Just Emma Here Living the Cushy Life

Skipper (or sometimes People are a bit....)

shallow.

I just wanted to talk to you about this sweet little guy in rescue. His name is Skipper.

He is a rescue from a Puppy Mill. He was rescued with 3 other dogs. He was the only one that came in shaved. He is totally nekkid, bol.

Well, his cell mates were all adopted quickly, but poor nekkid Skipper waits for someone to see past the spindly legs, and big nose and see the truly beautiful, shy guy he is....

Here is his page.

Here is their page on Puppy Mill rescues.

So Skipper is looking for that special person that sees the special in him. That will be patient and will help him grow into a confident dog.

Power of the Paw (or NOW FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS)

I'm reprinting from a plus forum that I started....

April 28th 2009
I have been watching some pups online.

The Mom (Kate) was rescued from a BYB situation. When the rescue got her and 2 other dogs, they shaved them down, and discovered that Kate was pregnant.

The rescue prepared for puppies and tried to get Kate to gain some weight, and waited. A week and a half ago 5 sweet puppies were born.

Right away, we all noticed one puppy was having problems. The vet confirmed that the puppy was born with a severe cleft palate, and he was put to sleep as he was slowly starving.

After that heartbreak, we were all grateful that the remaining pups seemed to be gaining weight, and were becoming these little rolly pollies.

Last night, one of the little girls, Abbie started to cry. She passed away last night. The foster Mom rushed to the vet, but it was too late.

Apparently, they have hookworms. Mom passed it to the pups.

Wilson passed this afternoon. Two remain, Callie and Paddington.

The next 24 hours will be critical.

If you could send just a little thought or prayer...

these ladies (and all you) who help the helpless give so much of yourselves, to loose these new innocents is just heartbreaking.

And today's-

April 30th

The 2 remaining pups (Calliope and Paddington) are holding on. Foster Mom had a bad day, but all of the well wishes and prayers helped.

~~Thank You, thank you~~

They are both home, and with Momma Kate.

In honor of the 2 pups that died, the rescue is asking all who read this to pass the word to 2 people about Puppy Mills. Through Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Dogster, wherever you can think of...

Here are the two pups and Momma Kate. There is usually someone on that can tell you about the rescues.

Here is their webpage

Hi All (or Mom is really bad about updating my diary...)

First-

The Wheaten Meetin'. We had a blast! We enjoyed the parade much more this year. The day was actually nice, so there was a lot more people than last year. As long as I get to walk and enjoy the day I'm happy.

We have been working really hard with the help of some great trainers and some awesome Dogsters. It has been a year since Mom started to get help for us. She really could see the difference at the Meetin'.

The first night was a little stressful, but we kept it calm and we went outside for some short walks if I was feeling to freaked. I was wearing my wrap, and even was able to lay down a bit. We did some clicking in the dinning room and I was able to stay focused. It wasn't all good, there was this Beardie (Mom says she was sooo cute, whatever) and I really didn't like her coming too close. So it seems the bigger dogs are still pushing my buttons. Something to work on.

The next morning, we went down to the parade route. Saw some Newfies! Did some barking (yeah, but I didn't start it). And even was able to get close to a couple of dogs to do some sniffing!!! Mom was very happy about that, who knew butt sniffing could be so reinforcing, bol.

Saturday night, another dinner. This night was a little longer, because they had a couple of seminars, the dinner, silent auction, and raffle. I kept my cool most of the time. I did sneak in a nap while Mom and Grandma were eating. I even let some of the nice ladies give me some pats. Heck, I even let a famous person (to our group anyway) HOLD me in her arms for our group photo!! Mom says there is now physical proof, via photo, bol.

Sunday morning, Mom had a headache so we just decided to drive home. All in all it was a really great weekend. Our hard work has really started to pay off. Here's looking forward to next year.....


Second-

If anyone is looking for a new companion S'Wheat Rescues have some lovely dogs and puppies looking for their own furever home.
