Farewell Bell!

Today it was Bell's turn to be adopted!
In the midst of a horrendous day of storms, Bell had to contend with thunder, lightening and rain! For most of the day, she was snug in her little dog house.

Until the wood standing next to the house fell over and scared her out of the doghouse and around the corner of the house. Vince found her huddled against the side of our house, shivering and wet.

We brought her into the house and dried her off and comforted her.

Then, unfortunately, put her in the car and took her to her new home!

Farewell Bell and I hope you have a happy life. It was fun having you and Ranger here to visit for this short time.

Farewell Ranger!

Today we found a new home for Ranger! It was a tearful goodbye for all of us!

Ranger and Bell and I took a ride, as the family wanted to meet both pups before making a final decision. The little girl liked Ranger best, perhaps because he was the smaller of the two..who knows. Regardless, Ranger left with his new family and Bell and I went shopping.

Only for dog food.

When I returned to the truck, Bell was making herself at home on the rear seat of the truck, having hopped over the seats from the cargo section!

She road home with her head hanging down between the seats...perhaps out of loneliness, perhaps out of curiosity. She was a bit mopey at first when we arrived home, but seems okay now.



This will be her first night alone in quite some time.

We HAVE become foster parents!

These two puppies have made their way to the base where Vince works. They were scrawny and obviously had been abandoned at the airport. The crew members have kept them outside (not allowed inside the base!) but have been trying to fatten them up a bit with food.

Now, we need to find them homes!

The lighter one is a girl, the darker one a boy. They are believed to be brother and sister and get along quite well. Vince said they play together and sleep together and are just adorable!


We will probably be their foster parents until we find them new homes. They cannot stay at the base, so when Vince leaves work today, he may have some company!

UPDATE: The pups are officially here. Their names are Bell (the female) and Ranger (the male) after the helicopter that Air-Evac flies. They are very energetic and playful. They will bark when Kashmir and Narnia bark, but they do not bark incessantly for no reason. They are eating well and often as we try to fatten them up a bit---their ribs are still showing a bit too much.
There is no sign of any illness or problem-- ears and eyes are clear, poop is normal!
Right now, they are sitting outside the window peering in at me, hoping I will take pity on them!
