Bobbie

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” Sheba the dog joined the ARF family.

Bobbie: They’re coming and they’re going!

Whiskers: Who’s coming, where are they going?

Lady & her puppies

Bobbie: Calm down, Whiskers. First of all, Sheba already found a forever family. She’s gone to San Diego. And there’s a story behind this puppy announcement.

Audrey

Audrey: What is it? How many puppies? What kind? Who’s the mom?

Bobbie: Take a breath, Audrey.  Here’s the story: A few weeks ago, a really, really sweet little pit bull, Lady, ended up at ARF. A very nice hiker found her on Black Mountain Trail. She hiked with him and his dogs for two days. Then he brought her here.

Pepper: I heard the ARF humans talking about her. Everyone fell in love with her. She’s not very big, and she

likes dogs, cats and kids. And I heard she walks like a perfect lady when on a leash. As a matter of fact, they named her Lady.

Sheba

Bobbie: That’s right. The humans thought maybe she had just had a litter, but within a week they realized she was pregnant! Her foster parents were absolutely in love with her, and when a really nice Idyllwild woman met her, she fell in love, too. And she adopted her!

Sheba: The puppies, too?

Bobbie: No, not the puppies, but she is taking care of all of them for now. When the puppies are 8 weeks old, they can be adopted, or they’ll go to other foster families.

Alice: How many puppies?

Pepper

Bobbie: There were five.  Three girls, two boys.

Sheba: I can’t wait to meet puppies.

Bobbie: I know the humans will want to meet them. They love puppy breath!
