...And now .. the Happy ending...

...The day after Vixen passed I sent my boys out to warn all the other families that had gotten puppies from this family .. I didn't want them to lose their dogs too!When my oldest son returned he was really upset and i asked him what was wrong.. he told me on of his freinds was moving and couldn't keep their puppy so they were having to send her to the post pound!!.. I knew that if that puppy went to the post pound she would be put to sleep... they don't keep them but 3 days...Reluctently and still heart broken i agreed to take the puppy.. not sure i could stand another puppy so soon.. but i had no choice.. so i got to bleaching out my house and making sure no parvo was left.. and then a day later i sent for the "almost homeless" puppy..My son brought her in the house... and the first thing she did was go Belly up... just like her sister!!..i know you can't tell but she has the same markings as her sister Vixen did.. but her's are black instead of cream.. she acted just like my Vixen did.. in almost every way.. with a few quirks of her own....So we named her Vixy.... a few weeks later she showed signs of parvo to.. but luckely we found a vet to help her.. it was touch and go for a few weeks.. but my Vixy survived!!.. i know that Vixen sent her to us!.. we both, Vixy and i needed each other!.. We are all now...buckshot, vixy and the rest of the Pack. very happy and all puppies are healthy and fat!!!.. LOLOL

How very sweet! I know that God answers our prayers and sends Angels in many different forms. Looks like you have a new Angel to love and to love you back!

Hi Monique, What a great shot of Vixy and what a touching story you have for us. I am a dog lover too and always love to hear that they end up in good hands :) Good job!!

A poignant and very touching story. It is so wonderful to hear the happy endings given the cruelty of breeders, puppy mills and insensitive people who think our animal companions are "just dogs." I have lived and loved dogs since childhood rescuing those who would be put to sleep like adorable vixi. I am so touched by people who have the generous heart that you do to respect and love and most devoted friends. I have an red and white Irish Setter Molly and orange belton English Setter, Mikey who is a therapy dog. Reading my story on his work at Children's hosptial demonstrates how important our animals are as part of our family giving more to us and not asking much more than to be loved and cared for. This is a great shot of this alert and beautiful pup who would not have had a life without your intervention. The people who bred dogs with Parvo should be reported so they can not breed again since without these important shots, puppies are very vulnerable to Parvo. The bacteria is in the carpets, grass, concrete and everywhere they play without protection. These people need to be stopped so this tragedy is not repeated and thanks Monique for rescuing this wonderful treasure.

I know the sadness having lost my George last year. But I knew that nothing is sweeter than a wee pup to bring joy to a heavy heart. A beautiful creature and a wonderful photo.

I am so sorry for your loss...parvo is so scarey (had some bouts with it w/past puppies) I know of a home remedy that has worked on some of my pups in the past if you would like to hear it drop me a line :) Thank you for saving this lil one...so cute and so worth it!

Reading the narrative frightened me for a minute. I thought you were going to have two tragedies. Thank whoever is in charge that you have this very healthy pup. What a blessing. Good for you. And a great portrait too. Michael
