Rocky and Bullwinkle

Remember these puppies?

They were named Deuce and Dusty, and they were adopted to separate families.   Of the entire litter of 9 puppies, there were only two chocolate males.  In their new homes, which don't know each other, one of the puppies has been renamed Rocky, and the other one has been renamed Bullwinkle!  

Puppy adoptions!

All four of my foster puppies were adopted today, and four of their littermates from another foster home were also adopted today!  It was a huge adoption day for puppies, in spite of the poor weather.  I really miss my puppies, but I was able to take the last puppy from the litter home with me.  It's so sad now that she's all alone, but I'm sure she'll be adopted soon.  I'm going to take her to PetSmart tomorrow to try to get her a home.  My foster cats also need a turn at PetSmart since they haven't been for a few weeks, so I'll take Gandalf and Artemis.  I might even get brave and take Scribbles, but I'm not sure about that yet.  I think she needs a break from the bedroom where she's living alone, but I'm not sure that going to PetSmart is her idea of a break. 

Introducing Darby, Deuce, Dusty and Dozer

I took in four puppies yesterday.  They're lab/boxer mixes, and they turn eight weeks old tomorrow.  There were actually nine puppies in the litter!  Another All Paws Rescue foster home took in the other five puppies.  I have three boys and one girl.  This black puppy is the girl - I've named her Darby.  She is very sweet and outgoing - she's the most vocal of the four, and the first to try new things. 

Next is Deuce.  He kind of looks like he is wearing a diaper, but he isn't.  Although with as much of a mess as four puppies can make, diapers are an interesting idea.  Anyway, Deuce is rather shy.  He's warming up quickly though.  He fell asleep in my lap yesterday while I watched TV, and I have to say, there's nothing like cuddling with a soft warm puppy to make your day better!

This is Dusty.  At least, I think it is.  It could be Deuce.  I can't tell them apart very well yet - don't tell anyone.  I think Duece has more white on his back feet than Dusty, but that doesn't help me identify which puppy this is in the picture. Suffice it to say they look very similar.  Dusty is more outgoing than Deuce though. 

This is Dozer.  He's the biggest of the four, and the most shy.  Except when it comes to food - then he's not shy at all.
