Update 8/25/03:
Rickie is doing great in rescue. She has gained weight and looks really good. She has not been spayed yet, but that will happen next week. Rickie LOVES toys – well, she loves to kill toys, that is. She has a Wiggly Giggly toy that is her favorite. She is crate-trained. Rickie is very active, more like a 4 – 5 year old dog. She will counter surf. She will “check out” the garbage. She gets along well with other dogs. She is unsure of cats. She does not walk well on a leash. She wants love and attention and to live INSIDE.
Orginial:
Rickie and her three puppies were found by a caring animal lover after apparently being abandoned. Mom and daughters were all in very bad shape. Mom was rail thin and the puppies had not had any of the appropriate early puppy care. When Rickie was presented with a bowl of food (even though she was obviously starving) she picked the bowl up and carried it to her puppies so they could eat. Rickie could not be persuaded to eat until she was separated from her babies.
Rickie is the sweetest springer. She just wants to be loved and cared for. She is an excellent mother, but was also relieved to have someone to “help” her with the babies. Rickie is good with children and cats are unknown at this point. Whomever is lucky enough to add this girl to their family will definitely never regret it.
Rickie and her babies are now in a MAESSR foster home where they will be getting the care necessary to bring they back to perfect health. Please think a good thought for Rickie and her babies.
