right now she calls her "the little dog". My dad said to name her Coca-Cola because they already have Pepsi. But she's white not brown. So I thought Sprite.

But we'll have to see what happens with her. I'm requesting pictures of her to post here, I haven't even seen her yet!

Anyway, my brother and his family went today to a shelter to look at some puppies. And here is what they came home with.
Please meet Abbie...

And her brother Jake...

These are the pictures from the shelters website. They are 7 weeks old (not sure why they let them go so early) and their mom is a black lab. No clue what dad is. I say German Shepherd from the looks of Abbie at least.
So these are Zoee and Taggarts new cousins!!

I'll post more pictures when they send me some. I've been requesting them ALL day!! LOL

Abbie and Jake are adorable! Bless your mom and niece for helping little Sprite.

OOOWEEE! Your bro adopted 2 dogs? Well! Bless that family! Abbie and Jake are ador-a-ble! They're gonna have the busiest household! And your mom and Pepsi are angels! Ya know, there's a book that I got years ago called "Saving Sprite" (something like that), who was white and their other dog was Pepsi! So you did a good job naming "the little dog". I loved this post!

WOW! Two puppies at once! Good luck to your brother and his family!

That's so nice of your mom and niece to help Sprite! Idk if it's a good idea to not look for her owners. What if she has been missing for a long time and she is not normally in that condition.

Oh my goodnes. I'll take the second one! Soooo cute.

I suggested to my mom to keep an eye out if anyone is posting that they are missing a dog. If the person that is missing her really wants her back they'd make an effort. Plus, she'll probably see if she is chipped.

I have attached a couple more pix of Abbie and Jake. Photobucket wasn't being nice this morning so I had to attach.

I thought they were crazy for getting TWO puppies too. But they have older children so there are basically 3 adults and a 15 year old in the house. That should make things easier.
