3/28/07: Peeps arrived Saturday with the other puppy mill Goldens.  She is a small Golden, weighing in at 53.4 pounds.  She was very scared when she first arrived but is starting to come out of her shell.  She even runs up to me when we are outside.  She is still too scared to run into the house and will stay very close to her kennel.  Peeps did hurt her right shoulder and we watching it.  Her vet thinks it is a bruise but we will check back on it in a week.  Aster and Peeps seem to have a bonding thing going.  Aster, our resident Golden, came from a puppy mill herself.  Peeps seems to be getting encouragement from Aster in the attached picture.  Peeps is unavailable for a few weeks as we sort out her medical issues.

I held Peeps as we helped her cross over the bridge on 10/18/18.

Peeps had a rough start coming from the puppy mill back in 2007. I was helping with the rescue when Peeps came in. A volunteer asked if anyone had suggestions for names and I called out Peeps as I was helping some of the medical volunteers with another golden.

After a long night of working with dogs and fosters we had one dog left that didn’t have a foster, Peeps. I agreed to take Peeps until a foster could pick her up. The next day one of our foster dogs found a home and Peeps stayed.  She started as a foster but quickly became a permanent part of our family.

Peeps overcame so many things and in the end she was a true golden, able to greet people without fear. On the 17th Peeps was running and playing with our other dogs and grandchildren. During the night she couldn’t keep anything down. In the morning she collapsed.

We rushed her to her vet and found she was filled with internal masses and there was nothing that could be done so we held her as she went to sleep.  Thank you RAGOM for all you do for these wonderful dogs.

Guess what, mom got the camera out and tried to catch a couple of pictures of me.  I think she missed most of them because I was moving so fast.  I love to play outside, and I even remembered to bring my ball with me (see new photo at the top of my page).  Got to run we are on our way to the park.Peeps
