It's actually a real puppy. There was a bad accident Saturday
caused by an elder person who didn't realize they were past driving
and getting easily confused. I can sympathize with how this can
happen (not like, just understand).

The owners of a large dog with pups going for basic shots were hit
head on. The mother dog did not survive but 5 puppies of 8 did (1
still in danger) as did all the humans. The 2 owners should be out
of the hospital in the next 3-6 days but aren't up to puppy care.

Please, if possible, try to secure your pets when driving. It's
difficult, I know. But make your best effort. See, the 4 foots
don't have the protection of seatbelts.

Purrs for the pups - I always tell people I see that have dogs
unsecured about the time we had our Boston Terriers (both RB)
unsecured in the back seat, when an ambulance pulled out in front of
us and we slammed on the brakes. Both dogs went flying into the back
of our seats. Buster wasn't hurt, but Jasper had a black eye from it.
We drove to the closest pet supply place and bought seat belts for
them.


Thank you. I don't have the exact details but the 4 pups who were
'bruised' were all in a sort of styrofoam box. The one in danger has
since passed. The rest were free on the floor on a blanket.

Meantime, 'Rosey' isn't mine. She's just here for a bit. There is a
waiting list to adopt her but they have to wait for the '2foots' to
come out from the hospital and release the ones they want adopted.

I hope no one thinks me awful, but I am not up to a dog of Rosey's
size. She's something like 9lbs already and her feet are 1/2 the size
of Iowna's head!

She got some very initial training today. If you jump at me, I do not
want to play. If you come at me sweetly, I will play. That was advice
from the rescue as she's gonna be a BIG girl so needs to learn how to
be safe around others. I can only hope I am doing it right! They say
she might top 200lbs so it is essential to give early training.

Cross your fingers that I got it right.
