Default bag puppies

Thank you so much for this. I have sent this information to Jess and Grant in London and anyone else who is smitten by the plight of the bag puppies. Bless the puppies and bless Karen and Anthony.

Default Puppy update

All six are doing great, they are getting stronger by the day but still need loving homes. They are starting to try and stand but only managing an excellent impression of a rocking horse.
The charitable organisation the vet told us about was run by the vetinery service, as to its were abouts she didn't say. We will check all the sites out listed previously. As for the DEFRA website, the pet passport takes 6 mths to obtain (the rabies injection can be particularly nasty) or they have to go into quarentine, being just a few weeks old that isn't really an option. It did say there was some exclusins but I couldn't find what they were.
A big thank you to Helen for putting the super photos on for us and actively helping with the hunt for homes.

Default Puppies

Hi, you asked if we would take a puppy - if we did not have a Florence then we would no doubt consider it but this small light grey ball of 2 year old tabby cat would not take well to a usurper in her territory. We have noticed in our village in Italy that there seem to be many cats who have no home/owners but they seem to get some food from some of the older residents and also from our cantinas (hence we have no rodents and thank God they can't reach the bats!!). It seems Italians are not overly pet people here and have their animals for work purposes, are we right or way off the mark?

Default Big Thank You

Little Panda has a new home thanks to Deborah & Ricky....what a birthday present for both Ricky and the pup, congratulations to you both. You could tell that they are going to be inseperable.
The other 5 still need loving homes so please, please help, time is quickly running out. If you need convincing as to how adorable they are then check out Ricky's new thread.
This past 10 days has been the most emotional yet rewarding experience of my life, thank you all for your support and please keep spreading the word.

Hi. Trying to persuade my other half to take one. However, we're going to be away from next week until beginning of November which is probably too late for you. Can you let me know which colours and (if you know) sex still need re-homing? Also, if you have, more recent photos would be great, so I can pass the word around in the Force area.

Default Puppy update

Hi all
Nearly time for next feed so this is short & sweet.
The 5 remaining puppies are either all white or black with white chests.
There are 3 dogs (2 wht & 1 blk) & 2 *****es (1 wht & 1 blk). If anyone wants photos then please PM me your e-mail address as we can't upload them onto here as the damn thing just times out - thats dial up for you.
Amazing - We leave for the UK on Wed 29th Oct - but I'm sure some kind person would look after the pup for you till you returned in Nov.

Default the darling puppies

I will pass by and take some photographs to post to all who are following this story. Karen says their eyes are open and they are trying to walk. Think about it, if you take a found-in-a-bag puppy you will be doted on by your beloved doggy for ever and we will love you. What more could anyone need? What Karen and Anthony have done shows such personal strength and devotion. I really admire them. Pictures to follow soon so keep reading and keep telling your friends and I am sure between us we can find homes for the five.
