Uh-oh & Yay!!!

Well...we got the call last night! There are another 48 puppies that were pulled out of that puppy mill in Indiana (same place where 19 of our rescue puppies came from last month).

We can't do all 48, but we committed to 26. (Where am I going to put them all?) Not sure when they will arrive, because they will pass through multiple hands of the transport chain before they get to us. All will be puppies. All will be up to date on shots. Most will be spayed or neutered already. From the sounds of things, we will likely be getting:
  • MaltiPoos
  • Poodles
  • Yorkie Poos
  • Boxers
  • Golden Retrievers
  • Brussel/Bichons
  • a Chihuahua mix
  • a Yorkie
  • Boston/Beagles
  • a Bichon
  • a Min Pin
  • a Shih Tzu
  • Silky Terriers
  • and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. (just kidding about that one)
My guess is that thay will get here late tonight (Thursday) and that we will open Friday with very weary puppies and very weary staff. The intake on 26 puppies will be an ENORMOUS task, not to mention trying to get the store open by noon!

Please do not call or email us on these babies yet! We'll be too busy to answer the phone or email. We are gonna be buried in puppies and puppy poop! It's gonna take a little bit to figure out what we've got once they get here. If everything works like last time, I should have an update ON THE WEBSITE by LATE Thursday night (probably just before midnight). We open Friday at 12 noon. Please don't come early. There will be plenty of puppies to go around, and they aren't allowed to leave until next week (after their intake process is finished). Depending on their stress levels, we may not even allow people to handle them on Friday. They will be tired and scared, and we probably will be too, especially if you all MOB us after these babies!! (wink, wink)

Whew!! The Bible says that "To whom much is given, much is expected. To whom much is entrusted, even more will be required."

I can't think of a better way to put this all into perspective.

We'll get it all figured out. We always do. And at the end of it all, we'll have 26 happy families who adopted 26 rescued puppies. Doesn't get much better than that!

Thanks in advance for your support and enthusiasm! We love you guys!
