April's Page
|
I have a new name - April!
I don't know if I had a name before 'cause I lived at a place called
"hoarder", with lots of other dogs.
 |
I didn't get enough to eat where I lived before.

I have I diamond on the back
of my head, which just happens to be the birthstone for April. How
cool is that?!

I just had my first bath
here and I'm feeling FRISKY! |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Being an older girl with a big secret, I need lots of naps. My
favorite spot is on the couch. |
|
 |
 |
|
Not another bath!
 |
Just 'cause my skin's all
scabby looking and my hair's falling out I keep getting baths.
 |
This sucks!
 |
|
11 days later...BUSTED!
 |
Yep, I'm packin' puppies.
The x-ray showed two. Surprise!
 |
It's Friday, 5/23, and they
think my babies will be here any time.
 |
|
So mom made me a whelping pen
and we start to wait...
 |
and wait...

and the days pass and I just
keep getting bigger...

Tuesday,5/27, puppy #1
arrives around 9:00 AM. I knew just what to do and
took care of him all by myself. He was a very hungry
boy. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
A couple hours later, puppy
#2 popped out. He's a very hungry boy, too. |
|
 |
 |
|
Outside my whelping pen,
the rest of the Hoppers stood guard.

It's been a long day and I'm
very tired. But it's been a good day and I'm very happy. I'm
so proud of my two healthy boys. Not bad for an old dog, huh?
 |
|
We had a puppy pool to name
my babies and raise some money to help take care of them and me.
Pam Watkins won the honor. She named them after the two latest
Hoppers who went to the Rainbow Bridge,
Rudolph and
Fred. |
|
Happy Birthday, Rudy!
 |
Happy Birthday, Freddie!
 |
|
Now it's time to go to my
foster home. I'm going to live with Gail Utz and her family
for a couple of months. They live on a farm in VA and know all
about taking care of newborns. It will be much better there
for me and my babies. No crabby old hounds to bother us all
the time. |
|
 |
 |
|
Puppies at 5 weeks. |
|
 |
 |
|
Rudie & Freddie at 9 1/2
weeks and ready to go to their new homes. |
|
 |
 |
 |

|
I am so happy to be home
again at house of puddles! |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Playing with my friends
and my toys.
 |
I win!
 |
|
|
Now I am SO enjoying my
retirement. It's about time! |
