Our pups are doing fine with L


Starjoy with his newfound pals


Eliza, Jean-Paul, Maggie totally at ease in their new home.

I can't help but think - Scott could have been one of these 3 blessed pups with L. Just by a stroke of choice, timing, destiny (?), he was chosen by S first, and missed the chance of a happy childhood with his siblings.

As we walk on with our strays, we have to make these choices that determine the future of our dogs - to rehome or to put down....to let them give birth or to abort... to leave them as strays or to bring them to Noah's Ark... to treat them or to let them die?

I have not reconciled this power of choice placed in our hands.


Earlier post of 22 July:

"They are given full rein of the kitchen in L's home - a longish, biggish kitchen that leads to a backyard. For the time being, they will be staying mostly in the kitchen while L begins to toilet train them, first on paper but I guess eventually the backyard will be the better choice.


She is very willing to keep all 3 unless we can be assured of getting a genuinely good family for the 3rd pup. Right now, Eliza Teresa (black and tan gal) and Jean-Paul (brown boy - cos L's regular vet is Dr Jean-Paul!) are a close bond. So if need be, our fluffy bearish gal would be up for adoption.

Starjoy, L's cavalier king charles. is such a darling boy. So sweet and manja. He's been so tolerant of the pups' antics. For the longest time, his life has not been as exciting as now. But when the pups really tire him out, he'll hide in the pups' carrier for some respite.

L cooks for them - brown rice plus boiled carrots, potatoes, boneless chicken and egg yolk - what more can we ask for?

Eliza is the most active and engaging one. Little feisty gal. Jean-Paul is a sweet dude - pretty laidbacked about most things, prefering to snooze at his fav spot under the wooden rack. Maggie Muffin is the independent one, more on her own, whiney babe , prefering to snooze under the kitchen island unit.

This is why it is always more interesting to have more than 1 dog - you really see their individual character shine thru!

For now, my heart is relieved that our 3 pups are safe and sound. God bless L and her big heart."
