When James goes for his walk, he carries dog treats in his pocket for all the neighborhood dogs. They all know it and walk up behind him nudging his hand for their share. Along the way he stops at Taco's fence to give him a treat as well, but this morning Taco wasn't in the fence - ten little puppies were!
The emaciated mama dog had been abandoned with her puppies and then rescued by Taco's parents. They shared the story with James and he came home to tell me. We hopped in the truck and were there in no time flat. We chose a mottled, brown little girl and a solid, black little boy.
The remainder of the afternoon consisted of dog prepping. We cleaned out and rearranged our hot house/lawnmower building for them to sleep in, made a supply run to Tractor Supply, and built them a crate.
Now there is only one bad thing about this turn of events. Ella and Carson have been planning on coming to Ruston for the new puppy/biddie weekend this spring. I can't bare to disappoint them so I'm just thinking that these puppies will need to be a part of our Thanksgiving festivities!!!! They'll probably love turkey and dressing!
