 saved-puppy-in-curacao Good morning all, what a night we had! Aimee and I took of to Caracasbaai right after work with plans on catching all five puppies! Well when we got there we put food down and immediately caught the bravest one first but after grabbing her the rest went running back into the cave. So then Aimee being the brave soul she is got down on the ground and crawled into the cave with only her legs sticking out and seconds later immerged with another very scared little female. So we had two in the crate, the others were really far out of reach up under a rock ledge so we figured we would just wait for them to come back out on their own. While waiting at the car we found two other puppies from another litter but one was dead and the other was taking her last breath, it was so heartbreaking!! Aimee made an emergency call and I took off like a rocket to get a needle and solution to put the puppy to sleep humanely. Aimee worked for a vet clinic in the states so she has all kinds of needed experience for such a task, I could have never done it and we needed to end the suffering immediately! It took me around 30 minutes to go and get supplies and while gone she managed to catch a third puppy. It was now pitch dark and no way of catching the other two so we left them with mother. We will go back tonight and feed those two but we are planning on leaving them there until we can get these three taken care of first. So once home we gave each one a bath first, they had ticks, fleas and their nails needed to be trimmed, they hated it!! These puppies are still really scared, they huddled together in one big ball all night. I was up on the hour checking on them and turning on the air to keep their room cool they did eat some food this morning. Aimee is with them all now in the bathroom they are still pretty scared but she is taking them all to the vet this morning for a check-up so stay tuned!
I have to go walk our dogs while Aimee runs to the vet, talk to you tonight, Barry
