Foster #5 Deuce & Gentle Ben, pitty puppies

It doesn't get much cuter than that!!!

I decided to take a foster break. That lasted just about 2 1/2 weeks. Whoops!

I know that we have local rescues, but until now, I had been fostering for a rescue about 35 minutes away for a rescue that I think very highly of. I had also put in contacts with a local rescue, but due to illnesses and fragility, she prefers to keep little puppies in her home.

Well, I saw a call go out for a local rescue that they had a sudden influx of puppies. This rescue happens to be literally a couple of roads down from me, just 2 minutes from our house, tops. So I thought, why not? I put the word out, made the call and that evening these two sweet, tiny pups with their little grunts and puppy breath were sleeping in our house.

Oh. my. goodness! are they sweet?! They came with their problems that they need help with, namely antibiotics for a respiratory infection, salve for their pressure wounds (due to being too many pups in too small of a space) and formula (due to really being too small to eat solid food, yet).

They came here three days ago and they are doing so much better already. Crawling around more, no more grunting and they are attempting to eat solid food without the formula. Their job right now is to sleep, eat and grow and mine is to feed them and keep them clean, basically.

And my biggest challenge right now is not holding them and snuggling them! hahaha They are so sweet and snuggly and just adorable.

This will be our longest foster as we should have them for 4-6 weeks since they will need to be vaccinated twice before they can be adopted out. They are still fairly young (hence the formula and such) and you can tell it when they are walking around.

Gentle Ben already has an approved adoption application so when he is old enough to go, he already has a home waiting for him! WOOT!!!
