We have some exciting news... Rockie is now the proud mother of THREE!! We are pleased to report that she successfully delivered her pups yesterday and everyone is healthy (and seemingly happy). Unforunately we don't have any pictures of the little ones yet...
We decided it would be best if Rockie stayed at Jim's house for a little while due to the cold weather and her not-so-good history of traveling. I want to make sure that we clarify that we are taking full responsibility for our new puppies. We're a little limited on the amount of care we can provide in our small house within city limits so we're lucky that Jim has been so great about helping out.
I recently posted a question about caring for new pups on an online question board and was pretty much attacked by a slew of crazies that assumed I abuse my dog and am not caring for her because she lives outside. So not true. She has a nice underground dog house at Jim's (or igloo like I like to call it) fully equipped with a heat lamp for this time of year! As far as outside pets go she is living the dream right now!! She also has an insulated dog house within our garage at home but we wanted to be sure the new puppies had an even cozier home while they are so small and fragile.
Of course, we're fully aware of the current issue with pet over-population and we're not proud to be counted as part of the problem. That being said, what's done is done and we realize that our dear Rockie needs to be spayed... pronto. We're on it and we've done the research to pin point the appropriate time period for a new mama to be fixed. We're on a mission to make sure our new little beauties stay healthy, are properly weaned and safely placed in a loving home... Please let us know if you or a friend/family member would like to adopt a new pet! :)
