yupe. i wanted some cuttings that jon has. but my fig fund ran dry. didn't expect two puppies suddenly. tomorrow, i'm taking them to their first vet visit. one of the puppies is rather "cautious". she's now much more sociable. wagging her tail and jumping on me. but still don't take to other things easily like her other sister. but what a cutie. her other sister is just all over the place jumping over things, dragging things around, but lucy will sit and wait for me to tell her to do something. every time i'm front of her, she will seat and wait for me to do something. it's amazing. my wife things she might have been abused and just scared of things. i'm not sure if that's the case or just her personality. oh.. she just started rolling over for me to scratch her. until day before, she won't roll over like her other sister, barrett, and let me scratch her chest. i guess she sort of trust me now.

Funny with dogs they all have there own little personality.
You there all day go out for 5 minutes come back and its like they have not seen you all day.
There amazing .

martin, that's one thing that i love about dogs. they act like they missed you so much. so happy to see you all the time. just makes going home after work that much better. can't wait till summer.. dogs waiting for me, and figs to eat out in the back. can't imagine life any better. maybe winning the powerball.. lol

Being cautious doesn't mean they were abused. Some are just naturally that way. I have two, same breed, same sex, very different personalities. One is fearless and crazy, the other is a lover but fearful. They've both lead great lives, they're just individual little critters with their own personalities.

nicole, same here.. they are from same litter. they are sisters from same mother and father, one is wild, other is so "proper" it's not even funny.

took the girls to vet yesterday. the girls are supped to be only about 8 weeks old per vet.. my wife is very upset that someone let the puppies roam the neighborhood that young and abandoned them. well.. so we decided that their b-day will be 12/12/12. yeah.. 12 is a good number. multiple of 3.

it was so funny at the vet. all the staffs were so loving the girls. and when the vet was doing the exam the vet didn't think that barrett will be so hyper. barrett stuck her whole face into the baby food jar and get it all over her face. then while lucy was taking her turn barrett was complaining that she is not getting any more.

looking at the pix i posted, they have already grown a lot from that pix. and it's only been a week! per vet, they are very healthy with no issues.

Glad to hear they checked out healthy. Your vet adventures sound similar to mine. I have a treat pouch with me at all times. For Violet (my cautious one) I give her treats to keep the experience positive so she has no fears of the vet. She gets a treat after every poke and procedure. Sadie, on the other hand, is crazy and the treats are just to encourage her to keep all 4 feet on the ground! Otherwise she jumps up on everyone and everything in a frantic, desperate attempt to simultaneously kiss the vet AND steal the cookies from her pockets. And her kisses are intense. She will try to clear your sinuses if you aren't careful.

My facebook friends list is heavy with dog loving people, many of which are deep into the rescue scene. I wish I could say your cute pups' stories were rare... sometimes, people suck. I am glad everyone has landed in loving homes.
