The Song of (Adoptable and Adorable) Pups B & C

Life Animal Adoptions & Emergencies

an introduction to the song:
Little B and Little C are sisters, shiny black w/ brown markings, born sometime in August 2006. Each is slightly smaller than a cat (now), but will become medium-sized dogs soon. They are immunized (2 out of 3 in the series), not yet spayed (but will be), healthy, curious, fun-loving, energetic and in need of good homes!!

Their cuteness compels me now to sing…

“the Song of (Adoptable and Adorable!) Pups B & C”

"I saw some rats there in the road
I stopped my car: lo & behold
not rats but pups.

They were not cute they were not clean
One even had a balding mien
I thought oh yuck.

I took them home to my distress
I feared my life was now a mess:
too many pups.

More dogs than I can train or feed
More dogs than anybody needs
the cat is mad.

But soon it seemed we loved these rats
Their rodent ways had charmed the cat
and still they grew

Cuter as the days go by
Their trusting ways, their beady eyes
inspire my song.

Full of life and full of joy
Pups B & C (one bold, one coy)
now need a home.

B is bright and perky-eared
While C is calm and full of cheer;
each one a dear.

Can you give them love and time?
No sweeter pair of pups you’ll find:
they could be yours

If you can prove to my strict cat,
To me and our 6 big dogs that
you’ll love them so…

Then we may be persuaded to
Let B and C come live with you
and be your pups!"

If I were you I’d post pics. Pics sell. Also, you should contact AnimalsTaiwan.org to see if they need an in-house griot. :laughing:

See them and swoon!

You’ve done a fantastic job with them. They look great now. Exactly like my old Kali (may she rest in peace). Good luck with homing them.

They are adorable, and the song is fantastic. I wish we could adopt them. My girl is the same type, but with ears that flop down. It’s almost exactly ten years to the day since I found her on Roosevelt Road. I initially thought she was grey, but three baths later she turned out to be black and tan.

Sandman, Shane was asking me about Kali recently, and I said if she was still with us, she must be very old indeed. She was a good girl.

It was encouraging to hear about 2 well-loved dogs: Sandman’s Kali and Pijiu’s floppy-eared pup! Thanks!
May B and C be as equally beloved in their future homes!!!

There must be a large family of pups who share these cute looks… I got a call from a woman who has an older dog that looks just like B; she wanted to adopt Little B and it sounded like a dream home, with space for romping and other dogs to play with…

BUT…

A few days before she called, B had already been chosen by a couple who live near me. The man has retired and he wants a pup to keep him company. They chose B kind of randomly (because she stayed awake and acted curious, whereas C just fell asleep). They’ve never had a dog before, but they’ve already bought (and read) 3 how-to-raise-a-dog books, and they are VERY eager for B to live with them. B’s going for her trial stay at their place next week.

(Alas for the 2nd person who chose B; I never thought I’d have the problem of too many offers for these pups!) (And I sort of wish the couple near me had chosen C, then each pup would now have a home.) But I have to believe it was meant to be, and obviously everywhere there are more than enough lovely adoptable dogs to go around!

The thing is, I’m a little worried about the separation: since they were in the WOMB, B has never been a MOMENT away from her sisters A and C.

(OK and I’m worried about my separation from B too although it’s ridiculous because the day I picked ABC up off the road I swore I would find homes for them and would not wind up with MORE DOGS in my home and at the time I had no feelings for them whatsoever and I purposely avoided giving them real names and now look at me.)

I feel pretty good about A because she’s going to a home with 2 kids, 2 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 birds. But B’s prospective new family has no other animals and their kids are grown… and B of the three is the one who most loves to play like crazy with my big dogs…

WELL if anyone has experience with this kind of thing, I’m wondering what I can do to make B’s transition easier. (Maybe, if I think I’m doing something to make it easier for B, then it will be easier for me!)

Should I visit her at some point during the trial stay, and maybe bring her sisters, so that she knows she still has a connection to her old life and hasn’t just been suddenly abandoned in a strange place? Or should I stay away completely for the entire trial stay period so that she can bond with her new family and forget her old life?!!

I’ve been fond of other strays, but didn’t have such a hard time giving them away when they found real homes.
With ABC I’m giving away dogs that I’ve fallen in love with.
Whereas at the moment I decided to keep each of the animals I have now, I didn’t love a one of them.
(Although I love them all now!)
