What could we do but take these beautiful girls home. I think they are some type of German/Belgian Shepard or Shepard mix and they are just gorgeous and so very sweet. I can't believe how skinny they both are. I assume they are sisters but one is much larger than they other and they have obviously been without food for quite some time. Considering the freezing nighttime temperatures we've had these past few nights, it broke my heart to think how cold they must have been and how hungry they are.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them (although in my heart I'm pretty sure), but I know that for now, they are warm, safe, have food and water, lots of love and affection, and have a big crate with lots of warm blankets to sleep in. Today I take them to my vet for a good examination. Stay tuned :)
They are beautiful dogs I hope you can find a
ReplyDeletegood home for them. Sorry I missed your call

Love you

What a sweet rescue story Diane...I have a feeling you'll be naming them rather soon ;-)
ReplyDeleteOur dog was a rescue dog. His mom was hit by a car and the litter was found on the side of the highway...a wonderful woman picked them all up (8 of them) and bottle fed the entire group every two hours!! We are so blessed that she made the sacrifice because Blitz has been such a unifying force in our lives as our kids have grown up.
You've got a kind heart <3 Cat
Diane, it was clearly fate, and so good of you to stop. I once stood in the middle of a lane on the freeway to save a dog from certain death. How wonderful that they both found you. Except for needing some extra calories, I hope they both check out to be healthy. Congratulations on your new puppies!
ReplyDeleteHi Cat...you're right ;) I did decide to keep them. There was no way I was going to give them up. Now comes the fun part...training them :) But I will enjoy that part too. Blitz...I love his name!
ReplyDeleteHi Curbstone Valley Farm...thanks for your note! That's pretty much all they need...calories and deworming; They are healthy otherwise. Thanks for visiting!
how can people do that just dump puppies/kittens etc. and how wonderful there are people like you who rescue them, lucky for them you were passing by with such good eyes, Frances
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your new dogs. Please kiss them from me, and tell them that I would like to hug them ASAP :-P
ReplyDeleteYou have a good warm loving heart and those poor puppies know it and grateful for your timely rescue...see how they posed quietly for you! So cute..
ReplyDeleteHi Island Threads...yes, I, too, am appalled and so puzzled as to how people can just abandon helpless puppies and kittens (and other animals)so randomly and without a 2nd thought. But I also truly believe in Universal karma and "As you sow, so shall you reap." But the puppies are so precious! Thanks for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteRachel...yes, I knew you would fall in love with them! :) Surely one day you will get to meet them. They are amazing dogs and I think (know) they found me for a reason. Life is funny that way.
p3chandan...thank you for your kind comments. These puppies are such a blessing to me. I've only had them 2 days and yet, I can't imagine my life now without them! Thank you for stopping by!
I am the biggest animal lover and what you did was so compassionate and wonderful. They are beautiful girls and I would have done the same thing. Difference is in New York, it is unlikely anyone would have helped. Great people on the good state of Texas. Some day they will surely pay back your kindness. I am so glad you saved them. This is my first visit to your blog and reading this post, I will be back.
ReplyDeleteDiane, Beautiful post, beautiful dogs and a beautiful heart. I was encouraged by Donna of GardenWalkGardenTalk to read this. She is right! I am glad I did. I shall stay tuned. I am quite sure, they will be putting on weight soon. I can just imagine them smiling in their next post. Happy for the dogs and happy for you too.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna...I only did what, in my heart, was the right thing. The puppies are such a blessing to me! And so much fun :) Yes, Texans are wonderful, caring, helpful people and I'm blessed to live here. Thank you for visiting!
ReplyDeleteOne...thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you stopped by! The puppies are growing stronger every. It's beautiful to see. I'm the lucky one for having found them. Merry Christmas to me! :)
Thank you for stopping and picking them up!!! I volunteer at a no-kill shelter and we are constantly bombarded with other peoples canine/feline "trash". You didn't find them by accident. You were meant to find them and they you. Even dogs have guardian angels!!
ReplyDeleteHi TS...You're right. I'm the lucky one because they found me. It's only been a few days but now, I can't imagine my life without these pups. It's truly incredible. I consider my life blessed in many ways and these puppies are just one more blessing for me. Thank you for your kind words and Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteLovely pups and a wonderful rescue story. We have rescue many puppies and kitten in our life. Some of them are homed and some of them become part of the family.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the girls.
What a wonderful story of kindness! It's just what many of us need to hear this morning, I am sure. Found dogs (and cats) are the best ... our pets find us when we are ready for them. I'm glad to see that these little beauties are staying with you!
ReplyDeleteConnie
Good morning Connie :) These little girls indeed did find me and they've been an absolute joy! I didn't realize it, but I was ready for them and the challenge and happiness they will bring to my life. God works in wonderful ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Dear Diane, All the pets I have ever owned have been rescue animals and they have all without exception proved to be the most loving and loyal of animals. I cannot believe how people can just abandon animals when there are so many charitable organisations that they can be given to if they are a problem to keep. I know that your new found friends will win a way to your heart and I am so pleased that you can determine a safe and happy furture for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart-warming story! I am so happy for your two new family additions. What beautiful dogs they are, and many, many happy years to all of you!
ReplyDeleteHow kind you are. The puppies are so lucky to be in such a caring place.
ReplyDeleteHi Edith...I agree with you. Rescue animals are the best. They know what it's like to be cold and hungry and warm and fed, and they like warm and fed better :) These puppies stole my heart very quickly. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen for your warm wishes. I'm looking forward to a wonderful, loving, long relationship with these dogs.
Hi Greenearth :) Thank you for your nice comments. It is I who is the lucky one for these beautiful girls having come into my life. Thank you for visiting my blog!
I came here via a link from GardenWalkGardenTalk. Beautiful story. Best wishes to you and your beautiful dogs.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I just left a comment about you received the stylish Blog Award and can not resist leaving a comment here too.
ReplyDeleteI showed this post to my hubby, who is a big lover of German Shepherd Dogs and we both agree, those puppies are just gorgeous!
So there is something else we do have in common, we both love dogs. :)
Hi Paula Jo...me again :) Thank you for your kind words regarding the Stylish Blog award...It was very cool to be awarded it by a fellow garden blogger.
ReplyDeleteThese puppies have been a true gift to me and if you want to see more recent photos of them, go to the Reflections post that I wrote in February. Thank you for your interest in them...they are amazing and I just love 'em! Hope to hear from you again!
Diane :)
