Friend - So what do you do on the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend when you’ve just flown home to Indiana from your daughters Naval Academy graduation and your husband and son are still driving in from MD? Relax. Enjoy those quiet few hours.
SCNR Co-Chair - So what do you do on the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend when you’ve just have gotten home from driving your friend home from the airport and are home alone with the dogs? Relax. Enjoy those quiet few hours.
NOT pick up texts from your SCNR Co-Chair!!!
But I did. Starting about 9:20pm. Ending about midnight. Starting with 7 puppies(possibly needing rescue in the future) ending with 9puppies, mom AND dad needing rescue immediately.
Transport? Foster? Its midnight now…. Pick up arranged for 10:00 am. the next morning! Road trip back to Ohio, to meet SCNR Co-Chair, exactly where friend’s husband and son were driving thru as we were texting….
What do you do when you get that notice, that a dam is dropping her puppies at a large outdoor festival in 87 degree heat and 87% humidity? And that the owner needs to turn the entire family into Rescue. Who do you turn to for a foster??? Your friend who you just dropped off! Who had incidentally told you just within the past month that they were ready to foster a puppy or a younger Newf. 9 newborn puppies does not equal the weight of 1 Newf, right? And how much trouble is a nursing mom? Right? What about Dad? Who can foster Dad? Another late night text to another friend who just happened to still be up and willing to move some dogs around to accommodate another large dog on a holiday! Thank You Kelli C. for going above and beyond at the last minute!
Yup that was the moment our summer vacations took a turn for the unexpected.
We wish to sincerely thank the Simonson’s for taking in, literally on a moment’s notice, 9 pups and a mama to foster for us. The pups came to them at less than 12 hours old. They went home healthy and happy at 11 weeks old. They did an amazing job of nursing them thru illness, weaning, socializing them, teaching them all to swim, giving them a great platform to go out and become the wonderful dogs they are destined to be. It was one of the most work intensive summers they will remember for a long while!
