Puppy Adoption - Welcome Home Sandy


My husband and I have adopted a one year old rescue puppy to our family. Click on her photo above for a larger view. This is day four and we are wore out!!! Sandy is adjusting very well to all the attention and care and that is encouraging. She is part lab which explains her optimism and forgiveness. Before she was rescued, kids had taken her out to a field to use her as target practice. Her tongue had been cut all the way through to about an inch in through the center.... very heartbreaking ... how could anyone could be so cruel?

Before this past weekend, our family included a 9 year old yellow lab who thinks she is human and insists on inner springs and a 12 year old black with a white heart on her chest... kitty! Sandy is our new addition to keep everyone on their toes and active! Em was missing her brother badly so we were also hoping Sandy would cheer her up.... it worked up until yesterday when sore joints and muscle pain set in, not to mention sibling rivalry. I feel her pain... also forgot how energetic puppy's can be, but we will persevere! Time heals all .....
