Three Years Later (Puppies) - Oh, How They Have Grown!

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

This is a reblog in honor of our rescue puppies that came home with us three years ago...and oh my, how they have grown.  I hope you will enjoy their story and the pictures of how they look now...

 

As many of you know (and thank you for all of the kind words) our
oldest and largest 4-legged child past away o
ver the weekend.  Brutus
was my big soldier, 14 and a half years old and he passed peacefully
in his sleep.  Today I went to the shelter that we adopted him from
to sponsor a run in his name to help other dogs waiting for their
"furever" homes.  Well the same thing happened that brought him into
our lives, you see we adopted Brutus when we went to the shelter to
sponsor a memorial for another passed dog...this time we brought home
not one, but two new babies that were waiting for their furever homes.
These two gorgeous puppies were from a litter of seven and they were
the only two left.  After learning their story, they had both had health
problems and the female was adopted once but had been returned, my
husband and I couldn't bear to separate them, so we adopted them both.
They are Doberman Pinscher / German Shepherd mixes,
and are twelve weeks old.  Please meet our new son and daughter,
Heidi and Heinreich.  So now our home is back to five rescue dogs, the
three at home have welcomed their new siblings with resounding woofs.

Thank you Ron and Alexandra Seigel they were certainly a handful as puppies, so much energy...they still have energy to spare, but they know their manners.

This so much reminded me of our German Shepherd. We had 2" x 4" mesh in "his" welded wire fenced back yard. First day out as a pup he got his head stuck in it a year later his snout couldn't fit through. He was a big one!

I always say if you're going to have a dog, have a big one and you have two beauties here. I won't say they're spoiled but content is obviously spelled out in their faces.

Oh, that is funny Kevin J. May .  One of my cutest rescues was a German Shepherd/Dachshund mix...yes, you read that right!  Of course, the Shepherd was the mommy.

No citizenship issues in that relationship in spite of their upringing. Now imagine a Corgi / Dachshund pairing. Mom was the lowest slung Corgi I'd ever seen. She was literally a drag!
