Poor little thing, never really got a chance at life.  We have left the little girl with Bonnie, so Bonnie will understand it is dead.  

Later on, Jessica is going to go buy a miniature rosebush, and we will plant it over the little one's grave.

They are lovely little rugrats.  Eleven puppies, eight girls and three boys.  Most are wildly colored merles with white points.  Two are mostly black with brown points; one of those has white legs and chest.  She had them Saturday, from 5:30 to 10:45.

Bonnie's new puppies

We will be keeping them inside for the first six weeks, until after they get their parvo shots.  Parvo is a real problem out here, and any dog who isn't vaccinated gets it immediately.(Idiots who dump their puppies out here are usually condemning the little ones to a horrible death by parvo.)

Luckily for the puppies, most of them are short haired.  These puppies are longer and leaner looking than the first batch of puppies.  We will adopt them out to good homes, probably at the end of May or beginning of June.

A woman in Kennick, Washington has been arrested for having hundreds of wild birds in and around her house, including many dead and decaying birds in her yard.

She has already been booked on animal cruelty charges, and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife is expected to also charge her with possession of protected species and wildlife.

Some of the birds in her possession were wild magpies, hawks, owls, pheasant, and quail.  Ramona Balko, 70, also had domesticated poultry, a couple of dogs, and a cat.

All of the animals in her care were neglected.
