There is hope for youth today

Well here goes,

Today Sasha our youngest puppy of 4months went for another cast change, when this little one turned up with a few children who have tried caring for this two week old Jack Russel, his mother is dead and they took him on from a owner who gave these puppies out 6week! before they was ready.

Some pictures we are keeping him till he is 8week then contacting the previous owners, and if they do not collect we shall sell him on to someone from E-Pups.com after he is paper trained and all healthy.

Problem is I am already attached to "Drake" as we have called him.

but at three dogs we cannot take on another one.

Awwwww!

No wonder you're smitten, poor, cute little thing.

I'm sure you will do the right thing, for Drake and for your own dogs as well.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Sorry, I'm showing my softy side here, but he looks exactly like my parents' Jack Russell, Eddie did when we first got him.

He is fast asleep, and credit to tesco of rochdale's staff for going above call of duty to ensure we had fresh goats milk and a bottle to feed him.

I am sure you could sqeeze another one in, and as you are already attached, problem solved

AndrewJ · 27-07-2005, 23:02

LOL well we are only doing this till he is 8week old, then contacting the family who had him before, the children wanted to continue caring for him but after 4days being awake solid feeding him every 2hours the parents needed help for there children.

So once he hits 8week, we shall contact them, however if they do a bunk on us then we have the terrible choice keep or sell, and right now we just could not cope with another addition to the familiy.

Just to go over Drake as we call him is fine and has one hell of a appetite, he is asleep in his little box which keeps him out of trouble.

The children who asked us to bring him up are not answering our calls to let them know how he is, and the parents are doing the same, so when he hits 8weeks we will give them writting and phone call's to let them know, ( they live right on other side of manchester ) and if they do not get back to us we shall have to sell the little treasure, we just could not handle another doggy here.

No doubt after a thorough interview and inspection of the potential owners and their home for Drake.

Of course he would be registered with a relatives kennel club or dogs lovers if we can, then all sales would be through Epups, with vetting being mandatory, he is here because he was just sold to children who could not care for him, with no vetting if there home was suitable.

I feel for the other pups who was not so lucky and could have ended up in rotten homes

Jules · 29-07-2005, 21:03

He is gorgeous

Halcyon · 30-07-2005, 14:26

Wow at this rate you could open an animal rescue centre ewith all the dogs you have.
Good luck to you both and great work helping these poor little dogs out.

Here are some pictures of them all, Sasha is off to vets tommorow to have her cast removed and her paw checked and hopefully sent home being able to walk on all fours.

Drake as we named him is fine feeding every three hours now, as for the other two Shadow and Snowy they are fine and happily snoozing right now.

Shadow our oldest

Sasha who is 4month old and soon to loose that cast.

Snowy our oldest Samoyed, is now 1year 2month and a very well train dog compared to the shambles we got when we bought him.

And Drake our youngest pup, the demon piddling machine, which is this tiny puppy, we all love him and his nature for finding the ability to piddle just when you least need it or would expect him too, a great laugh and already one of the family after only one week of being here.

That pup is just soooo cute
