There has been a lot of things going on at LGR this week and it’s not over yet! Constant bathing, brushing, drying and grooming, puppies had their first vet visit (all good), Valentine’s appt was scheduled at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital at the end of the month, Harley and Merlot are currently at the vet, Harley getting a dental cleaning, yearly vaccinations and lab work to check his numbers and Merlot getting her spay and any vaccines that she’s needing. I took in another rescue (I will post about him later) and LolliPop came back (no fault of hers). Sparkle will go to the vet later today to check her labs and hopefully lower her medication. Whew 😮💨 I need a nap and some donations 🥱 Please consider donating. 💕🐾😊🐶 Video is of Bella socializing the puppies 🥰
First toy
First toy and momma approved 😊
Valentine
Little Valentine “V” who was given the least amount of care before coming to LGR, now cares for others, there’s a life lesson here. Don’t stay in the past, be grateful for your blessings now and bless someone else. She is so resilient. She is also very inclusive with the other pups and initiates play time even though she was alone, kept in a cage separated from the other pups. Be like V 🥰🐾🐶💕
First taste of goats milk
We made it back from Belize and I really missed all of the pups. I have a lot of catching up to do with grooming, adoption applications/adoptions, vetting and everything in between. I’m scheduling phone interviews over the next 3 days, if you are wanting to be considered for one of the pups that I currently have here at LGR, get your application in ASAP!! Here’s a video of the puppies having their first taste of goats milk last night. Enjoy 😊🐾💕🐶
100th rescue pup
Late post because it’s been a little busy around here 😁 The birth of the fifth and final puppy was also the 100th rescue for us here at LGR. It’s not a large number compared to most rescue organizations but for a single family home with one primary rescuer (me) and 1-2 back up helpers (my husband and daughter) it’s a big deal for us. We have only had one extra person help with this last large group of pups. Your donations make this possible. I was going to stop at one point because of lack of financial support (I had spent everything I had) and then people started donating and now here we are still doing rescue work. One hundred pups given the chance to live a beautiful life in a loving home and touching the lives of numerous people is definitely something to celebrate. Thank you all for your prayers, kind words, donations, facebook likes and shares!! You’re involvement does make a difference 🥰🐾🐶💕
Pups
Sunday Cleaning. Moved the playpens outside for a spray down and thoroughly cleaned the main pup room. The floors stayed cleaned for a good 10-15 minutes!! 😁 Valentine is at the end of the video. She’s doing great, you can see her sassy little trot. She’s still not sure about humans. 🐶💕🐾😊
Champagne
See the puppy kick 🤭🤗
Calm or Chaotic
Always perfect Angels 😁🤫
Sparkle
Look at Sparkle prancing around like she was never at deaths door 🥰👏🏻🙌🏻🐾🐶💕
Valentine
Sunday morning victory report!! This is Valentine. She asked to get out of her playpen this morning to play with the other pups. She was having a blast, saying hello to everyone and everyone was really kind to her. She is so adorable and tiny.
Also, another hallelujah high five… Sparkles was up and following me around this morning wagging her tail. I didn’t get a video but I’ll get one later. She’s napping now after eating a good breakfast. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes for our delicate little babies 😊🐾🐶💕
New Rescues
Three new rescues playing this morning. They are so happy and playful 😌💕🐾🐶
Harley’s TV Time
Harley gets really excited when animals are on the screen, especially dogs. 😁
Jem on the Go
Jem went shopping at the hardware store to get me some new gloves so we could finish his outdoor space. He is so well behaved and walks great on a leash. He’s still just as affectionate in public and would be perfectly content hugging you as you carried him around like a baby 😊🐾🐶💕
Lily Grace Squirrel Hunting
Took Lily Grace and Jem squirrel hunting but Jem decided to let the pro handle it. 😁
This is an update from Quinn’s family. I tried to wait and post a “Where are they now” on Wednesday but I’m just too excited about this. Y’all are going to see me on tv acting like a crazy excited Gamma in the stands one day. 😆
Quinn Update: Quinn graduated from all her Beginning Agility Classes. Quinn is now taking Competition Agility classes. This is Her Graduation Run. Quinn had the fastest time in her class, with 2 off courses. They were talking about her run in the competition class. Quinn is fast! She has (3) Certificates from completing (3) Classes. Quinn had the fastest time, with her being the smallest in the class, on the course.
Mr Jingle’s
Mr Jingle’s was in a NJ shelter, listed as a resource guarder but really he was a full on big dog, keep coming at you biter. I found out later while reading his paperwork that he had been returned once already for biting. It’s been a long journey. Everyone in our family has been bitten by Mr Jingle’s. (We call it the Mr Jingle’s bite club) We have worked on his severe allergy and yeast problems, corrected his diet and worked on his behavior. It took two of us to give him a bath and a chopped up hair cut in the beginning. It’s been 3 years and I’m finally grooming him without help. He insisted that my oldest daughter pick him up and cuddle him yesterday. There’s no doubt that he would’ve been euthanized if left in the shelter. Now he loves going on walks from the front door to the car door with a max speed of a super fast sloth 😆 He is the best shotgun riding buddy, lap warmer and if you’re really in his inner circle, the best face and neck cleaner 🤪 He will eat anything and ask for everything all day long but allergic to almost everything. No one ever has to eat alone in the kitchen, he’s always right there. 😁 Mr Jingle’s is a unique part of our pack. He won’t ever be available for adoption due to his bite history but he will stay with us forever as a family member. If you would like to be a sponsor for Mr Jingle’s and help with his care , please send me a private message.
Side note, the video was taken in the spare bedroom that I’ve been remodeling as the new pup room and bathroom. I removed the old carpet but haven’t put down any new flooring yet but it’s on my to do list 😁
Pup play
My children weren’t allowed to play on the furniture but now it’s cute when the pups do it 😁🤦♀️🐶🐾💕
Jem
Guess who else likes the super loud squeaky toy!! 😵💫😁💕🐶🐾 Jem started playing and interacting with the other pups this week. This is his first time playing with a toy here and I captured it on video. 😊
