Snickers

Bear


Tiny Tim

Smokey



Bella




Ginger






Cocoa





Her-She







Since there is no adoption news recently, I am going to update our puppy pics here. They are available for "adoption" to contribute to our adoption airfare fund. Will ship to any state. Wow! By the time they are with their new forever families, we may have our referral! That would be wonderful. I need her home with me BAD. I have been having to supplement Tiny Tim with bottle feeds, and I have taken him into Annseigh's room, wrapped snuggly in a towel and sat in her rocker and feed him. That is ridiculous! ....And no I have not put him in her crib..........yet....

Week 20!

Its been 20 weeks since waiting for a referral. It has gone by fast. Typically the families in our agency have been waiting for 6 - 6 1/2 months for a baby girl referral, so it should not be much longer before we get our call. We are very ready, except for getting our immunizations. We have been putting that off. But, we cant put it off much longer. So we will be doing that very soon. Luckily, my work requires a booser DTaP and flu shot, so I got those free. Anyway, not much else to post on the adoption. There has been another little lull in the referrals again. Hopefully this week we will hear of some more blessed families!

We have 8 Chinese Shar-Pei pups for sale! The money will cover the cost of our airfare to travel and bring Annsleigh home. They are 1 week old now and adorable. Taking care of them and momma Cheyenne sure is passing the time waiting for a referral. We are already at week 19! And another family received their referral last week. Congrats to them! (Look for more pics to come, as these pups grow. )

We Have 8 Babies!




Our sweet Shar-Pei, Cheyenne had her pups last night. Poor thing had 8 babies! And they are gorgeous. I am sure we will have many more pics to show as they grow. It was a long night for all of us, but she did all the work. We are exhausted today, and all just taking it easy. Anyone interested in a pup, just let me know! (PS another referral today moves us up the list! A 15 month old boy got referred today!)

Another Referral Today!

There has been another referral today! A 6-month old baby girl will soon meet her forever family! They have been waiting 6 months. So, we have probably a couple more months waiting, but the excitement when another family receives their referral is contagious! We move up to #50ish now. Congratulations to the lucky family! I cannot wait to post that we have our referral.

More Referrals!

This has been a very exiting week for us waiting families. There have been 5 referrals in the last 2 days! And most of them were teeny tiny 1-2 month olds. For any waiting family, this creates a wave of exicitement and hope because we know it will one day be our turn. We are now moved up to about #51 on the list.
