I'm expecting!!!!!

Yes you hear it right - I'm expecting!   I just heard the news...I'm going to be a new mom.

Little Isabella an 8 week old pit bull puppy and Luke a 12 week old pit bull puppy will be arriving this weekend.   Fast pregnancy hun?

I have wanted to foster some of the dogs at SHIC for some time now but none of them were a good fit for my pack - We have 10 adults at the havens and my pack accepts puppies or seniors and nothing in between. 

After seeing the MANY pit faces cross my email in the past month I saw two pictures out of the hundreds that jumped out at me!

Meet Isabella (Izzy for short)

8-12 weeks old and seen thrown from a car in Cedar Rapids.   She is in an emergency shelter in a home in CR but will be gracing my packs presence in the very near future.

Meet Luke

12 weeks old and scared to death to be in his prison cell in Chicago.  He is being neutered today and will be arriving soon to learn what its like to have a pack, a family, and a life outside of solid walls.

So when told I am a "saint" for pulling these puppies I say actually I am legally insane and I say so with a smile on my face.

When others judge me because I'm not taking a Safe Haven dog its because they don't understand how dogs work.  You can't just throw them all in together and expect everyone to get a long.  You have to KNOW your pack and know what works and what doesn't.  I'm just lucky enough to be able to help a few young pit bulls who will find wonderful forever homes.  

So now my "Island of Misfits" will include 3 pit bull pups - the worlds most compassion and loyal breed in the world!
