Mama Mary Jane

MJ is ADOPTED!

2007-12-29T21:51:00.000-06:00

Before she even had a chance to settle in to her new foster home, her Forever Family came calling. She has a wonderful life ahead of her-- including the chance to become a Pet Therapy dog!-- and she will be a part of a loving family. Congratulations, sweet mama!

Busy Week!

2007-12-11T03:20:00.000-06:00

MJ went to a new foster home this week... hopefully it will be only a brief stay, because we are very hopeful that she will be in her real Forever Home very soon!

She was charming at the Meet & Greet on Saturday... a real little lady!

Good Luck, MJ!

MJ spayed!

2007-12-07T01:32:00.000-06:00

Today is the day that MJ is finally going to be spayed, microchipped, and rabies vaccinated. After today, she is completely ready to go to her Family!!

She has had another good week... a very sweet and easy-going girl! Hopefully they will find her very soon.

Life with M.J.

2007-11-29T04:30:00.000-06:00

M.J. has proven to be a delightful companion. She was very quickly housebroken and crate trained and now enjoys the run of the house. She is not a barker, not a chewer. She enjoys sitting on the couch and watching TV. What a sweetie!

She went to a trial home this week, but they weren't ready for her so she is still looking for her real home!

MJ is ready to move to her Forever Home!

2007-11-19T01:57:00.000-06:00

MJ is doing well without her pups. She has started workng on her crate training and housebreaking, and she is getting a chance to regain her physical health. She is a sweet gentle girl who gets along with everyone but prefers some quiet cuddling.

5 weeks old: New Foster Home!

2007-11-14T12:48:00.000-06:00

The pups have gone to a wonderful new foster home to finish growing and getting ready for their adoptions. They are all big and healthy and will make wonderful pets to some lucky adopters! Please fill-out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting one of them!

4 weeks old: Mayflower & Meg

2007-11-14T11:51:00.000-06:00

Mayflower is the biggest puppy and has special markings with her white "pilgrim collar". Meg is another good snuggler, and a very content puppy. She looks so much like her brother, Monk, that for the first month we often had to check gender to tell them apart!

4 weeks old: Monk & Ben

2007-11-14T11:40:00.001-06:00

Monk is the smallest puppy, such a sweet little boy. Ben is the first to race to the dish-- or the door of their pen-- or to most situations. He is our little boy, Ben's, favorite because he has a tiny white tip on his tail.

4 weeks old: JT & Merrie

2007-11-14T11:09:00.000-06:00

JT is the snuggliest puppy. He is the last to the food dish, just a relaxed little guy. Merrie is the beauty of the bunch. Truly adorable!

Two Weeks Old- Eyes Open!

2007-10-24T21:35:00.000-05:00

MJ's puppies' eyes and ears opened this week and they are starting to WALK! Darling babies!!

10 Days Old

2007-10-20T20:51:00.001-05:00

Finally- photos of the babies! They have had a wonderful Neonatal Period. They've grown well and are already beginning to move around quite a bit:

Neonatal Period (0-13 days)
Puppy’s brain is not yet highly developed. He responds to the mother’s licking for
elimination; responds to warmth and food. Puppy’s reflexes are slow. Make sure the puppy is safe, warm, and well fed.

Happy Birth Day!

2007-10-12T01:24:00.000-05:00

M.J. had her beautiful puppies on Wednesday. We knew when we went to bed on the 9th that she was getting closer, and by morning it was clear we had arrived at "Puppy Day". Here is the Whelping Log:

Wednesday, October 10, 2007:

7:55 AM : "Monk" was born! He is brown with no markings. He weighed 10.3 oz.

8:40 AM: "Ben" was born! He is brown with a tiny white tip on his tail, some white markings on his chest, and white toes. He weighed 11.8 oz.

9:10 AM: "Merrie" was born! She is black with a white forehead stripe and she weighed 11.8 oz.

10:05 AM: "Mayflower" was born! She is black with a white “pilgrim” collar and she weighed 12.1 oz.

10:15 AM: "Meg" was born—surprisingly fast! She is brown without other markings and is the biggest puppy at 12.2 oz.

10:50 AM: "JT" was born! He is brown with a white diamond surrounding a brown diamond on his chest and darling white feet. He weighed 11.4 oz.

It was very hard work for sweet MJ.. she was so dirty and tired but clearly content when it was over. Now we will be able to baby the Mama while she cares for her pups.

Welcome, MJ!

2007-10-05T21:32:00.001-05:00

MJ came into foster care as a very pregnant mama. We took her to get a full bath on the way home and settled in to wait for the puppies...
