Puppies Get New Playground

Jake And Jazzy Finally Get To Their "Forever Home"

We kept the foster names for Jake and Jazzy and they fit them well. Both have nicknames now. Jazzy has three white toe nails and prances around on her toes like a ballet princess so to us she is "Twinkle Toes". Jake is Jakers and we don't know why.

Both dogs are black lab mix. Their mom was a black lab but not sure what their sire was. Jake is tall and lanky and Jazzy is short, stocky and strong. She is the trouble maker and Jake the protector. It wasn't always that way and later we'll talk about their history. There is always some excitement around here between the dogs, cat, and bird...

The Love Begins At First Sight

Although this is not my favorite photo, it was the beginning of a journey my husband and I began when we decided to open our hearts and home to two puppies who fought for life. 

Originally planning to bring home one puppy, foster mom, Barbara, had no trouble convincing us to keep brother and sister together. 

Bonding was just the beginning, the tale these two have endoured is far from amazing.  This blog is dedicated to their survival and a some of my favorite moments with them caputred in pictures.
