Rescue Dogs

Jack
 When the pictures of these three little guys arrived in my inbox what could I do? I was helpless against such cute faces that were begging me to find them a great home. Sooooooo......

I went to work on the names in my "wants a BC puppy" file. I didn't think it would be too hard to find adopters but I did want to make sure before I committed to bringing them all the way up here from Evansville, IN that I at least had some interested potential adopters. Well......

I sure can count on my friends to spread the word for me when there's a BC needing a home! I could have adopted out a couple more if there had been more of them. That is great news!

 What is really amazing with this group of pups....is the fact that one of the adopters offered to drive the 9 hours down and 9 hours back to bring all the puppies back up here as quickly and stress free on them as possible. He and his young daughter (Mom and brother will stay home to hold down the fort) will make a 2 day trip out of it and deliver the pups back to me. The advantage for them is I told them they could pick any of the 3 boys that they decided was the puppy for them. By the time they get them to me, they'll be well acquainted with all of them. Heck, they'll be able to help me know how they each handle stress and travel.

My biggest worry right now is that the weather is due to turn ugly tomorrow night and then continue into Sunday morning. I don't care about how soon the puppies get to me. I do care that I want the Father and daughter to be safe on their trip. I also don't want them to try driving out to me on Sunday morning if it's not safe. But.....the thought of them having to care for 3 twelve week old BC puppies is a little above and beyond the call of duty.  But then.....maybe this is just a foster home in training? Maybe they'll love having and helping the dogs so much they'll consider fostering a dog in the future some time.

Everything for a reason.....that's what I always tell myself. Just that sometimes we don't know the reason till a little later on.
