It goes without saying that all of our rescues get the love they deserve but this group needed a little extra help. One of the boys was born with a deformity in a front leg and was having a bit of trouble getting picked on by his brothers and sisters. We were able to keep him close to us and things eventually relaxed a bit.

This also gave us a unique opportunity to combine our loves for puppies and my 3D modeling and printing hobby.

Unfortunately because the limb was so small it was very difficult to get the prosthetic to stay on properly. With more time I’m sure we could have figured something out. Luckily the whole litter was adopted quickly.

This was by far the largest breed litter we have had. Mom was an angel indeed.

Having 4 boys and 4 girls in this one made the naming choice easy. There was some internal debate on final selections and with a vote we chose to go with Alice instead of Carol. There was also a strong contingent to name on of the boys Tom, but we chose to stick with the TV theme instead of American football.

Mama is Shelby. Girls are Polly, Aida, Lizzy and Gracie. Boys are Tommy, Arthur, Finn and Alfie. They all look pretty much identical.

Ready for their new homes.

Our first litter to come to us named already.  They were half of the litter (there were three others) as we were still new to fostering.  “Figgy” Figero (boy) was the big brother who protected his three sisters fiercely – “Cleo” (girl), “Marie” (Girl) and “Dinah” (girl).
