Big puppy mauled by little puppies

My "Mauled by Puppies" video posted last weekend was quite popular, so I thought you might enjoy another variation on the theme. 

Making a guest appearance in this video is Breanna, the bigger pup, who is also from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue now being fostered by ARVSS in Wisconsin. She came in alone from Ponemah and was so frightened, there was concern she might not tame down. She seems to be doing fine.

In a cameo appearance, the family cat supervises from a safe height :-)

Enjoy!!

Mauled by puppies

This is the litter of nine tiny orphan puppies Karen rescued and bottlefed at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. We're so thankful to ARVSS for taking them in, although they might be having second thoughts about now...

Nine tiny orphaned pups

On November 25th, Red Lake Rosie's Rescue got a call that a mama St. Bernard dog had been attacked by three dogs and killed east of the Redby area. She left behind nine beautiful orphan babies who now had not eaten for two days. The owner said they were two weeks old, but they appeared younger.

The nine hungry orphans arrived that Sunday night and were all in need of bottling. Needless to say the next week was continuous feeding and toileting of these babies to try and keep them alive. At one point I wondered if I was going to make it. Some of the runts were not doing well, and I was running out of milk.

Thankfully at midweek, Polly visited the shelter and helped adjust the nipples making the feeding much easier. Polly has a great knack at bottling kittens and puppies.

Then Susie and Matt of ARVSS stepped forward offering to take the orphans. It was a great relief.

The puppies joined a giant transport of 45 animals with Jenny Fitzer and Diane Dunker. We were all concerned that the puppies might not survive the trip as a couple of them would not eat. The trip was very stressful for them.

Kristin Ripley met the transport, fed and toileted the babies and went on to Black River Falls, WI, to meet Susie and Matt.

Miraculously, they all made it and look at them now!

Thank you to all the transporters, bottlers, and to ARVSS for taking on this tremendous challenge.

Sincerely, Karen Good
