9/1/05: Puppy kisses!! We received a phone call this morning that 9 puppies lost their mother. They are two-weeks old and not yet old enough to eat on their own, so will be bottle-fed for at least the next week, and after that they hopefully will be able to start eating some very thin puppy gruel mixed with formula. No, they aren?t Golden Retrievers - they're a Lab mix. But they are seriously in need and we couldn?t say no. Kelli, an absolutely fantastic volunteer, has offered to short-term foster them for us. She owns and breeds Golden Retrievers and is extremely experienced in caring for young puppies, so these little ones are in very good paws :) Golden thanks to Kelli, and also to Michele and Konnie for taking over for Kelli!

Please welcome "Honorary Goldens" Kylee, Nikki, Gracie, Molly, Tatka & Jube (females) and Newton, Badger & Ole (males). All have been named after RAGOM foster or resident dogs that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
