My first Dog Rescue

They are gorgeous dogs, to be sure, but it was your mom's smiling, natural face that caught my eye in your photo. She is an absolutely beautiful woman! We should all hope to look so healthy and real at her age.

Rosie (the adult) has heartworms and will be treated once she recovers from the spaying. Gus (the puppy) does not have heartworms, so once he recovers from neutering and the stitches come out, he'll get a bath, which he really needs. It's nice of the rescue lady to keep us informed. Rosie is the one who had the very tight collar. The puppy didn't have a collar. No word on if they are microchipped.

Even if I didn't already have a dog, there's no way I could have kept them. They really need a farm, and I'm sure they will get one, hopefully with some sheep to guard. I know that they will get a more appropriate home than I can provide. My mother already has three dogs, and so her place was out of the question, too. At least she lives in the mountains, though, where it's cooler. My hot and humid climate would not be fair to them.

My mom turns 66 this summer. She takes very good care of herself and always has. It's paid off.

I'm so glad you saved those dogs. They are beautiful. I'm not sure if I could have parted with them. (I can't see it, but I'm sure the word "Sucker" is tattooed on my forehead.)

Oh, that picture is wonderful. Your mother is BEAUTIFUL, and so are the dogs!

that's great that you happen to be there at the right time and right place. Sounds like no matter what happens to them, it's already a happy start!

They're adorable
