Well Hello Everyone. The pups have thrived and grown. Tomorrow the 14th is first shot day and the kids are 6 weeks old. The meet and greet process will start Saturday and these little babes will have prospective homes to go to.

A lot has been going on behind the scenes for the first part of 2010 and we will update you on all the new happenings shortly.

But in the meantime I am sure you just want puppies.

Holly's Story

Well folks another year almost at an end. Would I disappoint my loyal viewers at Christmas? We started this year off with the Goldens and we shall end with a tale of true kindness and giving. Just what we need to keep the spirit of the season alive.

Meet ???, who had wandered up as a stray and the people decided to help by fostering her. Little did they know she was full of surprises. Soon they found out she was expecting. And she had 6 little black girls. However they needed to fill family obligations out of town for the holidays. This girl needed a permanent place to raise her pups. So....... the email went out, the call came. And once again your true blue sucker for a mom and pups said very non commitally, "well the box has been empty a week and you'd have to get her here. "
She had to be gone by the 12th, this was the 10th. Around 1:30 p.m.on the 11th divine intervention took place. I was told to be at the airport at 3:45 on the 12th. So these elves hustled around the house getting everything set for our new arrivals. Now the tough part, a name. Well "Miracle" which Casey had just pulled off might have been appropriate, but this sentimental nut job got silly. I said to Casey "bring her on, she'll have a home for the holidays" Well can you guess? Holly is her name as a great team got her home for the "Holly-Days". Please meet Holly our guest at the inn this Christmas.

The pictures you will see is God working through people and moving mountains to over come whatever stands in the way . When things like this happen you need to recognize the burning bush for what it is. Someone , something, bought this together in a symphony of human compassion. An apt little cliche says it all for us. "There is no such thing as coincidence, it's just God being anonymous."

This is rescue at it finest, at it's most awesome. Where an average "Joe" (named Luke) becomes a hero to a humble grounded rescuer awaiting precious cargo.

There were others you won't see here. Casey, that set the wheels in motion, and Nancy who ran them to the vet to get Holly a rabies and everyone their travel papers and I think got them to the plane. The pilot Lee that flew the first leg. Kristen a friend who snapped these pictures and whom never ceases to be amazed by the network that will do just about anything to save the life of a mere animal. Brenda who will post these pictures and story as she has done hundreds of times before. To Cindi who has driven many of miles with me and missed this one which she so deserved to be in on. And above all else I hope you grasp this final one, doG spelled backwards is God!

Put out your hand to help and it seems there will be another to grab it and make it happen. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter just know there are many that do. Find them and follow a passion that will make your life rich beyond your wildest dreams. We are blessed and are not afraid to say so. And thanks to all who helped you made us feel oh so special.

God Bless you all, and may you have a healthy and happy Holiday season. Merri, Danny, and the crew at the zoo we so fondly call "Lab Rescue"
