Dear donor and friend! There was that phone call that changed so many lives. “Two dogs abandoned on a mountain road, the female is pregnant. Can you help?” Wow. What a challenge. Automatically I agreed, but I had no idea, what we possibly could do. And there they were, two beautiful, black Lab mixes, sweet and majestic, siblings for sure, and parents of their future puppies. The male, Olafo, was adopted from the spot. A nice family found out that he is their son’s soulmate and they all left with a big smile on their faces. Finding a foster home for "Eva" (meaning “life giver”) wasn’t difficult either, I just picked the right family to ask and they took her in, without hesitating. Obviously, nobody really imagined the magnitude of that decision. When Eva finally reached the size of an enormous gym ball, she started giving birth, assisted by two vets. We celebrated each newborn, so Eva wouldn’t stop until Lucky was born, the magic number 10!!! Ten tiny blessings, strong and healthy and hungry, ready to bring more happiness into the world. We are still in awe and wonder, and Eva is such a good mother, caring and patient. Her fertile brother Olafo has already been neutered and we certainly will spay Eva as soon as she stops feeding her puppies.
